The Big Earner is a melee weapon for the Spy. It is a Template:W dagger with three small bands of blood-stained tape wrapped near the base of the blade. It will be released with the Über Update.
Equipping this weapon reduces the user's max health by 25, lowering the Spy's overall health to 100. Killing an enemy with this weapon will fill the Spy's Cloak meter by 30%, regardless of which cloaking device is equipped or method of killing.
