I never really was on your side.
The Spy

The Disguise Kit (also known as the Spytron 3000) is a PDA weapon for the Spy. It appears as an ordinary cigarette case that contains hidden spytech as well as cigarettes.

Selecting this weapon allows the player to disguise as any class on either team. When selected, the disguise menu fills most of the screen, making in game movements difficult. Players can select classes with the correct keys, and switch teams with a single key. Disguising is carried out over a couple of seconds, during which smoke particles will surround the Spy if viewed by another player. Once finished, a line drawing of the Spy shows up briefly on the player's screen to indicate a successful disguise. This line drawing also appears when the disguise is broken. Pressing the last disguise button (PC version) allows the player to change their disguised weapon to one from the slot they currently have equipped.

When disguising, the Disguise Kit chooses a random (in the PC version) player of the appropriate team and class and mimics their name, Health at the time of disguising and weapon loadout. This information is displayed in the lower left corner of the HUD.

In the PC version, once disguised as the enemy, you can see enemies' current health and name as if you were looking at an ally. You can also see the status of any enemy Medics currently healing you.

Function times

Approximately 2 seconds to switch disguises.
