Guide to making fancy renamed items
By Biscuit
Now I'm probably guessing that most of you are rather confused with the meaning of "fancy renamed items"
well in terms of the person the meaning differs, for me a fancy renamed item is professional. Uses the weapons looks, feel and fits the characters background in some strange way...Confused yet?
Well let me take you down the street of renames shall we...

The tool
For those that are un-sure with how to rename at all I will explain on how to get there.

This here is your mystical tool which is called
"The Name-Tag"
This tool is used to rename items to whatever your hearts desire, to do so you will need to purchase, trade or find the tool. To purchase it can be found in the Community Market or the Mann.Co Store found ingame.

Once collected you will have to click on the tool in you Backpack and press the "Use with..." button, the backpack should then show the weapons/items that can be renamed. Go ahead and choose which one you wish to, once done a box should appear. This is where you finally decide on what it shall be named. Be careful though once you have confirmed the name the Name-Tag will be removed from your Backpack.
Over-Used Popular Renames
In the world of TF2 renames differ for each person. The quite popular ones are "xXMLGxQUIKSC0PERZXx" or the overused "[put name here]'s weapon"
(One of the ones I hate the most...).
Through each weapon there is common ones, for example Mad Milk will be renamed something related to c.u.m and the AWPer Hand will be renamed to something Call of Duty related. #GunisNotFromCoD

Anyways point being that these renames have become so common that it is easy to find these un-creative creations of the player. Not that they aren't funny but sometimes after a while the weapon gathers dust in the back of your Backpack. And some try to sell it with a terrible rename, which honestly...Not a lot of people want to have.

Anyways enough about terrible name choices, time to start creating your own professional standard rename.
(And yes, that "Strange Festive COD Modern Warfish" was me being funny and creative")
P.S. ...I'm sorry ;n;
Deciding upon the rename
When I am deciding on a rename I normally think of the class it is used for. For an example we will choose the Force-Of-Nature,
firstly think of the class's background...Runner, cocky, arrogant, fastest class, etc. Then I think of the weapon and what makes it unique...In this instance; double-barreled, push-back. We take those and we formulate a unique name.
Here are some examples:
  • The Swift-Breeze
  • The Double-Barreled Menace
  • The Gust'o'Wind
You get the point, seems a little better than "♥♥♥♥♥ Wrecker" yes? Well that is for you to decide as I know some of you would prefer a weapon that makes people cringe than a one that makes people nod and say "Dayuuuuuum son"

If you have any problems with renaming, I am always open to helping you so feel free to ask.
Although this guide is short but what'd you expect on a guide for renames...Not really much to talk about, trust me...Thank you for reading, have a good day.
