Strange quality is an item quality available for weapons, cosmetics, and taunts. Methods of obtaining Strange items include:
- Unlocking a Mann Co. Supply Crate containing the item,
- Using a Strangifier or Strange Bacon Grease on a compatible item,
- Earning Botkiller or Australium weapons from Mann Up mode,
- Redeeming a Strange War Paint for a Decorated weapon,
- Acquiring preexisting items through trading or the Steam Community Market
Strange weapons track kills or other various events (see Unique Rank Methods below for exceptions), and records them as an item attribute, allowing the count to be viewable by other players and the owner. Cosmetic items with the Strange quality track the number of points scored while wearing the item. Strange items are awarded new ranks as their counters increase, with the rank affixed to the beginning of the item's name. Each time a Strange item reaches a new rank, the event is announced to all players on the server with a message in the chat box. A notification pop-up appears, accompanied by a sound, but only for the player the Strange item belongs to. A Strange item can have a maximum of 4,294,967,295 on the counter,[1] the unsigned 32-bit integer limit.
Decorated weapons with the Strange quality have a "Stat Clock" placed on the weapon that increments in real-time.
Strange Parts (a type of tool that can track additional variables) can be added to many Strange quality items. A maximum of three parts can be added to a given item. They do not contribute toward rank progress for the item.
The Strange Count Transfer Tool allows points, both for the main counter and any applied parts, to be transferred between two Strange items of the same type.
Strange Filters can also be used to further limit the statistics that are tracked by the item to certain community-made maps.
The hexadecimal color code for Strange items is #CF6A32, a tuscan orange.

Unique Rank Methods
Certain Strange items do not level up via tracked kills, and instead level based on other criteria:
| Unique Strange Rank Methods | |||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Class | Slot | Item | Rank Method | ||||||
| Secondary | 
|
|
Number of times ingested. | ||||||
| Bonk! Atomic Punch | Crit-a-Cola | ||||||||

| Secondary | 
|
|
Number of banners deployed. | ||||||

|
Number of times eaten. Will only increase if used to heal damage. | |||||||
| Sandvich | |||||||||

ÜberCharges on other players. (Kill assists are tracked as an automatically-added strange part but do not influence rank.) The Vaccinator's ÜberCharge number is divided by four, due to it having four ÜberCharges and only after a multiple of four ÜberCharges are used in a single life does it count as an ÜberCharge. (Essentially four Vaccinator ÜberCharges are equal to one Stock strange ÜberCharge.) | ||||||

Notes
- Kills are counted together for classes that share the same Strange weapon or cosmetic.
- Killing a teammate while friendly fire is enabled increases the kill total with a Strange weapon by one.
- It is not possible to reset a Strange item's point/kill counter without also resetting the counters for any Strange parts that may be applied to the item.
- Using a Name Tag changes the name of the Strange item, but the item still retains its rank and counters. The current rank is displayed under the name of the weapon in light grey text.
- The following actions do not increase the total kill count for Strange weapons:
- Killing yourself with a Strange weapon.
- Activating the cloak of a Spy who is using the Dead Ringer.
- Killing an enemy (via projectile reflections or environmental damage) with the compression blast.
- Killing bots, whether it be player bots, or Mann vs. Machine robots (there is a Strange Part for this however).
- Trading, selling a Strange item on the Steam Community Market, or using Gift Wrap on a Strange item causes its counter to reset to zero and its prefix to reset to Strange. Using Gift Wrap on a Strange item presents the player a warning to this effect.
- The item still tracks kills as normal after these actions.
- Taunts use generic rank names as opposed to cosmetic rank names.
- Points scored in Strange cosmetics only increase if there is at least two human players in the server.
- Therefore, objectives such as pushing the Payload or capturing the flag, do not count if there is just one human player on the server.
