The '''Spy''' is a [[Classes#Support|support class]] from France, with years of experience in espionage, deception, and sabotage. He is a specialist support class armed with a variety of tools to infiltrate and eliminate enemies, as well as a smug, sarcastic attitude.  


Specializing in deception and assassination, the Spy has an array of specialized tools dedicated to infiltrating the enemy team, most notably his [[Disguise Kit]] and [[Invis Watch]], which allows him to as a friendly teammate to enemies and go invisible respectively. To eliminate his enemies, he has a powerful [[Revolver]] and a delicate butterfly [[Knife]], allowing him to gun down weak enemies or instantly kill them from behind with a backstab. In addition, he has a [[Sapper]], which allows him to disable buildings and drain them of health, allowing him or his team to swoop in and destroy them with ease, though the [[Sapper]] can be removed with the [[Engineer]]s [[Wrench]].  
Using his [[#Watch|cloaking watches]], he can become fully invisible, allowing him to infiltrate the enemy base without getting detected. His [[Disguise Kit]] lets him disguise as any class on any team, which allows him to blend in with enemy teams. He can use his [[Revolver]] to defend himself and pick off enemies from long range, or his [[Knife]] to instantly kill them from behind with a backstab. With his [[Tranquilizer Gun]], he can [[tranquilize]] his victim and finish them off with his Knife. In addition, he has the [[Sapper]], which he can use to disable Engineer-constructed [[buildings]] and drain them of health, allowing him or his team to swoop in and destroy them with ease. However, Sappers can be destroyed by [[Engineers]] using the [[Wrench]].


The Spy's gameplay loop often consists of the Spy using his [[Invis Watch]] to move behind the enemy team, where he then uses his [[Disguise Kit]] to blend in with the enemy team before decloaking. After decloaking, he then moves within the enemy teams territory to find a suitable target, often a [[Sniper]], [[Heavy]], or [[Medic]]. He then uses his [[Knife]] to instantly kill the enemy from behind, losing his cloak in to process and cloaking away to repeat the process. In the event that the Spy is caught by an enemy, or he sees an enemy on low health at a distance, he can use his [[Revolver]] to defend himself or pick the enemy off from a long range. When approaching [[Engineer]] nests, the Spy will either sap the buildings first before attempting to gun down or backstab the [[Engineer]], or backstab the [[Engineer]] before sapping his buildings, effectively destroying the nest if another [[Engineer]] does not step in to unsap the buildings with his [[Wrench]].
The Spy can also use enemy [[Dispenser|Dispensers]] while disguised and enemy [[Teleporters]] or [[Jump Pads]] at any time. This allows him to replenish health and ammo behind enemy lines and [[Teleporter#Telefrag|telefrag]] enemies standing on a Teleporter exit, or [[Jump Pads#Stomping|stomp]] unsuspecting enemies by landing on them.
 
The Spy can use his unique ability, Spywalk (default: {{code|Shift}}), to move at his usual movement speed while disguised. This can be helpful for catching up to enemies who run faster than the Spy's disguise class. However, this puts the player at risk of getting caught due to the Spy running faster than his disguise victim. This can be inverted in the Options menu so the Spy always runs at his usual speed and only slows down when pressing down the Spywalk button.
