The Disguise Kit, also known as the Spytron 3000, is the default PDA weapon for the Spy. It is an ordinary cigarette case that, in addition to six normal cigarettes, contains hidden spytech.
The purpose of this weapon is to allow the player to disguise as any class on either team. When selected, the disguise menu fills most of the screen, making in game movements difficult. Players can select class disguises individually with the correct keys, and switch between teams with a single key. Where the minimal Disguise Kit menu has been enabled via the advanced options menu, the player only needs to use specific keys to disguise as certain classes, with no ability to choose individually.
Disguising is carried out over a couple of seconds, during which smoke particles will surround the Spy if viewed by another player. Once finished, a line drawing of the Spy shows up briefly on the player's screen to indicate a successful disguise. The Spy's current disguise class, name, health and weapon will then appear in the HUD. The status of enemy Medics currently healing the Spy will also be shown. The line drawing also appears when the disguise is broken. Pressing the "last disguise" button allows the player to change their disguised weapon to one from the slot they currently have equipped.
The Disguise Kit is unavailable to Spy players who equip Your Eternal Reward.

Update history
- Fixed cloaked/disguised/disguising Spy reporting his achievements to everyone else
- Added "Toggle Disguise Team" binding in Options -> Keyboard to toggle the disguise team for the Spy's PDA.
- Changed PDA menus to accept keys bound to "slot1", "slot2", etc., and "slot10" cancels.
- Improved prediction of Spy's speed changes when disguising.
- When disguising, Spies now always start showing the primary weapon in their disguise, and can then switch it with the last-disguise key.
- Fixed Spies being able to disguise while performing a taunt.
December 17, 2009 Patch (WAR! Update)
- Alternative Spy disguise menu, which lets you choose disguises using just the 1-3 keys
- Fixed a server crash caused by disguising Spies
Bugs
- Masks applied to the Spy clip with his cigarette in world view.
- Switching class in spawn while disguised hides certain parts of the player's model, such as the Pyro's gas mask and the Heavy's Fists.
- As disguises will appear to enemies with the default hat, there are instances where the worn hat of the disguise subject will also appear and thus cause significant clipping issues.
- When disguised as a player wearing an Unusual Hat, the particle effect will not be reproduced.
Trivia
- Although very rarely used, the Spy can undisguise without attacking. Pressing the change team key when using the kit and selecting Spy will effectively cause the player to disguise as a friendly Spy and therefore themselves.
