What you can (and cannot) find in Keyless Cosmetic Crates

Despite expectations, not all cosmetics can be found in Keyless Crates!

Introduction

The Keyless Class Cosmetic Crate contains a random class-specific Cosmetic, which may be Strange or Unusual (if it's a hat). However, it has quickly become clear that they do not contain the full range of Cosmetics available for the class, so what determines if a Cosmetic will be in the Keyless Crates? I began investigating using my own data and then discovered that someone had done much of the work for me, thanks Reddit user TomatoFlakes! The answer is that 'community-created cosmetics that don't have a workshop submission page are not eligible to be unboxed from keyless crates'. There are of course some further criteria, so the rules seem to be:

• Must have an accepted Workshop page, or;
  
• Be a Valve-created, droppable cosmetic, and;
  
• Must not be a 'Limited' item, and;
  
• Must not be 'Retired', and;
  
• Must not have a 'Rarity' (i.e. anything from 'tiered' cases), and;
  
• Must not be a craft-only promotional item, and;
  
• Must not be contributed by the Weta Workshop (i.e. the Grordbort packs)

So, without further ado let's lay out exactly what you can and can't find in each crate. Note that while the 'What you can find' lists should be complete, the 'What you won't find' lists are not exhaustive. For example, I have not listed all the 'tiered' cosmetics and have omitted most of the achievement-only items. Basically, if you don't see the item you are interested in listed here it is almost certainly not in the Keyless Cosmetic Crates.

F.A.Q.

What Unusual effects can be unboxed?

Generation 1, 2, and 3 effects are being unboxed. Briefly:

1st Gen: Burning Flames, Scorching Flames, Sunbeams, Vivid Plasma, Searing Plasma, Purple Energy, Green Energy, Haunted Ghosts, Purple Confetti, Green Confetti, Circling Heart, Circling Peace, Circling TF Logo, Massed Flies

2nd Gen: Stormy Storm, Blizzardy Storm, Smoking, Steaming, Bubbling, Orbiting Fire, Orbiting Planets, Nuts n' Bolts

3rd Gen: Cloud 9, Disco Beat Down, Miami Nights, Kill-a-Watt, Terror-Watt, Dead Presidents, Aces High

I heard the 'hatless' hats can be unusual but the effect won't show up in-game, is that true?

It was, but it has been patched so that the effects now show up. There was a rumor that they are no longer unboxable too, but the rumor is false.

What hats can be Unusual that were not previously unboxable?

The Baseball Bill's Sports Shine, Texas Slim's Dome Shine, and Ritzy Rick's Hair Fixative. Also, the Stylish Degroot seems to fit all the criteria for being unboxable as an Unusual (it has the 'hat' equip region), but as yet none have been unboxed.

What is my chance of getting a Strange, Unusual, or Strange Unusual?

It's a little early to say for sure, but it seems to be similar to the probabilities found in cases. I.e. ~90% chance of Unique, ~10% chance of Strange, ~1% chance of Unusual, and <0.1% chance of Strange Unusual. Good luck!

The [insert hat name here] is not listed! What gives?

There are too many hats to list all of them, I only included hats that most people might think are in the crate. I excluded all hats from 'tiered' cases and all the achievement hats. At the end of the day if the hat's not listed it isn't in the crate.

Battery Canteens? What are they doing there‽

Well, they are cosmetic (albeit equipped in the action slot rather than misc slot). They also have an accepted workshop submission, so are eligible to be included under the above criteria. The 'strange' thing about them is that Strange versions do not count anything and strange parts can not be applied to them. This may or may not be fixed by Valve in the future.

The Human Cannonball can be Strange but doesn't count anything! What's going on?

All cosmetics except the Human Cannonball have a 'kill_eater_score_type' attribute which is set to 64 (which counts points). This should be an easy and very quick fix on Valves end, whether they also fix them retroactively remains to be seen.
