Spy Backstab Exploit

Its possible to backstab front facing players by priming your butterfly knife on front facing players and then changing your target to your victim.

This YouTube is the best example of how to preform the exploit. Its all about timing.



At first glance you would say that this is a critical knife to the front. Please notice the icon in the upper right corner that clearly marks the kill as a backstab.

A more advanced version of this "facestab" can be done by using movement to prime your backstab on the same player you kill.
