A new update was released tonight for Team Fortress 2 that brings the game up to version 2939028. Among tonight's usual fixes and updates comes a new feature Valve calls "Collection Trade-Ups."
Well, that seems fairly simple to understand. You have about a week remaining to hop on board the Gun Mettle campaign before the campaign ends. Let's take a look at tonight's full changelog now.
Changelog for Team Fortress 2 update for August 27, 2015
If you've got ten campaign-exclusive items just sitting around, we've got good news for you. Now you can trade them in for a higher-tier item! Simply click on any Gun Mettle item in your inventory and choose "Mann Co. Trade-Up" from the drop-down menu to give it a shot!
We're also shipping the Gun Mettle Cosmetic case, an exclusive community cosmetic item collection now available as a weekly random drop for folks who own a Gun Mettle Campaign Coin. Just like the weapons, all of these 16 cosmetics have a chance to contain Strange capability, and the nine hats in the collection have a chance at being Unusual.
