ye im kinda pissed i thought you could put it on your existing weapon but it just makes it into a new non strange weapon. Pretty dumb tbh and am sad

Wait what, so your telling me that I can't apply them to my weps and have to create them?

ye pretty much, stupid af

Wtf is this, We should email valve ...

no they need to focus on BIG things that matter for gameplay not aesthetic stuff like skins

I think at the very least you should be able to paint over non-killstreak non-strange unique weapons, just to save on backpack space, because I doubt the majority would want to keep their non-skinned unique fish when you can have the ultimate bonkfish in your scout melee slot.

Of course, make it an option, so people can use the non-skinned-now-useless items in crafting.

was lucky enough to get an unusual warpaint but once applied it doesnt show up as an unusual gun (has the effect though)

I just sold my original weapon, in this case my australium and bought the new one. The tool to transfer kills from stranges was like ¢80 on the community market. I'm kinda mad I didn't keep my strange parts but I didn't pay for them anyway. I know that this might not help everyone but was able to sell my australium for a Strange MW Star Crossed paint and a Pro Killstreak Kit

I feel like they punished people who got professional killstreak kits early before skins came out, I'd love to replace mine with painted variants but it would be too expensive

yes let us apply expensive war paints to our prof ks strange weapons and instantly get rich and fuck the economy over entirely

But the war paint would be more valuable when it isn't applied to anything.

Ok I have a question, which isn't very related but I don't want to make a new thread, can you use the civilian grade stat clock on the new civilian grade paints or does it have to be strange to start with?

I feel like it will work the same, I saw someone complaining about civilian stat clocks on Twitter so I think that means that they were using one lol

I have a feeling they will change this to include existing weapons. At least I hope so.

I thought that was the whole point of war paints. Apply to weapons you have instead of replacing them with skins.

I actually can't believe it, you cant put war paint on already existing items, smh

Edit: I looked up how the strange transfer tool worked, nvm

War paints would've definitely sold a lot more if you could actually use them on existing weapons. They shot themselves in the foot by being greedy.
