 The Your Eternal Reward |

Your Eternal Reward, commonly abbreviated as YER, is a community-created melee weapon for the Spy. It is a long, ornate dagger with distinctive oriental designs, a team-colored wooden handle, and a curved golden hilt.
This weapon retains the instant-kill backstab ability of the Knife, but with some tweaks. Upon a successful backstab, the Spy will instantaneously disguise as the target without the puffs of smoke that usually surround a disguising Spy. Furthermore, the victim will not scream upon death, nor will a death notice appear in the enemy team's kill feed. Also, the corpse of the victim will fade away almost instantly as if cloaking (unless that user has the Bombinomicon equipped, then there will be the exploding death effect with no fade). Finally, the Spy will not use any voice Responses, including lines for dominations, on a successful backstab to prevent drawing unnecessary attention. The process is so quick and unnoticeable that the Spy is never revealed between disguises. Therefore, Sentry Guns will be unable to target the Spy between backstabs, making it easier to backstab unaware Engineers and sap his buildings. Upon backstabbing someone who is being healed by a Medic, the healing beam will automatically transfer to the Spy. The player still retains the ability to change and reload their disguise weapon, as with the Disguise Kit. Altogether, backstabs become much more difficult to track, as victims disappear silently with the Spy instantly taking their place in battle.
However, the disguise effect is not activated if the target does not die from the backstab; namely, if the target is wearing a Razorback or is invulnerable. Non-backstab kills achieved will not grant the Spy the victim's disguise and the kill appears in the killfeed, but the kill will still be silent and the corpse of the victim will disappear.
Non-kill disguises cost an entire Cloak meter and can not be used otherwise, while disguises from backstabs consume no Cloak at all. The Cloak drain rate is also increased by 33%. This penalty affects the Dead Ringer to a lesser degree due to its innate cloak duration bonus. If the L'Etranger is equipped, the drain penalty is nullified and the cloak duration bonus of the L'Etranger is halved.
If the player backstabs an enemy Spy who is currently disguised as a member of the player's team, the player will not receive the disguise of the player's own team member, and will instead disguise as the enemy Spy.
Taunting with Your Eternal Reward equipped will perform the Fencing kill taunt. Kills made will be silent and the victim's corpse will disappear. However, the disguise effect will not be activated even if the taunt hits the victim's back.
The kill icon for Your Eternal Reward was contributed by Psyke .

October 20, 2017 Patch (Jungle Inferno Update)
- Changed attributes:
- Removed Cannot Disguise penalty.
- Non-kill disguises require and consume a full cloak meter. Backstab-based disguises are still free.
- Increased cloak drain rate by 33%.
Notes
- Backstabbing an Engineer while he is hauling a building will result in the killfeed displaying the building's destruction to the enemy team.
Bugs
- Should the player die after switching the equipped melee from Your Eternal Reward to the Knife, respawning may not be possible until they swap classes.
- Backstabbing the person you are disguised as while they are holding their melee will occasionally cause the disguise weapon to become Your Eternal Reward.
- If the Spy backstabs an enemy who is then auto-balanced, the Spy will disguise as a friendly version of that class.
- Certain problems exist with the weapon when using DirectX 8; enemy bodies do not fade away when backstabbed, and the weapon is visible when the Spy is cloaked.
- Backstabbing a disguised Spy using Your Eternal Reward will not give the Spy achievement Counter Espionage.
- Carrying the Intelligence while disguised, which is normally impossible, can be performed by being undisguised, picking it up, and backstabbing someone at the exact same time.[1]
- Sometimes, backstabbing a robot in Mann vs. Machine will not disguise the player as the robot.
- Disguising while holding out the Dead Ringer will result in it still being held out and will show it charging. Upon it being fully charged, it will act normally. However, if the user takes damage while the uncharged Dead Ringer is active they will still receive the 75% feign damage resistance on the first hit taken.
Trivia
- Before the item was released, Robin Walker joked that Your Eternal Reward's drawback would be that it cannot facestab.[2]
- The name is a reference to a scene in the 1992 film Aladdin where Jafar fools Aladdin with his disguise and then attempts to murder him with a dagger that Jafar refers to as "Your Eternal Reward."
- The entry's description in the Polycount Contest furthers this by mentioning the phrases "Phenominal(sic), Cosmic Power", and "Diamond in the Rough", all of which are used in the movie.
