Free hats for tf2?

[[drunk] 2021 Giant Stance]

What are some ways to get free hats that STILL work?

I know there is a knife that you could get from playing a game but it was reported that it doesn't work anymore.

I got the hat from alien swarm.

Trying to get the hat from super monday night combat. It was said to give you a hat at level 5 and at lvl 20 but the level 5 hat I did not get for some reason.

Please don't mention the free in game hats as those are obvious as how to get them for the most part

Spiral Knights has the Spiral Sallet(Play through a single arcade mission).

There is a hat for Crimecraft Gangwars

Theres a weird glitch where you won't get the achievement hats until you level up again, so you'll get them at level 6 and 21 for some reason. I guess they never fixed that.

Study this very carefully:

It says which game and how to get it (if its still even possible).

I got past level 6 and I never got the first hat. I wonder if it still works.

And I'm finding it hard to get level 20/21 because your level resets each round

When the game wants you to to get to level 5 it means your overall level outside of a match not your level during a match. They're two different things.

Does wear hat add bonus to my class?

Im trying to get the alien swarm hat, does it still work??? or did they stop that??/

Top of my head, these games give hats through achievements.
-Spiral Knights.
-Alien Swarm.
-Crimecraft
-Super Monday Night Combat (This one grants you two hats, but it takes some time to get the second)

theres a list of promos on the main valve forums, typicall like bioshock infinite when pre orders reached a certain point to unlock lvl 3 u got a taunt and so forth.

it works but its not worth your time, just getting the alien swarm parasite for example, its worth what 2 rec?

Also, you need to level up and play a match after levelling up (A bot practice match would suffice)

There's many f2p's that give free hats. Like Spiral Knights, Alien Swarm, Crimecraft, Super MNC and Alliance of Valliant Arms which gives a knife. There's also achievements items like the gibus and the pyrovision googles. There's prof specs if one of your friends buy tf2 and sends it to you. There is 2 replay items, a director vision taunt and a frontline field recorder.

[Woobie :3]

Two in-game hats you can get are the Full Head of Steam (Imagine a top hat with a trin whistle coming otu the side) and the Gentle Munnitone of Leisure (Imagine a top hat witha smoking rocket through it).
You get them from getting 7 achievements on Foundry and Doomsday, respectively.

Ah thank you. I understand now. I'm about level 6. I'll see if I have the sniper cowboy hat.

Not at all. hats are useless. Other than the strange hats, they also do pretty much nothing.

I myself don't care about hats at all. If I get one free from tf2 as a drop, cool. Getting these free ones that I can't trade seems a bit cooler than the ones you can trade. Not sure why.

Yep. I just did it yesterday. It's pretty easy too.

I don't think it's tradeable. I want it for my collection. I don't plan to trade it.
