How do I use Steam Workshop items?
Hi, how do I use Steam Workshop items? I would like to use an item for Heavy in TF2. But I don't know what to do. Please help, thank you.

I would like to use Steam Workshop items created by other users. I don't know how to put it in my backpack.

You don't download workshop items. The workshop is for members to submit their items to hopefully be added to the game.

Unless the creator has put out a mod for the item, you'll need to wait for Valve to accept the item in to the game. :balloonicorn:

You cannot do that on tf2. Only valve can implement workshop items in the game. Only other way to do this is by going to a mod website for reskins etc.

Well, how do you get those items that are accepted to be in game?

Use the Mann Co store. I've got a guide which might help you. :balloonicorn:

In theory, you can favorite them and thumbs-up them, but in practice... well, Valve is taking some heat for being slow to incorporate even highly popular workshop items.

Part of the problem (maybe most?) is that they've been working on a new item importer system, and this -currently- does not support weapons -- just hats, miscs... The recent update w/ the Robo-Crate items was partly a test of this system. Hopefully when they add support for importing weapons they'll be more active about picking high-quality workshop items.

If the creator adds a download of the item he/she made, you can download it and place it over the skin/model of the weapon you're replacing.

But these are just reskins, and don't really affect gameplay in any way, they're just nice to have.

I can't seem to be able to subscribe to any tf2 workshop stuff. Why is that and how can it be fixed?

How does this crap work? I've seen a bunch of videos that say you can just click and subscribe it, but I don't see that myself. What do I need to install or whatever to use them?

NECROMANCER.
Unless the submitter has links to a mod, you can't use the model.

Workshop has 2 ways of working
1: where you can subscribe to an item and it'll be in your game
2: the workshop item must be accepted by the game creator so it will automatically be in the game for everyone to obtain

TF2's workshop works the 2nd way
