Introduction
In this guide,I will show some tips to level up your strange weapon.Some tips may suitable for you,if a tips is not suitable for you,you can skip it to next tips.If non of it is suitable for you,I'm sorry for not able give you tips you want.

What is strange weapon?
Strange weapon will track kills but some of it will not track kills such as strange Medigun it track number of times you Ubercharged.

Can I get Strange weapon from drop?
No.Strange weapon can only found from crate.This is why some players buy certain crate because it contain special strange weapon(some of them is trying uncrate unusual hats)

You're lying,you can get botkiller from drop!
Yes,you can got botkiller from drop but only in Mann Up mode.

Dem man,I hate to unlock crate!
There is lot of player selling their stranges today,you can buy from them.

No way,Strange weapon must be extremely expensive...
No every strange weapon is expensive.For example the strange Wrap Assassin,I bought it from other player with a scrap.

A player just got a refined metal by selling Wrap Assasin,why you just said it is only worth a scrap.
That is scam,becareful when you are buying Stranges,some player will sell a very cheap strange extremely expensive to scam other player's metal.

How I can know Strange weapon's price???
You can try out this website.

Tips #1-Join crit server
In crit server,it is much easier to kill people because your guns got full crit all the time.All you have to becareful is...beware of enemy Sniper because in crit server bodyshoter is very very common.Enemy Spy is another treat to you because their guns can deal very strong critical hit damage espeically they using Enforcer.Enforcer allow them insta kill class with 125hp.

These Sniper keep bodyshot me!
It is annoying right?You can try became sticky jumping Demoman and sticky jump to their back and start killing these Sniper.

These 'Snipy' keep killing me on mid air when I try sticky jump to their back!
Some Sniper will saw you coming from sky.If they keep killing you,I suggest using Spy because you can cloaking to do avoid them and Spy's revolver got a good damage on crit server.

What the f@ck?!That Sniper just suddenly kill me even I'm cloaking at place with no one else near me!!!!
That Sniper could be a aimbot hacker but at some of the time it just that Sniper's pure luck.If this keep continue,that Sniper is a hacker.
Tips #2-Bully some Noob
My favourite way to upgrade my Stranges is keep targeting newbie and noob.This is because both of it is very easy to kill.Another reason is noob and newbie is very easy to getting tricked into trap.Becareful if you picking them way too much,they might gone class such as Spy,Sniper or Heavy to seak revenge.

What is Noob?
Noob is the player that can't play game well,they always fail.

I just spotted a hatless bastard!He must be a noob!
Not really,some hatless player can be very pro in TF2.
Tips #3-Spawn Camping
Spawn camping is another easy way to get kills,because when your enemy is get out of spawn they get killed.This tips work best with classes with good firepower such as Soldier,Demoman and Heavy.

If you spawn camping with Strange stickbomb launcher,it is very easy to get tons of kills.

If you spawn camping way too long,your enemy player might using Spy with dead ringer equiped or became Medic to prepare Ubercharge to charge out from spawn.

My team mate keep steal my kill when I'm spawn camping!
That happen very common when your team is spawn camping.Just keep trying you might get a kill from it.
Tips #4-Teleporter Camping
Similar to spawn camping but this time you will camping at teleporter exit.Teleporter camping can be very time consuming because not every player take teleport and teleport require recharge time after teleporting a player.

Level 1 Teleporter-Took 10 second to recharge

Level 2 Teleporter-Took 5 second to recharge

Level 3 Teleporter-Took 3 second to recharge

Also,teleporter camping is less efficient because if you camping for very long time,your enemy will stop using the teleporter.There chance you will getting killed by other player while you are teleporter camping.

I got killed for no reason when I standing on the teleport exit!What the F@CK?!
You got telefragged lol.

I camping near a new enemy teleporter,but no enemy using it. :(
Some player dislike using teleporter.It could be that teleporter's entrace build at somewhere else with no one nearby.

Tips #5-Join idling server
Idling server is most of player's favorite way to level up strange.Idling server usually created to allow player idling for item and allow some player join to kill idler.If you do this,it is extremely easy to level up your strange.

What the F@CK,this idling server is warfare!I can't level up my strange!!!!!
I suggest you change to other idling server.

I can't get kills!They keep stealing my kill!
Change to other idling server with less player.

Oh dem,some player is building sentry gun to rack up kills!I can't get kill because of it!
You should try tell that player stop doing that or change to other server.

Is it using idling server is fair?
For me...not at all.I hate idling server.Using idle server to level up strange is cheating,every kill you got on achivement server is not legit.
Tips #6-Be tryhard(for friendly players)
There are many player is friendly on trade or fun server but did you know how tryhard can get many strange kills?They killing all the time,they shot everyone in his.her's sight.So,if you want get many kills you have to became a tryhard which killing all the time.

Tips to became tryhard.
1)Kill everyone you met
2)See some player party?Kill everyone on that party.
3)Kill every friendly player show them you are tryhard.

The only problem of being try hard is...some player will insult you for being tryhard.

F@CK YOU!Other player insult me when I'm using tip!!!!!!
Like I mentioned above,being try hard will getting insulted by other player.
Tips #7-Work together
Another way to level up strange weapon quick is work together with your team mate.Try stick with your team mate because it is very hard to get kill streak by fighting alone.If you stick with team mate,your team mate will weaken your enemy and make them more easier to kill.However,at some of the time,your team mate may 'accidently' stole your kills but don't worry as long as you stick with them you can still get another kill.

Not really,doing things alone is better
I agree doing things alone is better but not all the time.This is because it is very hard to kill group of player if you fight alone.Working with your team mate will help you survive on battlefield much longer because your team mate can became your bullet shield.Plus,your team mate will weaken your enemy make them much more easier to kill.

They steal my kill!
If they steal your kill just ignore it,you can still kill other incoming enemies.
Tips #8-Attack from behind
Most of the enemy player will distracted when they are fighting in middle of battle.They mostly focus on things in their sight,not their back.This make them became easy target to getting killed.Usually,a player will not notice their back even they got attacked from behind because they got distracted by your team mate fighting infront of them.

If you successfully get to their back,you can begin your killing spree.

Becareful,some enemy will know they got attack from behind.Also,be ready for unexpected moment such as enemy kill you from behind.

Should I try taunting them after killing all of my enemy from behind?
Tips #9-Bullying people using weak class
Weak class is class with low hp such as Spy,Scout,Sniper and Engineer is weak class.Just like bullying the noob or newbie,this time you're going to bully class with low hp.

Why picking on weak class?
Because their health point is low it is very easy to kill them.

So,you mean we can bully them all the time?
Not really,some player will getting mad after they got killed by same person too many times.This will make them go class with higher health point and stronger firepower such as Heavy.Also,some of the player that using weak class can be very dangerous.

@Style I have a way to level up my Chocolate bar for heavy. Just go to an uber upgrades server and upgrade the lunchbox item's recharge rate and your 'gesture speed'. Doing this will make it so you can eat the item quickly, and still have it when your done.

Here's a guide to level up a strange
1.Get a kill.
2. Get a sticky note.
3.Record your kill.
That's it! Do it before it's patched *Already patched, you need your sticky note on your Keyboard :D*
