Question the First::
Does the Dispenser boost your cloak regen?


Question the Second::
If you use the Scout disguise, does the hitbox on you adjust so that it's equateable to a scout.  Or rather, does your actual profile become smaller letting you slip by things and avoid more shots, whereas if you were the heavy disguise you'd be easier to hit and have a harder time getting around?


Question the Third::
Why does my spy do a backstab attack and not kill the person whose backside is most obviously facing me?

1. No it doesn't sadly.

2. Couldn't answer this one.

3. This is a bug with hitboxes and it can be very annoying, sometimes you'll obviously stab someone right in the back and it won't register and other times you'll get in a knife fight and backstab them in the front. There's a video on youtube showing this bug and how it can effect the spy.

1: No

2: I actually don't know this one. I would have to say no, but I'm not entirely sure.

3: This is due to a glitch in the spy hitbox. Many a time, you begin to execute a backstab, and the opponent sidesteps/ moves forward/ turns around/ does something to screw with where their back is, and you fail to hit. Sadly, this is something we all must cope with.

I have another question for you picklebrains.

If you're cloaked and you choose to use the #4 weapon, the disguise kit, while cloaked, does it show any of the smoke/billow/anything while disguising while cloaked?

I do not think so.

I know teammates speccing you will see the smoke even if you're cloaked, but I do not believe that enemies watching you will see the smoke.

I'm 99% sure only your teammates see the smoke when cloaked.

There's only one way to test it....run in front of a camping Pyro cloaked and change while cloaked. If he rapes you, the smoke shows.

Are you a fucking noob, if you're cloaked no smoke shows.

ALL THE ANSWERS IN THAT LINK:

The hitbox doesn't change.
The smoke that appears while disguising while cloaking is only visible to teammates.
