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 goes 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.

Trivia
- The Razorback resembles a mid-20th Century Queensland Rainforest tribal shield.[1]
- It is also Template:W. 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.
- Breaking a Sniper's Razorback counts as a kill assist if the Sniper dies a few seconds after the backstab attempt.
