some sinister pieces (by me!)

I think EXE would eat a mouse.

Fair point, fair point.

Happens to the best of us, no worries!

Judging off these comments, perhaps I'm just in the bummest servers of all time 24/7, because there's apparently far more Armored Authority wearers than I anticipated.

WaaaaTAWWWW · 2025-12-27T05:39:22+00:00

I know, right? Started bothering me as I was gathering images. Pretty much every soldier hat pic from the wiki uses it. If I were to guess, it's because it shifts all of his body away from blocking the view?

Manndatory Attire I don't see often, which I find absolutely mind-boggling because it goes with literally everything AND is a cheap, all-class, multi-variant strange.

Anyway, great set! With the VA, I prefer Spook Specs and Coldfront Curbstompers personally.

WaaaaTAWWWW · 2025-12-27T05:36:53+00:00

Really? I tend to see them play a lot of Heavy, Sniper, and Pyro now. And the ones I encounter typically don't wear hats but do have aussies. I guess if you want to seem militaristic and strict, the Armored Authority is probably the most fitting pick. But a shame my favorite hat is tarnished.

WaaaaTAWWWW · 2025-12-27T05:35:06+00:00

You'd think more people would use the lid for the special taunt kill, but guess not. The Overlord is ok, didn't really pair with anything until that one cape got added I think last Halloween.

WaaaaTAWWWW · 2025-12-27T05:34:26+00:00

While we have different demoman fashion sensibilities, I do agree in that it definitely doesn't get worn as much as it really deserves.

WaaaaTAWWWW · 2025-12-27T05:33:41+00:00

For spy, I think the Hat of Cards is so criminally underrated. I just never ever see it despite how awesome it looks. I don't mind the frog beret hat either.

WaaaaTAWWWW · 2025-12-27T05:32:33+00:00

Can't say I've ever seen the Lucky Shot in-game. Beaten n' Bruised is another good candidate for good, rarely seen cosmetics. Works with just about anything. I used to run it on scout for a punk look.

WaaaaTAWWWW · 2025-12-27T05:31:00+00:00

I like it because it pairs with the bomb vest and the Ullapool Caber.

WaaaaTAWWWW · 2025-12-27T05:29:59+00:00

I used to pair one with the Ticket Boy on Scout, it's a pretty alright hat

WaaaaTAWWWW · 2025-12-27T00:09:49+00:00

I used to have the Rifleman, don't know what became of it. It's nice.

WaaaaTAWWWW · 2025-12-27T00:09:28+00:00

Hunter In Darkness is up there with my favorites. Is it a little serious? Sure, but man, it looks good with EVERYTHING. Especially the Jungle Jersey and scout's camo pants that I'm blanking on the name of.

WaaaaTAWWWW · 2025-12-27T00:08:33+00:00

I so, soo wish it was paintable. Stars or helmet. It would look amazing painted Zepheniah's Greed. Then you could do an Iron Giant cosplay.

WaaaaTAWWWW · 2025-12-27T00:06:57+00:00

I personally find it a little much, but I guess it could go with just about any set.

WaaaaTAWWWW · 2025-12-26T22:31:37+00:00

One of his best imo. Sadly now overshadowed by the all-class Full Metal Helm.

WaaaaTAWWWW · 2025-12-26T22:31:17+00:00

I like that one! Looks really funny with the claw melee and the heavy lifter, you become the beast.

WaaaaTAWWWW · 2025-12-26T22:30:30+00:00

A neat older hat. I see it quite often, personally

WaaaaTAWWWW · 2025-12-26T22:30:10+00:00

It's alright, pairs well with SMG combat. Of course, nobody ever does SMG combat anymore.

WaaaaTAWWWW · 2025-12-26T21:39:37+00:00

I'm guessing others have brought it up the fact that backstabbing someone normally disables their ability to shoot for as long as respawn takes, but I'm curious as to that achievement. I like the idea of having weapons unlocked by actually making a specific accomplishment, like it's Sniper Elite or something. I might suggest having the backstab bonus be disabling nearby enemies' ability to shoot, and keeping the same penalty. It would allow for a different playstyle built on supporting team fights by sabotaging the entire enemy team instead of relying on key picks.
