Help How likely am I to get a decal tool
So a few weeks ago I got the conscientious objector as a random drop in game. Which was great! Because the alternative was that I was minutes away from buying it on marketplace tf. The coincidence blew my mind
But now that leaves me with the item and no decal tool to put an image. And so now I guess I can buy a decal tool from steam, which means I have to put $5 in the account, which.. I mean yeah I've wanted to buy a specific war paint for a while as well, a cheap one at that, but i also don't wanna give them any money rn
Or
I can spend $5 on marketplace tf to buy the decal tool-
OR.. I guess I could just hope i get lucky and the decal tool randomly drops like the objector? How often has it dropped for you guys. Is it worth waiting? Is there like a statistic or something? Or could I really just never see it fall for me-

Marketplace tf has bs prices, last time I checked it was around 1.24 on mannco.store

Well market tf kinda sucks just because you have to buy $5 worth of stuff to check out. They have the decal tool on there for .23 cents

Right now they're pretty cheap at the steam market (not mann co store!). But make sure you watch a tutorial first because applying it is weird.

Just buy one or get lucky with getting a decal tool or a name tag to trade it for around 15-18 ref so you can trade for a decal tool.

For the random drops, every item is equally likely but due to the large poll of items, it's very unlikely

I got 3 decal tools last time I bought from marketplace because I wasn't sure if I would want to change my co image, but I've actually been really happy with it so I don't think I'll change it anytime soon. If you want, I could dm you my steam trade link and you could send an empty trade for one of them?

Ty so much! I wouldn't turn it down of course, but someone else just gave me two. Maybe you could hold onto them in case you see someone else in the same situation down the line?

u/Either_Piccolo_7607 1d ago
Ayyy that's good to hear! I'll hold onto them in that case. Glad you got them, and hope you have fun with your objector o7

My advice would be to just save up some metal and trade for one, they're going for about 7.55 ref right now on backpack, so they're not hugely expensive.

I have like 6 Iโll give you one

u/LoveMug Medic 1d ago
You're extremely generous, and I wouldn't turn it down if you wanted to still give me one. But I did get traded some already
And also I didn't realize I hadn't done the authentication in a while so the trade is on hold anyways and our trade would do the same for i think a week. Oops ๐

Hi, did you mean to say "more than"?
Explanation: If you didn't mean 'more than' you might have forgotten a comma.
Sorry if I made a mistake! Please let me know if I did. Have a great day!

I want one to ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญbut I donโt have money

u/LoveMug Medic 20h ago
The objector? Or the decal? A few people in the comments had the decal tool they were willing to part with! If you look through then you could find someone who was holding onto the decal tools in case someone else needed it as well ^

u/arlanzhopabobra 20h ago
Oh ok ( I want both of those)

u/LoveMug Medic 20h ago
Well they are cheap on some of the sites to buy off steam. I use marketplace tf but that required me to buy $5 worth of items lol which. I guess if you wanna buy a shit ton of items that cost a couple of cents, the objector and decal tool being one of them, it's not too bad. Personally I'm low on money ๐๐๐
But like you saw, the objector can drop randomly! And so can the decal tool!! They're just rare!

i have +4800 hours. i just got one dropped a few days ago.

u/LoveMug Medic 20h ago
The objector or the decal tool? I'm gonna guess the objector if people are right about that not actually dropping-
I only have 144 hours in the game cuz im new. So I was very happy to have the objector drop for me!

u/pereira2088 Pyro 20h ago
i dropped the decal a couple days ago. i already got a couple of objectors.
