The Ambassador is an unlockable primary weapon for the Spy class. It is a relatively large Revolver which consists 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, this weapon deals less damage and fires at a slower rate than the default Revolver, making it a disadvantaged weapon during open combat. The main advantage of the weapon is that its 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 in the HUD. 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
- The weapon no longer has the lack of damage falloff.
- The weapon now only Crits when fully accurate (after cooldown) and no longer penetrates enemies.
- Headshots by the weapon no longer deal Mini-Crits, but Critical hits instead.
- The Ambassador's headshot kill icon was changed to match the Sniper Rifle's headshot kill icon.
Bugs
- Like L'Etranger, the weapon does not have a modeled or textured barrel, 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) nor does its hammer move. This specific problem is also prevalent with the Big Kill and L'Etranger.
- Unlike the default Revolver, the Spy does not actually "reload" this weapon; instead he simply opens the cylinder and then closes it again. No bullets are ejected or replaced and no hand comes up to reload the weapon. Like the other graphical bugs, this issue persists on both the Big Kill and L'Etranger.
Trivia
Headshot kill icon used until Engineer Update
Headshot kill icon, never used
- Killing an enemy with a headshot from the Ambassador produced its own unique kill icon, which was changed to the Sniper Rifle icon in the Engineer Update.
- Another version of the Ambassador headshot icon appears in the game files, which was never used in-game.
- Two Team-Colored Ambassadors appear as the backpack icon for the Dueling Mini Game.
- There is an alternate reload animation for this weapon as seen here
