But nothing about how you can get them

Team Fortress 2 is one of the most popular online first-person shooters out there, thanks to the many possibilities it offers to players and the wide variety of character classes, each with its own attributes and drawbacks, available to all users from the beginning of the game.

The title has been in the spotlight of the gaming press lately as it was set to receive its newest content update, dedicated to the Sniper. After the class got two brand-new items, an offensive weapon and a defensive shield, along with a new gameplay mode and maps for the ever-so-popular Arena mode, the team at Valve decided to introduce a surprise, as the Spy class backstabbed the Sniper and stole his update, turning it into its own.

After having received two brand new watches on Friday, which further increased his abilities, the Spy has now formally gotten his introduction video, even though it was leaked on the Internet a few days before. Alongside this new introduction to the history of the character, a set of new achievements have been introduced.

But don't think you'll just be able to read about the achievements and see what you have to do in order to unlock them, as Valve has decided to make players put their thinking caps on and showcase their Spy skills so as to figure out just what feats are required to get these new achievements. You'll only have the name and the icon of the achievement to go on, but some of them are quite simple.

Also, at the end of the Spy achievements, Valve revealed a special one that it had unlocked, after a clumsy employee forgot to check the private option when he or she uploaded the Meet the Spy video on YouTube, which was the source of the leak.

Look forward to more details about this interesting update in the days to come.
