Step 1: go to your Items tab on the main menu! Metal and tokens are able to be directly used for either the creation of cosmetics, weapons, or used as currency within the TF2 trading market. These weapons will add up over time and you will eventually begin to get duplicates! These duplicate items can be crafted into Scrap Metal or Class Tokens. Playtime in TF2 will grant you free Normal Quality weapons. The only thing you are spending is your time! This guide covers the very basics of crafting for metals, Reclaimed Metal as currency, and How to Craft Hats/Weapons! (It’s long I’m sorry, but if comes with tons of pretty pictures!).įirst thing’s first, why is it important to know how to craft in TF2? To put it simply, crafting can get you free cosmetics, weapons, and a couple other things within the game. I recommend anyone who plays a lot of TF2 get to understand the way to craft for metals, etc as it can save them money and help them get cool stuff! It is most importantly one of the easiest ways to make money from your playtime in TF2 (although, I recommend this to no one for a source of income). Crafting in TF2 is an important component for attaining cosmetics, weapons, and all other kinds of fun stuff. Scrap->Reclaimed->Refined Metal, all you need to know about Crafting!
