The Spy's stock ranged weapon, the Revolver serves as a reliable way to fend off enemies who are at a range, and also often serves as an excellent backup plan for failed [[backstab]] attempts, however, it's purpose is not for attacking, as it has some downsides compared to other weapons, an example being the [[Ambassador]].

The Spy

The Revolver is the default secondary weapon for the Spy. It is a stylized double-action, six-shot revolver with ivory grips and a swing-out cylinder.

The Spy's only ranged weapon, the Revolver serves as a reliable way to fend off enemies from a distance, and also often serves as a backup plan for failed backstab attempts or as a means to finish off low-health enemies.

Like the Pistol and SMG, the Revolver fires a single, perfectly accurate shot before "bullet spread" takes effect. Waiting 1.25 seconds will reset the accuracy and provide another accurate shot.
