That's how we do it in the bush!
The Sniper

The Primeval Warrior is a Miscellaneous medal awarded by Valve to the Team Fortress 2 community as part of their 119th Update Celebration. It is a platinum, rectangular medal worn on the player's chest with an emblem related to the class wearing it, similar to the Gentle Manne's Service Medal. The Primeval Warrior was awarded to players who played Team Fortress 2 for the first time during the pre-game release beta-testing phase.

The item description was written by NB820 for the Hat Describing Contest.
