I forget how well made this was done...amazing job to all the modelers, textures, and promo people!

why?

so gaudy

fortnite cosmetic in tf2 :(

wow that’s a lot of hate. it’s a shiny top hat dude it’s not that deep

It doesn't belong in the game. TF2 doesn't use such reflective materials for fabrics. Having Badlands Bandido is bad enough.

this looks so incredibly bad. to me. i see alotta positive comments, but i do not think making this paintable will make it good.

I see there's a lot of mixed opinions about it, but I do really think making it paintable will make it better!

I am assuming people's concern for making it paintable has to do with a general community distaste for unfiltered Bitter Taste of Defeat and Lime, Abundance of Tinge, and A Distinctive Lack of Hue.

The way I see it, making a hat paintable only makes it better.
- It gives you more customization (and thus player identity)
- It becomes more versatile to use with other cosmetics
- It allows people that don't like the base color a chance to like and use it themselves
- People that like the base color can just leave the hat unpainted

If the bright colors are a problem, you can build the textures to filter colors to not be as bright. There's a number of cosmetics that do this, like the Polar Pullover, Coldfront Curbstompers, Forest Footwear, Trash Toter, just to name a few.

Give it a shot!

Again honestly just keep it like this, its already so perfect and a great hat

yeah personally Im not sure about paint, I cant really think of any way to make it look nice. if it was the whole thing it would be too much, but if it was only partial, not many colours would look good with it anyway

why so? i reckon it would increase its versatility greatly

I really think thats a bad idea this looks amazing as is

even if it was just the collar it would help a ton :)
best case scenario is full paint but idk how doable that would be

Hm we didnt think of that, might look into that later

if only it was paintable

i LOVE when hats do this! the stars look so pretty :)
one gripe: no paints? :(

Very nice

twisted topper

Feels like a really nice elite grade, good work!
