“

This Spy has already breached our defenses... You've seen what he's done to our colleagues! And worst of all: He could be any one of us. — The BLU Spy on the RED Spy

”

The Spy, hailing from an indeterminate region of France, is a fan of sharp suits and even sharper knives who relies on stealth and trickery to aid the team. Using his unique array of cloaking watches, he can render himself invisible or even fake his own death, leaving unaware opponents off-guard. His Disguise Kit lets him take on the form of any class on either side, allowing him to blend in while behind enemy lines before literally stabbing his unsuspecting 'teammates' in the back. In fact, a swift backstab with the Spy's trusty Knife will take out any foe in a single hit.

In addition to being able to assassinate key enemies quickly and efficiently, the Spy has advantages over the Engineer. Using his Sappers, he can disable the Engineer's buildings – slowly draining their health until they are destroyed unless removed by an Engineer or a Pyro wielding the Homewrecker or Maul. He can also make use of enemy teleporters to surprise (and maybe even telefrag) his foes.

Two other common Spy targets are the Heavy and the Medic. While a Heavy has one of his Miniguns spun up, he moves at a far slower speed than normal – this slower move speed along with the distraction of combat makes for an easy opportunity for a backstab. Medics must focus on their healing target, which also leaves them vulnerable to backstabs. Snipers are also obvious Spy targets due to their slower movement speed and lack of nearby awareness when scoped into their Sniper Rifles. Snipers can use a Razorback to defend themselves from a single backstab, which also stuns the offending Spy.

Whereas most players can only see the names and health of teammates, the Spy can observe the names and healths of the enemy team as well, allowing him to relay useful intelligence. Only a Medic carrying the Solemn Vow shares this ability.

The Spy is voiced by Dennis Bateman.

Bio

Name: Unknown Location of origin: France Job: Uncloak & Dagger Motto: "..." Contraptions: Disguise Kit / Cloaking Watch Emblems:    Description: He is a puzzle, wrapped in an enigma, shrouded in riddles, lovingly sprinkled with intrigue, express mailed to Mystery, Alaska, and LOOK OUT BEHIND YOU! but it is too late. You're dead. For he is the Spy - globetrotting rogue, lady killer (metaphorically) and mankiller (for real).

Basic strategy

Main articles: Spy tips, Spy strategy

• Use your Knife to backstab enemies from behind, killing them instantly.
• Disguise yourself as an enemy with your Disguise Kit. Beware, attacking will remove your disguise.
• Hit MOUSE2 to Cloak and become fully invisible for a short period of time. Note that bumping in to people will reveal you'r silhouette.
• Use your Cloak to get behind enemy lines, and your disguise to move around amongst them.
• Try to act like an enemy while disguised. Observe where enemy team members are, and disguise as one of them.
• Place your Electro Sappers on enemy Sentry Guns to destroy them. Disguises aren't lost when placing Sappers.
• Your Electro Sappers disable Sentry Guns before destroying them. Sap a Sentry Gun before attacking the Engineer.
• Call for enemy Medics by hitting E while disguised.
• Disguise yourself somewhere hidden. Try to disguise yourself in the enemy base.
• When disguised, avoid looking directly at or walking toward enemies.
• Try to not run into the same person you are disguised as.
• Press E to call for a Medic if you get hurt. Nearby Medics will be notified of your need.
• If you are quick enough you can back stab the engineer first and sap his sentry. He won't expect you therefore you've got the element of surprise!

• While disguised, you can see the health of the enemy. Use your revolver to pick off weaker enemies.
