Can I remove some of the strange attributes from a strange cosmetic?

Solution 1:

For most cosmetics, @EnragedTanker's answer would be correct.

Strange Haunted items are special. Why? Because they have the following intrinsic properties/parts that can't be removed:

  • Strange Filter: Carnival of Carnage
  • Strange Part: Carnival Underworld Kills
  • Strange Part: Carnival Games Won

Why? Because they were part of the Halloween 2014 event, which introduced sd_doomsday_event AKA Carnival of Carnage.

Solution 2:

Yes.

Strange Parts can be individually removed from a weapon using the Restore button in the backpack, allowing the player to remove a strange part of their choosing; however, a part which has been removed will not be returned to the player, and instead will be permanently lost.

Right click on the strange item in your backpack, click Restore, choose the part you want to remove.
