“
Watch your back. Or don't! Now it's your choice.
— Razorback publicity blurb
 ”

The Razorback is an unlockable secondary weapon for the Sniper. It is a partially chipped hand-carved tribal shield with red and white paint and a car battery taped to the back. Two wires are shown going from the battery to the shield, held in place with black electrical tape.

When equipped, this weapon grants the player immunity to a single backstab from a Spy. If a backstab is attempted, the Spy is unable to attack, cloak, or switch weapons for approximately 2 seconds. The player is alerted of the failed attack by a very distinct, loud electrical sound, as well as being zoomed out of their scope if they were zoomed in, at which point they can retaliate.

Upon a single backstab, the Razorback breaks in half and falls off the player's back. If the Sniper is killed by another player within 5 seconds of his Razorback breaking, the Spy is given a kill assist. If a Razorback is broken, a new Razorback can be acquired if the player goes to a Resupply locker, respawns, or waits 30 seconds for it to regenerate.

Snipers with the Razorback equipped receive a 100% overheal penalty, so they can not be given overheal from Medics.

The Razorback is automatically given to any player who obtains 17 Sniper achievements.
