Nuts n Bolts is the worst?

[John]

Hi! I want to buy an Unusual Detective Noir and the cheapest effects are Nuts n Bolts. What do you think about it? Is it cool or not?

Generally speaking, the Nuts and Bolts is generally considered among the worst Unusual effects out there. Some of them go for under 1 ref if the seller just wants it off their hands. However, Sunbeams effects are most treasured.

Its Okay. I owned one, it does not look as bad as they say. Even tough you are better off with something like aces High/Dead Presidents. Not that im stopping you, just a friendly recommendation :).

General Rule of Thumb for Unusuals:

Cancer/Bad Unusuals= Wow, you are bad man.
God Tier/Good Tier Unusuals= zomg you spend all money on game, stoopid fak.

True, just get a moderate Unusual like a Steaming or a Bubbles one.

nuts doesn't look actively bad like flies, but it's barely noticeable. No point getting an unusual if you can;t see it.

Do you like nuts, because thats how you get nuts and boltz.
Dont the effect.
The egible nuts.

Forget about what "people" (i.e. traders) think, because in their flawed opinion, Burning Flames (an effect that becomes completely invisible when ignited by an enemy Pyro) is the highest tier Unusual effect.

All that matters is what you think since you're the one who will be wearing it. So if you like Nuts n' Bolts, then get it. Otherwise, save up and get an effect that you enjoy more.

Personally, my favorite effect is Orbiting Planets, which is considered low tier by traders, but damned if I care since all it means to me is that I can get hats with my favorite effect attached for cheaper/more affordable prices.

Okay, dunno who told you that, but they're terrible misinformed. Even the most ugly Unusual hats with the lowest tier effects are going to run you at least 8 Keys.
Not even regular hats go for as low as 1 Ref, unless they're uncraftable.

Don't listen to the folks who made up a effect tier. Each effect is really nice! If you wanna do the Nuts N Bolts go ahead. As you work your way up, look for Orbiting Planets or Terror Wats on the unusuals

yes

No, sausage = worst.

i am one of those guys who say screw it with what the effects value is aslong as i like the effect example here is that i like smokeing as it looks like darkness/shadows etc so i decided that i wanted unusual with that effect.
