Is Buying 1 Key Worth It and What Can You Do With 1 Key?

[᠌ ᠌ ᠌᠌ ᠌ ᠌ ᠌ ᠌]

Im deciding to get a refund for a DLC that I don't really like and it costed me £1.60 meaning if I refund it I will get £1.60 back meaning I can buy a Key for TF2. Is this worth it and what can you really do with it? I have never owned a Key for TF2 before so this stuff is new to me.

The best thing you can do with a TF2 key (especially if you're new) is wait a week, and sell it for ~16 Refined metal.

You can then trade this for Hats or stranges you want in the game.

I recommend using backpack.tf or Outpost for prices.

I suggest only buying a key in TF2 if u are planning to get invested in the game.

When you buy a key in TF2, you can sell it for 16 refined metal (this is the current price, and is subject to change sooner or later). With the 16 ref you earned, you can trade with players for various cosmetics (each cosmetic is priced averagely around 1.66 ref).

You can also unbox a crate, however, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU DO NOT DO THIS, as what you unbox has a 99.99% chance of being less value than the key.

Edit: Also, what Blackjack said ^. Most traders in TF2 use the prices in backpack.tf.

Okay, thanks. Im just new to this and I keep on hearing things about keys. Is there anything you can get that would be worth alot like a really good item for one Key, may I ask?

Do a price search at http://backpack.tf/
Edit: You can buy most strange weapons for less than a key, you can buy plenty of low-end stranges for a key.

There is quite a number of items you can get with a key, to be honest. Do a google search like let's say "Tf2 pyro cosmetics" or "Tf2 soldier cosmetics" and see which cosmetics you would like. If you plan on tracking your kills, you can get "Strange" weapons, which count your kills.

Not enough time to actually earn the achievements though?

Yeah. Im really into Pyro and it's my favorite class, I suppose I should just keep it in my inventory when i get it and just be patient. I don't want to spend it on something that I don't like and I know what you mean by opening crates, you can get most of the items that you find by opening a crate with the key and get even more better items than using that one Key on a crate, you can just buy them with the 16 Ref.
