Notes

Blighted Beak has major clipping issues with the following hats:[1]

A fix for the clipping of a majority of the hats has been sent to Valve who said that they will fix it come the new year.

Trivia

  • During the Black Plague, doctors wore beak-like masks stuffed with flowers and spices to ward off terrible smells. It was believed that these foul odors were the cause of infection.
  • The mask, unlike a Plague doctor's mask, does not cover the full face, and upon closer inspection it can be seen that the nose does not have a bottom part (where the flowers and spices would be), making it more akin to a masquerade mask than a plague mask.
