— The Spy on reverse-engineering
|
” |
The Red-Tape Recorder is a community-created promotional building weapon for the الجاسوس. It is a reel-to-reel tape recorder with three Chinese characters ("反炮塔", fǎnpàotǎ) on the front printed on a frayed, white label. Translated into English, these characters can be closely translated as "Anti-Turret (Device)" or "Anti-Sentry (Device)".
Instead of damaging enemy buildings, the Red-Tape Recorder reverses the building process; any applicable upgrade animations are played in reverse, followed by the building packing itself up into a toolbox. As a result, this destroys the building and leaves the toolbox behind as a large ammo pickup with no Metal, instead of dropping gibs. Destroying the Recorder allows the building to reconstruct, but not restore any lost levels, unless the building is in the middle of an upgrade animation, which allows it to continue upgrading to the next level. If a Dispenser starts deconstructing to below its level 1 state, it loses any Metal stored within it.
The Red-Tape Recorder has five different sounds for when it is sapping a building. The type of sound produced is randomized. It may play either a high-pitched rewind sound, a slightly lower-pitched rewind sound, high-pitched gibberish, a short recording in Cantonese, or a short recording in English.
Sapped Sentry Guns take 33% less damage from the Spy who applied the Sapper, for example when shooting it with a Revolver. Dispensers and Teleporters are unaffected by this.
This weapon functions the same way as the default Sapper against robots in Mann vs. Machine.
This item was awarded in Genuine quality to players who pre-purchased Sleeping Dogs on Steam before August 14, 2012, or August 17, 2012 in Europe.
The Red-Tape Recorder was later contributed to the Steam Workshop, at Valve's request.

Notes
- If a sapped building does not start with full health or is damaged during the deconstruction process, it reaches 0 health before the deconstruction animation completes, which interrupts the animation and "snaps" it into the toolbox state.
Bugs
- If a Teleporter Entrance is sapped by the Red-Tape Recorder, and the Red-Tape Recorder is removed in-between upgrade animations, the arrow pointing to the Exit Teleporter is removed.
- If the Red-Tape Recorder is placed on and removed from a building that is still under construction, it deals some damage to the building, making a contradiction of its description.
- Removing the Red-Tape Recorder from built Dispensers or Teleporters immediately reactivates them, while they play their re-constructing animations.
- The Red-Tape Recorder does not glow when crit boosted.
- If a Robot is sapped using the Red-Tape Recorder, the Red-Tape Recorder appears invisible.
Trivia
- This weapon's name references the term "red tape", which refers to bureaucracy that hinders or prevents action or decision-making.
- The Cantonese phrases directly translate to "That's him! Quick, get him!"
- As the Red-Tape Recorder's sapping sounds are meant to replicate the effect of overspeeding a tape reel player, slowing the playback down reveals the source sound:
