How long would it take get a hat in tf2?

Answer 1

Pretty long, you tend to get an item roughly every hour or so. Every time you get an item, it rolls the dice to determine what you get, to get a random hat, the percentage is 0.33% pretty tough to get one.

Answer 2

In Team Fortress 2, you can receive a hat as a random drop while playing the game. The drop rate for cosmetic items like hats is fairly low, so it might take some time before you get one. Some players have reported going hundreds of hours of playtime without finding a hat drop.
