  • @remuvs
    @remuvs Рік тому +2

    My biggest tip for anyone getting into unusuals is to research, research, research, the effect. While it may look good in images and previews, it may look bad or be hard to see ingame like with Searing Plasma.
    It also pays to look for unusuals which have good looking hats and effects (both complimenting each other). Even if you get something like Scorching Flames, if it’s on something like the Bot Dogger it just looks awful despite the good effect.

    I found the Calamitous Cauldron to be one of those hats where you can get a unique effect for a reasonable price, and I don't see the hat really worn ever, so I guess it's just not popular? In any case, I like it and got one with Gravelly Ghoul on it.

      *I am super late to this but here's a few suggestions.*
      Any all-class hat of your preference (With whatever effect you can afford/that you think is the nicest.) Personally, I like the Well-Rounded Rifleman a lot.
      Hat With No Name is a pretty good-looking multi-class hat for Demoman, Soldier, Engineer, and Sniper
      Sophisticated Smoker is pretty good for a multi-class too, for Soldier, Demoman, Heavy, and Engineer
      *If you are looking for specific class hats only:*
      Soldier has a lot of great hats, so it's hard to choose. If anything, just avoid something like the War Pig if you specifically want to stand out and be unique.
      I quite like the Head Hedge as a cheap unusual, although it is pretty unpopular with most people I think. (It is also for Sniper as well)
      Demoman doesn't have a ton hats that I personally love, but my first unusual that I bought of the Steam Community Market was a Kill-a-Watt Voodoo Juju (Slight Return) that I used to use with a Toowoomba Tunic and the Bonedolier. I also had an Unusual Mega-Strike taunt Spent Well Spirits to match with it, lol.
      Scout has lots of good hats too, but I really like the Airdog. You can get a lot of really nice effects for pretty cheap, and it looks really clean (It looks a lot like a helmet that a fighter jet pilot would wear. I have it with Burning Flames, and I like to use it with the Airborne Attire and the Brooklyn Booties, makes it very military-esque.)
      I am also fond of the California Cap for Scout, very clean hat that I used to run with the Aloha Apparel and the Hot Heels
