Backstab that, ya snake! Click to listen — The Sniper

”

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 immunity to a single backstab from a Spy, with said Spy being disabled for approximately 2 seconds and 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.

Previous Changes

June 23, 2009 Patch

• The Razorback no longer slows a Sniper down.

Trivia

• The Razorback resembles a mid-20th Century Queensland Rainforest tribal shield.
• It is also a term for a 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.
• 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.
  • Even though the update page says "...since the Razorback collapses into a million finely crafted pieces after a single stab.", the knife still stays attached.
