Selecting this weapon allows the player to [[disguise]] as any class on either team. When selected, the disguise menu fills most of the screen, making in game movements difficult. Players can select classes with the correct keys, and switch teams with a single key. Disguising is carried out over a couple of seconds, during which smoke particles will surround the Spy if viewed by another player. Once finished, a line drawing of the Spy shows up briefly on the player's screen to indicate a successful disguise. This line drawing also appears when the disguise is broken. Pressing the last disguise button (PC version) allows the player to change their disguised weapon to one from the slot they currently have equipped.

The '''Disguise Kit''', also known as the '''Spytron 3000 Disguise Kit''', is a default [[Weapons#spypdaprimary|PDA weapon]] for the [[Spy]]. It is a seemingly ordinary cigarette case that, in addition to six normal cigarettes, contains hidden Spy tech.
  
−
When disguising, the Disguise Kit chooses a random (in the PC version) player of the appropriate team and class and mimics their name, Health at the time of disguising and weapon loadout. This information is displayed in the lower left corner of the HUD.
+
The Disguise Kit allows the player to [[disguise]] as any [[Classes|class]] of either team. When selected, the Disguise menu appears, allowing the player to select class disguises individually via the correct keys, or to switch between team colors. If the player disguises as a friendly Spy, their current disguise (if they have one) breaks.
  
−
In the PC version, once disguised as the enemy, you can see enemies' current health and name as if you were looking at an ally. You can also see the status of any enemy Medics currently healing you.
+
Disguising is carried out over a couple of seconds, during which smoke particles surround the Spy. These smoke clouds do not appear if the Spy was ''completely'' [[cloak]]ed when beginning to disguise. Once finished, a line drawing of the Spy briefly appears on the player's screen to indicate a successful disguise. The class, name, health, and weapon of the Spy's current disguise then appears in the [[Heads-up display|HUD]]. The status of enemy [[Medic]]s currently healing the Spy is also shown. Note that the line drawing also appears when the current disguise is broken.

 ”

The Disguise Kit, also known as the Spytron 3000 Disguise Kit, is a default PDA weapon for the Spy. It is a seemingly ordinary cigarette case that, in addition to six normal cigarettes, contains hidden Spy tech.

The Disguise Kit allows the player to disguise as any class of either team. When selected, the Disguise menu appears, allowing the player to select class disguises individually via the correct keys, or to switch between team colors. If the player disguises as a friendly Spy, their current disguise (if they have one) breaks.

Disguising is carried out over a couple of seconds, during which smoke particles surround the Spy. These smoke clouds do not appear if the Spy was completely cloaked when beginning to disguise. Once finished, a line drawing of the Spy briefly appears on the player's screen to indicate a successful disguise. The class, name, health, and weapon of the Spy's current disguise then appears in the HUD. The status of enemy Medics currently healing the Spy is also shown. Note that the line drawing also appears when the current disguise is broken.

Pressing the "last disguise" button (default key: B) allows the player to change their disguised weapon to one relative to the slot they currently have active.

Taunting while not disguised and with the Disguise Kit active results in one of two possible taunts; either the Spy flicks away his used cigarette and takes a new one from the case, or the Spy activates his crab-walking kit, grins, and does a short dance while clicking his fingers and cigarette case like pincers. There is approximately a one-tenth chance of the latter occurring when taunting with the Disguise Kit active.

Bugs

  • A Spy disguised as a player with a health reduction weapon, such as the Vita-Saw, shows the disguised class's normal maximum health with damage corresponding to the health reduction, instead of the maximum health after the health reduction is applied.[1]
    • Likewise, a Spy disguised as a player with a weapon that increases maximum health, such as the Battalion's Backup, shows the disguised class's normal maximum health, and any extra maximum health acts as overheal, which decreases after the disguise is applied.[2]
