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

”

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. If the Sniper is killed within 5 seconds of his Razorback breaking, the Spy will be given a kill assist. 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.
• The Spy can no longer change weapons from the knife while shocked by the Razorback.

Trivia

• The Razorback resembles a mid-20th Century Queensland Rainforest tribal shield.
• The Razorback always has a red-colored stripe, whether the Sniper wearing it is on BLU or RED.
• 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.
