Which unusual?

Recommended Posts

I am thinking of getting a high tier unusual but am stuck between 2 choices:

  1. Anti freeze el jefe - 135 keys

  2. Chiroptera Venetata Glasgow's Great Helm - 130 keys

What do u think? Which is better? I luv both scout and demoman (demoknight alike)...

P.S While u guys are at it, can u check whether both unusuals are clean?

I would say the Glasgow Helm. Since it's a retired Halloween effect, the price will keep going up and it shouldn't be too difficult to sell since it is a popular effect. They are both clean.(it says on the links you provided)

el jefe

are you wanting to know which in our opinions looks better? cuz anti-freeze hands down looks 1000 times better in game. both are rare. orbiting fire (no matter the color) with a bat added in is just cheap looking imo

There's a lot of different aspects you need to keep in mind if deciding between these two:

 

1. Are you buying to keep or to resell? If planning on reselling, the Jefe would be much easier to sell than the Glasgow because the hat itself looks nicer. If buying to keep, the Glasgow with the halloween effect looks nice.

2. The Glasgow's highest buy order, which is 20 keys above other buyers, is literally made by the seller of the same hat.

3. The Jefe looks nicer but has a less desirable effect, while the Glasgow looks worse but has a more desirable effect.

 

So basically: if I were planning on reselling I'd go with the Jefe, but if I were planning on keeping I'd probably go for the Glasgow.

The el jefe because bat effects may glitch sometimes (similar to orbiting fire, overclocked, aces high, etc...) 

Only if you adjust them.

If you're just buying to keep so that you have an amazing flashy unusual, you should keep this in mind:

Don't prioritize effect and don't forget about the hat and the class!

You should FIRST identify your absolute favorite class or 2 favorite classes, like really think about it, don't just say "well I can get this hat for this class soooo this is my favorite now omg! :D", because you'll regret your purchase if you end up not liking the class after all. Then, using loadout.tf or your current favorite loadouts, decide what hats you really truly love even without having unusual effects. THEN you decide what hat to get based on those hats. The last thing you want to do is go "omg that effect easy choice!" and buy some shitty robo hat that you'll stop liking a week later and have a hard time selling for even a heavily discounted price. You should prioritize getting a hat you love for a class you love over just getting something to show off and look flashy.

 

For the Anti-Freeze El Jefe, Anti-Freeze is an amazingly noticeable effect that looks pretty damn flashy. Everyone's always saying "Halloween's going up, only Halloween is worth buying at high end", but if you actually watch and listen, Anti-Freeze and Roboactive are going up a lot too. Both hats will eventually have higher values than they do now, no doubt about it. On top of that, the Elf Jefe is just a much higher tier hat than the Glasgow.

 

For the Chiroptera Venetata Glasgow, it's worth noting that the bat effects aren't just "orbiting fire with a bat", they leave a VERY noticable trail as you move just like Burning/Scorching. It's also a 2013 Halloween effect, meaning it's pretty much always going to be going up in price every year unless the economy crashes or another Scream Fortress allows you to open old effects.

 

Also, to check if a hat is clean or not, just hover over the hat and click "history" and look for blue ID's with copy-looking-symbols next to them, those signify it's duped.

 

My personal vote is for the El Jefe, I think the effect is just miles better even if it isn't a Halloween effect.
