Heartwarming.
The Spy

The Cheater's Lament is a headwear item for all classes. It appears as a glowing, golden halo attached to the wearer's head by two wires. It was awarded on September 2, 2009 to all players who had not used external idling programs and had played at least once since the introduction of the item drop system. As such, it is not obtainable through the regular item drop system, through crafting, or via trading.

During the Mann-Conomy Update, the hat was dropped a second time for players who did not receive it during the initial drop. This includes those who were excluded from the first drop for using external idle programs prior to September 2, 2009.

The hat description was written by AndyAML for the Hat Describing Contest.

  • Despite its name, VAC-banned players were still eligible to receive this hat.
