Gang Hat

[{PK} Unfair]

Does anyone have a use for the Hatter Gang Hat? I spent hours messing around trying to find a function for it to no avail. Bothers me since I would expect it to trigger a side-quest (or disguise you at least), and it's the only thing in the game I haven't fully explored.

I heard that there is a Granny Rags recipe in the same level, so maybe it's for that? Don't ask me where the recipe is I don't have a clue where it it. Don't tell me where it is if you do know I wan't to find it on my own.

It's not for the granny rags recipe

[BeeryGeek]

Darn! No clue then what the hats for.

[Throne]

[Petite Fleur Sasha]

That hat bothers me too :(

Easier Egg Maybe?

I'm sure it's for the granny mission. Can't find the first objective though :s

[BeeryGeek]

Nope not for the Granny Rags recipe as Kieran already said. -_-

Just typing out "It's not for the granny rags recipe" isn't very assuring.

I don't have a clue what it is for. Also it is always good to get rid of what we know is false, so we can concentrate on other angles and ideas. I only can think that it is either 1 a glitch or 2 something for the next DLC. I am only guessing that because it would be weird if you had to start over on your powers and gear again. This only a theory by the way.

I can guarantee it is not for either of the granny rags recipes - I've done both and they require completely different items.

When I took the hat I got the mission update that I have to search the Hatter Gang territory for the key to the legal district.

Ah okay, so it must just be another way of telling you where to get the key, if you discover the hat first. I feel better about that now.

[Wobb the Great and Terrible!!!!!]

But there is a note near the hat, thats tells you that the hatter gang member stole the key.
If you get the notes in the right order (I didn't, but I did find them all), they go from a note saying "cap has the key, upstairs" (paraphrasing), then you go upstairs and find the note saying "hatter gang broke in last night, they took the key", and then you go to hatter territory and find the key.
I didn't get the update to go to hatter territory until I found the note saying they stole the key from cap.

P.S., I am desperate to know what this hat is for, if anything, and how to use it.
I just spent ages trawling through the level to find a use, and nothing.

I get the feeling it may have been intended for you to use the hat to disguise yourself as a Hatter, letting you search their area without retaliation, but simply got cut as a feature, so the hat ends up doing nothing at all
