the robro is a lore reference, it was a robot in the comics that had drained the mercs blood, killing them. which still doesnt explain its rarity but ok
It isn't. The RoBro was designed as an entry to a 2012 community-made modding contest, the theme being "Retro-Futuristic". It won the contest, and eventually ended up in the game. The blood-draining robots you mention appear in Old Wounds, a comic released 3 years later, and look *nothing* like the RoBro.
the robots that appear in tf2 lore weren't shown until the Naked and the Dead, which came out in 2017, while the robro 3000 was added to the game in 2012. it's rarity is probably due to it being a unique "pet" item that hovers above the player's left shoulder.
Fun thing to mention, If you played around the time #6 crate was released, Valve actually gave active players a free key on christmas day to open the crate. You could also open any other normal crate with the key. It was the only time ever that Valve gave out a free key.
Honestly I wish they added a universal key as a very rare bonus drop in cases, not only would it be a decent tool for opening cases you just don’t have the key for it would also incentivize people to actually open and buy these old crates, but not at a rate that would cause their items to hyperdeflate in value. Items unboxed from the crates would have a star that would say “universal” to show that they were obtained from the key. The key could also be used as a form of high tier trading currency, but that would be an unintentional bonus.
To clarify the stuff at around 2:50: The "Exceedingly Rare Halloween-Themed Item" is, I believe, any Unusual hat (regardless of being from the crate) with a Halloween-exclusive event. For these crates, the effect could be any Unusual effect from the 2011 and 2012 Halloween events (just like any other Unusual unboxed during that event from any other crate).
Would be nice to bring back those cases, openable with a type of key I saw people talk about a lot, which would be a decently rare universal crate so that no cosmetics would be permanently lost
The weapons from those crates were also not even Strange quality. In the case of Festive Winter Crate #6, they were also the only way to get the new weapons at the time, unless you bought them from the Mann Co store. Yes, for a brief time in TF2's history, there were weapons with unique stats that could only be obtained by payment or trading. They later added them to the drop table and have never done that again.
The Haunted Halloween Crate allowed you to unbox Halloween themed unusuals which are: Knifestorm, Misty Skull, Harvest Moon, It's A Secret To Everybody and Stormy 13th Hour. These effects would not be applied to a Halloween restricted item but rather be put on the hats we are more familiar with.
Really neat video, thanks for the knowledge :) Sorry for the uninvited advice, but your video is a fair bit quieter than most other videos on youtube. You might wanna boost your mic gain :)
The spooky crates didn't drop unusuals but they did drop extremely rare strangifiers for things like the monoculus head and headless horseless headtaker
Hey man i appreciate your effort, these videos are very interesting and I'll definitely help out in the 10K sub goal hehehe. I would only recommend that you look for a better mic if possible, keep it up:)
tbh i like cosmetics and all but i wish valve would make a couple more crates to give strange variants to the weapons that still don’t have any (dragons fury for instance)
I was in the very wrong impresión that as long there was a key and a crate there was a chance of most cosmétics being able to be unbox Clearly i was heavily mistaken
I wish I could of opened those winter crates back in the day, I was a freshman in high school and my parents wouldnt buy steam cash to gamble it on crates lol
I understand that the box is can no longer be obtained, but I do not understand why they are closed. What is the purpose of this? Valve and their idiotic policy xD

This comment needs to be unpinned, nothing but false info
This should be treated as a pin of shame.
Literally lying, what? Pinned comment is nothing but lies.

i managed an entire tour just with gifted tour of duty tickets

It is a shame all these crates were locked with all those good and rare cosmetics if we look at the current state of the workshop.

Pretty interesting video, it's always surprising to see seemingly useless items get so expensive, just because they're rare
I got a logo siberian facehugger and logo skullcap, those were in one of those crates

I understand wanting some items to really feel special, but if its in any way better than stock, the game is immediately P2W.
This was honestly cool. You earned a sub!
Sucks I can't do unboxing anymore, but I've still got a few cases and crates just lying about
Love the Windows sound at the end wouldnt be a rangod vid without one

dam, almost 10k! yer rockin'! btw, can u talk about halloween spells? not that magic powers ones
For the spooky crates if you opened an unusual it would be one of the multiple different scream fortress 2013 effects on a random hat
the older cases look nicer than the new ones we get now, now they are all repainted
Really neat video, thanks for the knowledge :)

i find it funny how all Permanently Locked crates have the coolest designs

I’ve tried multiple times to find a better mic but both of the ones I got have terrible background noise
@@rangoated have you tried fixing your room's acoustics? If not you can also try the classic recording under a blanket lmao, it blocks the echo
love your videos dude very interisting
my man sounds like the automated voices scammers use for virus popups.
Another great video, I love thinking about these
That windows noise jump scared me
I remember my first crate was from the Halloween event in 2013, first hat unboxed was a haunted haunted hat
So that's why the mishap merc is skyrocketing in value.
Excellent dodge of the ass spray, my friend. Lol
They should decide a day or 2 of the year where we can open those. Like on tf2's birthday or something
no way its the guy from the class wars dustbowl server like a week ago
man i sold all my locked crates for like 2 keys a while back
even though theyre useless i miss them
tbh i like cosmetics and all but i wish valve would make a couple more crates to give strange variants to the weapons that still don’t have any (dragons fury for instance)
maybe the exceedingly rare halloween item is just a haunted item coming in strange haunted form?
i cant believe it's ben 10 years
I believe I have only seen one Haunted Unusual effect, a hat for the medic but effect & hat name I cannot remember.
hey, im still around before it was locked!
just found out I actually own the first crate featured in this video
what was the background music you used in the video? if it’s ok for me to ask.
ua-cam.com/video/M-BEWM6h0EY/v-deo.html
exceedingly rare halloween items are i BELIVE things like spells
That crate is just like ME
4:16 Nice
These Crates Need Re-Open it From By Valve.
Do you know how much money it would make for Valve if they let us open these legacy crates?
A lot.
I have some 2012 ones
Can you still acquire new versions of the permanently locked cosmetics in other ways?
Yeah most of these cosmetics can be unboxed from keyless crates, gotten as drops or crafted now so they are not particularly rare or anything
Under the words of Dipper Pines: “Wow, these are literally useless!”
Woah, this is...worthless
How about $5 for a one time bolt cutter for these.
This video made me realize something.
*_Locking crates is freakin' stupid._*
I was in the very wrong impresión that as long there was a key and a crate there was a chance of most cosmétics being able to be unbox
Clearly i was heavily mistaken
those cases are bout 700 bucks if you have 100 of them
I have 60 of them so far
And people think I'm crazy for calling TF2's monetization very predatory.
I wish I could of opened those winter crates back in the day, I was a freshman in high school and my parents wouldnt buy steam cash to gamble it on crates lol
Glad to see you back doing tf2 stuff and not as much Fortnite
I understand that the box is can no longer be obtained, but I do not understand why they are closed.
What is the purpose of this? Valve and their idiotic policy xD
I’m pretty sure it was like this because they were designed to be limited time items but they realized it was stupid and haven’t done it since 2014
i hope they let them become unboxable again
Why did they lock them though?
it would be nice if they unlocked these crates, i got could probably sell mine for squillions
ive never heard of a squillion before lol
This is so awesome
But why though? It would be nice to be able to unbox these especially if you wanna get specific items but this means it would be limited.
Yeah, if the crates were already limited why do they have to permanently lock?
it's sad cause so many of the hats are foid
are we gonna ignore the spray at 3:44
Why were they even locked?
interesting vid, nice job 👍
Yes.
why were they locked?
