Strange
Introduced in the Über Update, Strange quality items can be found by unboxing Mann Co. Supply Crates of a certain series. Various actions (kills notably) that are made with a Strange quality weapon are recorded as an item attribute. Some Strange items track ubers, kill assists, Sentry kills and sodden victims. Prefixes are changed automatically by the game based on the weapon's rank. Strange items do not rank up against bots.
The hexadecimal color code for Strange items is #CD9B1D.
Ranks
All Strange weapons start with an initial prefix of Strange, however this is not a rank itself. Trading a Strange weapon will cause its counter to reset to zero and its prefix to reset to Strange.

Notes
- Disabling pop-up notifications under 'Advanced Options' will keep the strange rank notifications from appearing, beware however that the trade, duel, and item drop notifications will also no longer appear.
- Killing a teammate while friendly fire is enabled will increase your kill total with that weapon by one, as though it were a normal kill.
- Activating the Cloak of a Spy who is using the Dead Ringer will not increase your total kill count with that weapon.
- Killing bots will not increase your total kill count.
- Killing yourself with a Strange Boston Basher or Gloves of Running Urgently will not increase your total kill count with that weapon.
- Killing an enemy with a compression from the Strange Flamethrower or Backburner will not increase your kill count.
Bugs
- Strange weapons traded through Steam Trading will retain their kill counts instead of resetting back to zero.
