Information
The Ghastly Gibus is an unlockable headwear item available to all classes. It appears as a slightly decayed, black gibus hat with the top nearly detached. In a similar fashion to the Gentle manne's service medal, the first possible method of getting this hat was to be one of the first 10,319 people to visit a hidden web page. The alternative method, through which it can be still be unlocked, is to comple the Ghastly Gibus Grab achievement by dominating a player wearing the hat.
Trivia
- The initials "ZM" are embroided on the inside...
- The gibus, also known as the opera hat, was invented in 1800–10 and named for its inventor, a 19th century Frenchman. It is a man's tall, collapsible top hat, held open or in shape by springs and usually covered with a black, silky fabric.
- The ghost of Zepheniah Mann can be seen wearing this hat while haunting the event version of Harvest.
- The Ghastly Gibus is somewhat similar to the Scotsman's stove pipe.
- The hat may also be a reference to "gib", a term used when a character in a video game is killed in a very gory way, often scattering the characters various body parts apart.
- There are claims that the hat is now droppable, due to the fact that people have found without recently completing the achievement, leading to much confusion among the TF2 community.
- The amount of people who got one from the secret webpage, 10319, is the date of Halloween 2009, 10/31/09.
