Compared to the [[Invis Watch]], the L'escampette increases the speed of it's user while cloaked at the cost of a faster cloak drain rate. This tradeoff allows the Spy to move into position or escape a sticky situation at great speed. However, the Spy must not move predictably, as any damage dealt while invisible will drain 15% of his cloak. Picking up ammo crates while cloaked will refill the meter. | Compared to the [[Invis Watch]], the L'escampette increases the speed of it's user while cloaked at the cost of a faster cloak drain rate.

The L'escampette is made for escaping situations, hence it's name. Because of this watch's faster cloak drain rate, you need to get into position quickly, as being hit will remove 15% of your current cloak. It is also possible to reach even farther distances by alternatively jumping and activating the cloak, the Spy using this watch can go even farther in the same cloak. | |||

* The word "<span lang="fr">escampette</span>" comes from the old fashioned French idiom "<span lang="fr">prendre la poudre d'escampette</span>" ("to take the powder of 'escampette'"), which means "to escape". The word itself isn't really used in any other context in the language, and can be roughly translated to "little escape" or "little getaway". | * The word "<span lang="fr">escampette</span>" comes from the old fashioned French idiom "<span lang="fr">prendre la poudre d'escampette</span>" ("to take the powder of 'escampette'"), which means "to escape".
