Dead by Daylight - Team Fortress 2 / The Spy: Chase Theme 

Spy's mori should have him say "well, off to visit your mother."

Spy:" What do you want from me, creature." The entity: *Opens a briefcase full of crisp 100 dollar bills* Spy: "Understood. When do I start."

the legion we got: group of teens with a knife that run fast the legion people wanted:

"I tried to take the guy with the gas mask but he kept burning the map down" - The Entity

"That Dwight is a spy!"

imagine this situation: you hear the chase music, but you cant see the spy

The most terrifying thing the entity can throw at you - The French 😱

"You died as you lived, RUNNING AWAY!"

I imagine that the lore for this is that the entity just paid spy to show up Like there is so superstitious, lore-related reason The entity just coughed up a couple grand and Spy said he’d do it

The more I think about it, the more it fits for the spy to be a killer

Gets hit by a pallet: “oh good, a concussion”

Spy is... Perfect for a dead by daylight killer. A man who works from the shadows, picking off your team one by one, whittling down your sanity the whole while. Hunting, chasing, a silent killer. Truely a force to be reckoned with.

Meg: “Any idea where the Killer went?” Dwight: “Right behind you.” *Crit sound effect*

I like how the themes really capture the unease that the spy would logically create

Imagine being a survivor running up to help another survivor with a generator and all the sudden the Generator starts sparking electricity like crazy like it got sapped then that survivor that was just doing the generator stabs you and the music just immediately kicks in. I can also already imagine the fun addons you can have for him like a perk called Big Earner that reduces the speed penalty upon landing a successful stab or Red Tape Recorder which removes your ability to "kick" generators while disguised but in turn gives you the ability to slowly drain progress from the generator until a survivor comes to work on said generator

I love how there’s the bongos in the Chase is that little bit of alluding that he’s scouts father, just a hint of himself passed down to scouts, love of bongos and his theme

Killer perk: Allied Impostor When the killer hooks a survivor, the other survivors are not alerted. This allows Spy to disguise himself as the survivor he just hooked.

"May I make a suggestion? Run."

*Spy:* Base comes with one butterfly knife. Landing 3 successful hits on victims fills the load bar and grants access to the revolver. With the given revolvers you can land 3 successful hits on a healthy victim, crippling them and inflicting heavy wounds. (Revolver has 6 bullets in the chamber, no reloads.) 80 seconds cooldown once revolver activated. If Revolver not used in 20 seconds, Spy slowly replaces it with the knife. *Disruptor device:* It can be placed in any generator above 50%. Usage rights per match: 3 (can be increased with add-ons) Placing a disruptor on a generator above 50% will slowly but cautiously degrade the generator. It can be broken after a 2-second hit animation with wrenches found in the vicinity. *Spy: Disguise:* This ability of the mercenary allows him to disguise himself as the victim every 120 seconds (up to 30 seconds per completed generator). The disguise can be heard up to 40 meters away, but after that it is completely silent and indistinguishable. To recognize a disguised spy, you can shine a flashlight at him. Shining a flashlight at a disguised spy for more than 2 seconds will disguise him and stun him for a short time. If the Spy stabs a healthy victim in the back during this time with a short attack animation, it will put the victim directly into a down state. *Spy: Perks:* (Special thanks to @frogmanfromthesky2148 for his name ideas) *Hex: Right behind you:* An active totem will light up, removing the animation of a disguised Spy stabbing a victim in the back, allowing him to deliver a fairly quick blow. It also eliminates the disguised Spy's footsteps. *Seduce me:* Shining a flashlight on the Spy, disguised or direct, gives him immense pleasure. The disguised Spy's disguise removal time with the flashlight adds an additional 0.1 seconds, and shining a light on the Spy speeds him up a bit (up to 4 stacks). *Any one of us:* And worst of all he could be any of one of us, he could be you, he could be me! even he could-... When the Spy is disguised, a fake Spy enters the line of sight of the nearest survivor and disappears behind an obstacle. This effect is almost indistinguishable and can be disorienting. *Note:* Disguising will remove the terror field and red glow. *Note:* When playing survivor, now you can warn the others if someone is Spy with interaction button. If Spy hit's a survivor with his knife, these lines goes in: First hit: -"You got blood on my suit." First hit With a revolver: -"As if I would get blood on a 3000 dollar suit." Second Hit taking down after a chase: -"Ooh, you we're quick as a little bunny, weren't you?" First econcuer: -"May I make a suggestion? Run." Hitting after a chase: -"Weren't you supposed to be good at dodging?" Suprise Attack: -"Suprise!" Back stabbing while disguised: -"I never really was on your side." Taking down someone with hit: -"Shock, bloodloss, infection. Ohoho.. I love stabbing." Ending someone with mori: -"Let's just get to the point." Zapping a generator: -"I murdered your hopes as well."

Thing is. Spy would agree to be a killer of the entity for the right price. He's ruthless enough.

"So, your deadly skill is jogging? Mine is murdering people."

Before the chase part, I could hear Spy whispering "Right behind you..."

"He's right behind me isn't he" "You stole my line."

Finally a horror based "Right Behind you" you'd think there would be more of this

I wish more killers and their themes were like this. There are so many "objectively horrifying monster with spooky powers" in DBD. The Spy is not a monster, not in the traditional sense. He's a professional. A cold, dangerous, suave man who kills for his day job. Someone who does a job cleanly, and professionally. He's not physically imposing or deformed or anything at all. Despite that, he is extremely deadly, ruthless, and clever. He has accomplished and killed so much and so many in-lore and out of lore. He's human. He's a human with a particular set of skills (lol) and some minor technological buffs, but he is still human. He has no major inherent advantages. No unfathomable cosmic horrors, no ghosts, no spirits, no demons. No T-Virus, no knights, no drones, no bile, no twin. He's just a man. *And that is why he is horrifying.*

The Community version of the Spy: Spycrabs, currently an underpowered class, makes a lot of "your mom" jokes, etc. Lore Accurate Spy:

Ok but a shapeshifter killer will actually be scary. You cant even trust your own teamates. He could be you, he could be him, he could even be right behind you

I love how Scout's bongos take over for the chase bit as chasing isn't Spy's strongsuit, but rather his son's.

"This Spy has already breached our defenses..." "You've seen what he's done to our colleagues!" "And worst of all, 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..." "Right behind you."

(while carrying a survivor) This is a 10.000 dollar suit, you better not bleed on it!

Imagine the music stopping all of a sudden and you hear a... "Right Behind you"

In Tf2, you chase the spy In Dbd, the spy chases you

Perks: Hex: Right behind you Seduce me Any one of us

One of his powers OBVIOUSLY would be disguising himself as one of the survivors

Spy would be such a scary killer to the survivors because of how human he is and the fact he can disguise. We need this guy as a killer.

Killer: The Mercenary Speed: 115% Height: Short (Same as a Survivor) Terror Radius: 24m Weapon: Butterfly Knife Power: Tools of the Trade Primary Ability: Disguise Kit Over the course of 60 seconds, the power bar will fill up, successfully landing a basic attack against a survivor increases the bar by 25% (equivalent of 15 seconds of charge), when the bar is full The Mercenary can press the secondary ability button to activate the Disguise Kit for 60 seconds. While the ability is active, the health state and activity of survivors is hidden from each other (The UI is covered in disguise smoke). Additionally, all survivors are clouded in disguise smoke and cannot distinguish one from another. While the ability is active, The Mercenary has the Undetectable status effect and is also covered in disguise kit smoke, making them impossible to distinguish from a normal survivor. Additionally, While active, survivors doing Conspicuous Actions have the Exposed status effect, which lasts for the duration they are doing the action and for 5 seconds after. Secondary Ability: Invis-Watch Press and hold the power button to turn invisible. While invisible, The Mercenary has the undetectable status effect and cannot be seen. While active, this ability rapidly drains charges at a rate of 2 charges per second, while inactive it regains 1 charge per second, the invisibility meter has a maximum of 10 charges (5 total seconds active, 10 seconds to fully recharge). If you are pallet stunned while invisible, your stun duration is significantly increased and you lose all of your invisibility meter. While invisible, you cannot attack. If you hit a survivor doing a conspicuous action (except unhooking another survivor) within 2 seconds of deactivating the power, they take double damage. Perks: The Sapper: Whenever you kick a generator, it gains a sapper. The sapper remains on the generator until survivors repair 25% of it's charges. Generators with sappers on them have their aura revealed to you, with the auras intensity determined by the progression of the generator (Generators that are closer to being completed will be brighter). If a generator with a sapper on it is not being repaired for 10 consecutive seconds, the generator automatically begins to regress as though it was kicked. Finally, if a generator with a sapper on it remains at 0 charges for 15 consecutive seconds, the generator becomes blocked for 90 seconds and the sapper is removed. Enforcer: Injured survivors suffering from the Exposed status effect cannot gain or benefit from the endurance status effect (Except for endurance granted by being unhooked). (For example, if an injured survivor is exposed by Hex: No One Escapes Death and attempts to use Dead Hard, they won't gain the endurance and would be downed as normal if hit, they would still gain exhaustion though.). Finally, the UI indicates if a survivor has the exposed condition by placing a skull marker next to their health state indicator. Backstab: Your speed while lunging is increased by 100%, however the distance of your lung is decreased by 50%. (This effect cancels itself out, you lunge the exact same distance, you just do it in half the time.)

Interupting someone that is healing themselves or someone else. "YOU ARE SUCH A BAD DOCTOR! HAHAHAHAHHAHA."

i love the idea that the spy is on the same level of power as the other killers, which is why he's not a survivor unlike bill. like yeah, spy could totally trickstab pyramid head i believe it

“Come on! We have to go, NOW!” “Sorry…” *spy reveal* “I never really was on your side”

The best part is that we already have Bill from L4D as a Survivor, so having a Killer from a VALVe game is absolutely a possibility.

“I am the only sane one here” - Emesis Blu Spy

I feel like rather the entity just yoinks him into the realm, they just bribe the spy with some absurdly expensive stuff to kill.

> hears chase music > can’t see the killer > runs away in a random direction > ends up bumping INTO the killer > the killer is a Spy > “There’s a Spy ‘round here-“ > gets killed > no regrets

I think the best way to make a trailer for the Spy would be to make him almost never present or visible as 'The Spy', instead going in and out of cloak and only stabbing from blindspots. That is, until the very end, when it's just two survivors left and they're escaping. First says something to the degree of, 'Thank god we escaped, let's get out of here.' Followed by a succinct 'Right Behind you', paired with the disguise kit sound effect as the trailer ends.

I love how the very first piano section has this sort of an... Uneven rhythm, for lack of a better word? It's like someone taking in a shaky breath, and slowly letting it out to try and calm themself down, because this guy could be anywhere, looking like _anyone._ I don't actually know much about Dead By Daylight, but I like to imagine that even as he chases you, he simply sprints, looking calm and dignified as ever. He's not worried about you getting away. He knows he'll catch up to you.

Honestly I would say DBD seems too brutal for Spy, but that's just it, he wouldn't be brutal or messy. He would be clean, quick, and calculating. A killer like this would be the true extent of how scary someone who kills for a job would be. It's not a calling, not a hunger. Perhaps theres a few screws loose in him, but it doesn't give him ecstatic enjoyment to do it, it's just his career choice, and you're the hit of the day.

Imagine for a mori he just insults the survivor like "Merde, you got blood on my suit."

Would be really good if spy terror radius was just the entire map, you can never be sure where he is, or who to trust, and the suspense music would be constantly looping, keeping you uneasy, and to make it worse, the different ranges would randomly play even if he is not nearby, to really give survivors that paranoia

So this is what the people in Emisis Blue heard

Here's something I noticed about this theme: most killer themes are really quiet until they're VERY near or actively giving chase. Spy's theme is really noticable even when he's distant. But this makes sense as it's likley his abilities would revolve around disguising as other players and going invisible.

Powers: Disguise kit: Take the form of a survivor, fake survivor actions like repairing (no terror radius for obvious reasons), attacking breaks the disguise Sapper: for dealing with gens, survivors have to remove the sapper to get back to repairing (or just use the sapper as his damage gens animation) Add ons: Dead Ringer: Reduce duration of stuns and blinds while turning invisible and leaving a copy going through the whole stun animation, long cooldown per use Cloak and Dagger: Invisible and undetecable while standing still, moving does not immidiately break the effect but will cause nearby survivors to hear the terror radius faintly Eternal Reward: Downing a survivor does not alert other survivors, disguise as the downed survivor after hit animation ends Le'thrangler: Reduces cooldown on disguising as a survivor Big Earner: Gain haste after hitting a survivor when disguised Diamondback: Gain a token each time you sap a gen, hitting a survivor while disguised consumes a token to apply deep wound (or some other effect to make it count as an iridecend, idk) Enforcer and other weapons: Apply buff/debuff on hitting a survivor when disguised (idk man, the hell you think his kunai should do in this context and still be balanced?) Mori: Spy tells the survivor "promise not to bleed on my suit and I'll kill you quickly.", then pulls out The Ambassador and shoots the survivor laying down in the head, putting the gun away, tossing his cigarette on the survivor before grabbing a new one from his disguise kit and lighting it and proceeding with the others. This is just business to him after all

"May I make a suggestion? Run." Also, actual suggestion, a Big Daddy from Bioshock. Would honestly be a perfect killer.

This is what people were expecting when they first saw the legions trailer Also "ahem, gentlemen"

imagine you are hiding from a killer, you hear a sound behind you and he appears form thin air and stabs you with a knife, just for him to say: DID YOU FORGET ABOUT ME, and then he is gone again, like he was never there

The fact that this is within the bounds of DBD lore and hasn't been done yet is crazy

"'Well, off to visit your mother!'" - The Spy, when he mori's a Survivor.

Pyro is personally my most wanted TF2 mercenary as a killer, but I can't deny how good of a pick Spy is. The ability to disguise as a survivor would make for one of the most unique play styles in all of DBD, plus all his other tools in the invisibility watch, sapper, and the ability to backstab that could either make for a great secondary power or equippable killer perks. It's so awesome to see TF2 continue to be an internet icon 17 years strong, because the game definitely needs support now more than ever. Fantastic composition as always!

And worst of all... He COULD BE ANY ONE OF US!

"You know, hiding will not save you". "I see you"

Him being able to disguise as survivors could be super interesting fr. Also it would be cool if at the start he was disguised as a different killer.

I can imagine his killer title being something like; “The Saboteur”

Not going to lie it be crazy if The spy was in the entity realm i’ll be wacky but scary and awesome

I’m literally going to break into the dbd devs houses and demand them to add spy. Just think of the ability’s he could have cloak, disguise, or even be able to instantly knock down survivors when hitting them from the back. He’s perfect

Imagine walking home alone at night but then suddenly you hear this

I can see it now, A group of 5 survivors in a circle together, one points at the other, and the one that was pointed at just lunges at the tattletale with 3:28 starting to blast as everyone runs away. Pure, utter panic; like what a good Spy main would cause.

Imagine if it played the proximity themes based on your distance to the undisguised spy and any survivor, so you're never sure who isn't the spy

When you are repairing a gen with other fellas and one of them suddenly attacks the others💀💀💀

I love this! The escalation in intensity is so good!

"Sorry to pop in unannounced."

I was immediately sold on this when I heard The Spy’s theme in the background And The Spy (for as jarring as it would be character wise) would actually work really damn well as a Killer. The Spy’s gameplay mechanic of disguising himself as others could be translated wonderfully into DBD Like The Spy’s mechanic could be that immediately after downing a Survivor or using his Mori on them, The Spy could disguise himself as whoever he just killed It would just make a typical game of Dead by Daylight even more stress inducing since now, you have no idea whether or not you can trust your fellow survivors Hell I’m half tempted to say that maybe whenever The Spy attacks from the back, the survivor he hits is instantly downed replicating the insta-kill backstabs from TF2

You got blood all over my suit… but yet none on my knife…

Dwight, Meg, David and Claudette stand around a fire looking towards something obscured by the flames "I don't know how or why I ended up here, but I do know this much." 0:08 The camera pans up to reveal to Scout standing at the opposite end of the fire "Something followed me... Something real bad... And none of us are safe from it." 0:32 Cut to a lit cigarette on the ground being stomped out by a black dress shoe "None of the monsters here with their freaky powers even come close to what that man is capable of." Cut to a generator being repaired as a silhouetted figure slowly approaches from behind "Sure, there are a thousand ways to get killed in this place, but-" Cut to someone's body falling to the ground with a knife plunged into their back "-With the rest, death is the end of it all..." The camera pans up from the body to a man in a blue suit whose head is just above frame "You don't get so lucky with this guy..." A mirage forms around the mans body as he assumes the shape of his victim 1:17 Cut back to scout talking to the rest of the survivors "I know I just showed up, but if you don't listen to what I'm about to say, you're gonna wind up dead next." Cut to a gloved hand twirling around a butterfly knife "We aren't dealing with some crazed psycho, this man is a cold, calculated assassin!" Cut to the same knife being used to cut the wires of a generator, causing the pistons to explode and slow to a stop "He'll learn your every strength and weakness by just looking at you!" Cut to someone being thrown onto a hook with tape over their mouth "He'll be one step ahead of your every move!" Cut to someone being yanked out of a locker "And sooner or later, he WILL out smart you..." 2:40 Cut to a pistol being fired into someones back as they try to jump through a window Cut back to Scout shaking in fear as he speaks "No matter where you are, no matter what you're doing, no matter how safe you might feel, you better watch your 6!" Cut to a POV shot walking up behind Dwight Cut back to Scout "Because if you don't know exactly where he is, then he's probably-" Scout gets interrupted as the camera cuts to Dwight being stabbed in the back by Claudette, whose appearance shifts and transforms into that of the Spy "Right behind you..." 3:28

Perks: Right Behind You - Upon beginning a chase with a survivor, they gain the 'Exposed' status for 1/2/3 seconds. Once activated, this perk deactivates until you hook a different survivor. "He could even be..." Sapper - When in front of generator, you may press [Ability Button] to begin placing a Sapper on it. After 15/12/10 seconds, the sapper will activate and begin draining the generator's progress. A survivor can destroy the sapper in either state if they then make their way to the generator. If a sapper's generator has 0% completion, the sapper will be destroyed. When a sapper is destroyed in any way while active, the killer and all survivors get a loud noise notification. Only one sapper can be active at a time. "...I murdered your toys as well." Paranoia - Whenever all survivors on the map are outside of your terror radius, they receive a 2%/3%/4% decrease in speed when repairing generators, healing others, or opening chests. Your terror radius is decreased by 4 meters. "This spy has already breached our defenses."

The "Right Behind You" motif is absolutely perfect. My only complaint is that I wish that motif was stronger during the "Chase" part.

This is awesome!

For the mento mori he should throw pictures of the survivors mothers on their dead bodies

"I was really never on your side" -3 seconds later after hooking- "WELP, OFF TO VISIT YOUR MOTHER"

I feel like the 'Survivor' counterpart to the Spy would be the old Civilian class, but there'd be some potential if it was his son, Jeremy, or even his... Wife? Girlfriend? I forget what Scout's mom is to him in the comics. The way any of them'd get into the Entity's realm at all is likely due to a Respawn malfunction. And the way the Entity would get the Spy to cooperate would be to make him believe (willingly or unwillingly) that he's hunting down the remains of a losing enemy team (Losing teams in TF2 are weaponless and can only run away.) Alternatively, he could be led to believe that the survivors are aware of his identity, and he has to kill or sacrifice them to keep it. In the case of the Civilian, that would definitely help the entity's case, as he could've been an ex-contractor for the Spy, but for Scout/The Mom, Spy'd probably just assume they were either an enemy spy disguised as them, or that the whole respawn machine bit would send them back to where they came from. Lot of potential for this crossover but way too much thought process on my end over a really good song. Good work either way. 👍

The whole video up (until the last one), I was stuck thinking this would sound so much scarier and intense if the elegant piano started losing composure or a scrappier more intense instrument started overshadowing it; something to have the elegance of the theme break down and fall apart. While he's in the distance or approaching it would be the elegant soft piano intro, but as he gets near it would break down to represent the survivor's fear breaking down their perception of the character. This isn't simply ghost stories about a double agent walking amongst us anymore, this is a highly skilled mercenary that is actively hunting you and a few feet from your face. The intense horn works to a degree but still feels too grounded in TF2's colorful style rather than the dark and decrepit style of DBD. Ironically I started typing this JUST before the chase part kicked in and then the banger part hit lmao. The last part is incredible and really drives home all of what I think the other parts of this piece could use.

literal chills listening to this, amazing

I have some great ideas for the animations. Clearly, he has to spycrab over a window as his vault animation. As for pallet breaking, I’d like to think he pulls a miniature bread monster from up his sleeve, which jumps from his hand and digs into the pallet, breaking it. For gen kicking, he places his sapper on it for a moment and turns a dial before walking away. I doubt the locker grab would be anything special, except maybe the locker doors swing open without him touching it like the resupply locker does. For the survivor carrying animation, see Meet the Spy. Now for the Mori. As the Spy approaches the survivor, the survivor gets up, like in the Wesker Mori, and punches the Spy. Then the Spy keels over and dies. As the survivor kneels over to check the corpse, wondering if it was really that easy all along, the REAL Spy uncloaks behind them. He then grabs the survivor by the back of the neck, lifts them up, and plunges his knife into their back, dragging it all the way down, leaving a clean incision down their spine. Then the Spy drops the survivor in such a way that they land in the exact same pose as the dead ringer spy was.

I think we really have to have the Pyro next. The brutality of the Pyro would fit perfectly with DBD.

"he could be you! he could be me! he could even be-" *"...right behind you."*

OOOOHHH OOOOHHH ABSOLUTELY AMAZING OOH I LOVE THIS ALREADY

Spy oddly fits this, being able to turn completely invisible (unless you're right next to someone), and being able to literally disguise yourself as one of the survivors are great abilities. Not to mention his tools, a sapper to disable generators from being repaired for a time. A revolver for long range chip damage. And a knife that, if positioned properly, could instantly down any survivor. He honestly has the makings of a great, strong killer for DBD.

Wasn't expecting The Spy...I love this!

whenever i heard this for the first time, i instantly got chills during the chase sequence. then the second time, and third. REALLY creative especially with the theme surrounding the Meet The Spy film, and if Valve was a bit more courteous with the Team Fortress 2 IP nowadays, i would definitely see this in the game. Well done!

This is really good!

Next up, *Emesis Blue*

Spy would unironically make an amazing Killer in DBD

Oh this is just sick, so high quality, I love it~

wow, this is amazing!

Coming back with a second comment for my own pitch of the mori with a following paragraph: *The spy holsters his knife before bringing out the Ambassador. He looks down at the survivor with a cold stare, for he doesn't do this for thrills, revenge, or even his own sick and twisted pleasure. No, it was only business and nothing more. So, before shooting the survivor straight in the head, he will basically let out a line from either the "Good Job!" or Cheers section. "Fine Job.", "Well played.", "You have done well.", "The outcome was never really in doubt.", "What did they expect?", etc. By then, a gunshot will be made as the survivor lies limp on the ground. The Spy takes a moment to breathe out the cigarette smoke before flicking his current one onto the corpse and lighting a new one.* Edit: MINOR SPELLING MISTAKES. I LOST.

I imagine some gimmicks may include being able to deactivate the red stain and appear as a Survivor.

it's just perrrfect what ever you are doing keep on doing it man this is dope

I feel like a funny idle animation would be him trying to spycrab, but finding it stupid and stopping early.

For real, imagine a killer that could disguise as a survivor.

Survivor perk: Not one of us Due to your untrusting nature, you're less likely to believe who people say they are. When a survivor or the disguised Spy comes within 20 ft, you will get an alert of their presence. (This perk will deactivate any other perk that would normally activate near other player, such as Better Together or Bond.)

THIS IS SO GOOD

Oh boy, another day excuse to rant about the Legion! God they dropped the ball with that trailer, making us think they could disguise as survivors. I still really want a killer that can do that...
