The Spy is a cunning, swift espionage bent on stabbing everyone's back. He has a slim shape with a poor amount of health, but has a devastating melee attack, requiring the deceptive nature of his.

General

  • The Spy should always be looked. He could be any where and any one. So check first before you explore.
  • As a Sniper, use your Jarate to uncloak a spy for you or your teammates to finish off.
  • When spotting a spy, alert your team and try to chase down the spy before he cause any more damage.
  • As a Sniper, checking your back and surrounding area will likely save you from dying.
  • As a Pyro, you are task to exterminate any spy by lighting them on fire.
