    A few corrections and things I missed:
    .Water droplets when coming out of water are visible on your for a brief moment while cloaked.
    .You can hear the spy's footsteps while cloaked
    .The loose cannon and force of nature also cause knockback while disguised

    A few notes I have not seen in the comments.
    • Running out of cloak is louder than a voluntary decloak.
    • Jumping with the C&D wastes cloak as your up and down movement is also counted.
    • Spend some time on your favorite maps attempting jumps that slower classes would not be able to pull off, and observer what props are rarely checked. (Map knowledge)
    • If a prop is rarely checked and you are able to get on top of it, juke away from it while cloaking. Once cloaked jump onto it or slide behind it.
    On another note, I like to dmg surf as medic as well as spy. It is amazing how quickly Soldier mains get tilted that you are using their rockets to escape them.

      Another thing with the Cloak and Dagger, if you want to travel further without needing to stop or if it is an emergency to move, but you don't have enough cloak to run away; just crouch. Crouching allows you to travel a lot further than if you simply just walked somewhere cloaked.

      Another tip regarding the Cloak and Dagger is that increases to your walking speed of _any kind_ do not increase cloak drain. This means that, if you decide to use the Big Earner, you can use the watch a little more actively, as cloaking might take a little longer, but your movement speed after a stab will often be enough to help you get away.

    More huge tips. People do not look up, hiding on top of anything at all decreases your chances of being caught drastically. Crouching beside small elevations is also a good way to hide as people don't often see if coming. Finally, sometimes it can be a good idea to simply hide in the last spot your opponents expect. Sometimes I find success hiding in the middle of a room/area as people tend to check walls and corners (though this is heavily dependent on the situation).
    Also be sure to always look behind you before you cloak to ensure it is safe to do so and do your best to conceal your decloak in case you get unlucky and someone walks by. One of my most common spy deaths is someone just materializing behind me when I decloak

    The Dead Ringer has an upside to the LOUD DECLOAK SOUND... If you fake the death of an ally at the start of a team fight, you can decloak behind the front line and half the enemy team will turn around to shoot at you (you should be behind cover) and your team will have free reign to shoot them in the backside because they were distracted by the spy that isn't even going to bother engaging with them right now.

    I was in a bad headspace and something about this video just... calmed me down. It was entertaining and creative, I really liked the editing both for visuals, sound effects and jokes, and it was overall a very pleasant experience
    My favourite part is definitely the l'Étranger ad, I rewound the video twice because I didn't fully process that I had an ad, then after the ad was over I got another ad, but this time for TF2, and the format was different. The quarter second of pause before the "ad" was really what sold the whole thing.
    So, overall, thank you so much for this video, you have done an excellent job, and you can be certain that it earned you at least one subscriber

  • @jimpargon
    @jimpargon 2 года назад +83

    You can hear spies walk sounds even when they are cloaked so its best to crouch walk in quiet areas especially if you are being hunted. I've found countless spies by listening to their footsteps. Granted this doesn't always help which is why I said quiet areas because if there are sentry beeps, heavy rev up, soldier rockets, or people spamming voice lines. Your chances of hearing a spy are pretty much gone.
    Mostly helpful info for fellow cloak and dagger spies.

    Attention! On maps where you are planning your route, do not forget that the route from spawn may have players 'patrolling' after they just respawned. Other than finding a safe path, do note that no teammates are directly behind you or make sure you don't end up in areas where enemies use to peek. To really play without chances of collision, hopping on rock props are still the best method to not getting spotted.

  • @VagueCastle649
    @VagueCastle649 2 года назад +41

    One thing to note is that you cannot cloak for the entire attack interval of your knife (which is 800 miliseconds), unlike your gun and your sapper, which you can cloak immediately after using.
    In certain situations, it might be more worth it to pop a cap into your target and cloak away, especially if they're at low enough health.
    The ambassador is perfect for picking off injured targets since it does the highest potential damage out of all the revolvers, without prior setup like sapping a building.

    These videos are amazing and the production value looks high, but don't feel pressured to keep putting them out as fast as you can, okay? Burnout is a serious thing, and it's better to pace yourself than to crank out content at the cost of your mental health. We'll still be here!

    On the topic of misdirection with cloaking, if you really want to get inside players heads, change direction halfway through cloaking to make it seem like you changed too early, then go back the other way again once fully cloaked. Make the enemy think they’re smarter.

  • @Techhunter_Talon
    @Techhunter_Talon Год назад +6

    2:23 Did something like this when using the Cloak & Dagger... but it wasn't with an Engineer. It was a Sniper who, after a short bit, had a Medic joining him in the search. This was a 2fort server and, as a result, didn't amount to much of anything but it was endless fun seeing that Sniper try to pull every trick in the book, aside from switching to Jarate, to find me. Sweeping his laser dot to see if it got any bigger? Yep. Standing still and listening for footsteps? Yep. Because of these, I didn't need to spam voicelines anymore because this guy was in a constant state of searching. Eventually, I just hid out elsewhere and carried out other shenanigans, like chilling out on the central battlement room with the Boxtrot taunt. XD
    All that because I was previously screwing around with the Engineers by shooting their buildings and cloaking out of sight. Sadly for that server, I know of a sneaky spot to situate myself when a player comes around to attempt a chase.

  • @kazulitheseawing3284
    @kazulitheseawing3284 Год назад +1

    A few things i get up to as the dead ringer is i dosguise as a friendly medic to make the enemy think they got a crucial med pick, and they're less likely to push us when they already got med down, meaning our medic can build up uber easier wothout fear of getting their shit rocked. Other spies can be hard to manage this wity if they're also going for the medic, but i mean, it protects medic from the other 7 classes that want him dead.
