Is It Safe?

Backstab 50 enemies who are capturing control points.

A fun achievement, this one has you playing the role as defense and offense in the same breath. Since you must kill 50 enemies on the control points, this achievement is not one that you can really farm. The most effective tactics to work towards this achievement is to cloak and disguise, get way behind enemy lines, and then join in with a group heading towards a control point behind their backs. As they begin capturing, stab them all to death. With any luck, you will get anywhere from one to five kills towards this achievement. It's a good achievement to work on in tandem with Deep Undercover, as that achievement has you sticking to one place for an extended period of time.

Note: The group of achievements in this part of the guide are very similar in that several of them have to do with control points. However, they are the only achievements to involve control points in this entire list. Great!

Joint Operation

Sap an enemy sentry within 3 seconds of a teammate sapping another.

Quite possibly the only achievement on this list that requires actual teamwork, this achievement is an easy, albeit rare, one to pull off. You will need somebody that can coordinate with you to plant sappers on the sentries, as well as two sentries that are reasonably close together. Watch for your fellow Spy to plant his sapper, and then plant your sapper as well. Not that you do not actually have to destroy the gun, you only have to place the sapper on it within 3 seconds of a Spy placing a saper on another enemy sentry.

To farm this achievement, have three friends join you in a sevrer: two Engineers on the enemy team and one Spy on your team. Have the Engineers set up next to each other, and as they do that, disguise yourselves. Then sap the sentries at the same time! You may also consider backstabbing the Engineers for Identity Theft (if you are disguised as one) or Sapsucker (for sapping their gun then backstabbing them).

Note: You have to sap a sentry, not a dispenser. Therefore, the enemy team must have two Engineers, both with built sentries and preferably close by so that you can time your sappers close to one another. However, there is no range limit for this achievement.

May I Cut In?

Backstab an enemy and the Medic healing him within 10 seconds of each other.

A very easy achievement for almost any Spy, this one traditionally has you breaking up the classic Medic and Heavy pair through liberal use of your knife. To easiest way to do this is the standard infiltration: get behind enemy lines, decloak and disguise while out of sight, then run up behind enemy players and start the slaughter. Kill a Medic and his target, and you've netted yourself another achievement!

To farm this one, you'll need two friends on the enemy team. have the Medic heal the other one, then backstab them both one right after the other. Like almost all of the achievements on this list, this one goes well with others, such as FYI I Am A Spy and Insurance Fraud.

Note: Your backstab is always an instant kill, so if you accidentally facestab (get a backstab from the front; a rare occurance) you will still get credit. Furthermore, you do not have to kill the Medic or his target in any aprticular order, as long as they are backstabbed within 10 seconds of each other.

On Her Majesty's Secret Surface

Start capping a capture point within a second of it becoming available.

Another easy or hard achievement, depending on the server you are playing on, map that is chosen, and team you are with. In short, you will need to be on the final point, decloaked and disguised, as your team captures the preceding point. Once they nap the point immediately before the one you are on, it should open up to capture. Slice your knife in mid-air to remove your disguise and start capturing the point.

Farming, funnily enough, can be done in the "waiting for other players" pre-round on an empty server. Get a friend to join your team (server needs to not have team auto-balance) and have him begin capturing a point. As it captures, run to the next, locked point. As soon as the point unlocks, you will start capturing it and the achievement will be acquired!

Note: Much like several of the other Spy achievements, this one references a famous spy-oriented piece of media. In this case, it reference On Her Majesty's Secret Surface, which was the only James Bond film to star George Lazenby in the titular role.

Point Breaker

Kill 15 enemies who are standing on a control point they own.

This achievement, much like Is It Safe?, is not an achievement that you will want to farm. This is because it will probably be acquired through normal play, and so farming will be a waste of time. The tactics for this achievement are fairly simple, but require a clean sweep in order to be effective: you must start behind enemy lines, take out any Snipers guarding the control point, then backstab anybody sitting on the point proper. Once you pull off 15 kills one one of these points, you'll get the achievement. The other possible method is to engage in a melee on enemy points, with (hopefully) your knife meeting the back of those you are attacking.

Note: The name of this achievement is a possible allusion to Moonraker, which is yet another James Bond film and one of the most popular films in the franchise.
