The '''Primeval Warrior''' is a miscellaneous item awarded by Valve to the Team Fortress 2 community as part of their 119th Update Celebration. It appears as a platinum, rectangular medal worn on the class's chest, not unlike the [[Gentle manne's service medal]]. The Primeval warrior medal is awarded to players who bought and played Team Fortress 2 during the beta-testing phase.
