Earlier I was watching some youtube (a HL lobby from spy pov) and the first thing he does is disguise as an enemy medic. Because it shows the weapon of the person you’re disguised as you can use this to detect the medigun the enemy medic is carrying!
1. Disguise as enemy medic
2. Hold out sapper, redisguise
3. Read out enemy medigun
No idea how common this knowledge is or if it’s worth the time to check, it blew my mind though.
Quoted from Muuki
used by pretty much every spy in 9v9 :D
Yeah but I don’t play 9v9, wondering about its viability in 6v6 though.
Has been used for ages. You can also check for offclass respawns to a certain degree.
pretty sure this is common knowledge in highlander at least, less so in 6v6 but its still known to the point where some medics have changed their mediguns to be named the same thing.

almost every 6v6 team does it
Yeah, common knowledge in hl. Dunno about 6v6.
I actually told this piece of information in the PC Gamer interview with Beef and ALX year ago.
this is why I have kritz and medigun both named “Hello Spy :)”
guess what you can also rename the mediguns
guess what if names are different you can check the med’s backpack beforehand

As a main Spy: Screw you! Still, it is actually quite amiable :)
What you do is disguise as Medic, take out your secondary, then run into the fray saying “I am fully charged”. If a demoman approaches you, they have kritz; if a soldier approaches you, they have uber. Then you die.

Actually on 2. you hold out sapper, press SPY:last disguise and then you read out enemy medigun.

I’ve seen quite a few casts and played quite a few games and I can say I’ve never seen it done, ever.

That’s what I meant, I always called it the redisguise button whose command is called ‘lastdisguise’.

Prem Spy Strats.
In my 6v6 Team I try to call this out as soon as there are opportunities to do it, or I think we have time to actually do this. Sometimes time is of the essence and I don’t find time to switch and check, but I try to at least :)
