Upon taunting with the Knife or Your Eternal Reward equipped, the Spy begins to practice a deadly fencing maneuver, resulting in damage or death for anyone slow, unaware or simply unfortunate enough to be in the way.
Enemies hit by the first two initial swipes will suffer minimal damage and will recieve knockback, whereas the last thrust is an instant kill. The taunt can kill multiple enemies if it connects on both the stabs and thrusts. Fencing can also destroy buildings upon impact.
Due to the length of the taunt, it is recommended to be used safely against oblivious targets. The first two swipes, however, will no doubt alert the enemy of the taunt and give them sufficient time to avoid it. Should it be performed around a corner, it must be executed early if there is any chance for the final thrust to make contact.
The taunt animation exists in the 360 and PS3 versions of the game but does not cause any damage, as before the Sniper and Spy update for the PC version.
