after doing stuff, eg dieing, taking damage, Ect, on death you may receive an item, idle servers keep killing you or making you do things, so that you will receive more items more quickly.
You don't. Items created in the Workshop for Team Fortress 2 are added as either random drops in-game or as purchasable items in the Mann Co. store.
I am fairly sure that Strange items can only be aquired from random drops.
Well in team fortress 2 to find items on the home screen click servers, select what you want, join the server and then play :). You find items completely random by just playing, but you can only find ten a week. This resets on Thursday so if you have found ten items before Thursday, after you can find ten items again. Hope I helped :D
you can buy them from the steam store, you can find it as a random drop, the items can be crafted or you can trade for them.
As of 27/04/2012 there are 540 items in team Fortress 2.
When in the main menu of Team Fortress 2, press servers. type in "cp_degrootkeep" (without the quotes) in the map section. Eventually, servers will come up and you can join them. All servers will have the map set to DeGroot Keep.
all items except player made items are found in game randomly or as the reward to achievements but i think cloak and dagger is one of the random ones
It is a random item drop
Quickplay has an option to check only official Valve servers.
if you mean the random spread of weapon fire. you can't in the general game.
yes
While it is rare, it is possible.
