When I was a F2P, I couldn't get a single backstab on CTF_2fort, so I tried playing with the revolver and after much success, I thought I was the most ingenious Tf2 player ever to exist.
Fun fact!: The revolver is arguably the best hitscan weapon to get crits at long range. Ignoring the shotguns (for obvious reasons) a critical revolvers dpm reaches 10,452 making it second to only the minigun at 15,205 (This is assuming all shot hit and infinite reserve ammo) Edit: dpm :P
Usually thats useless information unless your using the "shoot right out of spawn from resupply trick" that usually doesn't even work due to random bullet spread
@ibn4 Strangly enough the sniper rifle is the lowest damage weapon of the bunch. It's low firerate means it reaches a clean 6,000 dpm when critsed with even the smg beating it sporting 9,664 dpm
Your first shot is always accurate, but your next shots will have bullet spread. You have to stop shooting for 1.25 seconds to regain accuracy. This is so that it can't be spammed at long range. You can spam at mid range if your crosshair is on the center of your target. As for buildings, you can spam them from just about any range.

Jokes aside, I've got more kills on my strange revolver than on my strange kunai. Though I generally use the revolver with the dead ringer and usually the icicle. Most people nowadays think of the dead ringer as the kunai/big earner watch. They don't know that it's _the_ gunspy watch. They don't remember the terrifying days of Dr Enforcicle...
@@faceless2302 I don't really like the cloak and dagger as gunspy. I like to be aggressive when following in John's footsteps. The cloak and dagger is too passive. I'll admit it's my go-to knife spy watch nowadays, but I'm not using it for gunspy
you really just confirmed my suspicion that you felt like an old tf2uber. Your pure passion, editing skill, and story writing is unmatched. keep up the great work!
Like Pistols and SMG’s (and shotguns and miniguns to an extent), Revolvers will fire one perfectly accurate bullet before being subjected to random bullet spread with consecutive shots. For all of these weapons, waiting 1.25 seconds will bring back the single perfectly-accurate shot. The one exception is the Ambassador (and possibly Enforcer, though I’m not sure because different pages on the TF Wiki say different things), which only takes a 1 second interval of no firing before it regains the perfectly-accurate shot (or 0.9 second interval. Again, different pages on the TF Wiki say different things).
Remember that while the revolver is the second most accurate weapon in the game, constantly firing increases the spread. Pace your shots for farther mid-range targets.
8:23 Imagine waking up, looking outside your window, and seeing some guy in a Balaclava squatting and pinching his hands staring directly into your window.
I keep switching back to the stock, I use the letranger when I need to cloak a really long time on certain maps against certain teams but the stock is just... so strong. Diamondback lets you win more when you're already winning, stock helps you just win.
I recently saw a revolver spy dominating a pro spymain. Just literally, he dominated him with the stock, switched to ambassador, then to diamondback. That guy was one of the people who say "Gun, mightier than the sword"
i think knife spy is mainly good against bad players, which in casual you always get so people overate how effective it actually it, gunspy on the other hand is consistently good against everyone providing you can aim, so it is better against good players but idk why people are obsessed with going for one or the other, why not use both, sometimes its better to stab people, sometimes its better to shoot people, like one of the most powerful features of spy is seeing enemy hp, the point of that is you can wait until someone is low and finish them off easily with the hitscan revolver, but for some reason people rarely do this
Gun Spy is honestly really strong if you pair it with the Dead Ringer. Not for the damage resistance and speed boost used from activating it, but rather the glitch that makes you reload twice as fast if you double right-click while reloading with a full cloak bar on the Dead Ringer.
This video is: Inspiring✅ Heartwarming✅ Soothing✅ Whole sum✅ Motivational✅ Life-changing✅ My life was going downhill, but thanks to this video I’ve turned it around. My gratitude is endless
For gunsphee I will recommend a controversial pick Enforcer Big earner Cloak and dagger As it doesn't really weaken any part of your kit making you a SPY not a knife spy or a gun spy The enforcer is a direct upgrade to stock (the slower firing speed makes shots more accurate and the extra damage does work) Big Earner allows you to zoom away when you have an opportunity to take a cheeky back using the cloak and dagger as a cover which you can also use to hide and trick people into thinking you dead rang
id use the spycicle simply because as a follower of john i believe there is no reason to ever go for a backstab. the invis watch you choose doesnt matter tho
@@stan637 for gun spy it is, youre going to be waiting to shoot anyways to get the 100% accuracy back so you might as well take the free upsides along with it
0:30 About that... Spy mains don't use cloak revolver because it's "bad weapon", even though they only use revolver when they see razorback sniper Which means they dislike it mostly without a "normal" reason, but i may be wrong here
I hardly play tf2 (pretty bad Ngl), but I can’t stop watching your videos. There’s something so genuine about the tf2 community. Though I don’t know how I’m going to find real world application to knowing that double donks are sick and gun spies are all named John
Your editing is honestly the best I’ve seen out of any TH-camr it’s just so perfect. Like there’s a lot going on but it’s not overwhelming it’s clear I love it
i like gunspy, different play style altogether but you can still act like a normal spy when needed because the meta gunspy load out (stock or ambi depending on headshot ability, spycicle to deal with pyros, dead ringer as a get out of jail free card, and sapper of choice) doesn’t fundamentally change spy on its own, meaning you trade potential for consistency with a different playstyle while still being able to change to the normal playstyle on a dime.
"Every spy and spy main smokes up that kunai and diamond back stuff." Me: *sits in the corner with my Big Earner and L'tranger.* I like speed, and more stealth.
Worst part for me about spy is you can’t speed yourself up after disguising, means dressing up as scojt and medic is so worthless and the pyro will usually spy check by clicking and you get destroyed
the same can be said for all(most) weapons not commonly used to their fullest by the average player when they are adequately played in pub (like.. pistal, stock shotgun crossbow)
It pleases me to see the stock revolver getting the appreciation it deserves, people really underestimate how powerful it can be, and it leads them to fall into the trap of overconfidence, only to be absolutely destroyed by its sheer power. well done.
I never knew how good thr stock can be i used the Lethran j (screw that name) i started using stock so much i even got s festivzed version of it since i think its the best spy revovler
I would recommend the stock revolver, icicle and deadringer as both the icicle and deadringer as the icicle makes pyros bot an issue and the deadringer allows you to escape impossible encounters and catch people off guard
Sure gunspy is kind of a meme class but it's unbelievable how many kills some spies miss out on because they don't shoot low health or overconfident players. Backstab dopamine hits different but killing one or two people with less than 6 shots feels good too. Plus it adds to the "efficient assassin" experience when using gun and knife frequently.
I don't use the revolver because I use the L'Etranger but I still use it a lot I like using the revolver but I can't give up the clock 2:20And this is my aim in game without joking. Plz help
Big thicc tip: use the spy-cicle, as if your not using it for stabs or anything and your just using it to extinguish yourself, its THE straight upgrade weapon. Really gud
According to all known laws of spy maining, there is no way that a gunspy should be able to succeed. Its damage values are too small to get kills with such a squishy class. The gunspy, of course, succeeds anyway. Because gunspies don't care what spy mains think is possible.
The Hog Rider card is unlocked from the Spell Valley (Arena 5). He is a very fast building-targeting, melee troop with moderately high hitpoints and damage. He appears just like his Clash of Clans counterpart; a man with brown eyebrows, a beard, a mohawk, and a golden body piercing in his left ear who is riding a hog. A Hog Rider card costs 4 Elixir to deploy. Strategy His fast move speed can boost forward mini tanks like an Ice Golem in a push. At the same time, he can also function as a tank for lower hitpoint troops such as Goblins as he still has a fair amount of health. Most cheap swarms complement the Hog Rider well, as they are nearly as fast as him and usually force more than one card out of the opponent's hand. The Hog Rider struggles with swarms, as they can damage him down and defeat him quickly while obstructing his path. Barbarians in particular can fully counter him without very strict timing on the defender's part, though be wary of spells. A Hunter can kill the Hog Rider in 2 hits if placed right on top of it. However, if you place something in front of the Hog Rider, the Hunter's splash will damage the Hog Rider and hit the card in front of it more. The Hog Rider in conjunction with the Freeze can surprise the opponent and allow the Hog Rider to deal much more damage than anticipated, especially if the opponent's go-to counter is a swarm, or swarms are their only effective counter to him. Skeletons and Bats will immediately be defeated by the spell, while Spear Goblins, Goblins, and Minions will be at low enough health to be defeated by a follow up Zap or Giant Snowball. However, this strategy isn't very effective against buildings as the Hog Rider will take a while to destroy the building, giving the opponent ample time to articulate another counter. Against non-swarm troops, it can deal a lot of damage during the freeze time, but this can allow the opponent to set up a massive counterpush. For this reason, players should either only go for a Hog Rider + Freeze when they have other units backing it up from a counterattack, or if the match is about to end and they need to deal as much damage as possible. It is not a good idea to send in a Hog Rider simply to destroy a building, especially if it is the only building targeting unit available, as defeating Crown Towers becomes substantially more difficult. Spells or simply waiting out the lifetime of the building are more effective. The exception to this is an Elixir Collector placed in front of the King's Tower. If a Hog Rider placed at the bridge, he can destroy the Collector for a positive Elixir trade, though the damage from both Princess Towers will usually mean he does not survive to deal any damage to them. However, if the opponent sends in defending troops, it can be an opportunity to gain spell damage value. In a deck with several low-cost cards, it might be worth it to simply send the Hog Rider against one building. These decks shuffle their card rotation quick enough, that they will arrive to their next Hog Rider before the next building arrives in the opponent's card rotation. Long-ranged troops like Musketeer and Flying Machine can snipe those buildings, preserving some of the Hog Rider's health, possibly allowing it to get some Tower damage. When there are buildings placed in the middle to counter the Hog Rider, understanding the placement of the Hog Rider and the type of building placed can help the Hog Rider to bypass certain buildings. Passive buildings such as spawners and Elixir Collector have a larger hitbox than defensive buildings; which means that if a passive building was placed 3 tiles away from the river in the middle of the opponent's side, then it is impossible for the Hog Rider to bypass that placement as the Hog Rider will get pulled to that building. Defensive buildings have a smaller hitbox than a passive building, which means if that if a defensive building was placed three tiles away from the river in the middle of the opponent's side, a Hog Rider placed at the very left or right side of the Arena may be able to bypass it due to its smaller hitbox. If the player has a building already placed down in the center of the arena, and the opponent tries to bypass it with a Hog Rider at the edge of the arena, they can use certain air troops to push the Hog Rider towards the building as it jumps over the river, effectively denying the bypass attempt. They must be already hovering over the correct placement, as very quick reflexes are required to correctly perform this technique. For Bats, Skeleton Dragons, and Minion Horde, they should be placed right in front of the Hog Rider as soon as it is deployed.

Stock Revolver, Dead Ringer, and Spy-cicle. This allows John to use the dreaded knife and burn it for his joy.
I recently found out about your channel and I have now watched every single video. Good shit ngl
According to all known laws of spy maining, there is no way that a gunspy should be able to succeed. Its damage values are too small to get kills with such a squishy class. The gunspy, of course, succeeds anyway. Because gunspies don't care what spy mains think is possible.
As a spy who uses the big earner, I always switch my stock gun as secondary, you have no idea how many times the gun saved my life.
Gun spy: *TIME TO DO THIS TEXAS STYLE*

That sniper at 10:01 got destroyed, couldn't handle the power of John.
Oh and that soldier at 10:55 too, just annihilated.
All hail John, the CURE to toxic spies.
I love that cursed Noteflight rendition of Rocky's Theme!
Gotta love the Revolvers on point aim, 100% accuracy but accuracy to hit anything but your target
The Hog Rider card is unlocked from the Spell Valley (Arena 5). He is a very fast building-targeting, melee troop with moderately high hitpoints and damage. He appears just like his Clash of Clans counterpart; a man with brown eyebrows, a beard, a mohawk, and a golden body piercing in his left ear who is riding a hog. A Hog Rider card costs 4 Elixir to deploy.
Strategy
His fast move speed can boost forward mini tanks like an Ice Golem in a push. At the same time, he can also function as a tank for lower hitpoint troops such as Goblins as he still has a fair amount of health. Most cheap swarms complement the Hog Rider well, as they are nearly as fast as him and usually force more than one card out of the opponent's hand.
The Hog Rider struggles with swarms, as they can damage him down and defeat him quickly while obstructing his path. Barbarians in particular can fully counter him without very strict timing on the defender's part, though be wary of spells.
A Hunter can kill the Hog Rider in 2 hits if placed right on top of it. However, if you place something in front of the Hog Rider, the Hunter's splash will damage the Hog Rider and hit the card in front of it more.
The Hog Rider in conjunction with the Freeze can surprise the opponent and allow the Hog Rider to deal much more damage than anticipated, especially if the opponent's go-to counter is a swarm, or swarms are their only effective counter to him. Skeletons and Bats will immediately be defeated by the spell, while Spear Goblins, Goblins, and Minions will be at low enough health to be defeated by a follow up Zap or Giant Snowball.
However, this strategy isn't very effective against buildings as the Hog Rider will take a while to destroy the building, giving the opponent ample time to articulate another counter.
Against non-swarm troops, it can deal a lot of damage during the freeze time, but this can allow the opponent to set up a massive counterpush. For this reason, players should either only go for a Hog Rider + Freeze when they have other units backing it up from a counterattack, or if the match is about to end and they need to deal as much damage as possible.
It is not a good idea to send in a Hog Rider simply to destroy a building, especially if it is the only building targeting unit available, as defeating Crown Towers becomes substantially more difficult. Spells or simply waiting out the lifetime of the building are more effective. The exception to this is an Elixir Collector placed in front of the King's Tower. If a Hog Rider placed at the bridge, he can destroy the Collector for a positive Elixir trade, though the damage from both Princess Towers will usually mean he does not survive to deal any damage to them. However, if the opponent sends in defending troops, it can be an opportunity to gain spell damage value.
In a deck with several low-cost cards, it might be worth it to simply send the Hog Rider against one building. These decks shuffle their card rotation quick enough, that they will arrive to their next Hog Rider before the next building arrives in the opponent's card rotation.
Long-ranged troops like Musketeer and Flying Machine can snipe those buildings, preserving some of the Hog Rider's health, possibly allowing it to get some Tower damage.
When there are buildings placed in the middle to counter the Hog Rider, understanding the placement of the Hog Rider and the type of building placed can help the Hog Rider to bypass certain buildings.
Passive buildings such as spawners and Elixir Collector have a larger hitbox than defensive buildings; which means that if a passive building was placed 3 tiles away from the river in the middle of the opponent's side, then it is impossible for the Hog Rider to bypass that placement as the Hog Rider will get pulled to that building.
Defensive buildings have a smaller hitbox than a passive building, which means if that if a defensive building was placed three tiles away from the river in the middle of the opponent's side, a Hog Rider placed at the very left or right side of the Arena may be able to bypass it due to its smaller hitbox.
If the player has a building already placed down in the center of the arena, and the opponent tries to bypass it with a Hog Rider at the edge of the arena, they can use certain air troops to push the Hog Rider towards the building as it jumps over the river, effectively denying the bypass attempt. They must be already hovering over the correct placement, as very quick reflexes are required to correctly perform this technique.
For Bats, Skeleton Dragons, and Minion Horde, they should be placed right in front of the Hog Rider as soon as it is deployed.
as a "slight" spy main, i agree that stock revolver is good and gunspy is a certified option to stay alive for half the entire round
thanks elmaxo for immersing yourself so much in the spy character that you picked up chainsmoking! I sure hope the video can pay for the XL marlboro red packs!
Fuck this video is great. Fantastic editing, controversial opinions, an irl bit, everything I want. Cant wait for more.
maybe its just me but its kinda wild seeing someone post irl shit and recognising exactly where each shot has been taken from. great vid elmaxo
I just played a game of Attack/Defend with two Gun Spies as our main DPS. Yes, TWO Gun Spies taking on the role of Soldier and Heavy. I had to go Med and pocket our Gun Spies. It was beautiful. We actually won.
