The following tutorial is my personal opinion about the title topic. You will learn in here how to go behing enemy teleporter and stab people upon their respawn. I tagged this tutorial to be both for spy and enginner, because enginner players may understand how ridiculous it is to leave a teleporter unguarded.

Recommended Skill Level: Intermediate or Higher


If you had to sap teleporter you would drag attention towards you and people would simply upon destroying it go on foot. If you stab them, they will die instantly having to respawn.


The best loadout you can take on this "quest" is:

Revolver:

L'Étranger- It's increased maximum invisibility time will make you take less time to go into target zone. You can select it if you are frail at accurate targetting.

or

Diamondback- Once you get some progress at stabbing people you can use this in order to kill those, who noticed what you are doing.


Knife:

Your Eternal Reward- Some enemies are not eager to speak on chat about spy stabbing them with this and chat is completely not revealing you. You can pretend to be a person, who just teleported out to make trespassers ignore you for a short time.

or

Spy-Cicle- If a flame hits you while going to a teleporter or once camping you can still hide. Does not consume cloaking as fast as above and allows free disguise kit usage. Enemy enginner may notice there is a spy killing people upon teleporting more easily with this knife, so you are using this weapon for your own risk.


Invisibility:

Anything. Regular invisibility watch encourages you to move on with greater maximum capacity and collects invisibility energy from boxes and enemy dispensers while still cloaking, Cloak and Dagger makes you able to watch area a little bit before moving on and Dead Ringer is for those who know how to sneak without cloaking.

Sapper:

Any. Use it only, when you decide to do so, but it will drag their attention towards you.


There are three effective ways of finding teleporter. Note that we are searching for teleporter far from constructions, but not too far. Effective range is at least about 18 meters from constructions. Enginner rarely or never checks a teleproter like it.

1. Searching Near Enginner Nests:

If you see a large amount of sentries somewhere (2 or more), there is a good chance, that someone just set a teleporter far from the rest of constructions. Greater nest means greater chance for it. If so you have just located a backup teleporter.

2. Seeking Near Your Spawn, While Enemy Makes Progress:

If you just saw before enemy engineer using Gunslinger there is a chance this guy is gonna sneak so well into your territory behind the lines he will decide to plant a teleporter, before having to die somewhere else. If this teleporter is lower level than 3 enginner may try to upgrade it from his team's spawn, so spare it like it is. You may decide to tell your team to spare it, but they don't always tolerate you. Some of your teammates may decide to watch how you stab people instead of helping on the front, so your fun of stabbing may cost your team defeat.

3. Going to Enemy Spawn and Teleporting:

Simply sneak into enemy spawn and teleport. If there are 2 teleporters you may risk to sap one of them to check if engie reacts for it. If you sap a teleporter, that quickly gets repaired take second one. If there are more than 3 teleporters keep doing so. Even if you fail to figure out which one is correct exits of those teleporters are often not placed far from each other.


Regardless of below things the longer you are camping the more enemy is encouraged in taking you down.

Assuming you are using Cloak and Dagger try to figure out, which direction a teleported person is gonna face upon appearing and stand behind this direction of the teleporter. You are now in position. DO NOT STAND ON TOP OF TELEPORTER AT ALL COST, YOU'RE GONNA LOSE YOUR REPUTATION! Equip your knife and stab anyone who teleports. If you are using Your Eternal Reward you are less likely gonna attract nearby enemies as they won't receive instant message and scream of a victim informing about you. Remember' that some players don't speak at all about things like it and your plan is not being ruined by them this way. You are also instantly disguised as that person, so if they spot a teleporter recharging, they're gonna ignore you and they will believe you are one of them, just behave naturally and don't walk into them. There is a high chance for it.

Try not to stab them too fast if your reflexes are professional. A sniper with razorback may break the conspiracy.

Advanced: After stabbing a victim move forward somewhere else, so it won't look like on victim's afterlife camera you are camping. Camera gets instantly activated for 3 seconds after death, after this time you can return to your position, if nobody sees you.


The situation is as dramatic as experienced and skiled at playing TF2 is the sniper. Assuming you have Dead Ringer equipped you can quickly open it to fake your death. You may even continue camping if sniper is no longer interested in you.

Assuming you have diamondback with 2 critical hits and you have very good accuracy you can take that sniper in 2 shots. Remember, that you are locked on your kife for some time after stabbing the razorback.

You may also simply leave sniper alone and don't stab him. If you have Invisibility Watch or Cloak and Dagger you can simply cloak until he goes away.


There you go!
