The Ambassador is an unlockable primary weapon for the Spy. It is a large-barreled revolver with a deep red rosewood grip. Inscribed on the barrel is the likeness of the Scout's mother.
The weapon has lower base damage and fires at a slower rate than the default Revolver, but deals critical hits on a headshot and has perfect accuracy for shots fired at slower intervals. A short period after firing, however, the weapon has greatly decreased accuracy, as indicated by an enlarged crosshair in the HUD, and does not headshot for critical damage even if the bullets make contact. The weapon is thus most appropriate for use in situations where the wielder can avoid damage after attacking (such as when finishing off enemies).
The Ambassador is automatically given to any player who obtains 5 Spy achievements.

Bugs
- This weapon does not have a modeled or textured barrel, which can be seen during the reload animation. Additionally, the cylinder does not rotate when fired and the bullets do not visibly exit the chamber (which is visible at a high viewmodel FOV setting) nor does its hammer move. This specific problem is also prevalent with the Big Kill and L'Etranger.
- Unlike the default Revolver, the Spy does not actually "reload" this weapon; instead he simply opens the cylinder and then closes it again. No bullets are ejected or replaced and no hand comes up to reload the weapon. Like the other graphical bugs, this issue persists on both the Big Kill and L'Etranger.
- Crouching with this weapon does not change the 1st-person view, but shown in 3rd-person view as if the spy is holding the gun with both his hands. This graphical issue also applys to the Revolver and L'Etranger
Trivia
- A version of the Ambassador headshot icon appears in the game files, which was never used in-game.
- Two team-colored Ambassadors appear as the backpack icon for the Dueling Mini Game.
- The Russian translation of the Ambassador's page for the Sniper vs. Spy Update claims the Ambassador uses .50 caliber rounds.
