    I remember, back in 2019, I first started this game.
    In 2021, I was told by a guy in a community server that if I deleted my Mercenary Badge he'd give me a really cool weapon as part of a video he was doing. I obliged, and he sent me a Gas Passer, at the time I thought it was such a good idea, and now I can't even hunt the user down because upon learning how bad the item was I used it to craft a pyro token and made the Rainblower lmao

      if you really insist on getting it back to some degree, purchase a steam account that was made like 5 years ago. perhaps you can check if the account had TF2 and the mercenary badge.

    The same thing happened to me. I also deleted my mercenary badge a long time ago. Yeah, it's a bummer, but there are alternative ways to know when you first booted up TF2. One way you could do it is to find your earliest achievement and go by that. For me, it was the achievement you get for completing the "tutorial," which I unlocked December 5th of 2014.

      Just a theory, but I heard somewhere that tf2 items have a "serial number" of sorts, down to the individual. That may be why it can't be recovered, as I'd think they wouldn't just have a bin of deleted items, especially one years old.

There was a tab you could open which showed the exact date and time you started playing Club Penguin, like with the Mercenary Badge. I took a few screenshots of my house and puffles before it shutdown but never got round to opening that tab.

I didn’t play for a while after that, and now I basically just play singleplayer with Bot Overhaul installed because even if they aren’t very nice at least they don’t hack in the casual lobby for fun.

    I started playing tf2 (On my own steam account) around 2010-11ish.
    I decided in about October of last year to get into trading as it was always something I wanted to do. I started with 1 refined metal working my way up. I had a decent little inventory before this but because almost every item I had I liked to using, I decided to start scrap banking instead of selling those items. I starting with 1 or 2 refined that I had in my backpack. I own several unusuals now and the main items I love to collect are spelled items since I had about 3 or 4 back in the day younger me traded off for practically nothing. I also deleted my Mercenary Badge as a F2P to make room for all those 'cool new item drops.' that and my Gibus, Seal mask, and ALMOST my Vintage Pyro goggles. I believe people who have deleted there badge are in the same group of people who have gone through a lobotomy, they seem to be missing something.

So i played both games (dont even remember which game gave you the knife) and when I logged back in I realized I had it. Idk how rare it is and its untradeable, but just the feeling of owning an item that is no longer obtainable or at least very hard to obtain through underhanded means is so cool to me. I dont even play Spy either. It's something, like my medal, that has been in my backpack since the beginning.

    For me, that badge would be my first (and only) australium - i got it on my very first MvM tour - it was a knife for Spy.
    i sold it on the steam market, and used the money to buy GTA5 which was on sale at that time.
    but about 2 years later i realized that i actually sold it for much less than it was worth, nowadays i'd either kept it, or sold it for keys. im still very pissed about it, and remember it everytime i play mvm
    i was a pretty new player back then, i didnt *really* know about trading yet, i just sold it on the steam market ...

    2:17 I also got a scam message exactly like that in 2019 on a horrible day. Lost over 180 dollars worth of items and steam support didn't give anything back to me even though they do it to others. I lost many valuable items like my first taunt, the square dance that I got from a giveaway from a twitch streamer who's a great friend of mine but the scammer did leave my unique quality weapons behind, that included my ham shank I got from that friend. I still have that ham and use it. Somehow the steam market trade hold saved two of my stranges, at the time knowing that I still had something was great because the day I lost all my items was and still is the worst and most stressful day of my life.
    Btw, I didn't delete any of my items like the badge, but the game deleted my achievement item force a nature for no reason and steam support didn't give it back even though it's a UNTRADABLE item that has no value :(
    I've tried to get my stolen items back but I've only been able to get one cosmetic back out of like 30. Most of them have been wiped off of backpack,tf so I can't even find their current owners.

    I did the exact same thing with it and my gibus. I wrote to steam one day many years later and they actually gave it to me saying that they dont usually do it but they were going to make an exception and felt special. Maybe it has to do with how much money you have spend or maybe the time playing the gsme (i started right after tf2 became f2p) or maybe just the person reading the steam support requests. I would say you should keep trying

    This is so relatable, I remember I deleted my mercenary badge cause at the time I was a F2P and I needed to make space in my inventory for some item drop. Even though I joined in late 2021 I still made so many memories with TF2 even till now, but I look back everyday and still regret deleting that thing

    i traded it from a person in a community server for not too much, but i just kinda remembered it and it feels nice having that item.
    i also have a sun-on-a-stick that some guy gave me trough a gift-a-pult a very long time ago, since then, every time i get a gift-a-pult on christmass, i immiedetely get sun-on-a-stick and send it to some random guy lol

That some TWERP CONNIVED AND CONNERER you into give him your items, so as to not lose your entire account in the process. Or at least I think that's what indeed happened, right.
