Sap the sg first, then knife the engy so when you loose your disguise you dont get mowed by the gun....

logically

If the sentry is facing away, stab and quickly sap. Otherwise sap first.

In sudden death, just stab the engy and all his stuff goes with it. :twisted:

You've got to get proficient at switching weaps with hotkeys or "q".

Can you cloak out of the SG's auto target?


I think I tried to once, but it was messy.

The cloak is usually too slow to avoid sentries.

I load up the sappers and ignore the Engi. Especially if there is a bgi group of buildings, I'll justs ap them all. They'll know I'm a Spy, but they'll be too busy trying to save their gear than fight me while they probably call out for help. Usually, I can just spam the sappers, as soon as they ill one, plant another and it picks up where the last one left off.

It doesn't always work, but I've cleared a few sentry blocks with it :).

It's best to coordinate with the team so they can attack it while it's disabled. :wink:
