With this update, Valve is turning TF2 into something like Diablo. There're item sets now. Gather all the items in a set to get an added bonus.
For example, gather all the items for the Tank Buster set (The Black Box, The Batallion's Backup and The Grenadier's Softcap) and you'll get a resistance to damage caused by sentries by 20%.
If the items seems familiar well, it should. They were the result of the contest that was made at Polycount, a 3D modelling community. The contest was held from 24th May to 28th June and the winners were announced on 12th July early this year.
Like all things TF2, some of the items here are outrageous and funny. Imagine being hit by the Holy Mackeral (Scout Baseball Bat replacement which is a mackeral wrapped in a newspaper). Personally, the Spy's new hat, the Familiar Fez, cracks me up.
It amazes me every time I see things like this. It just goes to show how close to their community Valve is... unlike lets say, Ubisoft.
