IS Orbiting fire a good unusual effect?
So I am getting an 100$ steam card, and I am planning on getting an unusual hat. So should I get Orbitting fire? or find a different one?



Also, don't judge me on what I buy.

It's noticable and cute, I don't have an issue with it IMO...

Its subjective...but i personally dislike it. Cheapest effect id go for is circling tf logo, or Miami lights.

not a fan
there's better for similar prices
should pick out a hat/class first and plan from there

I don't find it to be as noticeable as other effects. Which hat do you plan to buy? Knowing this would help determine a good effect to get.

It's nice.
But really buggy.
Btw buy a lot of keys and trade for the unusual you WANT. Don't buy off the community market for unusual hats.

It's better than Burning Flames. :mean_creep:

With $100 you could probably get something better.

With that much money you can pretty much get a hat with any effect on it except for nebula and death by disco.

some hats end up on the market for cheap
with keys you're paying a premium on every single one

It's rare, but I have stumbled across market unusuals at significantly less cost then what it would cost for the same unusual with keys.

Although, there is no way to easily tell if the hat on the market is duped if that bothers you. Since you cannot click on the profile of the person selling the hat. So if there's a ♥♥♥♥ ton of of that hat/effect out there trying to track the perosn down who actually owns the hat might not be possible.

I can back this statement up

I got a harvest moon pugilists protector for $36 usd a couple years ago
Use the money to instead buy keys off marketplace.tf at $1.7 each and trade those 20+ keys for unusual(s) (plural). dont waste your money man.

Tbh, I think Burning Flames is one of the more overwhelming effects.

I understand that the point of an unusual is to stand out, but when your head is in a perpetual state of fire, then it starts to get a bit much.

It's really underwhelming for being an expensive effect, everything about it is just sorta basic looking. :nonplussed_creep:

Not that good. Imo for these money you'd better get something with Tesla coil or disco beat down. Not so expensive effects but really nice looking
