I have a plan

[Hazza]

So, as the title says, I have a plan. To be honest, it's more a goal, but oh well. I've dubbed it "The Radically Ranged Rainbow Rucksack" project.(thanks to TheTruth for the new name idea) Basically, it's just trying to make my Backpack more colourful and/or valuable by buying many item qualities, such as Genuine, Vintage etc. So here's the plan:

 

EDIT: I'll be updating this as I go along.

 

Scout:                                                           Total Cost: 5 keys 38 ref 9 scrap

Festive Scattergun

Genuine Flying Guillotine (Done)

Vintage Sandman (Done)

 

Soldier:

Festive Rocket Launcher (Done)

Vintage Gunboats (Done)

Strange Escape Plan

 

Pyro:

Strange Degreaser

Festive Flare Gun (Done)

Strange Powerjack

 

Demo:

Strange Loch-N-Load

Festive Charge N' Targe (Done)

Vintage Caber

 

Heavy:

Festive Minigun 

Festive Sandvich (Done)

Vintage Killing Gloves Of Boxing

 

Engineer:

Genuine Widowmaker

Festive Wrangler (Done)

Vintage Gunslinger

 

Medic:

Festive Crusader's Crossbow (Done)

Vintage Kritzkrieg

Festive Ubersaw (Done)

 

Sniper:

Genuine AWPer HAnd

Festive Jarate (Done)

Strange Bushwacka

 

Spy:

Genuine Diamondback

Festive Sapper (Done)

Black Rose

Vintage Dead Ringer (Done)

 

So what do you guys think? It's the first major idea I've had to do with my backpack, and it's not particularly expensive.

Instead of a Black Rose, why not a Botkiller Knife.

Call it the "Radically Ranged Rainbow Rucksack"

 

*rucksack = type of backpack 

 

Throw in some cheap specialised killstreak stuff, a cheap collector's, a low-tier unusual for your fav class, why not?

This is actually a good idea ^.^

[Scott Bakula]

I've done the same, where I try to have my items in qualities that aren't the standard unique.

 

In any case though, I do feel that the first goal of a backpack shouldn't be value, but just trying to get one of each weapon, not counting reskins. That way, a player is able to frequently able to tweak and experiment to find loadouts that work well for them or can adapt to situations on the fly.

Simply because of this, I am going to try to collect a Strange of every weapon possible (Including reskins).
And Hats?

Nah, I'll save hats for after I get all the weps.

 

Edit: I might as well count all Aussies and Botkillers. And Festives.

I can't stand the look of Botkillers, whicever variant it is. They're just so ugly. On the other hand, the Black Rose is simply beautiful.

Thanks for the name suggestion, I'll change it after this reply . Also, you mention Collector's, I was thinking of a Collector's Loch-N-Load, but I decided there was no point in wasting an extra 2.5 keys (roughly) for a quality slightly better than Strange. Besides, I like the feeling of ranking up with Stranges.

Thanks man, appreciate it. I've had a loose idea of this brewing in my mind for a while, and when I started obtaining the Festives I decided to actually start it. Again, thanks

I agree with you, however, I'm one of those people who does stick to one or two loadouts and stay with them for ages. For example, my main Demo loadout is listed there (but unique at the moment), but I also have the Loose Cannon, Tide Turner, Claidheamh Mòr and the Sticky Jumper for when I decide to go Demoknight or mess around.

Well damn... I'm really annoyed at the moment.

So, 2 minutes ago, I added £30 to my Steam Wallet, and was ready to buy all the items here (that I don't already have).

I go to buy a Festive Scattergun, and on clicking Purchase, I'm met with this lovely message:

 

You've recently funded your Steam Wallet using an unverified credit card that has had a recent increase in use. You can attempt to verify the funds now or wait until the restriction is automatically removed.

 

Now, this makes sense, as I remove my credit card info immediately after I add funds, a habit, mainly because I don't want people buying stuff on my account (yeah, I'm way too cautious).

So sadly, this project will be held off until the 31st.

Goddamnit Steam.

You could just verify the funds, it takes about a minute or two at best.

 

All it does is put a minor hold on your credit card and ask for the amount that it charged the account, which you find by looking up your bank statement.

Just tried it, and the two amounts weren't there. So naturally, I clicked the "I have a problem", "The two amounts are not showing up", and it told me to call the bank. Called 'em, didn't answer, so I read the rest of the 'solution', which is basically, "Oh, that didn't work? Well then fuck you, we can't be bothered to help".

inb4 accidentally sells an item cause he needs pure to buy another one

[Scootaloo]

Haunted Bat outta Hell? Ugly or not, it adds another color. Also, spring for a collectors item. Even just 1. Can't have your "rainbow" without a bit of red.
