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.
This weapon allows the player to disguise as any class of either team. When selected, the Disguise menu appears, allowing players to select class disguises individually via the correct keys, or to switch between team colors. If the player disguises as a friendly Spy, the player's current disguise (if they have one) will break.
Disguising is carried out over a couple of seconds, during which smoke particles will surround the Spy. These smoke clouds do not appear if the Spy was completely invisible 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 will then appear in the HUD. The status of enemy Medics currently healing the Spy will also be shown. Note that the line drawing also appears when the current 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.
Taunting while not disguised and with the Disguise Kit active will perform 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.

- In the disguise menu, pressing 'reload' will also toggle the disguise team.
Bugs
- Switching classes in spawn while disguised hides some bodygroups of the player's model, such as the Pyro's gas mask and the Heavy's Fists.
- The BLU Spy has white cigarettes inside his Disguise Kit, despite them appearing brown on the player model.
- Despite being unable to capture a control point while disguised as an enemy member, if a Spy disguised as an enemy member is standing on the point when it's captured, the Spy will still receive points for the capture.
- If the player you disguise as is not the same class as your disguise, the weapon you are holding might either disappear or be incorrect.
- If a Disguise has a health reduction weapon (Vita-Saw, Conniver's Kunai), The disguise may use the max hp for that class. (ex. a Spy with the Kunai with 125 hp that is not counted as Overheal)
- Sometimes, the Disguise Kit will make an error sound while trying to disguise and not do anything. This can be fixed by respawning or going to a resupply locker.
- If a Spy disguises as a Demoman wearing Ali Baba's Wee Booties or the Bootlegger, the disguise will not have any feet.
Trivia
- Crouching and looking up while holding the Disguise Kit causes the Spy's model to glitch and preform 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.
Notes
- A "minimal menu" option is available for this weapon, enabled via the Advanced options menu. With this option enabled, the player uses fewer keys to disguise; first selecting the class type (offensive, defensive, or support) and then selecting the individual class. All options for this menu use the same three keys.
