The Lo-Fi Longwave is a headwear item for all classes. It is an off-white hardhat with a miniature radio tower mounted on top and the KritzKast logo printed on the front.
The hat is awarded to players in Vintage quality for being in the KritzKast Steam Group prior to the June 12th podcast and for getting at least four out of five questions correct on the KritzKast quiz. Players who do not complete the quiz on their first try are given another try 24 hours later, and again after that. Those who haven't joined the KritzKast group get a message from Saxton Hale, saying they are "manly enough NOT to receive" the hat.
