Happy big video day! I now see this knife in my dreams :)
I'll be uploading the soundtrack to this video in 1 week (from video's release), alongside releasing it on SPOTIFY and APPLE MUSIC?? What?!?! Yeah, you heard me!
Between now and then I'll possibly host a cheeky celebratory livestream, showing off a bunch of extras and talking about this video which I have spent like a year on god help me.
If you feel like supporting me whilst getting all my future videos at least a day early, consider heading over to www.patreon.com/hintshot!
And my Discord server is always available to join at discord.gg/Z3PUnw8
Thank you for hanging in there these last few months while I've been working away on this. I aim to make every video essay bigger than the last and already have tons of ideas for what's next, so look forward to that! Until then, I'll thank you once more for your support as always. 🤝
See you when I see you!
-H
Also congratulations to the 12 people who managed to watch this early because I fucked up with the playlist lmao
I can't wait. The soundtrack slaps
Not only your videos are great (the medic/engie main), the music is amazing and I enjoy listening to it while drawing (like rn). Keep the good work
You sound like the most British man
it's painful to see such a well done video with only 2k views. Hopefully it'll be seen by more people and doesn't die out
That awkward moment at 17:04 where the Soldier asks you to heal him is so genuinely funny, like it's set up so perfectly but couldn't be staged since it's a pub
It's actually VERY common, like not even joking, I often disguise as a medic since I feel like it's spy's best diguise and a LOT of low hp players, especially soldier and demomen, just stay still and wait for you to heal them, especially if you're constantly changing through the crossbow's crusader and the medigun, then I just shoot them once or twice depending on their hp and it's hilarious because of their reaction every time.
@@IgorNetoAnimation It's really embarrassing if you have the YER + L'etranger combo tho because even at low HP a Demo or Soldier can probably kill you first.
Soldier : "medic heal me! ..medic?" (looks at medic) "you're not a medic are you..?"
You could just act like you’re a moronic battle medic. That can make them think their medic is a battle medic along with killing other enemies.
Edit: So UA-cam had a problem with me saying “stupid” but not “moronic”, which is just a different form of the word “moron”, which means the same thing as “stupid”?
@@TeenWithACarrotIDKi use the "no" voiceline and shake my head at them
They often start walking towards a healthpack and open up their back or they just stand there looking at you and give a free ambi kill.
The YER coupled with top tier acting skills is legendary.
Until my Target screams in VC😞
@@sunrupuk9634yeah it’s like cool idea but voice chat invalidates it completely if the victim can talk
@@TonySoprano-vy7kd not exactly, the enemies will probably turn around, but they will take an extra second to find you, allowing you to get 1 or 2 more kills or get away.
@@sunrupuk9634 it takes a few seconds for that to happen, the person has to first realize they were stabbed, which due to the silent killer stat takes an extra second, seconds that are very valuable as a spy, it also depends on HOW the enemy calls it out, often times people will just say "SPY BEHIND YOU" and if they say that it actually will HELP you, because their team will look behind them, see the person calling out they spy and assume they were not the one stabbed, tho the chat icon will say they are dead, but again, it will take a second for someone to realize, every second counts as spy
Expect when they click their mouse on you the moment they see you
8:35 I adore this medic watching his pocket heavy suddenly turn into a sniper and thinking nothing of it
He’s smort
he lost calories
That one is definitely unexperienced, but you can see it was turning at other side when sniper got stabbed
i have Become the 200th liker
This weapon makes you FEEL like the red spy from the meet the series. “He could be any one of us…”
He could be in this very room!
He could be you! He could be me! He could even be-
@@BaconGamign WHOAH WHOAH WHOAH!
WHAT?! It was obvious,he's the red spy.
See! Red! Oh wait, that's blood.
Playing the YER now is like playing spy when tf2 was first released. Nobody really knows/ is too familiar with how to counter it and half of the playerbase doesn’t even know how it works. Hands down my favorite unlock in the game.
I use the wanga prick which is a mirror of yer, and I couldn’t agree more! It truly feels like the early days of dominating a server as the most underrated class!
I showed my friend one of your videos to get him comfortable with tf2, and now he will only play spy no matter what
Please dont let him catch spy brain rot, please
bro became french💀
@@More_Bread if you made half your name french you'd be in alot of pain

HE TEASED THE SONG 9 MONTHS PRIOR, WHAT A MADLAD
What?
@@holy_crusaderoftheholyland4713 there was a slight reference to hints Welcome to team fortress video that was released 1 month ago.
@@holy_crusaderoftheholyland4713the welcome the tf2
Huh? Where does he tease it?
@@the_random6826 19:00
I need to point out how the music really complimented the entire video.
It set the mood and allowed me to truely immerse myself in what the emotion and hype was all about.
Amazing work, man! Keep up the stupendous effort! ❤
Or did it?
First, we need to know what "compliment" and "Mood" mean.
The YER is probably my single most used knife in casual. The silent kills and instant disguise in the chaos of casual makes it so damn good. You can get away with so much
Just wish there was a strange version of the wanga prick, way cooler looking imo
@@Jonathan-sv2kf I definitely feel that the wangq prick is cool
In my opinion, this is the engineer nest DESTROYER.
Why you gotta talk like THAT?
True
@@victorpapillon1487because it feels GOOD
@@anguishedcarpet feels GEWD!!!
If you backtab an engi that is close to its sentry you wont die cuz of sentry
10:58 I believe the cloak and dagger actually synergises better with the YER than stock does if used correctly, as you said previously YER helps your longevity and so does the cloak and dagger because you’re not supposed to run with it as you would do with stock, you’re supposed to find good hiding spots behind the enemy lines where you can avoid bumping and crossfire, if used correctly it will help you save more cloak than stock will
You can disguise while invisible with that combo if you have max cloak while invisible. The one thing that happens is a short flicker and youre back to being unnoticeable.
@@WiseMysticalTree81actually in my experience there isn't even a short flicker because the flicker only happens when you move with no cloak
This is such a high quality, well edited, and informational video. Damn, you're gonna blow up, like, soon! Like, almost right now, even! Please remember me and all your other subs in the under 50K subs club when you do, okay?! Thanks, Hintshot! This shit rocks! 😀👍👍👍
i could never forget
I haven't played TF2 for years but the production value on this video hooked me in and the writing didn't let me go. The best editing, music and polish I've seen from a small channel possibly ever!
this is very nice of you thank you
Did you try the summer update? They added Saxton hale. Please do :)
The production value on this video is off the charts! How many hours of sleep did you give up for those animations??
Too many (crying emoji)
@@HintShot bro wasted days of sleep for 2 second like clips of jokes
@@HintShot*casually animates an oscar-worthy clip*
Real
Intro is better than the hol vid
I like to think that the reference in 19:00 is actually a hint that he was working in Welcome to Team Fortress
Hahaha i also notice that
13:09 that was a nice clean transition back stab of the scout and sniper.
The YER has been my favorite knife for a few months now, and I am passionate about it. It really does make it feel like you're playing Spy more like a... Spy. Getting a kill by truly fooling an enemy who KNOWS you're there is even more satisfying than trickstabs (most of the time at least), and this knife plays into that so well. I love seeing videos that cover it and how epic and cool it is, especially videos like this that're edited and organized so well :)
Get a strange one if you haven't already.
Oh hello PKBeats!
Bro, you’re like Uncle Dane, but for spies. I don’t say that lightly, I freaked love your content, educational and fun! Keep it up!

One big upside I don't see many people talking about witu the YER is how it basically nerfs a Disguised Spy's biggest enemy: Post-Spawn Wallhacks. Since you disguise immediately upon a backstab it becomes much harder to track a suddenly disguised Spy through the outline.
1:24 I'm watching this at five in the morning with the light out and that intro just flasbanged my face
Think fast chucklenuts!
Opening cinematic was already worth the wait👍 great video
Would be cool to have the old Saharan Spy Set activate for just this weapon by giving it silent cloaking and decloaking even if they decided to revert it back to it's old self before Jungle Inferno as that version of the weapon was really when you could call the Spy "sneaky"
FSOS Rebalance server gave it the silent decloak sound and LORD is it powerful. Not sure if they nerfed it but spies were getting away with some insane stabs with it
no, pay to win was a mistake and should never be re-added
@@LieseFury they're saying the feature of silent decloak and cloak should be added, not the full set idea, but as a feature of the weapon
@@TheGhostThatWasgood balance: lower the sound of the decloak, by like 30% and increase decloak time by 10%
thats would be sickk, if this knife had all the silence in the world then it be a force to be reckoned with for sure!
8:41 the medic is still healing you when you stabbed that sniper in the back lmao
The little animation at 8:26 is so good, really stylish and flashy. Keep up the good work!
I always forget just how good your videos are, pristine polish and production quality alongside some really excellent scripts.
Thank you
@@HintShot you are a first being that told how to change disgiused wepon and i litery screemed out of pure joy thank you good sir thank you
The YER is actually my favorite knife as Spy. I tought it was used often but no, and i was kinda surprised by that. This knife is the only weapon that make you feel like a real spy. Backstab someone, take his disguise and use your acting skill for as long as possible before getting caught.
Amazing video and amazing editing ! :)
honestly, my favorite way to use it is annoying engies who think their sentry will kill me as soon as i kill them, jokes on you, i am now you and can sapper your sentrie nest in peace
@@StabbyTheSkaven That's also why it's so good. You can kill anybody without the sentry noticing it.
I share the same thoughts.
As an engi i despise u all lol
2:30 bro thinks he’s vsauce
The production quality of this video is amazing! I love how you timed the title text with the piano jig. Lots of small, exquisite details like this. Bravo.
Edits, especially on the opening is top notch, greatly enjoyed :D
ppreciate it
7 mins in and cant get started on just how fun this video is to watch of the editing and greatly picked and placed music. 10/10, no one can come close to this level of quality for gaming related videos
I’m glad someone in the community is shining light on this amazing weapon.
I've been playing TF2 for 11 years, mained spy for pretty much that whole time. and I NEVER knew you could trigger the disguise reload. MIND BLOWN
you should read some loading screen tips
13:09 GAWT that transition
Dude your editing got so GOOD
This video was already amazing, but learning you made, not only your own great SFM stuff, but also your own SOUNDTRACK?! Great stuff!
YER has been my favorite for a long time, its best moments is when someone watches you backstab someone but they dont understand and leave their back open to you
Amazing video, I always loved the YER especially back when I was a kid first playing TF2. I think a neat buff to the YER that you didn't mention would be the ability to move at Spy base speed at will in slower disguises by pressing down a button. It'd help players adapt more and push the acting idea of the weapon I think.
That used to be a thing back in the day
i think TF2classic has that enabled and it's called spywalking
@@sdfggdfg5fgdfg That sounds cool af
I never really comment on YT but this video was so well edited, the script was so tight, every gag was so solid, that I just had to give you glowing praise. Amazing video :D
The sounds you did throughout the video added so much! Great video!
the faded screaming in the intro is Sexcellent >:3
So, as weirdly specific as it is, this knife is actually what got me into TF2. I was browsing the GMod workshop one night, saw the YER in it, and thought, "Hey, that's a damn cool looking knife." I checked what game it's from and found it's from TF2, which I got into and has been a significant part of the last 12+ years of my life. I've pretty much exclusively used this thing whenever I play Spy, at least until Jungle Inferno.
I'd really love to see it go back to the way it used to be, but even if it doesn't, it'll always hold a special place in my heart and at the bare minimum be the coolest looking spy knife in my opinion.
This is the first video of yours I have watched. And I must say, I am blown away by the production quality!
Beautiful video, and with excellent commentary and explaining. I love the quality and happy to wait for your next! Don't burn yourself out and stay awesome!
All your videos are always quality, yet I'm still especially amazed by your audio work every singe time. Like, I could probably fit the amount of UA-camrs I know that create their own soundtracks to their videos on one hand, and one of those people makes them for videos on a nearly 16 year old FPS and I love it.
:)))
Haven't even started it and the intro has me hooked and that transition to "Underrated" Your word play as well all of these are incredible
This will always be one of my favorites. Had to rewatch it after your new song dropped ❤️
The music throughout the entire video synergized so well with the general tone of the video and the vibe of the content you make - I'd give em a listen even outside of watching videos as songs of their own.
I'm glad you talked about how the instant disguise always puts you as the right class to be in. I have never been healed (and even ubered) as much by enemy medics while disguised as I have been while using this knife. It's my go-to knife for this reason alone
I have a Strange Prof. KS YER and I use it pretty much anytime I can. Not only does no one expect it at first, but it feels so much more satisfying slipping into specific roles to fool your enemies. Seeing your disguise actually work is amazing. The silent killer aspect also helps plenty to retain your stealthiness. From a YER enthusiast, I appreciate shedding some light on this masterpiece of a knife. Cheers.
The best part about a KS YER is that when you get a chain stab, because of the lack of kill feed, it discreetly tells each member of the opposite team how many backstabs they completely missed before you got to them
Love your videos mate :) I also like the soundtracks that accompany each of your videos, honestly great
Got chills several times through the video. Top notch. Absolutely phenomenal editing :)
you're too kind
The intro alone had so much effort put into it. You don't see that much nowadays. Instant sub, looking forward to more!
Thanks!!
12:40 and this is where CND becomes your hero.
One of the last things people expect is for the recently found out spy to hug a wall while using CND. The amount of times I've missed a YER stab, cloaked in a sneaky spot, redisguised and immediately walked back out undetected is insane.
Exactly! This is why Saharan set + CND is my favorite load out for spy
Hint keep it up bro, the editing and music just keeps getting better and better and the intro gives chills! Love the hard work and content ive watched this video many times in the last two days alone
This video is great! Watched it all the way through from the first click!
Also I'm not a damn bot!
8:25 Holy hell that is so smooth
probably the most stealth focused knife in spies arsenal, you become like a shadow creeping in the night carrying a dagger.
This whole video is great but I gotta say, that little SFM intro chainstab sequence combined with your music was fuckin SMOOTH
i don't know if everyone suddenly agreeded to use the YER and make content about it but i'm loving it, as a stealth games aficionado i love the fact that you can really go under the radar with this knife
i wonder if playing TF2 right after playing dishonored would make me better at spy. in either case you are practically invisible should you be at a slightly elevated position
your visuals are amazing man, many of the frames in this video could be turned into a wallpaper or a picture or painting that could be hung to a wall, good job
The editing on this video is masterful. Some great transitions.
Such dedication, great creation - thanks for the hard work !
You've really gone above and beyond with the editing in this video. Well done!
Makes me so happy to see another video on this knife! I've loved how the YER makes you play Spy since I first started TF2, and while I'm upset about the added cloak drain downside, I still find the YER to be my default pick when playing Spy. It's an extremely effective and underrated weapon choice, and you're one of the first people to elaborate on how it requires a decent knowledge on using disguises which is one of my favorite parts of its playstyle and your video!
Absolutely fantastic editing, round of applause for something I haven't seen talked about
seriously, the editing on this video is top notch. The intro is insane, and the vid kept me hooked. Altogether a great vid on an underrated knife, loved it!
I gotta say that the editing in this video is absolutely insane you did such and amazing job
Amazing music! Can't believe you made it yourself, but many people have talents others don't usually see!
SPEAKING OF UNDERRATED
This entire video is superbly done, from the intro animation to the intro animation, you definitely earned a sub from me.
I couldn’t help myself but to rewatch this just for the smooth transitions and editing. It’s just too good to resist
The YER has always been and probably will always be my favorite spy knife. It's such a different way to play that (unlike some knives) you can't just rely on getting 5 trickstabs in a row. It actually makes you think about how you play spy more, and just using this knife as much as I do has made me such a better spy because with it, I actually know how to properly disguise and act to not be noticed. The cloak drain imo isn't that bad, because it puts more focus on acting instead of just disappearing to get out of situations. Tbf it might also just be that I use this knife (without the l'tranger) so much that I'm used to the reduced cloak. Overall, good weapon, and I'm glad to see it getting more love recently.
This video is absolutely phenomenal. It’s always been my favorite knife but I rarely play spy so I never could quite figure out why it was so fun to me. There is nothing more fun to me than convincing an entire team that I’m on their team, so I’ve always been good at the acting, but not so much the posistion of my disguise. This really helped put into perspective why it’s so fun to me. Thank you man
Thank YOU for the kind words
I’ve seen this kind of production quality only once before, and it was another Hintshot video.
Damn, really happy this just showed up on my youtube recommend after just recently coming back to tf2. Watched a few of your vids and realised your really funny, very skilled in editing and actually are making a scout main wanna try spy!
Hope to see more of you in the future!
I've never played TF2, but the production value on this video is amazing is UGHH. Amazing.
Hey! I’ve never been a huge tf2 fan, but this video is top notch. Held my attention the whole way through. The editing, scripts, sound effects, jokes, and everything else were fantastic. Massive props my dude.
Thank you
@@HintShot most welcome.
This might just be the most well edited and polished video I've ever seen.
That opening animation is simply perfect.
I doubt you'll see this HintShot, but I might as well try to express what I think.
Personally, I believe you're one of the best UA-camrs in the TF2 scene that covers Spy content. You don't try to go for flashy trickstabs all the time, nor constantly use the "meta" loadout of the L'Etranger, Kunai, and Ringer. You play to your strengths and play the Spy as intended; a somewhat-powerful pick-oriented class that needs mind games, quick thinking, and a calm mind to perform well. You obviously spend hours upon hours on whatever you create and it's always astonishing.
Thanks for all the content and amazing Spy gameplay. Despite my five years playing TF2 with most on Spy, I aspire you reach the level of class and skill you depict in these games.
Cheers.
I did see this
Thank you, sincerely, this means a lot
@@HintShot
Wasn't expecting this! Of course, it's an honor. Keep gettin' those stabs and don't forget it's fine to take bits away to recharge those backstab batteries. Best of luck and perhaps we'll see each other in game by chance. :)
Your vids are amazing dude! I just got back into TF2 wanting to learn Spy, and your SpyTalk vids are giving me life!
these videos are what got me into tf2 they are truly the most well edited videos i've watched on a game of any kind
I’ve recently been having a fun time using the goofy combo of Dead Ringer and YER
Still don't understand why they nerfed it
Why is no one talking about that insanely animated intro?! That was so cool!
Also it is nice to see other people think that the YER is not as bad as it put out to be.
I’ve had this idea lurking around my head on how to switch up the YER a bit:
On backstab, if you’re covered in any fire, Jarate, milk, etc, it will be removed from you when disguised. This will only work for the knife however, so regular disguise will still have the effect on you.
I do agree with removing the drain 100%. I love customizing my loadouts for any class! (I’m looking at you, Crossbow-Übersaw Medic)
found ur content from ur music and i have to say i am absolutely obsessed
Well worth the wait 👍
Honestly I love this video, it just stands out as really well made
The visuals the transitions and editing so well done I love it
the production quality on this video is INSANE, holy shit. great job man
I was sold on this video in the first minute in a half. Good work!
been playing spy for the better part of 7 years or so and finally a video that summarizes what you actually 'do' to make your disguises convincing. very well put together video and you've convinced me to try out the YER.
For some reason. A big factor for why I come back to watch this video over and over again is due to that intro. I can’t stop watching it!!!
Wow what an amazing intro! Made me feel like I was watching a bond movie. Nice editing
bro your intro is sick. And the music is amazing.
Intro alone is superb. Subscription earned. God speed!
Ok, I saw this video and immediately started playing with the YER… I believe I have found my favorite way of playing this game. I constantly get 10+ killstreaks and top score, AS SPY! thank you for opening my eyes, amazing video as always 😊
I just came across ur channel and i gotta say, these are some quality videos man, even though i havent played any Tf2, the way you explain every detail presented is so entertaining to watch. Also the music goes along way and the fact is made by u is incredible, keep up the good work man, i will be waiting for the next video. u just earned a new subscriber, very well earned
Random recommended vid I do not regret watching. The quality caught me immediately
The yer is basically a movie spy's knife
This does include the music, perfect
