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 is awarded to players who bought and played Team Fortress 2 during the beta-testing phase.

Notes

  • This item is given out to users who first played Team Fortress 2 from 00:00 September 17, 2007 (UTC) to 23:59 October 09, 2007 (UTC), the period of the beta.
  • The Primeval warrior medal has two distinguishing factors when compared to the rest of the 119th update medals. The first and foremost is its unique two toned color scheme. This is the only medal out of the four which uses a different color choice for the background of the medal (black), instead of a solid gold, silver or bronze.
  • Secondly, unlike the other three medals, the Primeval version does not display or use the "1" "2" or "3" markings that can be seen and located towards the bottom front of the other three medal variants, displaying instead a "B", which stands for "Beta".
  • Originally, players who participated in the beta got the Grizzled veteran. The Primeval Warrior was added in a later patch, and the original medals of those eligible were changed to reflect this.
  • The date on Robin Walker's Primeval warrior is dated August 23, 1998. [1] This is the 2nd birthday of the original Team Fortress mod for Quake, and not Robin's hire date as previously speculated. The date is shown as 1 day prior to the correct birthday due to GMT to CDT conversion. Interestingly enough, while this is not Robin's date of hire at Valve, it is one day short of 2 years from it.
