MvM Spy disguising

[diego.]

I was playing TF2 and I got a question: Does disguise work against Robots?

[Sentient_Toaster]

Yes. They'll ignore a lot of behavior that would immediately tip off human players, but stabs (and probably saps, although I haven't checked lately) can reveal you.

I use Your Eternal Reward and it works wonders, its seems the bots dont understand a instant disguise. The bots with suspect you as a spy, but not as much as they would if you used any other knife (this was just with my testing).

The day the Mecha Update came out me and 5 other people went onto Bigrock as Spies, disguised, and lined up in front of the doorway leading out of the robot spawn. They just stood in front of us without attacking or anything.

Dunno if this hasn't gotten updated out or something, but in my experience they're not too sharp.

Thanks guys

For a more in-depth explanation about how the bots react to Spies: The one big advantage for you is they will never spycheck or anything like that. If they see someone disguised as their own team, they don't suspect a thing. However, if you uncloak in front of them, sap something in front of them, catch on fire or bump into them, they will realize you're a Spy and attack you. Also, they have no idea what the Dead Ringer is. If you use that on them, they'll just walk away. By the way, this also applies to bots on regular TF2 servers, not just the robots on MvM.
