While in Team Fortress equipping items defines what Weapons, Hats and Taunts you have for a game it is important to understand, that the Roleplay item system described here is decoupled from your load out completely. It might be worth noting that any changes to your load out are temporary and do not carry over to other servers.
When joining a Roleplay server your load out is mostly left in tact, but your weapons will be removed, since this is not a action combat focused game mode. To re-gain weapons, health or ammo you will have to obtain items from vendors (NPCs) on the server for a soft currency you accumulate over time. Among combat items there are also other types of items you can obtain, as listed below.
Item types:
| Weapon | Gives you a weapon. In order to not upset Valve, we only hand out the base variations of weapons, even if your load out differs. |
| Ammo | Adds one clips worth of ammo to your reserve, up to max reserve ammo. If a weapon does not have reserve ammo it usually fills your weapon completely. |
| Molotov | This is a custom experimental item type for starting fires. |
| Food | Restores 5 HP/€ and 6 Energy/HP. If you're at full energy you can not eat any more. |
| Medkit | Restores (0,24*€+1) HP and 6 Energy/HP. The advantage is, that you can use this item regardless of your current energy level. |
| Alcohol/Drugs | Displays a drug screen effect for 30 seconds time. |
| Lockpick | Allows you to unlock a door that has no locks left. Can only be used on hinged doors. |
| Doorhack | Allows you to open doors with no locks left. Can only be used on sliding doors. |
| Cuffsaw | Removed the cuffed status from a player you target. Cannot be used on yourself (you're cuffed, duh) |
| Command | Commands of this type can perform arbitrary actions, usually defined though a server command. |
| Trap | Drops an item box that, when picked up, performs arbitrary actions, usually defined through a server command. |
| LotteryTicket | Gamble your hard earned money away - or win a jackpot, who knows. |
| Lock | Allows you to protect your apartment doors from Lockpick/Doorhack. |
| LockBreak | Removes one lock for an apartment door that is protected. |
| Sprint | These items temporarily increase your movement speed. |
| PoliceDetector | While active and in your inventory, your HUD will point to any cop on the map. |
| MetalDetector | While active and in your inventory, your HUD will point to weapons and money on the floor in a sizeable radius around you. |
