The '''Dead Ringer''' is an unlockable gadget for the [[Spy]] class. It is a gold-plated pocket watch with an inscription of a hummingbird on the outside, the symbol for eternal life.
+
{{Quotation|'''Dead Ringer''' publicity blurb|By the time your adversary races towards your 'body' to frisk you for cash and pull gold fillings out of your mouth, you'll already be behind him, poised for the killing blow.}}
  
−
This weapon's main attribute is to [[Cloak]] the owner for 6.5 seconds upon being injured, leaving behind a fake corpse to distract and deceive enemies. To use it, the Spy must be holding the watch up in preparation before taking damage. The Cloak generated is instantaneous, and can generate fake kill feeds, dominations, revenges, HLstatsX messages and even achievements. Heads will also be added to the [[Eyelander]] via a fake death. When triggered in an [[Arena]] before any other player is killed, it grants the attacker the [[First blood]] buff. If the player is disguised as a friendly class, activation drops a ragdoll corpse of that class.
+
The '''Dead Ringer''' is an unlockable [[Weapons#spypdasecondary|PDA weapon]] for the [[Spy]]. It is an advanced cloaking device disguised as a gold-plated pocket watch with an engraving of a hummingbird on its lid.
  
−
During Cloak, the Dead Ringer blocks 90% of the damage from the activating hit. This allows the player to survive fully charged [[headshot]]s by [[Sniper]]s or [[backstab]]s from enemy Spies, as long as the user has a sufficient amount of [[health|Hit Points]] before the attack was made. Since backstabs have a base damage of 6 times the victim's current health, and the initial hit that activates the Dead Ringer does 10% damage, backstabs will deal 6/10 of the victim's current health. Additionally, the watch prevents the [[Cloak]] from flickering upon impact with enemies or damage.
+
Unlike the [[Invis Watch]], the Dead Ringer does not immediately cause the Spy to [[cloak]] when the alt-fire key {{DK|MOUSE2}} is pressed. Instead, the Spy holds the Dead Ringer out in his hand waiting to take damage. The Dead Ringer's cloak meter must be fully charged before it can be held, and holding the watch prevents the Spy from attacking or placing [[Sapper]]s, as when cloaked. Pressing the alt-fire key again causes the Spy to put the Dead Ringer away. Upon taking damage while the Dead Ringer is being held in hand, the Spy immediately and fully cloaks, leaving behind a fake [[Ragdoll|corpse]] to deceive enemies. If the Spy takes explosive damage, there is an 85% chance for fake [[gibs]] to be created instead of a fake corpse.<ref>game/server/tf/tf_player.cpp:L10447</ref> If a player is disguised as one of their own teammates, the fake corpse appears to enemies as the player they were disguised as, and to their own team as a friendly Spy corpse wearing a disguise mask. Certain in-game information is also faked to make the Spy's "death" more convincing.  
  
−
The Dead Ringer uncloaks with a very distinct sound. The uncloak noise is quite loud up-close, but rapidly fades with distance. Its Cloak meter drains significantly upon uncloaking, and cannot be used again until fully recharged, though emerging from the Dead Ringer's Cloak drains up to 60% if the meter is at least 40% full. Like the standard [[Invisibility Watch]], picking up ammo can replenish the Cloak. [[Resupply area]]s, [[Dispenser]]s, and [[ammo]] can also replenish the Cloak meter. A large ammo box and medium boxes will restore 35% and small boxes 25%.  If a Spy is cloaked for more than 6.5 seconds using the Dead Ringer, through collecting ammo or other sources, it will revert to a standard Cloak, losing the 90% damage reduction and letting the Cloak flicker if the Spy collides with an enemy or gets shot.
+
The Spy takes 75% less damage from the initial attack that activates the cloak. In addition, the Dead Ringer's cloak differs from that of the Invis Watch in several ways:
 +
* Upon activation, the cloak meter immediately drops to 50%, and the Spy receives a 3-second speed boost.
 +
* During the first 3 seconds of cloak, the Spy does not flicker on contact with enemies or upon being shot, and he gains immunity to [[afterburn]].
 +
* The Spy gains a 65% damage resistance upon the Dead Ringer's activation, fading to the normal 20% cloaked damage resistance after 3 seconds.
  
−
Activating the Dead Ringer while already on fire extinguishes it. The player must take evasive action, however, as they can be lit on fire again during Cloak. The Dead Ringer Cloak will activate even if the Spy was previously covered by [[Jarate]] (the increased damage will still be in effect however), but will short out if he is hit by Jarate while the Cloak is active. The [[Tribalman's Shiv]] or [[Southern Hospitality]] can inflict [[bleed]] which will cause the Spy to drop blood even while cloaked, allowing him to be tracked by sharp-eyed opponents.
+
The cloak takes 7 seconds to fully drain (from the initial 50%). The initial damage reduction allows the player to survive massive amounts of damage as long as the user has a sufficient amount of [[Health]] before the attack was made, with the exception of fully charged [[headshot]]s by [[Sniper]]s using the [[Machina]], [[backstab]]s from enemy Spies, and most [[Taunts#Taunt kills|taunt kills]].
  
−
==Function times==
+
Activating the Dead Ringer extinguishes afterburn and stops [[bleeding]]. However, other status effects are unaffected. Notably, [[Soaked|soaking]] effects, including [[water]], is not removed, making it difficult to convincingly fake a death while under these effects. In addition, afterburn and bleeding are only removed by the initial activation; once the player is cloaked, the Spy is not immune to these status effects, although such effects have a reduced duration as with the normal Invis Watch cloak.
−
Activates upon injury. The Spy will take only 10% damage from attacks while he is cloaked, including the initial triggering attack.
 
  
−
*Cloak maximum duration: 6.5 seconds
+
The Dead Ringer uncloaks with a [[Media:Spy uncloak feigndeath.wav|very loud and distinct sound]]. The uncloak noise is noticeably loud up-close but rapidly fades with distance. Unlike with the Invis Watch, [[ammo]] pickups and [[Dispenser]]s cannot replenish the Cloak meter.  
  
−
*Cloak recharge time (from 100% depletion): 16 seconds
+
The Dead Ringer is automatically given to any player who obtains 17 [[Spy achievements]].

==Trivia==
+
'''{{Patch name|6|21|2022}}'''
−
*Using the Dead Ringer, it is possible to survive: a deadly fall (non-trigger), 16 stickies, taunt attacks, fully-charged [[headshot|headshots]], backstabs, and the initial hit by a [[train]] or [[saw blade]].
+
* Fixed the Spy's feigned deaths with the Dead Ringer not showing up in the matchmaking quick team status bar.
−
*Though it is possible to momentarily survive a train hit, the train will plow into the Spy again and kill them unless they move quickly out of its path.
 
−
*When ping and network transmission are not an issue, a Spy can bring up the Dead Ringer and be protected in less than 1/100th of a second. In the average online match this margin is greater, but the times serve to show that the Dead Ringer was designed with no real activation delay.
 
−
*[http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/dead%20ringer.html Dead Ringer] is a phrase used to describe something or someone looking nearly identical to something or someone else. (e.g.'' 'He's a Dead Ringer for that BLU Spy we shot earlier!' '')
 
−
*The ability to feign death was present in Team Fortress Classic, and the Dead Ringer's function was likely inspired by that ability. However in Team Fortress Classic, the invisiblity was limited instead to being rendered immobile and having to hope that the enemy would pass by.
 
−
*The Dead Ringer is the only thing short of an [[ÜberCharge]] that can be used to survive a taunt attack.
 
−
*If a Spy using the Dead Ringer is "killed" by an enemy, that enemy will be granted progress towards completing [[Achievement]]s as if the Spy had actually died.
 
−
*A glitch exists where reloading either the [[Revolver]] or the [[Ambassador]], or taking out a [[Electro Sapper]] whilst holding the Dead Ringer up will cause the Spy to appear to have three arms.
 
−
*In some cases, if one is covered in [[Jarate]] and then activates the Dead Ringer, the Jarate will remain on the player revealing their location.
 
−
*Feign Deaths will not:
 
−
** Be counted by Sentry Guns as kills or assists and thus will not contribute to revenge Crits for the [[Frontier Justice]].
 
−
** Trigger the 5 second Crit-boost for the [[Killing Gloves of Boxing]].
 
−
** Trigger the 75 health boost given by the [[Powerjack]].
 
−
** Display a "FISH KILL!" message from the [[Holy Mackerel]], instead incrementing the hit counter, and will continue to increment if one manages to hit the cloaked Spy.
 
−
** Trigger the "instantly disguised as the backstab victim" effect from the [[Your Eternal Reward]].
 
−

“
By the time your adversary races towards your 'body' to frisk you for cash and pull gold fillings out of your mouth, you'll already be behind him, poised for the killing blow.
— Dead Ringer publicity blurb
 ”

The Dead Ringer is an unlockable PDA weapon for the Spy. It is an advanced cloaking device disguised as a gold-plated pocket watch with an engraving of a hummingbird on its lid.

Unlike the Invis Watch, the Dead Ringer does not immediately cause the Spy to cloak when the alt-fire key (default key: MOUSE2) is pressed. Instead, the Spy holds the Dead Ringer out in his hand waiting to take damage. The Dead Ringer's cloak meter must be fully charged before it can be held, and holding the watch prevents the Spy from attacking or placing Sappers, as when cloaked. Pressing the alt-fire key again causes the Spy to put the Dead Ringer away. Upon taking damage while the Dead Ringer is being held in hand, the Spy immediately and fully cloaks, leaving behind a fake corpse to deceive enemies. If the Spy takes explosive damage, there is an 85% chance for fake gibs to be created instead of a fake corpse.[1] If a player is disguised as one of their own teammates, the fake corpse appears to enemies as the player they were disguised as, and to their own team as a friendly Spy corpse wearing a disguise mask. Certain in-game information is also faked to make the Spy's "death" more convincing.

The Spy takes 75% less damage from the initial attack that activates the cloak. In addition, the Dead Ringer's cloak differs from that of the Invis Watch in several ways:

  • Upon activation, the cloak meter immediately drops to 50%, and the Spy receives a 3-second speed boost.
  • During the first 3 seconds of cloak, the Spy does not flicker on contact with enemies or upon being shot, and he gains immunity to afterburn.
  • The Spy gains a 65% damage resistance upon the Dead Ringer's activation, fading to the normal 20% cloaked damage resistance after 3 seconds.

The cloak takes 7 seconds to fully drain (from the initial 50%). The initial damage reduction allows the player to survive massive amounts of damage as long as the user has a sufficient amount of Health before the attack was made, with the exception of fully charged headshots by Snipers using the Machina, backstabs from enemy Spies, and most taunt kills.

Activating the Dead Ringer extinguishes afterburn and stops bleeding. However, other status effects are unaffected. Notably, soaking effects, including water, is not removed, making it difficult to convincingly fake a death while under these effects. In addition, afterburn and bleeding are only removed by the initial activation; once the player is cloaked, the Spy is not immune to these status effects, although such effects have a reduced duration as with the normal Invis Watch cloak.

The Dead Ringer uncloaks with a very loud and distinct sound. The uncloak noise is noticeably loud up-close but rapidly fades with distance. Unlike with the Invis Watch, ammo pickups and Dispensers cannot replenish the Cloak meter.

The Dead Ringer is automatically given to any player who obtains 17 Spy achievements.

Feign death effects

Feigned deaths replicate or fake certain HUD elements in order to look more convincing. However, some effects are not replicated, which vigilant players may notice.

  • Feigning death on circumstances that should trigger a unique death scream sometimes issue a normal death scream.
  • The damage reduction from the Dead Ringer applies to drowning damage as well. However, the Spy recovers the full amount of health that would have been lost without the Dead Ringer, allowing players to heal themselves by intentionally drowning.
  • Activating the watch upon round start sometimes causes the Spy not to hold up the watch. This can only be fixed by dying.

  • If the player is holding the Dead Ringer after their team has lost the round, taking damage does not cause the feign death trigger, but the 75% damage resistance triggers each time.
    • If an enemy player damages a Spy in this state, damage numbers do not reflect the 75% damage resistance.
