While a building is sapped, it is totally disabled and does not function, with the Sapper dealing 25 damage per second to it, creating a loud and conspicuous electrical sound that alerts all nearby enemies to the Spy's presence.

Sapper Sapper Disables enemy buildings and drains their health, without removing your disguise
"Who left that there?" | |
The Sapper is the stock and only sapper for the Spy. It is a boxy "electro-sapper" device that resembles a radio, with two switches, a dial, and a meter of unknown measurement on the front, with a carrying handle and two thick wires with electrical jacks. The needle on the meter will move to the right when in front of a targetable building.
The Sapper is a unique weapon that is used to disable and destroy enemy buildings, despite technically being classified as "building" itself. It has no other purpose, and cannot be used on organic enemies. When in range of an enemy building that can be sapped, a white outline appears. Placing the sapper does not remove the Spy's disguise, and it has infinite ammo with practically no cooldown. While a building is sapped, it is totally disabled and does not function, with the Sapper dealing 25 damage per second to it, creating a loud and conspicuous electrical sound that alerts all nearby enemies to the Spy's presence. If one Teleporter is sapped, the other is automatically sapped as well, and destroying one Sapper destroys the other. When the Spy attacks a sapped Sentry Gun, his weapons deal 33% as much damage as usual.
It will also alert the Engineer who owns the building with a flashing symbol on his construction interface and an automatic voice response. If that player has the "Sapper awareness" setting activated (tf2c_building_sapper_awareness), most other game audio will have its volume lowered until the Sapper is destroyed. When the Sapper brings a building's health down to 0, it will explode as usual. The Engineer's Wrench can remove Sappers by hitting the affected building twice, preventing it from being repaired, with continual replacement of the Sapper causing the building to eventually be destroyed. The Sapper itself has 100 health, yet the only thing that can deal damage to it is the Wrench. Sapper health and sapped building health of the first Sapper placed will also be marked on the Spy's interface. Sentry Guns are still disabled for 0.5 seconds after the Sapper is destroyed.
