The Blighted Beak is a community-created miscellaneous item for the Medic and was released as a part of the Australian Christmas update. It appears as a bird-like mask that is styled directly after the primitive respirators historically worn by Template:W.
Previous Changes
- The item is added to the Mann Co. Store, made craftable, and included in random drops.
- The Blighted Beak is now a misc item.
Notes
Blighted Beak has major clipping issues with the following hats:[1]
- Otolaryngologist's Mirror
- Vintage Tyrolean
- Berliner's Bucket Helm
- Spine-Chilling Skull
- Voodoo Juju
- Saxton Hale Mask
- Wiki Cap
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 Blighted Beak, alongside the Le Party Phantom, is one of the only two misc items which can have an unusual particle effect attached to it. This allows for players with an unusual hat and misc for these classes to have two particle effects on their class at the same time.
- 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.
