L'escampette

Invis Watch

Cloak Type: Speedy

+30% faster move speed while cloaked

+100% faster cloak consumption

-15% cloak when damaged under cloak


"Make it quick."

The L'escampette is a watch for the Spy. It resembles a stopwatch that is held rather than worn on the wrist.

Compared to the Invis Watch, the L'escampette increases the speed of it's user while cloaked at the cost of a faster cloak drain rate. This tradeoff allows the Spy to move into position or escape a sticky situation at great speed. However, the Spy must not move predictably, as any damage dealt while invisible will drain 15% of his cloak. Picking up ammo crates while cloaked will refill the meter.

Trivia

  • This Weapon bears a resemblance to stock Tf2's Dead Ringer, as they are both pocket watches that increase the speed of wearer, but unlike the Dead Ringer it does not provide a damage resistance or status effect removal, making it more balanced and not a crutch for bad spies.
  • L'escampette is French for "The Escape".
