TF2 Glitches: What Went Wrong?

- TF2 is really broken. From paintable weapons, killstreak kits that can be used on ANY item, to exploits to create NON-EXISTENT weapons and more. We look at it all.
Continuing our TF2 interesting facts series "TF Trivia" by looking at TF2's history of glitches and also what caused them. This includes impossible "meta" information about hats and weapons such as weapons which aren't strange but can still count kills. We also look at some crazy killstreak items including hats and even killstreak keys or crates. Of course we cover the well known painted Cow Mangler and the item schema obtained Deflector originally only intended for MvM robots. Finally, we look at what is legitimately the weirdest item I've ever seen in TF2: it's just a white square. How? What? Why? I have no idea.

During 2013 people could craft the MvM gate bot hats, Valve fixed it some hours later and everyone that crafted one got a "Glitched Circuit Board" and its a rare item.
so after crafting something impossible, you now get something rare.
a soul for a soul I suppose
772nd and 2nd. Thats a cool story.
DUDE FINALLY
SOMEONE ELSE WHO KNOWS
@@Obi_Con its literally on wiki
would've been really cool if they got a proper version of the hat they crafted instead of a "fuck you suck my dick" circuit board that does nothing
they could've at the very least have made the circuit board some kind of visible cosmetic

Blank killstreaks only dropped on the very day that the Tough Break update dropped, I happened to get one and decided to apply it on my HHHH. Best decision I've made.
As funny as it is to have a "killstreak key" or something, I have to agree that putting it on something that can actually get a kill count is the way to go
@@Casperr I love my spec ks rj, violet sheen looks beautiful
What does HHHH?
@@ahedgehog9297 the HHHH is an eyelander reskin, can be crafted using haunted metal scrap
OH, you mean the headless horseless horseman’s headtaker?
Very cool! I have a glitched sniper rifle that's missing the ability to ever hit those God damn scouts all up in my face.
Cool to see you here! Hope you’re doing well!
👋
Relatable as fuck
I actually know how to get these! It typically involves a PEBKAC error which'll sadly go away over time, so enjoy it while ya can man!
ha ha
when i saw the ‘glitched bat’ i was expecting it to be like the ban hammer, a one shot weapon
That *would* be pretty cool! AFAIK there has never been a glitch that actually gave a competitive advantage like that though, I'm guessing all of those attributes are stored/calculated on the server so would be very unlikely for a glitch to make a random dropped weapon somehow have extra stats
@@Casperr Abit of an obsecure knowledge here but the main reason Normal quality bats came to existance was because a group of friends discovered that when you type BAT on the shuffle thingy in the Mann Co. Stockpile Crate a normal quality bat comes to the drop menu of that crate
nah I bet instead of a 1 shot weapon, it would've been a 1-damage weapon.
a bat that's worse than literally anything, but stronger than a basic gibbus hat
@@frozenfiredarknight3764 what are you talking about? You’re just saying random words
@@skade245 It's called a sentence.
I played with a sniper once who had a glitched sniper rifle that let him shoot through walls with perfect accuracy.
I think that is called "hacking".
@@khrows330 nah he was TOOAAAAAAAATALLLLLYYYY legit, his entire team supported him on that, (my team was all saying the same thing you said though)
That's quite funny because so did I. Small world I guess.
For me, I would consider the last item to be the rarest, most mysterious item. I mean, I know there are other items that are one of a kind, but this TF2 Upgrade to Premium thing is just too mysterious. No one knows where it came from, as opposed to other items that have an origin on how to obtain. It's just a plain mystery no one else would ever know.
the upgrade to premium actually comes from your first purchase on official tf2
(like the mann co store), its basically one of the methods the game brings you from F2P to premium (like the upgrade to premium gift)
on your first mann co store purchase as a f2p this will come along in the steam purchase for free as an addition to the item you bought
@@nicholasdarrylh.9062 No. The item you are saying about is "upgrade to premium gift", not the mysterious glitched "upgrade to premium"
in 2015 there came a glitch with the gun mettle update that allowed you to craft achievement and stock items. This means that when trying to craft a spy melee weapon, you could get a black rose or when crafting an engineer secondary, you could get a crafted stock pistol or the lugermorph (all in unique quality of course). Unfortunately i was a free to play back in the day and couldn't craft much, but one momento i still have from that glitch is a self-crafted non-tradable stock bat for scout.
achievement items?
like the Saxton Hale mask or the Backscatter? or a gibbus hat?
@@frozenfiredarknight3764 i'm not sure whether you could craft achievement hats aswell, but all achievement weapons were craftable for sure.
@@arturr.9825 wait.. what weapons are from achievements? cuz so far I only know that hats and specific items like the backscatter, the Base Jumper, and "The Classic" rifle.
@@frozenfiredarknight3764 What I meant were the promotional achievement items (big kill, black rose, iron curtain, lugermorph etc), that were thusfar only obtainable through achievements in untradable form (some tradable ones were released into circulation through customer support mistakes and duplication).
Wait? You can't do that now?
Honestly, Paintable weapons like the cow Mangler glitch should actually be a thing. It's another layer of customizability that would be appreciated.
Or in other words: warpaints
@@communistheavy8117 war paints are good, but there's still some weapons that don't work with it.
there's actually a blog post on the TF2 website that mentions that Valve were thinking of making weapons paintable, though I can't remember if that blog post came before or after war paints
My guess would be that Valve wanted to make that a thing, but then scrapped it for some reason. Cow Manglers (and maybe other weapons?) were programmed to display paint but they forgot to cancel the feature when the update came out after the idea was rejected.
@@joaquinduverne6259 no, the cow mangler just uses the texture paintability technique for its team-specific colors
Fun fact: cosmetics with killstreakers on them DO count your killstreak independently from what weapon you use but DO NOT typically show any sheen.
That makes me really want the Bonk Hat then.
Your editing is amazing, this must have taken yonks! Awesome job
Is that the real Toofty Team Fortress Two?
No Kidding this is Amazing!!!

howdy
I don't know the specifics, but there used to be a glitch that allowed you to put unusually long descriptions and names on items. Great video by the way! And stellar editing!
The only glitched items I’ve definitely seen in game have been a single painted cow mangler, and it twisted my brain to read that item card a few times. And very recently I saw whatever player “has FOUND: Scattergun”. Not Redeemed, it said he FOUND a Scattergun from a drop. There were several of us in chat that were freaking out and the guy who found it didn’t get what the hype was about.
I've always wanted to cover glitched items because their existence is so bizarre, but you really knocked this video out of the park. Loved it! :)
When the Cheater's Lament was introduced, the only way for them to display text was by making a temporary placeholder item to be displayed before/over the cheater's Lament item.
TL;DR person logged in and then out before getting cheater's Lament, still has placeholder in backpack.
To quote the wiki: "When players viewed their backpacks after receiving the cheater's Lament on September 2nd, 2009, the following message was displayed: "Congratulations! Your honesty has been rewarded with a new hat!" The message did not appear, however, when the item was awarded to the community during the Mann-Conomy Update."
I remember watching a video a while back that someone had gotten their hands on the only unusual body misc in existence because of some fuck-up during an update that was patched almost immediately.
I can think of 2 off the top of my head. The Hunter Heavy and the Coffin Kit. Unusual Coffin Kits have truly insane price tags .
I've got a Level 4 Eyelander, lol. Eyelanders are only supposed to be Level 5, but apparently there was an MvM drop glitch where incorrect levels were being applied to weapons that had fixed levels (i.e., well, the eyelander). Probably not worth shit, but who knows.
That actually sounds really cool to me, if you ever trade it I'm interested
I apprieciate that Valve didnt just delete all these items, allowing them to be rare collectioner items.
They are like the golden wrenches, but even rarer. also very useful for the economy, since TF2 is very big into trading (its basically super expensive collective item)
(yes they removed the gate bot hats, but i kinda agree with that since there were a lot of them created, and not just a few. but they still gave these peoples something in return)
They profit off the rarity. The higher the price on the community market, the larger the cut when it sells.
@@jamvan1000 yeah its a win win for everyone
Bummer they removed the deflector
I wish I had a universal kill streak kit to apply to my necro smasher :(
you just want to be like that Merasmus Smasher map and count the amount of souls you smashed. lol
@@frozenfiredarknight3764 that would be a dream come true xD
Necro smasher has a dedicated kit,you dont need an universal one
@@tezcanaslan2877 I honestly think universal killstreak kits not intentionaly existing is malevolent
I wanna put it on my Prinny Machete, cuz it was the first item I got and it's special to me
less than a month ago, I saw a pyro on the BLUE team with a RED team flamethrower. I inspected it while they were in spawn and it had the assassin grade item quality, it was stange, but had no skin or name. Very spooky.
it could of had a warpaint and it just didnt load maybe?
@@BabzaiWWP well thats what I thought, but it didn't have any war paint name. Usually it says something like 'Butcher Bird Minigun" or "Pumpkin Patch Sniper Rifle" but this flamethrower just said "flamethrower"
My favorite use of the universal killstreak kits was soundsmith using one on his rocket jumper. I found that use really funny
If he gets another, he should put it on his Mantreads for maximum trolldier tracking
@@mewmew8932 I know you commented this 9 months ago, but if you watch his vids carefully, you can see his Mantreads actually have a killstreak sheen
Here's a fun lil glitch nobody's mentioned yet.
In the very beginning of Jungle Inferno, all the war paints went from Civilian grade to Commando grade in their respective collections. Not just with the free ones you get from contracts, but the ones you could unbox from cases as well. I unboxed a macaw masked unusual and found it was freelance grade.
If I had unboxed one of a lower grade, I could've put a stat-clock on it and gotten an easy strange unusual. (Which is what some people did)
Hey, I'm an item collector myself, and I have a few of these, including the coveted Collector's Specialized Killstreak Concheror (Manndarin), as well as a vintage specialized killstreak level 0 ubersaw, and a unique pda. I also have some fairly rare items as well, hit me up if you want some pics of them or something!
It’s actually possible to make other killstreak cosmetics show their sheen, though you have to manually mod the vmt files of said cosmetic for it to show up.
The upgrade to premium item thing is a placeholder item you get automatically when you purchase something on the mannco store for the first time. It's listed as map stamp because as far as I know you can't have map stamps in your backpack it's just a way to support Devs so that item works in a same way, don't know how it occurred probably something like an item server error. Also it's listed as not craftable because that was the base quality of items from the mannco store since ~2015, nowadays all the new items released on the store just stay craftable and unique but the only ones that benefit from this are the new taunts and the prinny items the rest still come out as dirty quality
in terms of the initial section about incorrect meta values, it may have been worth also mentioning the strange normals (grey text, "stock" quality color as opposed to the yellow uniques.) that came from gun mettle in 2015 and the actually fully fixed unique unusuals that came from the same bug in halloween 2016 that spawned the strange uniques. the latter case is i think especially interesting since it is as far as i'm aware, the only time valve has outright not allowed a glitched item type to continue existing.
The strange normals and uniques also have special attributes, normals don't show in killcams and uniques can't have name and description tags removed iirc.
I met a guy with a Normal Strange Scattergun with Exorcism and had 3 Haunted Cosmetics, double spelled. I was ASTONISHED.
Another use for the universal killing streaks - they can be applied to Rocket Jumper and Sticky Jumper. I know it gives the rocket jumper the shiny effect ( -tho idk bout sticky jumper cuz i never saw one- _someone else in comments said they have the effect working on sticky jumper_ )
You can usually get kills with it to get the quality, tho some servers with modified stats allow that. But you get the shine anyway so that cool
There are 2 types of "normal tradeable bats".
The level 0 ones, which came into existance as u described correctly, aswell as a level 1 version that came with a glitch in the stockpile crate programming. U could enter certain keywords into the "loot generator" text field and end up with a stockpile crate containing a "bat" as one of the 4 possible outcomes of unboxing it. Thats how the level 1 bats were created. The glitch was patched, a few of those glitched stockpile crates still exist however. In case u wanna see them, i have one in my inventory as i once bought a normal bat and wanted to see how it came into existance. "Black Rain" found said glitch back then, and gave me one of the crates as a gift.
Also items can actually come in 256 different levels. Theres the standart level 1-100 with a few glitched level 0 exceptions for regular items, aswell as level 101 - 255 + rare level 0 drops in Mann up mode. Whenever u complete a tour in Mann up, your botkiller / killstreak kit or even australium, has the level of the tour number u got it on. This works all the way till tour 255. After 255, the level of the item doesnt reset to 1, but instead goes to level 0 first. This is why there are a couple of level 0 australiums in existance (and possibly more in the future)
There also used to be a painted Vita-Saw at one point in time. I did some sleuthing around old inventories and item databases and found proof of its existence. The paint reportedly never showed up on the weapon's model, only upon inspecting and in the backpack and stuff. To my knowledge, there was only one to ever exist. Its whereabouts are currently unknown, as I've been unable to track it past a certain date in a certain backpack. I'm assuming it's been deleted. I've got some info on it if you're ever interested!
sold to person with private backpack likely
I managed to grab a blank Specialised Killstreak Kit one time, so I shoved it on a Collector's Sticky Jumper. It shows the killstreak sheen as intended, unlike most other glitched killstreak loadout items your class can hold in-game!
I like how Valve used the incorrect meta items intentionally when they made VSH, since Saxton’s weapon is a pair of fists that count kills but isn’t strange and is locked at 9001 kills, making them Hale’s Own Fists. On Saxton Hale.
That "Boo Balloon" cosmetic is still broken after 8 years of being in the game, it breaks reality whenever you walk around with it.
Being a (Starting) glitched item collector, I think the Strange Normals are the most interesting. I do have an item you didn't talk about and it's a Unique Bat with a description that is uh...Pretty long. Anyway, nice video.
pls post here your bp link, i wanna check it out
Ive run across a crafted shooting star before, craft number 4 professional killstreak shooting star. I wonder how that one happened
yay an new casperr video, as the solider would say "today is a good day!"

Ace the Ocarina Maker has a special Phlog with the green flames particle effect, making his phlog look like a regular flamethrower in terms of particles during Halloween/full moon
I wished they made the universal killstreak kit a real thing, of course it would only be able to be applied to weapon but the idea of it would be neat
It would massively drop the economy on killstreak weapons though
@@pharam9937 nah, it would be rarest one to get to balance out it's usefulness
@@pharam9937 vintage stranges
I had a friend who bought a rare sniper rifle skin at the start of the gun metal update, he than later sold it during the update but he came back and had a glitched tradable stock sniper rifle which had never been named or given a description. I don't believe he still has it but it was weird and can't really find many similar cases.
it is so weird to that a guy with such entertaining videos and great editing doesn't get as many subscribers and views as he should. Hopefully the CZcams algorithm can do something about that.
casper your vids man they are so good. so good.
I’m a big glitch collector I’m glad to see this being covered. Just a bit sad you didn’t cover the tradable community sparkle lugermorphs.
I did see them in my research and what lead me to leave them out was that some people suggested they might not *necessarily* be glitched. Because they were apparently given to the devs from Sam & Max and were (one of?) the first community sparkle items ever, it's possible that Valve gave these out with the intended attributes (tradability) before they'd really established the concept of community sparkle items not being tradeable. Didn't seem concrete either way though, so I didn't want to speculate about it in the video just in case
Casperr ah I see. They are technically glitched though as the other self made Sam and max items with community sparkle remain self made like the Max’s severed heads, but upon items turning vintage team fortress devs accidentally turned all Lugers including the community sparkle ones vintage which is why they are vintage despite having the community effect. It’s really interesting stuff. Still my top item in my personal collection.
I don't know whether this is a glitch or not, but I have a strange haunted garden bristles with carnival kills as a killstreak.
Very very slick editing, great job
Very interesting video! Great editing! Keep up the good work :)
Players used to be able to equip cosmetics that clipped together before Valve patched most of it. Afterwards players used to also be able to equipped/clip items together by lagging themself's while changing cosmetics, but that was also later patched. Nowadays if a player never changed those slots then they still have those clipped cosmetics equipped together.
I have a loadout on Pyro with Person in the Iron Mask, Pop-eyes, and Tower Pillar of hats. It's an ugly set, but to my knowledge I'm the only person that can/has all those specific items equipped. I don't know of anyone else that has something like this that survived the unequipping script kiddies, but if anyone else has a glitched/clipped set in 2021 I'd love to see it.
Yooo a new Casperr video! :D
I am genuinely shocked that I didn't know about a majority of these! The research your videos are always top notch
Thanks Mowse 🥰 your long time support is much appreciated!
For a period of time you could also edit the item schema to make a tool act like a crate key, meaning you could use $0.03 giftapults like a key. Around the EotL update several non-hat cosmetics were also dropping as unusuals (Coldfront Curbstompers and Hunter Heavy) so a few of those exist, as well as the Coffin Kit of course. I still adore the Balaclavas are Forever Cow Mangler and have seen one before in game and wish they were still paintable with team paints.
Felt as mysterious and enticing as an ARG. Excellent video :)
Thanks brother :) Your work on the thumbnail and associated chit chats were much appreciated
I own one of the rarest items in the game, a glitched level Unique grade Ambassador that I got as a reward drop during the first week of MvM. One of 45 glitched level Unique Ambys.
Man the look on people's faces as they take a few seconds to process they got a bat
One thing you could try to do to edit the item schema file: install TF2 on a removable drive, insert it on another computer and edit it from windows or linux. haven't tried it yet tho
Items bought from valve come bundled with a free upgrade to premium item at checkout, this could be it
For a neat example that not's directly relevant but this reminded me of, you also used to be able edit the item schema to remove the information about which body part cosmetics occupy, allowing any normally conflicting combination to be considered equippable at once. Pretty sure that's been removed for a long time now but 'twas a neat way to create truly unique loadouts for a while.
Once during a game I saw a top tier scout trader with a "strange normal peofesionnal killqtreak scattergun, spelles with exorcism". He also had a "vitage pro ks lugermporh" with the fire horns effect on it AS WELL as a strange monoculus. Not the binoculus, but the monoculus, the hat you get from an achievement. He had it in strange wtf
Monoculus strangifier exists. More special if it was tradeable.
wow! this preview is amazing! nice job
As a collector I'd give my soul for one of those Cow Manglers
I would and I don't even collect, I want a cyan laser gun
There's some weapons you can use the blank killsteak kit on that do show the sheen, even though they don't have a killsteak kit designed for them. The sapper is one and also the gunboats. I managed to get a blank killsteak kit and use it on my gunboats and was surprised to see that they actually show the sheen.
FINALLY been waiting for this for so long
you forgot the Upgrade to Premium Glitched item doesn't have the ''this is a limited use item. uses: 1'' So it's possible you could ''use'' it as many times as possible.
Abit of an obscure knowledge here but the main reason Normal quality bats came to existence was because a group of friends discovered that when you type BAT on the shuffle thingy in the Mann Co. Stockpile Crate a normal quality bat comes to the drop menu of that crate
When you purchase an item on a "free" account, then it says you get three things, the item you bought, the mann Co cap and a "upgrade to premium account" I think that the last item is a glitched version of that
Interesting theory! I'll have a look into it 🤔
I was wondering why I was finding killstreak buff banners or sandviches. It also explains the pricing on these items.
5:20 I think the gunboats also have a sheen on it
Dude I saw that you haven’t uploaded in awhile so I sub literally yesterday and now you upload lmao
You have the power
I saw a painted cow mangler in game last week, didn’t know they were possible
I bought the glitched killstreak kit the day it showed up on the marketplace and instantly applied it to my Strange Archimedes
As far as I am aware, it's the only one that exists in the world.
Instantly subbed, CZcams algorithm did good today.
I think whenever you get new weapon you never seen before - it should generate stock version of that item for you. To save backpack space for f2p's.
Also the glitched Unusual Extra layer misc for sniper exists, right now there should be two in existence. Also when it comes to painted cow manglers, im happy i had the luck to meet an owner of one ingame.
If I’m not wrong, there are normal laser bats (that lightsaber scout bat, that came out during Invasion update)
i think "upgrade to premium" might be a placeholder used when an f2p first purchases something from the mann co store. when i was buying Taunt: Rock Paper Scissors for my little sibling the other day so that we could play tf2 together, i noticed the checkout screen not only showing the aforementioned taunt, but also two other items: the mann co cap, and another thing saying "upgrade to premium"
I actually have the clean head taker. Got it from someone that was playing since the event wnd was leaving tf2 so they just let me have it in a trade server. Consider it my rarest item.
Someone should have used the Item Schema glitch to get the Top Notch
Yeah I tried to get some of the old achievement hats that I deleted a few years ago when I was younger and they told me they couldn't restore them
Blank KS kits can also be applied to some weapons that can't normally get kills to give them a sheen, such as the Gunboats
i think soundsmith applied one to his rocket jumper
Incredible video!
Good To Have You Back :)
a new tf2 facts video full of information I somehow never knew in 2021?
IMPOSSIBLE!
One of the weird things I saw kind of recently was a demo man who had a stock grenade launcher and stickybomb launcher that both counted kills and the name was still gray, it was even name tagged and the name was gray
I've seen a painted mangler, specialized killstreak cosmetics, and stock stranges all in game before
Someone own a botkiller rocket launcher without strange quality
Hey casperr just wanted to let you know keep making these awesome videos we all are with you hope you are having a good life
That's it have a great day 😉🙂
This is 100% my CZcams video of the year. SO SMOOTH
One of these days, I will pay someone several thousand dollars for a painted cow mangler.
Can't remember his name but I met one of the owners in a popular unusual trading server. It was the Balaclavas are Forever version. Maybe you can find him again sometime if you're actually willing lol
I've seen an old video of some guy in spy suit that has the enemies colors so that's cool
Dunno if it exactly counts as a glitch but I've got a Strange Specialized Killstreak Kukri whose texture never renders in the backpack, the loadout screen, or in the inspect menu.
You and Great Blue both uploaded TF2 Weapon videos at around the same time! (Probably just a coincidence)
Just coincidence 😸
@@Casperr That’s what I though, but still pretty neat!
I once saw a spy with the spycicle that when used applied the gold pan effect.
Similar to the bonk hat, the rocket jumper when given a glitched kit does show a sheen! I was lucky enough to obtain one and it’s one of my prized items I own
i once came across a strange professional killstreak Catastrophic Companions. sadly dont have the screenshot anymore though
I love the style of this video
"killstreak scrap metal"
the most least valued item possible
I currently own a loaner version of a sniper rifle back when you could loan skins for weapons, but I got it from my brother through trading and I named it "Loaner - This Item Cannot be Modified"
Loaner weapons cannot be traded, used in crafting, modified ( so naming and describing ), and a whole assortment of other things even though I got it through two of those "impossible" things
I remember the Cow Mangler thing and regret not painting mine while I had the chance, oh well
I was lucky back in the day to get for a cheap a Strange Unique Shovel. Got it Prof KS and made the name tag 3+ lines blank text and I've had it ever since and love this item.
The craftable and tradable Unique and Normal Black Rose - a promotional Spy's knife, that is a little expensive one.
I remember back in 2013 I had some how found a vintage Australim black box and I don’t know how to this day
You have heard of soundsmiths (or lazy purples idk i forgot) killstreak rocket jumper right?
4:37 Goddamnit I fell for it
