Weekly challenge #2 Valve shoves "Strangifiers" down our throats

Welcome one and all to another day of uncrating! 



Ah yes, can you feel it?
October is just around the corner folks, and that means spooky scary hats and miscs. that we can wear for a WHOLE ENTIRE MONTH!!

However, something that has caught the eye of the tf2 community is a new crate that has came out called the "Limited Late Summer Crate Series #86" Which is interesting because:
1. This crate came out about a week before the yearly Halloween update and
2. This crate enables you to unbox Strange Cosmetics
That's right, no "Strangifiers" you can just unbox them with the chance of one of them being strange. Remember the Bread Boxes, and how there was a small chance of getting a strange bread weapon? It's essentially the same thing, but what really baffles me is the inclusion of Strange cosmetics in the first place. That and Collector's items. Why do they exist? I dunno, but because of these new items you start to get really long and ridiculous names on items :

Just rolls right off your tongue.
But that's not necessarily what I want to talk about today.

We've been waiting for the event all week haven't we folks? I know I was, (I sorta forgot about it for awhile due to social life and just general i've been playing tf2 a tad less lately)

LET'S GET OUR UNBOXING SPIRIT ON!!!

Today's crate is...
#85 of the Munition Series

Now I know I said last time I had nothing but killstreak crates, (Which are Series 83 & 84) but the other Munition crates had some interesting items in it, particularly the Strangifiers as I mentioned earlier. #82 was a stinker when it came to the Strangifiers (I mean it was cool finally getting a Strange Pretty Boy's Pocket Pistol, but the Cleaner's Carbine? That weapon seriously needs a change in stats.) But #85 introduced Strangifiers to some of the new Love &War weapons, as well as two new strange parts, and two new cosmetic Strangifiers.

Crate #85's contents:

  • Air Strike Strangifier: 3.55
  • Classic Strangifier: 4.11
  • Manmelter Strangifier: 1.55
  • Vaccinator Strangifier: 6.00
  • Strange Part: Robot Scouts Destroyed: 0.66
  • Strange Part: Taunting Players Killed: 1.00
  • Strange Part: Buildings Destroyed: 4.00
  • Anger Strangifier: ~3 keys
  • Appariton's Aspect Strangifier: ~1 key
  • Widowmaker Strangifier: Oddly enough, I couldn't find a price for this one, but i'll just go by it's new Strange price 7.00-1 key
  Hawt Daem! This is one hell of a crate. Now it's certainly not the best crate, but introduced some neat new stranges, and the cosmetic Strangifiers are actually cool and worth something. However, it's interesting to note, that, the Widowmaker can be obtainable via Salvage Crate #40, which is quite frankly the worst salvage crate you can uncrate, and now it's even worst.
 Let's open that sucker up!

Uncrating your loot in 5,4,3,2,1...

My new items is...

This thing.
 This really wasn't what I was expecting to be honest, and simply put I don't have a Classic. (REALLY wanted that Anger Strangifier!) Since this isn't something i'm too thrilled about, I'll be raffling this off on the Raffle group, so stay tuned for that. As I said before, this isn't anything i'm too thrilled about, but at least I didn't get the Robot Scouts Destroyed part.




Eh, whatever. Until next time, happy uncrating!
