I THINK 3, but some people have been getting them out of order.

I believe that would be through just the random finds; that's how I got my Direct Hit before my Equalizer.

Y'know what's funny? Not having a single demo/soldier item despite playing a lot. I mean, a lot. Meanwhile, JoeAverage111 gets four hats and all the items. That reminds me, I don't have any random hats either, and I have way over 200 hours total playtime since the hat update.

I am not very happy with this current state of affairs right now.

If you don't get any random drops, you could try to do the achievements.

I've been doing them, and I got the equalizer at first that way. But then!
After I died, I noticed "This is fair, I got another equalizer immediately after I'll do nothing with it anymore. Damn you, randomness!" So I deleted it. But apparently it wasn't a duplicate.

 Or in my case, the first demo milestone and the second soldier milestone never got me items.

...I don't think you can blame the game for that.

Yes and if you delete duplicates after the crafting update then you can't complain about not having hats.

Congrats. I got mine a while ago.

As it is, about every 4 hours or gameplay you have around a 3% chance of getting a hat. That's just an approximate, since I'm too lazy to get the actual numbers. Hats rolls also have nothing to do with regular rolls, so one shouldn't affect the other.

So basically, if you ignore that each hat roll is unrelated to the next, valve is telling you should get a hat for every 5 days of gameplay.

What are your times as Spy, V your times as second most class?

3 most played:
Spah: 15 hours, 14 mins
Soldier: 3 hours, 12 mins
Medic: 2 hours, 30 mins


Although I'm pretty sure this information is wrong, because I've spent way more than 18 minutes playing as pyro, and more than 2 hours as scout.
Mine's much worse:

Spy: 32 hours
Engineer: 3 hours
demoman is rapidly rising though.

Most of my gametime isn't actually mine (multiple users), but I do know for a fact that I have around 20 hours on my favorite class soldier.

 The only hats I ever got are demomans fro and pyros beanie. Both of which happened during the super items drop rate of the event.

 Demo: 26
 Engineer:22
 Soldier: 21
 ...
 Scout:12
 Heavy:9
 Medic:7

 I've filled the first page of the old inventory before to the point where I had no more slots, so I deleted many repeat items so any new items would not be blocked. Then they expanded the inventory and added crafting.

Same.

But on the plus side, I got my first random "hat" today: the Spy's Camera Beard...which is no longer a hat. But whatever.
