| “ | There are two sorts of men in this world: the sort with blood pouring out of a hole in their heads, and the sort holding the Ambassador.
— Ambassador publicity blurb

The Ambassador is an unlockable secondary weapon for the Spy. It is a large-barreled revolver with a deep team-colored (red for RED, brown for BLU) rosewood grip, and an engraving of a reclining woman on the barrel.
The Ambassador does 15% less damage, does not apply random critical hits, and fires at a slower rate than the default Revolver. However, it has perfect accuracy for shots fired at slower intervals and deals critical hits on a headshot. There is a short period after firing, indicated by an enlarged crosshair in the HUD, where the Ambassador has greatly decreased accuracy and cannot deal critical damage on a headshot, therefore it is most useful for those with steady aim.
The Ambassador is automatically given to any player who obtains 5 Spy achievements.
