Strange quality is an item quality found on weapons obtained from unlocking Mann Co. Supply Crates of certain series, or receiving a normal or gold botkiller weapon from Mann Up mode. Introduced in the Über Update on June 23, 2011 Patch, Strange weapons track kills and record them as an item attribute, allowing the count to be viewed by players. The weapon is then awarded a rank as the recorded count increases, with the rank affixed to the beginning of the item's name. Some Strange weapons track another action instead of kills, such as kill assists (see Notes below for exceptions). Additionally, some weapons have a second count to track other associated actions, such as Sentry Gun kills; however, the secondary count does not contribute toward rank progress. Each time the player achieves a new rank, it is announced to all players on the server with a message in the chat box; A notification pop-up also appears only for the player the weapon belongs to.
The Spirit Of Giving is an all-class miscellaneous item with the Strange quality, introduced during the Australian Christmas 2011 event. It tracks and ranks up based on gifts given with the Secret Saxton and Pile o' Gifts items. Uniquely, it has its own list of ranks, with lower thresholds between them. In its initial state, it does not display the Strange prefix, but does retain the text coloring. All players were awarded the Spirit Of Giving along with a Secret Saxton to all premium players at the time of the update. The update also introduced Festive weapons: reskins of a number of Stock weapons, braided with flickering Christmas lights. Festive weapons could be obtained in either Strange or Unique quality.
Strange Parts are tools that can be used to track an additional variable on Strange weapons. A maximum of three parts can be added.
The hexadecimal color code for Strange items is #CF6A32.

Notes
- The Southern Hospitality only tracks standard melee kills.
- The Eyelander levels up only on kills, rather than total heads collected. Therefore killing someone with heads, such as another Demoman with the Eyelander (and all variants) or a Sniper with the Bazaar Bargain will only yield one kill.
- The following actions do not increase the total kill count for strange weapons:
- Any action involving bots (including Mann vs. Machine bots).
- Killing an enemy with a compression blast.
- Killing an enemy with a taunt. The Fencing, Skewer, Decapitation and Organ Grinder taunts are exceptions to this.
- Kills are counted together for classes that share the same Strange weapon.
