The Razorback is an unlockable secondary weapon for the Sniper class. It is a hand-carved tribal shield, with a car battery taped to the back.
When equipped, this weapon grants the player resistance to a single backstab from a Spy, with said Spy being disabled for approximately 2 seconds and unable to switch weapons. During this period, the player will be alerted to this by a large electrical sound played, at which he can retaliate. Upon a single backstab, the Razorback will break and be unusable until respawn or the player going to a resupply cabinet.

Damage
None. The Razorback instead blocks one backstab attempt. As soon as the shield is broken, the Sniper is alerted by an electric sound and, if he's zooming in through his Rifle, he will zoom out.

Previous Changes

Trivia
- The Razorback resembles a mid-20th Century Queensland Rainforest tribal shield.[1]
- 'Razorback' is also the name of a minor Spiderman villain who coincidentally, uses electricity to ward off foes who sneak up from behind. [2]
- It is also a term for a feral pig. Feral pigs are an environmental problem in Australia, giving the word a (somewhat tenuous) connection to the Sniper.
- The Razorback always has a red colored stripe, whether the Sniper wearing it is on BLU or RED.
- The Razorback bears a scar caused by the Spy's unsuccessful attempt to backstab the Sniper on day three of the Sniper Vs Spy Update.
