 The Cloak and Dagger |

The Cloak and Dagger is an unlockable PDA weapon for the Spy. It is advanced technology cleverly hidden as a digital watch with a gold-colored case, three small buttons and alligator/crocodile leather straps.
This weapon functions similarly to the Invis Watch, but has the ability to recharge the Cloak meter indefinitely – even when cloaked – by remaining stationary. As long as you aren't moving, the recharge rate is the same as when you are uncloaked. In return, the meter cannot be replenished by picking up ammo crates while invisible; picking up ammo crates will refill the meter, although at a reduced rate compared to the stock Invis Watch.
The Cloak and Dagger drain rate centers on the velocity at which the player moves. It has a 50% faster maximum drain rate than the Stock Invisibility Watch, assuming the Spy is constantly running forward with the watch activated. Running backwards, swimming, or crouching reduces the rate, while moving through the air slightly increases the rate. Increasing or decreasing the Spy's base movement speed, however, does not affect drain rate. The Cloak and Dagger will not automatically uncloak if the meter runs out, but will instead allow the Spy to remain partially cloaked, as when touching an enemy. The Cloak meter will not recharge underwater, unless the player is not currently using their Cloak.
The Cloak and Dagger is automatically given to any player who obtains 11 Spy achievements.

Trivia
- "Cloak and dagger" is a phrase referring to acts of stealth and secrecy. It originated from the French phrase "de cape et d'épée", meaning "of cloak and sword". This term describes characters in theatrical productions who quite literally wore these items as part of their costumes.
- The phrase was previously referenced as "uncloak and dagger", the Spy's job description in Trailer 2.
