The new spy weapon revealed today is The Ambassador, a hand cannon. It has the advantage of a much more powerful shot and a much more accurate shot, but at the cost of cooldown between shots. I was speaking to Steve (p9tv) about this one today, and he threw out the thought that it may register headshots, like the sniper rifle, and the cooldown may prevent cloaking for a period of time due to the loud sound of the shot.

From what I can tell of the weapon, I would definitely take it over the revolver. I almost never engage in gunfights, even when pressed, but I would take down weak targets retreating for health. As a disguised spy, I can see enemy health and, once I am used to the damage of the gun, I can figure out if the shot is a kill. I wouldn't try to use this in a gunfight anymore than I would with the revolver, but a free kill is a free kill.

I just hope that tomorrow the new spy knife is revealed, my money is still on a throwing knife that has a recharge similar to Mr. Sandman, and while waiting on recharge, you can't backstab. Either way, we get our answers by Thursday, when the spy update goes live. You can be sure that I will be unlocking items and talking about them, and you'll have to catch the next Jarate Sandvich podcast to get the full report.
