I think the real strength of the big earner is something you didn't talk about: It is the best spawn camping knife. If you spawn camp and players spawn at a rate of about one every two seconds (A spawn after a big mow down at a choke for example) you want to be behind or near their spawn with the big earner. The enemies will file out and run straight for the point on predictable paths and if you just correctly pick the last guy in line you can pick the whole line in a high speed chain stab in a way no other knife can accomplish. The opposing team is not usually thinking 'spy at spawn.' To be effective you have to watch for spawn wall hacks(*Spits indignantly*), so either perching undisguised, in a place that isn't checked or using the cloak and dagger is recommended for this strategy. You also can't fully run the strategy for the entire game because eventually they will start checking their backs so your strategy will have to shift before you, perhaps later, come back to it again. Still for spawn camping king of the hill maps or long runs on payload defense or 5 CP maps the big earner really lives up to it's name.
The Big Earner is probably one of my favourite Spy weapons in the entire game. This weapon adds the benefits of chainstabbing due to the speed boost on kill and makes you able to reach and keep up with the faster classes like the Scout and Medic or after backstabbing someone you cloak and get out of there that you originally couldn't do with the other knives, but the only downside is having 100 health which opens you to be one shot by a Soldier's rocket, Demo's pipe and a Scout's meatshot making getting into the right position much harder. Overall, a great sidegrade to the stock Knife that makes you catch up to enemies but makes you more acceptable to one shots from a lot more sources and what's make this one of my favourite weapons!
The main problem I see running this with the Diamondback is that the Diamondback is best if you stay alive, while the Big Earner is mainly about getting an extra stab before you die in 1 hit.
The speed boost in no way requires you to die, what do you mean? It's a very nice escape and chase tool. Unless we are talking high level HL then I understand
Spy in general tends to die instantly after getting a stab. The 100 health makes that even worse. Kunai gives you a lot of healing, but Big Earner just lets you run a bit faster which doesn't add enough survivability to really be good with Diamondback.
One of my favorite knives to use, for it's surprise factor of being fast as a scout and getting those bullshit stabs. The surprise factor is pulling it out in the match after stock or spycicle and then zooming across the whole map for he demo who doesn't turn around. But dying to the spam or getting cucked by your small hp is the the downside.
When I started playing spy, I used the YER and C&D which worked out pretty well for me, then I started branching out. The big earner back in the day was the first and go-to knife for me and I had lots of fun getting chain stabs. I also paired it with the diamondback and the Clutch Ringer to make myself a nuisance to the other team. Now that the DR is getting nerfed, I stick to the L'etranger to prepare for the changes for the ringer. I still enjoy the Big Earner anyway and it's chain-stab glory
Oh, damn, I'm here early. I personally love the big earner, I think it's lots of fun, yet I never use it. I always find myself using stock or even the kunai. Even then though, every time I use it, I have a great time.
You know I was waiting for this video :D. And about the Big Earner, this is my least favorite knife in the game because with the lower hp you can die most of the damages like a pipe. And Big Earner doesn't gives your hp back like kunai so thats why I dont like the Big Earner :(
It makes chainstabbing a lot easier and funnier but still dont like him. My top knifes: 1- Conniver's Kunai 2- Stock Knife 3- Spy-cicle 4- YER 5- Big Earner
11:00 Where did pubs like these go?! I can't remember the last time anyone could walk in between 3 people as a spy disguised as a scout and even stay alive for a second. Let alone kill someone
The Loadout I use diamondback as my gun stock knife or if I want to big earner or spy sickle when I use the dead ringer then then I just use the spy kit in regular sapper
My favorite Spy loadout: Primary: Diamondback Melee: The Big Earner Watch: Invis-Watch Sapper: AP-SAP This loadout offers an aggressive playstyle (which is perfect since I always play KOTH) while also keeping the on-hand Cloak and the Diamondback allows me to snipe important targets after gathering crits to eliminate important targets from any range or at least force them to retreat. The downside to this loadout is that it's awkward to use at close range outside of backstabbing. Also I just love the AP-SAP's voice lines
It’s a great knife is great But I find it’s not as great whenever it’s in a small area Since you may have the speed boost but with its lower health You or I tend to get caught by spam
The big earner to me is my least favorite of all the spy's knives. While the kunai makes you extremely brittle, but rewards you with a lot of health after butt stabbing someone, the big earner just make you weak, but it's fine because you get some cloak back and you're speedy for a few seconds. It's upsides are great and all, but the -25 max health isn't just rough it's also unnecessary. It needs a down side that doesn't feel so troubling when being used like 10% slower movement speed when equipped or something.
Become your inner vampire with this set:
L’Entranger
Big Earner
Cloak and Dagger.
Also, sonic speed.
Kunai makes you a real vampire
That's ArraySeven's "Cloak Vampire" loadout
Sebastian Contreras i thought that
Since you can't recharge feign from ammo boxes both of these would be good with the DR
Kunai would be better than the dead ringer in this set, stealing your opponent's life seems much more vampirish.
Set introduced: Enforcer is awesome, Big earner sucks.
Set now: Enforcer sucks, Big earner is awesome.

Makes sense
First off, the speed boost is enough to get away while cloaking after a backstab.
Combine with DR and you get even more speed boost
It's a good set
which is why the diamondback should be paired with the kunai
One of my favorite knives to use, for it's surprise factor of being fast as a scout and getting those bullshit stabs. The surprise factor is pulling it out in the match after stock or spycicle and then zooming across the whole map for he demo who doesn't turn around.

do you ever run the kunai
a Woolen Sleevelet Yeah, I run it with stock revolver and cloak. It usually works very well for me.
spies in na that run the big earner: everyone
spies in eu that run the big earner: chooper
we all love chooper
I love using it too, even if I mostly stick to Medic in comp...
3:19 okay woolen has a flamethrower okay
I watch all of these videos and I don't even like to play spy all that much.... But I keep coming back.
Been waiting for this. And it was so worth the wait!!

a Woolen Sleevelet Hopefully, it would have been worth the wait
Oh, damn, I'm here early.

I swear I was hearing some Hoenn music in the background
The big earner can be useful for when your trying to slip away from danger but then I can't see any other any uses.
I don't mind criticism
its pretty good at backstabbing people who know you're a spy, most people don't really know what to do when the spy is running so fast
Great video, what's the file/script you use to make your melee show and your primary dissapear

I like the big earner because, it gives you a better chance of escaping and chainstabs
I'm running this knife full time in comp, and it is super fun
what do you normally run with it
a Woolen Sleevelet l'etranger and invis. Since it's ugc and no razor back, killing the sniper is all I do, all game. And sometimes the med aswell
Its underrated

It’s nice to watch these vids when I need a break from work
I use the Cloak and Dagger
Yes, you can use the speed boost for chain stabs, but a lot of times I use the speed boost to run away quickly after a stab.

a Woolen Sleevelet k I'm satisfied
my favorite weapon in all of tf2
The only unlocked knife I have is the big earner
*SPAH SAPPIN MAH SENTREH*
How very jazzy
How is your viewmodel off, yet I can still see the deadringer
is that just TF2 or is some different command?
yttriums mod
Normally when I backstab someone, I die in less than a second. With the big earner, I can run away.
The Loadout I use diamondback as my gun stock knife or if I want to big earner or spy sickle when I use the dead ringer then then I just use the spy kit in regular sapper
Your menu is the best
i wonder who gave you that en- I'll stop.
snooz good decision
Yeah we all know you gave him it
hehe gj
You're what's been keeping me alive the last 3 days
stay alive friendo
I used to run the Big Earner with the DeadRinger for suvivability and the Diamondback to farm Krits once I get some chain stabs
How do you find lobbies where you can literally run into multiple people and nobody even tries to spy check you
I rember when I was new to the game I thought that this weapon was a straight upgrade to the stock.
Big earner is possibly my favorite spy knife
what is hud???
I think is toonHUD? or something like that.
Oh, what is? it's the customized UI that people can put into TF2.
Rayshud
Have you ever played hotline Miami?
"Absolute trash"
But this knife is gives me boost to catch scout and finish off all enemies.
This knife is so good
It's fine to me by 100 hp
What maps are the best for the Big Earner?
how do i change my HUD to the one you are using
Whats that hud i like it??
for some reason i cant craft the big earner even tho i have all the necessary parts
Zettai Ryouiki? Nice.
The big earner:
+💀💀💀 =__-=_=-_=_--🔫-😂-🗡
- -20% max health on wearer
this is the stupidest thing i ever see

Can someone link me that hud, please?

Suggest ideas for a new spy knife down here
In my opinion the big earner is the best knife because usually if you would get into a bad situation you usually die anyway.
+cookie0329 not always, I think if it teaches people that bad situations always mean death with no chance of survival then it teaches a bad practice
Guys my windows laptop just finished updating its only been a few hours I don’t even know
How do you get trans viewmodel in casual
love these chill videos babe xx
My usual loadout is spycicle, l'etranger and dead ringer just because I always die
lol hot rod chomper from pvzgw got the same stats they both lose 25 health and they got speed boost after kill
I...I read this as "lets talk about the big kill" xD;
Yo Woolen, greetings from Hungary!
hello
IchBinWambo Funny.
It’s a great knife is great
But I find it’s not as great whenever it’s in a small area
Since you may have the speed boost but with its lower health
You or I tend to get caught by spam
enforcer and big earner don't go well with dr (at least not enforcer), they're better with invis
i don't like this knife, because of the speed boost (sometime) so many backstabbed missed
What did you use to make your game look ugly and run well?
comanglias config
a Woolen Sleevelet Thank you. Love your videos!
Back when tf2 was good
I used to run this with amby and invis on koth maps its so fucking good in HL
good to practice proper spy instead of dr spamming which is what i started out doing
