Best Answer

You can make an unusual weapon strange and killstreak if you have a strangifier and a killstreak kit that match the base item type.

You can't change a weapon's paint, so you need to start off with the unusual painted weapon you want.

There are quite a few cases in which it won't work though:

Not all war paints have unusual versions obtainable.
Not all war paint weapons have strangifiers available for them.
Not all war paint weapons have killstreak kits available for them. (I'm not actually 100% sure on this fact, and we might be able to still find generic killstreak kits for extremely high prices that apply to any item.)

Here's an example of one for sale that's Killstreak, Strange, and Unusual:

Note that it had to have started off with that war paint and effect since it was unboxed.

You can not use a Professional Kill Streak kit on a weapon with a kit already on it (same with all kits), you must remove the Specialized Part of the Weapon using the restore button, and then apply the new kit to it.

Is Strange better than Killstreak?

Stranges count all of your kills total, for as long as you use the weapons. Killstreaks only count your kills in one life, but they also announce every 5 kills to the server. Originally posted by Tesla Coil: Stranges count all of your kills total, for as long as you use the weapons.

What is a professional Killstreak weapon?

Professional Killstreak Kits are weapon specific and will count killstreaks, apply a weapon sheen, and they will emit particle effects from your players eyes which gets stronger the higher your killstreak gets. The particle effect and sheen will be displayed on the tooltip of the Killstreak Kit.
