The Spy-cicle is a community-created melee weapon for the Spy. It is a long, light blue Template:W. Its name is a portmanteau of the words Spy and Icicle.

Whilst having the same damage and speed capabilities as the Knife, kills made with the Spy-cicle will be silent and turn the victim into solid ice, similar to Australium-infused weapons. In addition, if the Spy is hit by fire with the weapon active, it will melt and instantly extinguish the Spy while rendering him immune to any further fire and afterburn for 2 seconds. The effect is fast enough that a Cloaked Spy will remain undamaged and undetected even under point-blank Flamethrower fire, only taking damage from the first flame particle. However, the melted icicle is rendered unusable in the process, taking 15 seconds to regenerate.

The Spy-cicle was contributed to the Steam Workshop under the name "The Cold Shoulder".

Update history

December 15, 2011 Patch (Australian Christmas 2011)

  • The Spy-cicle was added to the game.

Bugs

  • If struck by fire while taunting with this weapon, the player will have continuous fire resistance bonus (only being able to be struck by fire every 2 seconds). This will continue until the player switches weapons, touches a resupply cabinet, or is struck by another weapon.
  • A knife will not respawn with the player. In order to receive a new knife after death, the player must touch a resupply cabinet or wait for the meter to fill.
  • In some cases, the frost effect that is supposed to surround the Spy-cicle is found at the Spy's feet.

Unused content

  • There is a unique draw sound effect for this weapon that is unused.

Trivia

  • The Heavy has a unique backstab animation for this weapon; he shivers as he turns to ice.
  • If hit by a source of Fire in Medieval Mode, such as from a Sharpened Volcano Fragment, the Spy will instantly obtain a new Spy-cicle for use.
