The Proof of Purchase Hat is a special headwear item for all classes. The Proof of Purchase Hat is only available to those who purchased Team Fortress 2 before the Uber Update on June 23, 2011.[1]
It appears as an olive green Template:W with slight battle damage and a crosshair-emblem of a slightly darker shade emblazoned on the side. A narrow belt with a gold buckle extends around the back.
Trivia
- The Proof of Purchase will also be awarded to players who were gifted the game through Steam.
- The Proof of Purchase appeared in Meet the Medic, worn by a BLU Soldier, prior to the Uber Update's release.
- The Brodie Helmet was also referred to as the Tin Helmet or Doughboy helmet. Less affectionately, it was called a Shrapnel Helmet for its tendency to break when hit by a bullet.
- The hat itself is from the TF2 Beta that was leaked in 2003 with Half-Life 2's beta. It was worn by the Commando class, what seemed to be the Soldier class at the time. The charater design can be found in the artwork section of the TF2 official website in the concept art section. There is also video of the beta in action that was the code pieced together by Team GabeN.
