The Uploader is an exclusive prop that can only be used in Spy Hunt and Fireteam Outpost 31.
Overview
This item is a special object that only the Super Spy can access. It only appears after all 5 intels are retrieved by one player, and will fall from the sky and land in a designated area.
At the 2 minute and 15 second mark, the Uploader will be accessible to the Super Spy, allowing to upload his/her intels to his/her HQ. The process of uploading takes approximately 15 seconds, and in that time the SS will be vulnerable to all att
acks (as he/she cannot move from that spot). However, the Super Spy can turn in any direction while uploading, and can jump up and down on the spot to avoid headshots and other forms of damage. There are three stages of uploading, and the progress can be tracked via the screen on the Uploader. The first stage involves little green binary digits emitting from the Uploader (similar to the Matrix.) At the second stage, the digits will become orange, and will increase in number. At this time, an aura develops around the uploader. At the third and final stage, the digits will become red and will flow constantly from the uploader. The aura resembles sparks of crimson lightning at this phase. If the SS is not killed by this time, then he/she will have fully transmitted the intel and won.

Trivia
- Some Uploader locations have been changed since they proved to be unfair to the Super Spy, like in Warhead.
- The Uploader's transmission can no longer be detected from afar. You have to be up close to see it.
- If you stand in the center of where the uploader lands, you will not instantly die, but since there are invisible walls around the uploader, you will shortly die as if you had glitched into something.
- There was a glitch that while playing Quarantine Regen mode on Warhead, the uploader would appear, but would behave as if the Super Spy had already uploaded it.
- Hackers can reveal Uploader locations using fly hack at the specific area of the Uploader.
- Support items (mines, auto-turrets..etc) or anything alike cannot be placed into the transmitter its self. You can plant mines in the dirt at the base but not in the transmitter its self.
- Uploaders can occasionally be seen in various Quarantine maps.
- The Uploader can be operated by the player in Outpost 31 when the bonus mission is active, only available in extreme difficulty.
