While most of us were expecting to see the fourth installment of the Sniper Update today, Vavle pulled a dirty move and announced that we were actually getting The Spy Update this cycle.

The Dead Ringer Spy Watch

The have brought back the feign death ability from Team Fortress Classic with the Dead Ringer Spy watch. What this watch does is feign death when you are hit with a body shot, leaving a fake dead body on the ground and cloaking you for 8 seconds.

While it’s great to see the feign death ability come back, I just don’t see a large amount of practicailty of it.

The Cloak and Dagger Spy Watch

Not really clear if this is an unlockable or just a replacement of the regular spy watch, but it allows the a cloaked spy to stop and recharge their cloak. As long as they stand still their cloak will recharge.

This will make quite the change for spys, allowing them to basically remain permanatly cloaked throuhout an enemies’ base.
