Your Eternal Reward

“

Promise not to bleed on my suit, and I'll kill you quickly. Click to listen — The Spy

”

Your Eternal Reward is an unlockable, community-made weapon added in the Polycount Update that replaces the Spy's Knife. It appears as a long, ornate dagger. Landing an attack on an enemy's back will backstab them, killing the target in one hit and disguising the Spy instantaneously as the target. The target will not scream in pain as they usually do from a backstab and their corpse will fade away almost instantly, as if they are cloaking, giving the illusion that the Spy is taking their place. The disguise is so fast that Sentry Guns won't target the Spy who backstabbed.

Damage

• Base: 40 (28-54 damage)
• Mini-Crit: 54
• Critical hit: 120, but only during Humiliation, charged via Kritzkrieg or during Crit boost given after capturing the Intelligence.
• Backstab: 600% of the enemy's current health resulting in an instant kill if stabbed in the back (An arc of approximately 180° behind the player model).

Note: Damages are approximate and determined by community testing.

Function times

• Attack Interval: 0.8

All times are in seconds. Times are approximate and determined by community testing.

• The name is a reference to a scene in the 1992 film Aladdin.

• This is furthered by the entry's description mentioning the phrases "Phenominal[sic] Cosmic Power" and "Diamond in the Rough", both of which are used in the movie
