Although TF2 players were able to paint their hats for a long time now, it wasn’t until the Jungle Inferno update, that the war paints were introduced. With war paints, every player could give their favorite weapon a unique look.
Many war paints have very impressive visual effects and because of that, players are willing to pay huge amounts of money to get that war paint they want for their favorite gun. However, you can customize your gun with war paints without spending a fortune on the Steam marketplace. Here are some of the cheapest war paints you can get in TF2 today.
What Are War Paints?
Painting hats has been one of the signature elements of the TF2 economy. Most hats come in many different color variants, allowing players to modify their items and give them their own unique look. Some hats were more valuable with their painted version, as the players were able to customize their looks and make some hats really flashy.
The TF2 paints, however, were limited only to hats and sometimes other cosmetics, which also had different color variants available. It wasn’t until the Jungle Inferno update, released on October 20th, 2017. The Jungle Inferno update was huge, introducing 6 different maps to the game, 5 new weapons, 8 new taunts and almost 50 new cosmetics.
One of the major parts of this update was the new mechanic in the game known as war paints. While players were able to paint their cosmetics, with war paints everyone could now paint their guns. This feature works very much like the CS:GO skins, except players have more freedom in applying the war paints to their guns. Any war paint can be used on any weapon, which means that anyone who wants to experiment will find this mechanic right up their alley.
