Feign Death is an ability in Team Fortress Classic that is used by the Spy. When used, the Spy lies on the ground as if he were dead, while either emitting a death scream or remaining silent, depending on the player's discretion. The Spy can look around while using this ability, but cannot move. Looking around while feigning death will result in the Spy's head moving. The Spy's body does not disappear when feign death is used and can therefore be collided with, as with an enemy. This allows enemies to detect the Spy. The Spy is unable to stand if someone is on top of his faux corpse, allowing any enemy to restrict his ability to fight back or run away.

The Feign Death ability was recreated in Team Fortress 2 via the Dead Ringer, but works differently than the original ability from Team Fortress Classic.

Bugs

  • As a Spy, feign death as close as possible to a Dispenser, then have a friendly Engineer build a teleporter exit. Have the Engineer stand on the Dispenser and build the entrance on top of your body. This will cause you to go through the teleporter and move around as a dead body, as you normally wouldn't be able to use the teleporter while feigning death. There is no Cloak
