Your Eternal Reward is a community-made melee weapon for the Spy. It appears as a long, ornate dagger with distinct oriental designs. It features a team-colored wooden handle and a curved golden hilt.

This weapon retains the backstab ability inherent to the Knife, but with additional features. Should the player successfully execute a backstab, the Spy will instantaneously disguise as the target without the "puffs of smoke" disguise effect. Furthermore, the enemy will not scream in pain as usual, no death notice or kill icon will be displayed to the enemy team, and the corpse of the victim will fade away almost instantly as if they are cloaking. The process is so fast that the Spy is never revealed between disguises; he swaps instantly to the new one. Sentry Guns will therefore be unable to target the Spy during the process, making it easier to backstab unaware Engineers and sap their Sentry Gun. Upon backstabbing someone who is being healed by a Medic, the healing beam will automatically transfer to the Spy. Together, these effects make backstabs increasingly difficult to spot, as victims disappear silently with the Spy instantly taking their place in battle.

The disguise effect is not activated upon a successful backstab if the target does not die; if they are invulnerable or wearing a Razorback, for example. As such, disguising as allied players is not possible. Kills made without backstabbing will not disguise the Spy, yet the kill will be silent and the corpse will disappear. Returning to a resupply locker will remove the current disguise on the Spy.

Due to the fact that disguises are reliant upon kills using the weapon, the player will be unable to disguise normally at will using the Disguise Kit, which does not appear in the inventory. The player retains the ability to change their disguise weapon using the lastdisguise command, however. Players must rely on extended use of Cloaking to move around undetected until they locate a susceptible target.

Taunting with the Your Eternal Reward equipped allows the Spy to perform a deadly Fencing maneuver. Kills made this way will be silent and the victim's corpse will disappear, But the disguise effect will not be activated, even if the taunt hits the victim's back.

The kill icon for the Your Eternal Reward was contributed by HyenaDip.

Update history

September 30, 2010 Patch (Mann-Conomy Update)
  • Your Eternal Reward was added to the game.

October 6, 2010 Patch

  • The auto disguise effect is fixed to only occur when the target does not survive the backstab.
  • Disguising will no longer occur when the Spy is carrying the Intelligence.

October 8, 2010 Patch

  • [Undocumented] This weapon was added to the crafting blueprint for the Familiar Fez.

December 17, 2010 Patch (Australian Christmas)

  • Spies can now change their disguise weapon via 'lastdisguise' while using 'Your Eternal Reward'.
  • Already-disguised Your Eternal Reward Spies are no longer forced to switch to displaying the melee weapon when they make a kill.
  • Spies no longer play speech lines when making a kill with this weapon.
  • Sentry Guns no longer track Your Eternal Reward Spies after they backstab someone.

January 7, 2011 Patch

  • Fixed enemies seeing death notices when you backstab their team mates with Your Eternal Reward.
  • Fixed the attack animation not always playing correctly for this weapon.

February 14, 2011 Patch

  • Fixed melee attacks not destroying remote detonation pipes (Stickybombs).
  • Fixed players getting set bonuses applied on tournament servers when the server is restricting the player's weapons using the item_whitelist.

March 15, 2011 Patch

July 22, 2011 Patch

  • [Undocumented] The silent killer attribute wording was changed from "This weapon is a silent killer" to "Silent Killer: No attack noise from backstabs".
  • [Undocumented] Your Eternal Reward no longer defaults to the disguise's stock primary weapon after a backstab. It will now properly show an unlockable primary weapon if the victim was using one.

Bugs

  • There are multiple issues with the weapon in first person view; it clips through the Spy's fingers when drawn, the unfolding Knife sound is played during the draw animation, and the handle clips through the sleeve.
  • Should the player die after switching Your Eternal Reward to the Knife, respawning may not be possible until they swap classes.
  • Being auto-balanced or team-switched while holding Your Eternal Reward will cause the player to respawn with both the Disguise Kit and Your Eternal Reward equipped. Additionally, switching to the default Knife after switching teams once dead will result in the Disguise Kit being unavailable. These problems can be fixed upon death or accessing a Resupply Cabinet.
  • Should Your Eternal Reward be used to backstab 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.
  • Upon an enemy being stabbed with the weapon, the ragdoll will fade away, but any items attached directly to the player model will remain behind, suspended in midair. This applies to any shields, bugle weapons, Miscellaneous items, and shoes.
  • Backstabbing anyone (who is not of the same class as the Spy's disguise) will instantly disguise the Spy as that class holding their primary weapon instead of their currently equipped weapon.
  • Backstabbing a disguised Spy using Your Eternal Reward will not give the achievement Counter Espionage.
  • If a player raises the knife to stab and then switches their view to any world geometry, the knife will remain raised.[1]
  • Carrying the Intelligence while disguised can still be performed upon acquiring it and backstabbing at the exact same time.[2]

Trivia

  • Before the item was released, Robin Walker joked that Your Eternal Reward's drawback would be that it cannot facestab.[3]
  • The name is a reference to a scene in the 1992 film Aladdin[4], where Jafar fools Aladdin with his disguise and then attempts to murder him with a dagger.
    • The entry's description in the Polycount Contest furthers this by mentioning the phrases "Phenominal [sic], Cosmic Power" and "Diamond in the Rough", both of which are used in the movie.
  • Your Eternal Reward shares the identity theft ability with the Knife from the Half-Life 2 mod Template:W. However in Fortress Forever, the Spy retains his disguise ability, and must land a single backstab while already disguised in order to take on the disguise of his victim.
