TF2 General FAQs

>I haven’t played in a while, and I have all these items. How much are they worth?
4-
Backpack.tf and tf2spreadsheet.blogspot.com are what many TF2 traders and players use to check the value of their items. TF2G recommends backpack.tf, due to the corruption of the spreadsheet owner, and using it for his own gains (allegedly).  Some users don’t use either and check the prices of the items by visiting trading sites, including bazaar.tf, tf2outpost.com, and tf2tp.com.

>I’ve played enough on TF2 public servers. Where do I go?

Ask around the thread if people are doing a “PUG” or a “pick up game”. Join the group (http://steamcommunity.com/groups/vgsixes) and receive announcements about upcoming games. And I guess there’s this link about Highlander (HL) and 6’s, so here: http://www.ugcleague.com/

Ask around the thread if people are doing a “PUG” or a “pick up game”. A PUG is a fun, semi-serious games in competitive format (usually 6v6). Join the group (http://steamcommunity.com/groups/vgsixes) and receive announcements about upcoming games. And I guess there’s this link about Highlander (HL) and 6’s, so here: http://www.ugcleague.com/

The best thing you can do is not complain about it and bring up a new topic. The thread is what everyone makes it. If you don’t like it, ignore, filter, move on, and bring something up TF2 related. If it doesn’t work? Try a different topic. Whining about it only makes it worse.

Well, you can try to use itemtest (just make a server with the itemtest map, type “itemtest” into the console, and try different loadouts). You can also get Garry’s Mod, but you’ll have to install a few plug-ins for it to work. Or, use the free Source Filmmaker to test items and classes. If you don’t know how to do any of those or they can’t work for you, I’m sure someone in thread will be happy to help you.

No. Even if you’re excited that you jewed a Cloudy Moon Dapper Topper or a Sunbeams Desert Marauder, keep it to yourself. There are people who lurk the thread waiting for someone to slip up so they can report you. Just keep it to the Steam Chat, please.

Well, you can try to use itemtest (just make a server with the itemtest map, type “itemtest” into the console, and try different loadouts). You can also get Garry’s Mod, but you’ll have to install a few plug-ins for it to work. Or, use the free Source Filmmaker to test items and classes.

87
25 - Strange Flaregun
88
24 - Strange Ambassador
89

30 - Everything will provide greater than a key profit, though only the Strange Kritzkreig and Strange Gunslinger are worth more than the crate itself 
91
31 - Strange Degreaser 
92
33 - Strange Your Eternal Reward
93
38 - Strange Dead Ringer
94
39 - After Eight paint
