Spy's Loadout Weakness in Detail

[Just_a_Random_Butler]

I can't decide which board should I post this on.

I think, he can also only equip and use a weapon of each type, so using two revolvers at the same time is not possible, and this would apply not only to spy but other classes.

Stock
Disguise Kit:

• Smokes come out when disguising.

Invis Watch (General):

• Bumping to someone will reveal his position as it gives awareness that there is a cloaked person, it will also reveal his silhouette.

Alternative Loadout
Ambassador:

• In every shot, there is a cooldown, in which spy should wait, for his next shot to be fully accurate.
• Shoots slower.
• Deals less damage if the shot is not a headshot. If headshot happens, the damage can be affected by range.

Big Earner:

• Its advantage can only be gained by backstabbing. Spy's maximum health is reduced, making him more vulnerable if he hasn't backstabbed anyone yet.
• Its effect won't activate as long as he "backstabs" someone.

Cloak and Dagger:

• Maximum cloak time is reduced. The normal drain rate is also higher than the normal invis watch, the speed at which he moves can also amplify this disadvantage.
  • A spy is forced to stay in a fixed position to refill his cloak meter. At this period of time, he can be susceptible to attacks, and getting hit by attacks can reveal his position.
• Similar to the stock Invis Watch, he can refill his cloak meter manually with ammo boxes. However, in the case of Cloak and Dagger, the refilled amount is reduced.
  • He also cannot do this normally while "invisible", this is only possible when he is visible.

Conniver's Kunai:

• Its advantage can only be gained by backstabbing. Spy's maximum health is reduced, making him more vulnerable if he hasn't backstabbed anyone yet.
• Its effect won't activate as long as he "backstabs" someone.

Dead Ringer:

• Cannot use until his cloak meter is full.
• The essence and advantage of feigning his death can easily be retracted by decloaking, when decloaking, the item makes a distinguishable loud noise and gives away his position shortly after being escape by feigning death.

Diamondback:

• Deals less damage, when compared to a stock revolver. Of course, if without crits, which means that he is in possession of a weapon weaker than a stock revolver if he hasn't "backstabbed" anyone yet.

Enforcer:

• Has a slower firing rate.
• Its damage bonus effect is only possible when disguised. When not disguised, this weapon is basically becomes a revolver with a slower firing rate.

L'Etranger:

• Deals less damage, when compared to a stock revolver.

Spy-cicle:

• Gets fire resistance in exchange for losing his knife temporarily, making him rely on his revolver and invis watch only.

Your Eternal Reward (YER):

• Drains cloak at a faster rate.
• When disguising with disguise kit, the whole cloak meter will be consumed. At this time, his cloaking is useless or weakened, and this disadvantage can be worse if the user is using Dead Ringer, as it requires a full cloak meter to use.
• Possibly implied that the backstab disguise effect will only be effective when backstabbing a "human target".

Major of the things you said are just gameplay mechanics.
