| + | Although the Spy is armed with a [[Weapon:Super_Shotgun|Super Shotgun]], he only has average health, armor, and movement speed and is unlikely to survive in open combat.

| + | Defensively, a Spy has few options. Although the [[Grenade:Gas|Gas Grenade]] could be used to cause incoming enemies to hallucinate, the Spy's available Special Abilities are generally focused towards infiltration. Defending Spies typically patrol around the base and attempt to backstab unsuspecting enemies entering the base. | ||

| + | |||
| + | Spies are equipped to excel at infiltration, but they are not as effective if the player does not implement those skills in the right situation. The best defense against a Spy is a wary and alert team.

TODO on this page
- Change the template from Page_Class => Class; Info box => Info box small
You need to add the abilities, weapons and grenades parameters
And also the extra parameters for the info box (health, armour, power, speed)
See Class:Scout or Class:Pyro for example of pages that are already done
The Spy is the assassin and saboteur of Fortress Forever. He has a wide variety of special abilities at his disposal that help him excel at infiltration and sabotage. Stealth and subterfuge are the Spy's best friends. The Spy's Knife can instantly kill an enemy player if they are stabbed from behind. Backstab kills are silent.
Changes from Team Fortress Classic
Feigning death is not possible on the Source engine due to the ragdoll physics. This was replaced by the Spy's ability to cloak. Gas Grenades no longer cause damage over time within their area of effect; rather, the grenade does damage once and then induces the Hallucination effect. The Spy no longer has a single fixed weapon while Disguised; the currently equipped weapon is reflected in the disguise. For instance, if a Spy is disguised as a Medic and has his Knife equipped, the Medic disguise will show the Medikit equipped. Previously in TFC, an Engineer running around with a Railgun equipped was almost surely a Spy as the Railgun was a weapon that most Engineers did not carry while equipped. This does not include grenades, however, and any class other than a Spy throwing a Gas Grenade will be a telltale sign that that player is a Spy in disguise.
Special Command
The Spy's special command brings up the Disguise Menu. The Disguise Menu shows all of the options the Spy has for disguising (see "Disguise" below).
Special Abilities
Disguise
Spies can disguise themselves as any other class and team that is available on the current map. If there are two teams on the map, the disguises will be listed as either "Friendly" or "Enemy". If there are three or four teams on the map, the disguises will be listed by team color. The disguise options also reflect any class limits on the map; if Snipers are disabled on the map, then a Spy is unable to disguise as a Sniper. However, the Spy's disguises can be controlled by each map's individual LUA file, so a mapper can allow a Spy to disguise as any mix of all ten classes if s/he wishes to do so.A Spy's disguise is removed whenever they attack with one of their weapons. (Spies are still able to prime grenades and throw them while disguised.) There is one exception to this rule (see "ID Theft" below). A Spy's currently equipped weapon is reflected in their disguise, so if a Spy disguised as an Engineer has his Knife out the disguise will show the Spanner out.
Disguise Removal
A Spy can remove an enemy Spy's disguise by coming into contact with them. The enemy Spy's HUD will show "Your disguise has been removed!". If two disguised Spies touch one another, both of their disguises are removed. The Scout also possesses this ability.ID Theft
Normally, when the Spy attacks with a weapon they lose their disguise. However, if the Spy successfully backstabs an enemy from behind with their Weapon:Knife on the first hit (which is an instant kill), they assume the team color and class of the enemy as a disguise.Invisibility
Spies can cloak. There are two options for cloaking: Cloak and Silent Cloak. If a Spy cloaks normally, a Corpse showing their model (be it the Spy themselves or their cloak) falls as if it had died. This is a functional and useful replacement for feigning death. If a Spy cloaks silently, the Spy simply fades into their cloaked form. Friendly players will see a partially cloaked Spy, but enemies will not be able to see the Spy at all. A Spy moves slower when cloaked, and any increases in speed (such as being hit by a Concussion Grenade and subsquently being pushed away) will remove the cloak. Cloaked Spies do not bleed.Reduced Falling Damage
Spies must fall 50% as far as other classes to receive fall damage, and they receive 50% less damage than other classes when they sustain fall damage.Sabotage
Spies can sabotage enemy Sentry Guns and Dispensers and turn them against the enemy team. The Spy must stand next to a Sentry Gun or Dispenser while disguised Sabotaging a Sentry Gun or Dispenser takes 3 seconds. Sabotaged Buildables can not be detonated or dismantled. (However, they can still be destroyed by weapons fire as usual.) The Sabotage effect is removed after the timer runs out or the Spy is killed.A sabotaged Sentry Gun will have lowered accuracy for 2 minutes while sabotaged. The Spy can activate the Sabotage and the Sentry Gun will fire on its own team, giving all kills to the Spy. When the activated Sabotage ends, the Sabotage is removed.
A Sabotaged Dispenser can be detonated by the Spy activating the Sabotage. The Sabotaged Dispenser will kill anyone on the Engineer's team (if Friendly Fire is off).
Stealth
Spies do not make footstep sounds like the other classes do. However, they will make footsteps while disguised so as to not ruin the illusion of the disguise.If a Spy is crouching when he lands from a fall, he will make no noise. However, a Spy can choose to stand while falling so as to purposely make noise if they choose to do so.
Weapons

Grenades
Grenades here.
Ammunition
All classes are technically capable of carrying all of the different types of Ammunition. The various types of ammo in Fortress Forever are listed here along with the amount the class spawns with, the maximum the class can carry, and whether or not a class can discard that type of ammo. (For example, a Soldier can not discard Rockets since his RPG uses them.)
Some classes spawn with 0 of a specific type of ammo, and some classes can not pick up a specific type of ammo at all (represented by a 0 in the "Maximum" column).
