Hello again fellow TF2 enthusiasts. Welcome to another edition of The Drop Reset Report. In this volume we will take a look at some new promo items and some items that should be gone, but due to the determination of hardcore collectors, still exist.
HITMAN WITH YOUR BEST SHOT
Contract Killing Time!
Anyone who enjoys the Hitman series and enjoys Genuine TF2 items is going to love this. A set of six Genuine TF2 items will be granted to anyone who pre-orders Hitman: Absolution™ on Steam. Along with the five hats/misc items, the Quäckenbirdt is a re-skin of the Spy’s default Invisibility Watch. As seems to be the pattern whenever a re-skin is introduced, this has spurred quite a few complaints on the TF2 forum about re-skins as opposed to new weapons with unique stats.
COCKFIGHTER
A Genuine Cockfighter will be awarded to players who pre-order Scribblenauts Unlimited on Steam. This all-class hat is about as ridiculous as it sounds and features two styles, Max and Lilly, to match two different characters in the game.
RARE TOOLS
TF2 collectors figured out quite a while ago that if you don’t log into TF2, items that were supposed to disappear would not. Collectors created TF2 accounts that they never log into, solely to keep these items. Until the 2012 Spectral Halloween Special these items were only crates and keys. During this year’s Halloween event, the footprints emerged as the rarest of the twenty-six spells. The spells were well liked, so people used them—rendering them even rarer. At the time of this writing, all seven of the footprints spells are in the top ten rarest tools in the game, with less than 570 of each remaining.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK
How much does item quality matter to you? Do you shoot for the rarer Genuine and Vintage items even though they are no different than Unique items? Are you a fan of Strange quality items since you actually get specific stats out of them?
This is Digi signing off. Keep on grabbing those items and I’ll see you next week right here on The Drop Reset Report.
