My favorite "Spy has a gun" moment has to be a time when I was playing as Medic and charging towards a de-cloaked Spy who I had cornered in a building with my Ubersaw out. The Spy proceeded to moonwalk into the corner and shot me until I was dead before giving me a freeze-frame taught, laughing. My lesson was that Medic has a crossbow, but my weakness is that whenever I see Spy, I see free uber-charge.

So I play with my husband, and the advice he gave me for the disguise was to not overthink it and remember to put your back to the enemy because turning your back on "your own" teammates goes unnoticed because you're supposed to trust them. He said what tends gives spies away to good players is that they won't turn their back on them, which is suspicious. I probably didn't explain that very well, but it seemed worth mentioning.

It gives off the visual entertainment that improved my learning experience and make me laugh occasionally as I rewatch them… for this video: it’s the Disguise Kit part when the noob Spy says that “disguises don’t fool good players” and then Jonto’s spy gives off a “Oh really?” smile and that hand gesture… That expression Jonto gave himself made me laugh. (Who else is here for the animation?)

Something I'd like to add! To best fool people with your disguise, play as the other classes. Playing as the other classes for awhile, ya learn their movement styles, i.e Demo will usually be strafing back an forth near the back/middle of a group during combat if they're using their GL and Soldiers tend to jump around....ALOT....it gives them a good angle on their rockets when firing at someones feet. An pay attention to who gets spy checked often, like a Pyro with their flamethrower out is almost 100% to get spy checked an that precent goes WAY down if you have your disguise equip a secondary or melee wep. Stuff like that. Also, helps to have a round missing from your revolver if your trying to infiltrate. When you reload your revolver, the disguise also reloads. an best part? You can change your disguises weapon by pulling out the slotted wep/item an hitting a button (I have mine set to C key, but you can change it to anything). Hope this helps! (PS. I am NOT a spy main, but this is stuff I picked up from playing for years)

Awesome. I'd also like to mention, I feel like stabbing people and taking down buildings is secondary to Spy's ability to cause chaos and distract the enemy. If I had to describe the process of playing him, it's popping in and out of existance for any opprotunity. As for disguises, the way I'd describe using them is like having a sort of "mental protection." This isn't protection like resistence and overheal, it's more like just one less reason for the enemy to istantly shoot you. If you obviously run directly at them or they're already spy checking, that protection is non-existent beyond sentries. Fear no though, you don't always have to fool every enemy you come across. Sometimes you just need to fool one of them. By the way, love those SFM bits you included.

Sometimes it’s depending on your RNG. For example, your cloak is almost run out and the nearest ammo box is in the room with tight ways. If you aren’t lucky you could get bumped into people and you will die. To avoid this just……. go back to your local resupply cabinet or just use the cloak and dagger to negate this .Try hide in the plain sight (using CaD) and try not the make any sound (except when both team are fighting near you) and don’t get into crossfire. Basically avoid the tight way Like jonto say in the video that you can get frustrate. people randomly hit the spot your hiding and then your mind are going like “the entire team will focus on spy first even though there 3 heavies in front of them” That is just suck
