Idle Team Fortress 2 on Steam
Unlock TF2's huge class-specific achievement list while you idle
Team Fortress 2 has one of the largest achievement lists on Steam - hundreds of them, many tied to a specific class or weapon. Unlike most Valve multiplayer titles, TF2's achievements are genuinely trackable through Steam, which makes it a good fit for Steam Game Idler's Achievement Manager.
TF2 doesn't have a Steam trading card badge, so idling here is mostly about achievement visibility and playtime rather than card farming.
Team Fortress 2 is one of Valve's Game Coordinator titles, so idling it requires Legacy Sign In with a real local Steam client - Agent Mode can't reach its Game Coordinator.

Frequently asked questions
How many achievements does TF2 have?
TF2's achievement list runs into the hundreds, split across each class plus general and event-specific achievements - one of the largest achievement sets on Steam.
Does TF2 have trading cards?
No - TF2 predates the Steam trading card system and was never retrofitted with a badge, so Card Farming won't apply here.
Why does TF2 need Legacy Sign In instead of Agent Mode?
TF2 is a Game Coordinator title. Its achievement and item systems only respond to requests routed through a real local Steam client, which is what Legacy Sign In (CLI mode) provides.
