I'm going to idle for at least 48 hours straight to see if I get a hat, if I do, then I'll stop moaning about not having any hats. If not, I will continue as normal, I'll start at around 5pm today

ok cool, have fun with that, if you find a server that doesnt kick you (unless you use this fake idle shiz) tell me, wouldt mind hatz

[TSG] Harry found one so I'll ask him about it, but I do have a 3rd party program in mind

What's a hat?

A hat is a hat on tf2, they are rather rare to find although i have the medic hat

They dont do anything accept look mega hardcore :O
I think they should do something, like + 10% defence or something.

i put on myu wizard roeb and hat???

How does one go about obtaining a hat?

They, like other weapons on tf2 are randomly obtained, based on a random timer. So when you are playing you'll get a message saying "You have found ..." whatever you've found. Not to be misinterpereted as actually seeing it and picking it up.

The weapons come USUALLY every 6 - 7 hours of gameplay but its random so could be anytime

The hats come.. well i dont know as i've only got one. So from 40 - 50 hours of gameplay i have 1 hat, Dragon with his way more hours than me has no hats so... You get the idea.

Hats are extremely rare and randomly dropped.

I don't have one.

You get a chance to get an unlockable every 20 minutes, so I've got 140 or so chances to get one

And apparantly you only get hats in 0.45% of the times you actually get an item

Apparently, so after 450 hours or so you should definitely have one, which just...doesn't happen

You can get random weapons too?

Yeah, all the weeapons can now be unlocked by achieves or the random drop system.

Originally the random drop as the only way to get the new weapons from the sniper/spy update but people got annoyed because they didnt get any for ages so valve caved and added the achieves again like the rest of the classes.

They drop from names in Everfrost

The exact chance for any hat is 0.5% every minute. This doesnt acummulate however, so you don't end up getting more chances of getting hats.

It's not every minute, it's every successful random weapon roll, which I believe happens something like every 15 minutes with 25% chance of success. Also, the chance is apparently 0.05% per hat (before this update, we don't know whether this update has kept the same overall chance for getting any hat, or whether it's 0.05% per hat or something else). These statistics were given by the guy who made the idler program.

So yeah, hats are very very rare.

i have 3 (sniper, soldier and medic)

Tarnish notte the majesty of my TOWER of HATS

Ah, I got my figures from the TF2 Wiki lol Chances are they are probably wrong xD I'm just going to be organising things for the time being

Ver very very very *ahem shall i go on?* Rare...

I hate you MC

as if he has 3 hats, one o fmy mates got 3 hats in 30 mins from the fake idler... hate him too

Grrrr. I WANT A HAT.
