bearodactylif you're playing against good players who know how to check for spy (iirc you can go spy, disguise as enemy spy and check the 3d player model thing) i think the stock is best because they can't tell whether you're on spy or not
it's harder to do but you can still check even if they're on stock. you disguise as spy, look at name, cancel disguise, disguise as spy again and if the name is different then they don't have a spy (unless they run two spies lol). if the name is the same, then it's likely they have a spy.
bearodactylwith that said though, the only time the enemy team will be able to do that is if they're holding their own last (or for some reason somebody walks back to spawn) in which case they can already change class or hit their resup bind and then are able to see you even when invisible because of the team outlines you get ~10 seconds after you spawn (which im pretty sure can be refreshed with the resup binds/swapping classes)
This is enabled on pug cfg, but disabled on etf2l cfg. is it enabled on esea?
viperif you're cloaked, the damage resistance that being cloaked provides will more than likely save you from a pill since all pills outside of crit-boosted do 100 damage
a direct rocket from close range or a meatshot from close range is questionable, but you may survive for a bit longer
yeah but if you're cloaked and get damaged, you're not going to be able to uncloak and get a frag before they frag you
