What is the "Mystery Item"

[NARbluebear]

I have randomly gotten one of these, but I do not know how to use it. There are no wiki entries, no discussions about it (except this now), etc. so I have no way to know what it is or its use. By the way, I got it with 4 new emotes and a new bg ( are emotes).

It says it might be useful in a future sale. Other than that no idea.

It says it might be usefull in a future sale, and I personally think it will be the summer sale. It says it is consumable, so you probably use it to get a different item. I think it will be a coupon for either a game of your choice or a game on your wishlist (maybe a random wishlist game). I could be very wrong though.

Interesting... I wonder how to use it, though.

It is very mysterious

It's a box. Clearly Solid Snake is hiding in it. Shoot it now!

Lol, no. I highly doubt it.

I really don't think it is a coupon. That would be pretty lame if all this mysterious buildup turned out to be just a 10 percent off discount lol

While the mystery item idea is interesting I can't imagine being impressed with the contents. Just keep my/your expectations low.

Valve officials confirmed that this so called "Mystery Item" has got smth to do with a new release in the counterstrike genre!

This. People love to pass the blame when it comes to hyping things up, but it's usually their own fault for buying into the hype in the first place. Temper your expectations. If it's lame, then you're not let down. If it's awesome, then you're pleasantly surprised.

Really? Tell me it's a discount on a game, I'll say maybe... a free game, rewarded on a free event... no way

This ^^

Best way to (best case) get a good surprise or (worst case) get what U expected.

But honnestly... a reward of a free event... Dont expect better than a wallpaper/emoticon

World of Warcraft had a programmer that created a fishing questline with clues about a legendary weapon that could only be fished up in a pvp zone, Alterac Valley. Because of the location of his parking spot in the company, and/or no one respected the Questing Team, "No. You are not fishing on MY map, when MY people are fighting. GTFU!" And, it still sits at the bottom of that lake today. Up by the Alliance side. Old men in suits pondering for years, "BRING ME THE ASH-THINGER!"

So, hope they don't forget to make the item active. Again.

History repeating itself.

I could see it as a raffle ticket for a chance to buy the $50 early access special package for Valve's next game.
