This is a video meant to show off the new Spy unlockables from the recent update.

The Ambassador is an .885 caliber magnum that get headshot criticals just like the Sniper Rifle. It's downside is a 15% loss in damage for non-criticals as well as -20% firing rate. When the gun is fired it generates an extreme amount of heat and requires a second to cool down. The gun can still be fired while it's hot, but cooldown is required for the gun to have the pinpoint accuracy it advertises. The info above about the bore of the gun being .885 cal. is a joke based on what I read here: http://tf2wiki.net/wiki/Ambassador

The Dead Ringer is a new spy watch which disables the standard cloaking feature in place of the ability to feign death. When the Spy is damaged, usually from a non-lethal hit, a fake corpse is thrown down and the player who dealt the "killing blow" receives a message at the top as if they had actually killed them like usual; the Spy is still alive however. After the fake body is thrown, the Spy is immediately made invisible for 8 seconds. They can uncloak before the cloak runs out, but it will still exhaust all the cloak's energy. The cloak energy must be at maximum in order to use the watch, and it doesn't take energy refills from metal pickups. The watch can also be used just as a tool to save yourself from death in all sorts of ways, such as at 4:06 in the video; extinguishing fires is also possible. If you can draw the watch in time you can save yourself and keep that round going.

The Cloak and Dagger is the second spy watch from the update. It allows the player to remain invisible forever provided they stand perfectly still. Running and jumping are the two activities that most exhaust the cloak energy. Careful crouch walking enables players to move while invisible for as long as they want, albeit at a really slow pace compared to the other watches. This watch also does not draw power from metal pickups. It's so slow, why use it? Well, why NOT? You can have a lot of helpful fun stalking the enemy team. Calling ot hazards at their base and whatnot is another thing you can do with it. It is yet another extremely useful tool if used correctly.

You'll find my previous video about the Sniper's unlockables (Save for the Razorback, sorry) in related videos. This is overall a vastly better presentation since I actually have all the unlockables. Also, I'm much better at spying than sniping, so I could command the situation in an entertaining way unlike last time. Anyway, hope you enjoyed.

  • Ambassador is based off a Dan Wesson PPC .357 magnum revolver.

    .885 isn't even a caliber. .-.

  • @JMANJMANJMANJMANJMAN I'm aware. I was trying to make this video as absorbed into TF2's dumb fictional world as possible. So I went to the TF2 Wiki article on the Ambassador and they had designated it a ridiculously high fictional caliber based on the gun's dimensions.

  • whitch do u like cloak and dagger or dead ringer?

  • Like I said, the Dead Ringer is a more practical watch with a higher learning curve while the Cloak and Dagger is the easier, more fun-to-use watch. I like both equally, but I've mostly used the Dead Ringer.
