Here's some stats that were recorded by some community folks.

These stats are gathered out of ~2600 players and more than 37100 item drops.
Conclusion:
All non hat items have the same drop chance ~5.5%

Each individual hat has a 0.05% chance to drop.
All hats together have a (9 hats a 0.05% = ) 0.45% drop chance.
Means: Every 222th drop is a hat.

How often does a player recieve a drop?

It makes you think about the odds it requires to get 4 FaN's in a row without getting any other unlock...

Now i just have to wait until i get the hats. Although odds are i'll end up with 4/5 of the same one before i get something different and it will be next year before i have them all.

Got one kill, and suddenly my game lagged to shit, spammed the chat telling me I got all the milestones, and gave me duplicates of all the new unlocks.



I want the Spy hat. D:

No way the Spy hat is awesome. Suits him perfectly.

Now the Heavy hat on the other hand... The word 'looks awful' comes to mind. As does the phrase 'doesnt fit the character'. I wouldn't wear it even if I got it.

I had a dream that the heavy had an ushanka instead of the lame football helmet.

They can in the killcam.

Even if you re-disguise the instant your knife lands, they'll still see you as a Spy in the killcam, as far as I know.

The hat strikes fear in their hearts. I want them to see the fedora before it plunges into their spine

you need more sleep tbh.  first, that valve sentence slip up, and now a fedora plunging into hearts?  fedoras wouldn't do much damage plunging into spines

You could always just not disguise and always attack from the front.

The ambassador does kinda encourage that Spy playstyle after all...

I'd say pretty much anything plunging into a heart would do damage.

edit: whoops i said hearts instead of spines
