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.

This hat 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. 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.

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

Trivia

  • When players viewed their backpacks after receiving the Cheater's Lament on September 2, 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.
  • Despite its name, VAC-banned players were still eligible to receive this hat.
  • Some accounts are yet to receive their Cheater's Lament from the Mann-Conomy update. It is unknown if they'll ever get dispatched to the players who accidentally didn't receive one.
