The Razorback is an unlockable secondary weapon for the Sniper. It appears as a hand-carved tribal shield with a car battery taped to the back.
When equipped, this weapon grants the player immunity to a single backstab from a Spy. If a backstab is attempted, the Spy will be unable to attack or Cloak for approximately 2 seconds, and will be unable to switch weapons. The player will be alerted of the failed attack by a 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 will break in half and fall off the player's back. Another Razorback can be acquired if the player goes to a resupply cabinet or if they respawn.

Trivia
- The Razorback resembles a mid-20th Century Queensland Rainforest tribal shield.[1]
- The Razorback always has a red-colored stripe, whether the Sniper wearing it is on BLU or RED.
- A Spy who breaks a Sniper's Razorback will earn a kill assist if the Sniper dies a few seconds after the backstab attempt.
- The Razorback has a noticeable scratch mark on the top left. This is due to the Spy's unsuccessful backstab attempt on the Sniper Vs Spy update page. [2]
