I was a crate hog who had to sacrifice my winter 2022 case collection for my gibus and other important stuff.

[@anopirsten7565]

Not the winter 2022 case collection!!! That's worth at least 10 cents!

I did it bc headtaker looks like shit and i dont even like demoknight.

[@kaiserjohnny4098]

The idea of making special hats earned through achievements non delete able and not take up space would fix the loss of those special items

[@keyztroke]

Yeah, like a separate page labeled "ACHIEVEMENT ITEMS".

[@hatti...]

That, or valve should add the "lost and found" item from the workshop that returns deleted achievement items

[@VeetiM]

Would be nice if you could earn inventory space by playing the game Like an achievement if you earn 50 weapons it'll give you another page

[@The24thWight]

You can usually get a bag extension during christmas events. And maybe Halloween.

[@ItzWolfy247]

like "milestone achievement's" for all class achievement's

[@blitzworldace]

@@ItzWolfy247 Would make sense

[@kevinduckworth3097]

They should also give back free chat and call vote If i get a coin for every time I see a cheater but can't kick him or tell people about it i would be a millionaire by now

[@sevendeadlysquids404]

Me: that’s a good idea Valve: Hello! I like money.

[@MouthMuffler]

I scrapped my gibus but luckily a few years down the line I had the idea to contact support and they actually restored it for me

[@TruEchoX]

I was lucky enough to have that happened too, they also restored my haunted scrap and necrosmasher without me needing to ask. They just offered xD

[@ilhix]

Steam support told me they dont help with deleted items damn (Please note that Steam Support is unable to assist you with restoring deleted items. Deleting an item is a two-step process with a confirmation dialogue box before the item is deleted. Be sure that you only delete items you are certain you will never want in the future.)

[@greensharktwod]

@@ilhixthey stopped giving back in items in 2016 or so

[@seaman_de_man]

Yep I did this too

[@technorunner1]

Achievement items shouldn't count for inventory space. There should be an extra space for every achievement item in the game, including the ones you can't get anymore.

[@meeble2999]

They have the groundwork for it, Stock items are stored on their own page

[@youtubeuniversity3638]

​@@meeble2999Store the Achievement Items there!

[@highspeedtarantado]

agree, i wish achievement earned items were stored the same from the stock

[@erochicken]

If they wait a year the smissmiss update is guaranteed to have a backpack expander

[@engifromtf2]

I started a month after that happened. So, i have yet to earn one. _i had to delete some things_

[@michaeladames4932]

Each and every inventory should have at the very least, enough backpack space to have one of each weapon, + 3 extra backpacks, for plenty of room for cosmetics and utility items like spell magazines or contrackers.

[@HumanPerson_final]

Right? Why are we "punished" for having weapons? I can understand cosmetics and extra items, but I don't see why a F2P or paid player has to sacrifice so many slots just because there are a dozens types of wrenches or rocket launchers.

[@Hickory_Dickory_Cock]

RIP Gibus and Pyro vision goggles 😔

[@nathanvig4401]

I know this idea I have probably isn't in Value's best interest, but I think Players starting out should have enough space to have 1 of every weapon they can get (Not including promotional items) and maybe 1 extra page as well for when Halloween or Christmas comes around for some more stuff

[@samharris6867]

A really simple way to fix the problem is to give f2ps the ability to craft backpack expanders. It should cost a good deal to not undermine the value of buying them, but being able to carry more items without having to spend a dollar would be very valuable

[@youtubeuniversity3638]

Maybe 9 Refined or somesuch for it?

[@ex-caliburn-real]

Give them the bare minimum for all achievement items and unlockables

[@derpynoob740]

I deleted my haunted scrap, and my mercenary badge

[@The24thWight]

Honestly. Why don't crates and cases stack? It would be far less annoying if they did. And Honestly achievement items shouldn't count toward spaces lost.

[@weepingdiscord6969]

One word: money

[@youtubeuniversity3638]

​@@weepingdiscord6969Can we get a second word please?

[@slyllamademon2652]

Make a separate page for achievement items.

[@youtubeuniversity3638]

Make achievement items functionally Alternate Stocks.

[@gabrielreyes9648]

YES PLEASE I NEED MORE SPACE FOR MY BACKPACK FOR FUCK$ SAKE

[@Mountain_Chicken1]

I think the real problem is that there is even a limit to what you can hold. They should just remove it or increase it by a lot so unless you are buying 10k jerate you shouldn't runout of space

[@whiteindark3236]

New idea, you can retrieve items that you're deleted in the past if you send a report to steam about "accidentally" delete the item with a reason of still new to the game when you delete the items

[@HellishSpoon]

The biggest achievement items i lost are ones that are cross promotional and directors taunt, i use to hunt achievement for hats it still hurts alot and wonder why i did that.

[@DamiaBerry]

I don't even remember how but I pretty much had the upgrade to premium the moment I got TF2 so I never knew this was actually something people have to do deal with until I played on an alt account

[@theghosttm8245]

I would've loved for a second page of stuff. I ended up Deleting my Gibus and Haunted Scrap Metal because of it.

[@jolan5797]

there is 0 reasson why f2p should have limited backpack space

[@KnightOfBred]

Everyone has limited space until they buy or get from a Christmas drop a backpack expander

[@retrobat1631]

I miss my haunted scrap metal and gibus.

[@animatorskiold]

I only deleted my mercenary badge back when I was a F2P, but that doesn't change the fact that it still sucks I deleted mine. Maybe I'm gonna try to contact support some day but I heard they don't give your deleted items back anymore.

[@xenoblade1068]

As someone who has access to the larger inventory and voice chat in game because I bought stuff. I think forcing free to play players to be mute and restricted to such a small inventory is dumb and makes the game in general worse. Because now some of your teammates can't make call outs, and some may even have to focus on only playing one character because they only have the space for loadouts for one or two characters.

[@lepsonical4763]

I just think a simple ui change is needed to make them aware of achievement items being unsalvagable after deletion through a pop up when they try getting rid of them

[@crunchyblend8809]

Yes because people can lose a lot of achievement items because they deleted it for backpack space when they were new.

[@potatolad7202]

Never again will I see MY Pyrovision goggles grace my backpack, and if I want to fill the hole, l’ll have to buy them from others.. I was such a fool back then.

[@Naxaky]

I think all pages and slots should be free from the start I miss you haunted scrap metal...

[@HerraHissi]

Achievement items should act like stock items and take no backpack space at all.

[@alexsimon8355]

Man the game should not even have backpack space limit

[@chaim7games365]

you could possibly have achievement items and specialty badges in their own special backpack place like where the default weapons are.

[@Luciditation]

I don’t even remember getting my ghastly gibus

[@gang26xd]

Man i remember when i just played the game with no space left idk why my deadass thought deleting the only brick can could frickin made the Headless Horseman axe would be a good idea 💀

[@nitrous1001]

I had deleted my Ghastly Gibus and Haunted Metal Scrap before because I was F2P. I asked Steam Support for it back and they did honor my request. However I got the Ghastlier Gibus instead of the Ghastly Gibus.

[@ToxxicBurst476]

I was 12 when I crafted my HHHHeadtaker into scrap metal, not because I didn't have the inventory space... but because it didn't seem all that special to me; i preferred the funny Nessie's Nine Iron golf club. I regret it to this day and pray one day I stumble upon a dupe glitch or a new way to gift players achievement items so I can gift myself the Haunted Scrap Metal from a second account

[@Wrekihn]

Its sad that when i was an f2p i was ran out of storage so i deleted my Ghostly Gibus and other achievement items 😢

[@CatBoyGaming23]

As a former f2p I regret deleting my monoculus hat to make room for other garbage hats

[@deny_all_spades]

There is Smissmass and gives you a backpack expander, once a year...

[@TheGuber]

i deleted my mercenary badge for the damn panic attack

[@mustra678]

[@AlarmingBoot205]

I saw an UNUSUAL HEADLESS HORSELESS HORSEMAN HAT in my delete history WHAT WAS I THINKING

[@ShieldRetro]

i deleted my gibus, pyrovision goggles, AND my mercenary badge for space when i was younger. luckily i have an alt that ive owned for longer than my current account so theyre on there with a way earlier date to them which is cool i guess

[@andyhoang9639]

tfw community: value I thing this change should happen Valve: nah here’s a cosmetic and warpaint crate

[@ihavethebrainofarat2309]

Yes, I scrapped my Haunted Metal Scrap and my spellbook pages when I was F2P and I regret scrapping the scrap because I adore the horseless headless horsemann's headtaker, one of my favorite reskins and I wish I didn't scrap mine

[@AstrokiffWasHere]

As a F2P player, we need to get more backpack space

[@PAT.OS96]

I deleted my ghastly gibus like a decade ago.. I miss it every day now.

[@noko3777]

I am still so mad about this because not only did i delete that strange scrap you need for the headless horseless horsemann's headtaker but also a bunch of achievement hats and it makes my blood boil to this day

[@memesmemes3143]

I HAD TO DELETE MY GIBUS AND PYROVISION to make backpack space for more weapons , sad 😭, I was new , I didn't know that gibus is UNIQUE to you and the one which you get can NEVER be gained again after deletion !! 😢

I WANT MY PYROVISION GOOGLES BACK, PLEASE, I MADE A MISTAKE

[@Lehey_creator]

I don’t now how, but I got 5 backpacks on 2021 Swissmas for free.

I didn't delete mine, I put my spiral sallet, the youtube achievement hat and an elite grade that I actually unboxed myself into a god damn Halloween trade up

[@gibusgabe]

I started playing tf2 not too long ago. Im not deleting my achievement items when i have like 27 winter 2023 cosmetic crates

[@iamzipie]

I deleted the achievement taunt before I saw a video telling me to not to delete the items This video brings back the pain

i did the most heinous crime of tf2, i deleted my mercenary badge because i was new to the game D:

[@bghost8437]

Making players pay to extend the inventory is wild

[@tahmiduddin1868]

I’m lucky that smissmas stocking gave me like 100 more spaces

[@mutanttepig4759]

Honestly I do. I deleted my cloak and dagger(or scrapped it) and I completely regret doing that. I completely stopped playing spy because I scrapped it.

[@oskargrankall4551]

When I first started I did get rid of most of my achievements items.. sad days

was gifted a backpack expander in a hacking server on my alt, its now my main

i deleted my eyelander and pretty boys pocket pistol and even more items until i got a inventory gift during smissmass

[@megazuckytu7855]

My gibus is long gone and the only reason i have the HHH is because I asked for the haunted metal scrap back and they gave it back to me but i dont think they'll give me back my gibus

I accidentally threw away my empty spellbook because there wasn't enough space so 100% they should (or atleast make them craftable)

I sacrificed my merc badge for bag space back then, regret that

[@robbyraystewart6978]

I deleted my Gibus, Pyrovision, Ellis’ hat, Frying pan and Mercenary badge.

[@zottekott]

This Christmas every player who logged in around that time (even f2p i know cause i am one) got a sock and a present and those contained a lot of weapons and paints but als 100 FREE EXTRA BACKPACN SLOTS my backpack was just full and then i saw i still hadn't opened those and now i have got 1.5 pages spare

[@Bsaber1011MythicalDuck]

Add infinite backpack space for all

[@Kumar09BC]

Is there a reason why the maximum backpack space (currently at 3,000) cannot be expanded out more? Because at this point in the game's lifespan, the default starting space of f2p should increase by 100 spaces so that they have the incentive to play the game more & get all the items they want + start their "metal savings" so they have a little something they can trade with! BTW this it totally not a call on Valve to expand the Backpack space even more towards a reasonable number, like 4,000 spaces for example. NOPE no siree!!

[@WitherDJ]

Lost my seal mask back in the day...

[@moldypastaman]

I deleted my pyrovision goggles and mercenary badge when i was a f2p and i greatly regret it

[@sczttvfx]

I deleted my Ghastly gibbus back in the day, but not due to item space, simply because I declared it was a f2p noob item and didnt want it... baaaad decision lmao

[@itsmeazzy4488]

I.. I was one of those who deleted the gibus. I have now regretted everything

[@GoofyGaming333]

This is why I can’t get my spell book back

[@chris2857j]

They are just waiting for you to get premium so you can get more space basically 5$ for backpack space and other features seems like a easy way to make money😒valve should do something or fix things

[@syouji185]

A better solution is to just warn that you wont be able to obtain the item anymore

[@NELUTZZZ]

Or just make a setting to see every duplicate you have so it's easier to delete stuff you have 2 sets of

[@Henry_manly]

There is a bug for space, but i'm not sure if it deletes items randomely.

[@lucazeroblueversion9346]

I mean xmas gives you a backpack expander

[@connor42071]

I mean it only costs a few dollars to upgrade your account I think if you're playing TF2 so much that you run out of backpack space that's not a crazy ask of someone
