Your Eternal Reward is a melee weapon for the Spy class. It appears as a long, ornate dagger with distinct oriental designs.

This weapon retains the backstab ability inherent to the Knife, but with additional features. Should the player successfully execute a backstab, the Spy will instantaneously disguise as the target. Furthermore, the enemy will not scream in pain as usual and their corpse will fade away almost instantly as if they are cloaking. The process is so fast that Sentry Guns will be unable to target the Spy during the process. Despite this, the kill feed will still display the death to observant players.

The disguise effect is activated upon a backstab, whether the target dies or not. This can allow players to disguise as a Bonked Scout, a Razorback-wearing Sniper, or an ÜberCharged enemy, provided they make a quick escape afterwards to avoid detection. Kills made without backstabbing will not disguise the Spy, yet the kill will be silent and the corpse will disappear. Furthermore, backstabbing an enemy while carrying the enemy intelligence will result in the Spy disguising, where normally this is not possible. Returning to a resupply locker will remove the current disguise on the Spy.

The player will be unable to disguise normally using the Disguise Kit, which will be removed from the inventory. This forces Spies to rely on extended use of Cloaking to move around undetected. It is also not possible to change the disguised weapon.

Damage

  • Base: 40 (28-54 damage)
  • Mini-Crit: 54

Trivia

  • The name is a reference to a scene in the 1992 film Aladdin. The entry's description in the Polycount contest furthers this by mentioning the phrases "Phenominal[sic] Cosmic Power" and "Diamond in the Rough", both of which are used in the movie.
  • Currently, if the player is disguised as an enemy with Your Eternal Reward, they will be unable to switch disguise weapons. This may be either be a feature or a bug.
  • Before the item was released, Robin Walker joked that the Eternal Reward's drawback would be that it cannot facestab. It is still possible though.
  • This is the first unlock that removes an item from a class.
  • When pulling out Your Eternal Reward, the switch-blade sound effect of the Knife opening up can still be heard.
  • If the player dies after switching Your Eternal Reward to the Knife, it may trigger a bug where respawning is not possible until they swap classes.
