The Enforcer is an unlockable primary weapon for the spy released in the Uber update in 2011 that replaces his stock revolver with one that benefits from surprise attacks as it does more damage if you're disguised. This weapon also excels at getting through damage resistance (wrangler and vaccinator).

The downside to this is that it fires 20% slower and deals no random crits.

This weapon rarely sees use and if it does it's just to annoy vaccinator medics despite it not being that bad assuming you can land your shot when you're disguised with it dealing 72 damage when disguised.

Over the years this weapon has been changed as upon release it dealt 20% extra damage but you cloaked 0.5 seconds slower. In 2012 it was changed to the firing speed debuff instead of the cloak delay whilst keeping the 20% damage buff. This weapon was very good and was a key part of the annoying spy loadout of the time "Dr. Enforcicle" which was the Enforcer, Spy-Cicle and Dead Ringer.

Feel free to discuss the weapon here. Anything that you like/dislike, cool tips or strategies, interesting stories, etc. If you feel the weapon is not to your liking, feel free to express your opinions in a respectful manner.
