L'Étranger (Pronounced Lay-tron-jay) is a craftable primary weapon for the Spy class. It is a stylish Revolver with an ivory handle design. Although the weapon is used in the primary slot and craftable as a primary weapon, the Mann Co. Catalog lists it as a secondary weapon. Crafting with the weapon also treats it as secondary.
This weapon deals 20% less damage than the default Revolver, instead it fills the Spy's Cloak meter by 15% with each hit on an enemy. This applies to whatever type of watch is being used by the player.
