| |
| − | | |
| − | : The same thing happened to me. TWICE. I suddenly found a strange weapon I'd never seen before in my backpack, complete with drop notification. And no, I did not trade for them and then mysteriously got amnesia. (I'm not really interested in stranges and if I uncrate one I usually sell it off unless it's a Medic or Pyro weapon. And I rarely if ever bother to open crates unless they're holiday crates. In fact, the number of stranges I got from crates I opened is five, and I can tell you exactly what they were: shovel, homewrecker, medigun, spycicle, stickybomb launcher.) I found the first one, a Strange Scotsman's Skullcutter, on Day 2 of my first tentative venturing out into public online servers, back during the Scream Fortress 2012 event. (Up to then I had only played in offline training modus.) Being a newbie and not knowing about the TF2 Wiki or trading sites then, I didn't know what the hell a strange was and traded it away for some unique weapons or a handful of voodoo-cursed items or something. So unfortunately I cannot show the Skullcutter as proof, and being a newbie I didn't make a screenshot of the find because I didn't know that what had happend should be impossible. :( The 2nd one was a Strange Neon Annihilator, also in 2012; that too I sold off because I already had a unique N.A. (dammit), but I think I got it either during Halloween or Smissmass. Perhaps that's a pattern? Might the Haunted Halloween Gifts that spawned on Ghostfort have anything to do with it? Because I managed to locate and grab a lot of those. Again, baseless speculation, sorry. But those two weapons, I sure as heck don't know where else they could have come from. --[[User:Knusperfrosch|Knusperfrosch]] 05:45, 9 March 2013 (PST)

| − | Holiday punch's leveling up system is same as normal weapons (it's just different name). And the buff banner also follows the generic leveling up system. Hope this solved your answer. [[User:Drsteiner12|Drsteiner12]] 00:28, 15 January 2013 (PST)

| − | == Strange Crates Pattern ==
| |
| − | I have noticed, that the crates sometimes bring the stranges from the past again, for example, the scattergun, the rocket launcher, and the medigun. While there are many more weapons that haven't been dropped in strange quality, some are coming back. Is there a certain pattern how the strange weapons in crates are decided? [[User:Drsteiner12|Drsteiner12]] 02:27, 13 January 2013 (PST)

| |
| − | : Mainly because, Stranges only rank based on one "Primary" way of ranking up. Robots destroyed do not count as a method to rank up. Strange parts are really just added counters. Similar to how the medigun tracks assists but only levels by ubers. [[User:Ashes|Ashes]] 07:42, 24 March 2013 (PDT)

| − | :: However, the Strange part robots destroyed appears to have a counter of its own, as shown by [[Template:Strange Weapon Ranks Table|this template]]. I would like some evidence before removing it, though. Can you link a screenshot of your Flamethrower? [[User:'Stache|'Stache]] 08:07, 24 March 2013 (PDT)

| − | It used to tell you the different rank levels of both normal Stranges and others that had custom ranks, such as the Holiday Punch and Sapper. Why is it now only showing the basic, default table for these?

There were also issues with what the table was linking to in places.

Do strange items like this not go up when the server is empty?
