==Dead Ringer Critical Error==
+
{{Talk archive
it seems that [[User_talk:Hinaomi|Hinaomi]] has a history of reverting people's bugs and errors without consent and with complete disregard for his fellow wikians (just look at his talk page). The dead ringer has a serious error that gives every player the ability to know when he feigns death. I made a critical bugs section that I believe should be distinguished from the "casual bugs" that do not impact major aspects of gameplay. If these edit wars continue I ask that an admin will get involved and arbitrate a solution. --[[User:Wennerj|Wennerj]] 11:11, 3 July 2012 (PDT)

So, there is a major issue I found when testing out my dead ringer. when I had it out and a spy would backstab me, I would die this might just be that it is an instant kill but I have not tested it out on a sniper headshot. if someone reads this, test it with the sniper headshot and tell me what happens [[User:Thevillager681|Thevillager681]] ([[User talk:Thevillager681|talk]]) 20:15, 14 October 2023 (UTC)

:It is very obvious that this would not be a one-hit kill, and thus, a proven spy-checking tactic. Of course, the chances of a spy being disguised with the Zatoichi on his team are very slim.
 
 
 
== Sound/volume levels? ==
 
 
 
I know that the DR uncloak sound is louder than the others, but I'd like to know by how much, and how much the Saharan Spy set mutes it. The file scripts/game_sounds_player.txt says that a normal uncloak is 100% volume with 85dB falloff (attenuation; how much quieter the sound gets with distance), and the feign death uncloak is 70% volume with a 75dB falloff. It also says that a "reduced" uncloak is 50% volume with a 40dB falloff, but that may not be for the DR.
 
 
 
Where should this info go on the page, if at all? Should it be added to the other "watch" pages too?

== Hummingbird Engraving ==
 
 
 
Does anyone know why there is a hummingbird engraved on the Dead Ringer? The closest reason I could get was that decloaking sounds similar to to the "Highland Park Hummingbird", Chrysler's gear-reduction starter motor, introduced in the early 1960s. However some other research shows that hummingbirds are a symbol for eternity since they beat their wings in the pattern of an infinity symbol. But this is contradicted by the fact that hummingbirds are also a symbol for joy and happiness (Not exactly the Spy's forte).

Dead Ringer Issue

So, there is a major issue I found when testing out my dead ringer. when I had it out and a spy would backstab me, I would die this might just be that it is an instant kill but I have not tested it out on a sniper headshot. if someone reads this, test it with the sniper headshot and tell me what happens Thevillager681 (talk) 20:15, 14 October 2023 (UTC)

Spy's knife does 600% of the target's current health and its meant to instakill anyone not under the effect of an Uber. This is not an issue with the Dead Ringer, simply the way backstabs work. Sniper's headshot does normal critical damage (triple the amount of an ordinary shot) and can be survived. Lord of Dominating (talk) 20:22, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
The Dead Ringer doesn't guarantee to survive something that should have killed you, it simply reduces the damage taken.
