Dead Ringer + Kill Taunt = OMGWTFINVISISTAB
We all know that TF2 got bugs, and most of them can be exploited in one way or other. However, I believe this one takes the prize as the coolest exploit of them all, and made me realize that the Dead Ringer is actually still a powerful weapon, and that I might go and try that out on the Ubercharged server. People. I present to you… Spy taunt kill complilation. Spy smirked, and millions of raging souls whined and screamed (I think)
Plain awesome, in a box, dipped with chocolate cream, beautifully decorated, and with strawberry on top. That’s a bunch of epic kills that makes me “OMGAWESOMELOL” The next time I am on Ubercharged, I am going to OMGWTFINVISISTAB people, just to see their reactions.
…and I wonder how many of you know that I was in a rush to make this, being a video article with just some lines. Speaking of lack of lines, this is beginning to look alot like one of these articles with just a video and some lines! Videooooooo~ takes up too much! But all is begiven because it’s epic kills, but some shall complain about the lack of lines~
Because video articles usually lack content.
Stumble it!

Amazing
SirMax responded on 07 Jun 2009 at 11:46 am #
That’s amazing. And nerrick, what you’re thinking of is the inability to START a taunt while invisible. This video was made AFTER that update, because he has to undisguise before taunting.

I haven’t laughed this hard in ages.
Thanks for reminding me why I love this website Eldrake.
Baejung92 responded on 07 Jun 2009 at 12:22 pm #
Nerrick: They removed Spies being able to taunt while cloaked, but it looks like the guy starts his taunts before he gets fake killed. At least that’s what I think it is.
Baejung92 responded on 07 Jun 2009 at 12:24 pm #
And, um, obviously I wouldn’t call Eldrake “new here”…
Wargod responded on 07 Jun 2009 at 1:00 pm #
@nerrick
you must be new here…
Don’t post wrong statements, before you’ve tried doing the cloaked taunt kill.
Just as Baejung said, they only fixed spies being able to taunt when they are already cloaked, but you are starting the taunt when you are still visible here.
@OMGWTFINVISISTAB
Discovered this by accident and am doing this from time to time.
The reactions to this are really hilarious.

I see what that spy did there

@madlep
I see what you did there.
Jazmeister responded on 07 Jun 2009 at 1:56 pm #
Can’t you still do this with the regular cloak? It’s just obviously much more effective with the dead ringer, unless you can sneak up on someone and un-re-cloak with the C&D or Invisiwatch.
madlep, you must be new here. The phrase is “I see what you did there.”
Sum1 responded on 07 Jun 2009 at 3:27 pm #
And I see what YOU did there Jaz!

NO LEETLE MAN, YOU ARE NEW.
I did this yesterday, and even managed to take out a Pyro. It works.

Gotta love that. Of course, a lot of those would just be better with a backstab. Still, though…

Bloody Spy!

Absolutely wonderful.
My personal favourite was the Sniper at 2:25.
n00bie51 responded on 07 Jun 2009 at 11:57 pm #
That really sucks for the Sniper, he got what otherwise would have been a nice head shot.
In response to your comment regarding the effectiveness of the Dead Ringer, Eldrake, the success of taunt kills mostly relies on luck and/or the incompetence of the opponent. If the Dead Ringer is a powerful tool, it won’t be because Spies can utilize this neat technique involving taunt kills. Great video nonetheless.
Secret Agent Clank! responded on 08 Jun 2009 at 2:27 am #
Sounds like a possible patch?
Although the last thing I think Valve would want to do is nerf the Dead Ringer (further).
Sarda responded on 08 Jun 2009 at 2:43 am #
So, this is why I was dying from taunt kills with nobody there. I thought Valve would have just made it so going invisible automatically stops taunts, or just does as if you were moved while taunting(taunt continues in animation only).
Wargod responded on 08 Jun 2009 at 3:18 am #
eldrake: “I did this yesterday, and even managed to take out a Pyro. It works.”
You can even take out two pyros, although they are flaming at you after you got invisible.
Managed to do that yesterday.
But you’ll die burning, after killing those two, quite quick.

Holyshit, this is awesome!
And it’s epic how the whole screen shakes in sync with the music in 0:42

I saw this video, and tried it (and only doing this) half an hour yesterday evening.
I only managed to do it twice, but it was absolutely AWESOME.
And ever more awesome that they were two of my friends

That…that is just WRONG.
As a non-spy, I am horrified and will adjust my combat techniques accordingly.

while the dead ringer is out
YOU ARE CONSIDERED CLOAKED

Cat Shay responded on 08 Jun 2009 at 8:54 am #
Tried this evening. Worked perfectly.
Not so easy to do, but awesome !
(well, it worked a couple times. Then everyone just started getting paranoid and move just even more after killing a spy.)

MasalaMan responded on 08 Jun 2009 at 2:57 pm #
I don’t think this is an exploit, instead a unique kill taunt ability for the spy.
E.g. the heavy, a range taunt kill.
Scout, the atomic punch + sandman combo.
Sniper, huntsman taunt that stunts the enemy.
Pyro, multiple kills and probably can destroy engineers building (im not sure about this)

That stupid Engineer did not rotate the Teleporter properly in Dustbowl Stage 3. No wonder his team-mates were a bit confounded after they had teleported.
Mr. Noobinator responded on 08 Jun 2009 at 10:01 pm #
uh…you can teleport to other team’s spawn? i never knew that’s actually possible.
then again, i stopped playing TF2 for 2-3 months. until the recent updates.
Mr. Anon responded on 08 Jun 2009 at 10:11 pm #
Fantastic video! I would love to add this video to my collection! Any chance you can upload a video file of it? .avi or .mp4 or whatever you prefer!
n00bie51 responded on 08 Jun 2009 at 11:51 pm #
Yes, Mr. Noobinator, a recent patch has allowed Spies to take the teleporter; I think Spies can take them even while undisguised.
Engineers seriously need to remember to correctly rotate their exits so that they’re not facing a wall when they port.
Wes responded on 08 Jun 2009 at 11:56 pm #
So NO ONE saw the bind that WORKS I posted?

@Mr. Anon: This will help: http://zamzar.com/url/
Methinks it’s going to be fixed soon because it’s kinda unfair when you “killed” the spy and he still blocks the doorway. But then again… the Dead Ringer would be overpowered… Nah, they won’t fix it ^^

Sigh, people are resorting to advertising in the comments section of a TF2 website. What failures. *Facepalm*

Shift+6.
circus responded on 09 Jun 2009 at 11:44 am #
So if those guys kept firing at him after the dead ringer went off, the spy would have died, right?
a noob cake responded on 09 Jun 2009 at 1:54 pm #
@ circus: Yes, if the Spy is near death or the attacking enemy has enough firepower. The Dead Ringer still reduces all attacks to 1/10 of the original damage when active.
