Oh Valve, you are so unpredictable. After revealing yesterday that the Sniper class in Team Fortress 2 would introduce the Razorback tribal shield, a defense-focused item useful for fending off first-time backstabs, the limelight has since shifted over to the Spy in today’s announcement.

Yes, despite this being an update focused primarily on the Sniper, Valve is throwing a couple bones at backstab-happy assassins. First is the Dead Ringer watch, which when worn fakes your death from a non-lethal hit, allowing players to flee while their attacker doesn’t bat an eye. Second is the Cloak and Dagger watch, which renders a Spy as permanently invisible, so as long as they stand still.

According to Valve, the Sniper update is due out within the “coming days” — likely by this weekend. Packing the aforementioned Spy and Sniper unlocks, plus the “Payload Race” gametype and two new arena maps, it’s safe to say that this is indeed the largest TF2 update yet.
