ive noticed you cant switch your disguised weapon while using this knife. im not sure where to put this in the article, so ill write it here for someone else to add --[[User:Mewizkuit|Mewizkuit]] 07:48, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
 
:That's not a bug, it's one of the negative attributes of the knife.  You disguise as the person you kill when you kill them.-[[User:RJackson|<span style="background-color:#FF0000;color:white;font-size:0.7em;padding: 0 2px;">RJ</span>]]{{mod}} 09:17, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
 
::*Plus backstabs on Razorback Snipers allows you to disguise as one [[User:Sam-1-14|Sam-1-14]] 19:55, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
 
no, you dont seem to understand what im saying
 
normally when you're disguised, you can switch what weapon your disguise is holding by pressing quick disguise after disguised
 
with the new knife, you are unable to do this
 
i can understand that this glitch is obviously derived from the fact that you cant use the disguise-kit, but i still think switching your disguised weapon should be allowed --[[User:Mewizkuit|Mewizkuit]] 09:37, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

::: ive tried backstabbing an uber enemy to see if it had the same effect. as expected, it did. i wonder if this is a glitch or if it was intentional? --[[User:Mewizkuit|Mewizkuit]] 18:09, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

::::: sorry, i was replying to the message above yours, so i thought using one colon more than that one seemed like a more logical approach. but yes, that is how it works. i tried it on an ubercharged medic, but im sure it works the same way with other classes. --[[User:Mewizkuit|Mewizkuit]] 23:32, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
ive noticed that quite often, the swing animation for the knife doesnt show even though the sound plays (i dont know if it shows (or to be more accurate, doesnt show) for other players, but for the player swinging the knife its like this). this seems to be more common when you are actually hitting something with the knife. i dont know if this also happens when you backstab; i never bothered to pay attention. someone might want to look into that. --[[User:Mewizkuit|Mewizkuit]] 17:36, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
 
: Yeah, the first-person animation is a bit weird. --[[User:Firestorm|<font color="#FF6600"><tt><big><u>'''Firestorm'''</u></big></tt></font>]] {{mod}} 17:39, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
 
:: As I've heard, it is missing 2 out of 6 of its first person attacking animations. This needs vertification/fixing by valve.--[[User:Kurathedog|Kurathedog]] 03:25, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
with this knife equipped, you can be disguised while holding intel.
 
just make the backstab after you take the intel and you will become disguised without losing it.
 
the intel is still shown on your back to opposing players, though, so its not all that useful.
 
still, its probably a glitch --[[User:Mewizkuit|Mewizkuit]] 13:09, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
The enemy team receives a kill notification when you backstab with this weapon. Robin Walker said that this is a bug and should be fixed soon. I saw the email at the steam forum. --[[User:ShunyValdez|ShunyValdez]] 02:41, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
 
: I'm removing this from the trivia. It's been ~6 minor updates since this was posted and its still not fixed. I'm starting to doubt the email but its also possible that Valve decided its overpowered without the notification. We can put it back once its officially in-game. [[User:ShunyValdez|ShunyValdez]] 03:55, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
another problem ive noticed is that despite being called a silent killer, the spy isnt very silent when killing with it
 
he will still voice things like "oh dear, ive made quite a mess" after backstabbing, and these things can be heard by players on the opposing team that are near enough, so it makes it obvious that there is a spy around. --[[User:Mewizkuit|Mewizkuit]] 06:44, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
i dont know if this is a glitch with this knife or with the game in general, but standing in certain spots causes the knife to turn entirely grey in the first person, removing all team color from it. i say this might not be only a glitch with the knife because it seems to have something to do with lighting. can anyone confirm other weapons this happens with? --[[User:Mewizkuit|Mewizkuit]] 23:03, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
* Weapon reflecting purple/ pink void texture on the first person and play model. Any one else seen this? i've noticed it mostly on custom maps the shiney aspects of the weapon eg the blade seems to reflect the void texture and in the player veiw the whole knife appears to be purple/ pink  --[[User:pokeymeh|Pokeymeh]] 03:04, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
This might be a glitch which involves the enternal reward and the 'essential assessories'. When you backstab a scout who is wearing the 'essential assessories, you gain the disguise and his body dissappears but the socks, wrist bands and the shoes remain. Could this be a glitch or did valve intentionally did this? [[User:Skymonster|Skymonster]] 03:17, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
 
:Sorta, the code just causes the class model to disappear. Any additional items stay visible. So not a bug, but the code just wasn't fully written if you look at it that way. (as i continue to waffle) But yeah in terms of "Bugs" it is. [[File:User_M-NINJA_Signature.png|link=User:M-NINJA]] 03:20, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

== Aladdin scene from Trivia section ==
 
 
 
Could someone who has watched the movie tell me when is that scene played? I need to watch just that scene to hear the same line in Polish so I can retrieve the name (as it's referenced from that scene). I don't want to watch the whole movie, I don't have time. [[User:Uzikus|Uzikus]] 10:04, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
 
: Right after Aladdin has picked up the lamp and the cave starts to collapse. They reach the entrance barely and he hands the lamp to Jafar in disguise (That old man is a Spy!). The scene plays right after that as soon as Jafar grabs Aladdin's arm and you hear 'what are you doing?' or something to that extent.--[[User:Focusknock|Focusknock]] 10:16, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
 
:: I actually meant the exact time of the scene, but I found it anyway. Cheers. [[User:Uzikus|Uzikus]] 10:19, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
== Medics and ER ==
 
 
 
If I backstab someone being healed by a medic with the ER, does the medic automatically heal me, or does the healing stop and the medic has to manually start healing me again? [[User:Thunder9092|Thunder9092]] 00:38, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
 
: the heal beam will automatically be transferred to you, so no the medic doesnt have to start manually healing you again. --[[User:Mewizkuit|Mewizkuit]] 07:15, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
 
:: okay thanks. It seemed like if that was not the case then it would be a very obvious way to find a spy and would make taking out medic-partners very hard. [[User:Thunder9092|Thunder9092]] 17:22, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
== Arena Mode and Disguise Kit ==
 
Im just wondering about this: "Sometimes in Arena Gamemode, a Spy carrying Your Eternal Reward will recieve a Disguise Kit at the start of the round(the rate is 50% of all rounds)." wouldn't this be a bug, and shouldn't it say so somewhere? also wondering where the 50% came from as well [[User:Scatmanjohn|Scatmanjohn]] 18:41, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
 
: That requires testing, I'll remove it until proof is obtained --[[User:Firestorm|<span style="text-shadow:orange 0px 0px 3px;"><font color="#FF6600"><tt><big><u>'''Firestorm'''</u></big></tt></font>]] {{mod}}</span> 18:42, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
== Featured Article? ==
 
 
 
I believe Your Eternal Reward is a great weapon, and this article covers it extremely well. I suggest that it should become a {{Featured article candidate}}. Is there anything stopping it from doing so? [[User:Eat my soup|Eat my soup]] 07:01, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
== Domination/Revenge lines not playing ==
 
 
 
Happens regardless of weapons used.

== Defending The Intelligence With YER ==
 
 
 
What happens if you backstab a player carrying the intelligence? The enemy team isn't supposed to be able to see your kill on the kill feed; but they're able to see that you defended the intelligence? Or does your defense of the intelligence also not show up on the kill feed? [[User:Elen Sila|Elen Sila]] 01:09, 13 December 2011 (PST)
 
 
 
== I think I heard something... ==
 
 
 
I noticed that kils made with this knife are not 100% silent. In the demonstration video you can hear the ragdolls hitting the ground. It's that very distinctive 'splat' commonly used in source games. That sound saved me from a spy once, as I turned around just to see a spy stabbing me. I know it's a minor thing, but maybe we could add it to trivia or bugs or something. The 'splat' of the victim collapsing is not loud, but can attract attention when not drowned out by other sounds. I noticed it because it was out of context: Not hearing or seeing gunfire and then some body hits the floor nearby.
 
The video also shows that the weapon the victim was holding does not turn invisible. Both of these cues might just reveal the spy if witnesses keep their wits about them. I always try to do that when playing as a medic. [[User:K-Raider NL|K-Raider NL]] 07:41, 16 April 2012 (PDT)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
: Yes, I've noticed this as well.  In fact, on my previous computer, the body didn't cloak at all. I would stab someone, and they would begin the cloaking process, and blink back to 0% transparency.  Must of been my graphics, because it works on my new one.  In addition to the weapon not cloaking, blood can still be left after a spy stabs someone. [[User:Alloid|Alloid]] 10:49, 1 November 2012 (PDT)
 
 
 
==Mod Server Gameplay Mechanic==
 
So I had added this blurb to the Trivia section, specifically to that section because it only occurs on mod servers...
 
* On servers with mods that grant players impossible amounts of health, mods like rtd (Roll the Dice) and [[VS Saxton Hale]]/[[Freak Fortress 2]], it is possible to backstab a player and disguise as their base class without killing them.
 
...only to have it removed fairly quickly. I feel that it's appropriate because it IS a mechanic, even if the majority of servers will never experience it. I don't want to get into an edit war so I'm posting here -- for the sake of completion, it fits in just as well in the Trivia section as the blurbs in that section that have nothing to do with gameplay at all.
