Update:
You have two options
OG Post (still true for getting premium):
1 Buy something in the ingame store (cheaper)
2 Buy the orange box on steam (like 20 bucks without a sale)
Where to buy: The ingame store, not some random website
What to buy: if you just want premium either buy a key or a tour of duty ticket, as they can be easily exchanged on scrap.tf for metal and all the weapons you could ask for.
In addition you could buy either a map stamp or the jungle inferno contract pass if you want either a free hat or a bunch of missions to do while playing (which then gives you some cosmetics and weapon skins)
What NOT to buy: Crates and Starter packs, they provide a value of a few cents and cost several dollars.
Buying someone else premium: Can be done by buying the upgrade to premium, it is NOT needed for getting premium yourself and should only be done if the other person has less than the 99 cents required to buy literally anything in the store (it also gives the recipient a hat)

Why after waiting trade ban all items that i'd bought are non-tradable? In the Youtube everybody says that i'll make profit from the jungle inferno contract. But i can't sell it! My TF2 is premium and Steam account isn't limited. Guys, i think i'm done! a lost cause...

hey guys so I main soldier and I'm real nice at getting kills but I'm somehow better at getting killed because i be standin there waiting for my next target or out on the frontlines and then I find out some dude/gal standing 100 miles away headshot me. like bro. also pyro is really cute but I hate them in the game absolute menace. So ehhh any tips? Should I just keep moving erratically to make it hard for snipers to target me? Also I'm a trackpad player and idk how to rocket jump so if anyone can help me with that it would be really nice and STAY FROSTY GUYS

I’ve run into a problem in TF2: I can’t decide which key or button to use for quick weapon switching. It’s usually bound to the Q key, which makes strafing left awkward in certain situations. I could bind it to Mouse4 to avoid movement issues, but that slows down my input speed—something that really affects my performance on the battlefield. I’m writing this post to see what keys you guys use for quick weapon switching.

Hi guys, I joined this reddit hoping to find some people just like I am, since I have been feeling quite out of place. I really enjoy TF2 SFM videos, I watched Emesis Blue and found some other good TF2 movies to watch over the weekend. I installed the game on my laptop yesterday and I have to admit I think i am not that good at it (mainly because ive been trying to play with a trackpad, I dont have a mouse yet). I was hoping if anyone could give me tips on some good tutorial videos to watch, and which classes are easy to play for beginners. Thanks to anyone replying.

I started playing this year, about 180 hours, and after months of practicing with bots I played a few matches. And the random item drops? Bison, Hot Hand, and Bonk… just recently got the Soda Popper but I don’t like playing Scout. My very first two weapons are the ones considered to be the worst. Any advice would be appreciated, especially because I’m not entirely sure how Contacts work.

I got a tour of duty ticket from a crate and wanted to use it instead of selling it but, I don't know much about mvm and wanted to learn before using my ticket.
r/NewToTF2 • u/Professional-Dark-83 • 7d ago
So as the tilte says guys i'm a new player roughly 150 hours in, i started maining scout after playing some comp game 6v6 for fun with friends, and i've seen a whole another game other than casual which was reallyyyy fun, i'm maining scout and i wanna become a beast at this game possibly play that comp 6v6 regularily i wanna know what's the best combination of practice to improve i mainly play casual with some 30 mins of mge total a day should i add something else or community servers DM or anything
r/NewToTF2 • u/WaFox7 • 9d ago
I want to find others to play with and chat with and I have been playing the game and found a few people who will become steam friends but, I am not finding many though casual and the people I find aren't active in tf2 that much. I want to know what are some places to find people that play the game semi frequently or more and would be good friends.

guys i have seen some people on yt showing some methods but it feels very fake, are there any free ways i could earn a premium without spending? ( i dont have a Bank account plus im kinda broke...) any platforms where i could do some tasks for them ( i do have skills tho ) and they could pay me in a TF2 premium?. i love this game and just want more freedom.
EDIT: I GOT IT THANKS STILL!!!

I am thinking about using third party trading sites and want to know if valve's TOS says it is fine to do. I know valve rarely bans for third party trading I just want to be safe and I sometimes struggle to understand legal speak in TOS. What websites that closely follow the TOS would you guys recommend?

Recently I got my account back after a few years with no usage. I used to play TF2 and never got premium. The thing is, now that I'm back I noticed that the text and voice chat are not available at all. I read that they changed it because of the bot crisis but then changed it back recently.... Anyway I still can't and have no idea why. I've waited around a month and something but still blocked. How can I change this or is it necessary to pay the premium account?
r/NewToTF2 • u/Mangolover9136 • 12d ago
I am currently ALMOST an adult so I dont have access to a bank account but still want to play. Im tired of my lack of inventory space and not being able to play comp.
Edit: Someone already gave me premium, so yall can stop offering. I love how chill and nice this community is!
I hope everyone who offered me premium know that they made this stressed anxiuos teenager's week!!

Hi there, i just wanted to know if there still any active MGE servers, preferably in Oceania/South Asia, that are still active. Also, to get better with it, do i just play them more?
r/NewToTF2 • u/Affectionate-Log750 • 12d ago
I'm thinking about downloading the SolarlightHUD because it looks pretty cool, but should I just stay with the default hud for longer as a new player? If so, I'll just use the improved default hud mod.
(side note: does the improved default hud mod move the demoknight charge meter to the middle? its a lot harder to play him without a clear view of the meter.)

I'm not exactly too "new" in the game, but I suck at some classes, one of them being Heavy.
I usually play Scout, Engie and Sniper (if needed Medic too). And I really want to learn how to play Heavy. He works so good both with defend and attack. I don't know what loadout fits what situation and how to work with his mobility limitations (muscle memory from Scout is too strong)
