TF2 Trading for New Players – Buying Weapons, Stranges & Cosmetics

New to TF2 and just became Premium? Here’s how to make the most out of your first 2 keys.

This guide is built specifically for new players looking to get into trading after spending the $5 minimum to become a premium account (usually by buying 2 keys). I’ll walk you through everything you need to know to start building your loadout and inventory smartly — no wasted metal, no overpriced cosmetics.

We’ll cover how to use backpack.tf, scrap.tf, and the basics of price checking and trading. I also show how to build a full set of weapons, starter cosmetics, and even get Strange and Killstreak items — all on a budget.

Perfect for new players who want to dip their toes into the TF2 economy without getting scammed or confused.
