The purpose of this weapon is to allow the player to [[disguise]] as any [[class]] of either team. When selected, the disguise menu fills most of the screen, making in-game movements difficult. Players can select class disguises individually with the correct keys or switch between teams with a single key. When the minimal Disguise Kit menu has been enabled via the Advanced options menu, the player uses fewer keys to disguise, first selecting the class type (offensive, defensive, or support) and then selecting the individual class with the same three keys. If the player disguises as a friendly [[Spy]], the players current disguise (if he/she has one) will break.

Disguising is carried out over a couple of seconds during which smoke particles will surround the Spy when viewed by another player (These smoke clouds do not appear if the Spy was ''completely'' invisible when beginning to disguise). Once finished, a line drawing of the Spy shows up briefly on the player's screen to indicate a successful disguise. The Spy's current disguise class, name, health, and weapon will then appear in the [[HUD]]. The status of enemy [[Medics]] currently healing the Spy will also be shown. The line drawing also appears when the disguise is broken. Pressing the "last disguise" button allows the player to change their disguised weapon to one from the slot they currently have equipped.

— The Spy
 ”

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.

  • Crouching and looking up while holding the Disguise Kit causes the Spy's model to glitch and perform a sort of crab-walk, named by the community as the Spycrab.
  • The outline shown when disguising or undisguising uses a special texture magnification effect.
  • The pda_click console command displays the Spy pressing the red button on the Disguise Kit, only visible to other players. Using this command does not disguise the player, and is just for miscellaneous reasons. Also, the animation does not perform if the player is crouching.
