Unusual items are typically cosmetics (with the occasional Self-Made weapon) that have a particle effect applied to them. There are many different kinds of unusual effects that have a 1 in 100 chance of being obtained when opening a cosmetic crate.
Unusual effects are also dependent on the season the crate is opened in, primarily for holidays such as Halloween and Winter. If there is no Holiday active, you can receive any Unusual from the standard pool instead.
Unusual-quality cosmetics can be sold for 1010 Funds while Strange Unusual variants are sold for
1060 Funds.
Unusuals are always distinguished with a purple name tag in the player's inventory. The hexadecimal color code for Unusual item name tags is #8650AC.
