Strange Quality items.

It appears that any weapon from a crate is now a strange weapon, We need to fully explore these new weapons to see if they have any other unique characteristics--Nintyuk 04:25, 24 June 2011 (PDT)

There aren't any. They count kills and "level up"; seems to be the limit of their functionality. ~ Ath (talk) 04:43, 24 June 2011 (PDT)

Strange quality items have their killcount reset when traded. --Phaser Rave 13:57, 25 June 2011 (PDT)

The Chargin Targe doesn't appear to tally any kills even if you kill with the charge, probably because it's not an active weapon, but a passive one. I haven't submitted a bug report on this yet, so if anyone wants to, be my guest. The Riet 18:05, 25 June 2011 (PDT)

There needs to be a full list of all the weapons. It seems some weapons do not have a "strange" counterpart. Havox 03:05, 12 July 2011 (PDT)

There is a full list and it's been available since the Strange weapons were added to the game. Click here. 404 User Not Found 08:06, 12 July 2011 (PDT)

Unusual weapons?

I've seen several people requesting unusual weapons on trading sites, but I have yet to see anyone with one. Do they actually exist? -- Swarfega  T  C  13:29, 26 June 2011 (PDT)

Nope. Well not for now anyway. —Moussekateer·talk 13:30, 26 June 2011 (PDT)

Strange so why are people asking for them? -- Swarfega  T  C  13:32, 26 June 2011 (PDT)

Often times, people will use Unusual rarity, then leave something in the notes like "Ignore "Unusual" rarity, I'm looking for Strange" or something, as most trading sites such as the TF2 Trading Post don't have "Strange" rarity in the system yet. At least, that's what I did when I put in a trade on the trading post for Strange weapons. I selected "Unusual" 404 User Not Found 13:37, 26 June 2011 (PDT)

I guess so, but Ive seen plenty with no comments, I guess theyre just assuming the pros know what they mean. Thanks guys. -- Swarfega  T  C  13:38, 26 June 2011 (PDT)

Technically, there is one Unusual weapon, but it's fairly common due to how easy it is to trade for one or obtain the components needed to craft it. ButteredToast 05:38, 1 August 2011 (PDT)

Strange Weapon Drops

While I have no good solid evidence, I have heard a few people say they actually had strange weapons drop for them. Has anyone seen some more solid evidence of this being the case?

It may be another instance of that bug where people got Scrap/Reclaimed/Refined Metal as a "drop", when in actuality it was the crafting system or something failing to properly give the metal. This might be the case with the crates. People may not have received the weapon properly from the crate and then later obtained it as a drop. 404 User Not Found 18:24, 29 June 2011 (PDT)

Strange bug

How would I proceed if I were to add a bug to the strange quality section?

Since it's limited to one weapon, should I add it to that particular weapon or in this page? -- Mistah Phoenix _(talk) 17:17, 20 July 2011 (PDT)

My instinct would be to put it on its own page, specifying that the item is Strange. I'm not entirely sure, but this is supported by the lack of a 'Bugs' section on this page. Shane Alvarado 17:26, 20 July 2011 (PDT)

Shane is correct, such information is not relevant to the description of item qualities; and should be placed on the weapon page in question, citing the strange requirement for reproduction. ~ Ath (talk) 08:10, 21 July 2011 (PDT)

Is it easier to read?

Well I seen update in this page but I think it's harder to read. Does anyone think like me? Hinaomi 06:53, 28 July 2011 (PDT)

No it isn't just you. The only thing the previous edits did was desynchronize the color table and backpack examples. It has since been undone. -- Lagg 07:54, 28 July 2011 (PDT)

Vintage Quality First Distribution

I'm not sure, but before I go ahead and edit, wasn't it all items that you had before the Mann-Conomy update that became vintage, and not just "certain items"?
