Spy 101 for Kredous

SPY DISGUISES


- Remember to do things in order : Use Dead Ringer, wait for the effect to fade (noise ends, around 1s), then

disguise. You can also run while wearing a friendly player disguise so that enemies will be less suspicious.


- Use your fast disguise key (try binding it to your mouse, so your movement left hand is free). But don't abuse it,

or people will notice that you are always using the same disguise.


- Using Scout disguise is good for a quick "go in and stab", it gives you a smaller apparent hitbox, its also good

when you uncloak in a small spot (in a bush for example).


- Pressing the "last disguise" key, and pressing 1,2,3 gives your disguise the weapons you want. Don't run around

with a melee if you are a sniper or scout, try to be smart about it. Use it in competitive to check the enemy medic's

medigun.


- Use voice commands (Medic !  Go Go Go ! ...) when disguised. Be smart about it and don't be too obvious.


- You can leech HP and ammo from enemy cart and dispenser if you are disguised as an enemy.


- Run backwards when disguised, into the enemy team. Try to act like you belong with them and don't stare at them. Be

a good actor (be breathtaking).


- Do not flinch when people are spychecking you randomly. If someone is just firing in your direction without

insisting, just take a few shots and act like you are with him, if he stops shooting you, it is almost a free

backstab, and a very believable cover.

BUT

- If someone KNOWS you are a spy and tries to kill you, don't just keep your disguise and do nothing then die.

Please....Karina. Don't. Just....don't.




SPY CLOAK



- Turning invisible / Activating DRinger makes timed effect go away faster (Jarate, Milk, Bleed, Flame...)If you are

invisible and are lit in flames or jarate, staying invisible will help you escape more unless you have no other

choices but to fight.


- Always find a safe decloak spot so people don't see you or don't hear you (you could decloak close to people if

theres a lot of explosions going on).


- Picking up metal (or ammo) from destroyed building will recharge your cloak meter (not with the Dead Ringer though,

and if using the cloak and dagger, you have to be visible in order to pick up metal.


- Staying next to a lvl 3 dispenser of the enemy team, will allow you to stay invisible forever using the

invisiwatch.


- Take advantage of invisibility to give informations about positioning, enemies jumping for suicide, or enemy

medic's uber %.




SPY SAPPER



- When destroying buildings, remember to shoot them to destroy them faster. Especially useful with teleporter. Do the

Sap, shoot, Sap, shoot, Sap rotation in order to destroy teleporters faster than engineer can repair it.


- When facing engineers with a lvl 2/3 sentry. Make sure you sap and stab, or stab and sap in the right order. If the

engineer is very close to the sentry, you can sap and immediately stab. But if there is a short distance between the

two, be ready to stab the engineer and very quickly sap the sentry before it turns 180° to shoot you down.


- In Highlander, coordinating saps on sentries can mean success with your demo/soldier/scout. Be vocal about it.




SPY REVOLVER and KNIFE



-Use your gun if you fail a stab and are in advantageous position. If you are most likely gonna fail or die, use your

watch.


-Standing still before shooting will make you more accurate if you aim at a sniper. Just keep M1 pressed so the first

2 shots are guaranteed hit in close range. And if the sniper is good and dodges the 3rd one, don't be scared to hit

him with frontstab once to finish him. No shame in that.


-Stop shooting at your French spy teacher when he explains something to you in mge map.


-Stop running around your French spy teacher when he tries to speak to you.


-Stop to stop breathing when you are about to stab someone, listen to LemonJelly - Come on repeat, relax, take a cup

of tea, and be cool, smoke some weed maybe (dont do drugs), and have fun.



Voilà !
