The Ambassador is an unlockable primary weapon for the Spy class. It is a relatively large Revolver, consisting of a shiny metallic barrel and deep red rosewood grip. Inscribed on the barrel is a likeliness of the Scout's mother.
Despite having the same ammo count and less damage dealing capabilities than the default Revolver, the weapon's accuracy is akin to the Sniper Rifle. A direct headshot made with the Ambassador will result in a guaranteed Critical hit; otherwise, the weapon will never deal random Critical hits. After each shot, the accuracy is temporarily decreased, as indicated by an enlarged crosshair. During this period, the weapon will be unable to score a critical headshot, even if fired at point blank range. Players must therefore choose their shots wisely.

Previous Changes
- Recently, the Ambassador's headshot kill icon was changed to match the Sniper Rifle's headshot kill icon.
- The August 21 has since fixed the lack of damage falloff.
Trivia
- The bore of this weapon has been estimated to be .885 cal., although the cylinder size is smaller and suggests a .450 round.
- The Ambassador has a golden trigger, a possible nod to the Golden Gun from the James Bond movies.
- The Ambassador does not have a barrel modelled or textured, which can be seen during reload. 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).
- On Day 6 of the Spy vs Sniper update page, the Ambassador advertisement bears striking similarity to the pose used in several James Bond film posters. The difference being that the Spy is left-handed in the ad, and Bond appears right-handed. But also note that, in-game, the Spy is typically right-handed.
- An unused alternate version of the Ambassador headshot icon appears in the game files, seen to the right.
- The Ambassador's handle is red no matter which team you are on because it has a rosewood grip, yet the Dueling Mini-Game's icon depicts one with a blue handle as well as one with a red handle.
