==Overview==
==Design details==
===Design details===
The Razorback was initially designed as a specialised offshoot of the ubiquitous [[Warthog]], and was eventually modified over the years to incorporate data from testing programs on a number of virtually uncharted worlds. The Razorback's increased armour and payload capacity ensure the vehicle is a viable option on the battlefield even when not mounted with weapon systems.{{Ref/Reuse|CFShowcase}} The Razorback employs a visually similar chassis to the Warthog, albeit with a fortified windshield and a bumper reinforcement. Like the [[M831 Troop Transport Warthog]], the roll cage also extends from the middle of the vehicle to its rear section.{{Ref/Reuse|cf113}}

===Variants===
The Razorback has a number of specialized variants, and has come to replace the other various [[M831 Troop Transport Warthog|personnel carrier Warthogs]] in both [[UNSC Army]] and [[UNSC Marine Corps]] service. The standard variant of Razorback features only the aforementioned roll cage and troop bay, though armed variants are also in service, and are compatible with all standard weapon systems. As of [[2560]], more specialized Razorbacks are additionally undergoing field trials within the [[UNSC]]. These include variants armed with command and control, [[electronic warfare]], and surveillance suites.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}

===Joyriding===
In [[2552]], [[Janissary James]] stole a Razorback near [[New York City]] on [[Earth]] to joyride with some friends, and "turtled" it. She was arrested after being caught trying to return the gate pass they had used to steal it. The vehicle would be found after Janissary's arrest, and [[Unidentified Bergen County police officer|a police officer]] asked her if she was aware of the event as part of a [[PQI]] test.<ref>[[Axon Clips Chapter 1#Law Abiding|Axon Clips - Chapter 1 - Law Abiding]]</ref>

The Razorback was debuted in the installment ''[[Halo Infinite]]''. [[343 Industries]] writer [[Jeff Easterling]] has described the vehicle as "more spacious and robust" than the Warthog.{{Ref/Reuse|cf113}} The Razorback has the capacity to store items such as detached turrets, power weapons, fusion coils, and objectives in a storage compartment on the back of the vehicle.{{Ref/YouTube|n-O7OuliQRY|HALO|Halo Infinite <nowiki>|</nowiki> Multiplayer Overview|D=14|M=6|Y=2021}} In campaign the Razorback can have up to 5 passengers while in multiplayer it can only have 3. Razorback becomes one of the most popular vehicles, practically since it has better efficiency than a [[M831 Troop Transport Warthog|Transport Warthog]] for a mobile attack. Arming the marines with a lethal weapon, such as Skewer, Rocket Launcher, Hydra, Sentinel Beam, or Sniper Rifle will turn Razorback into one of the most lethal vehicles in ranged combat.

In the campaign, the Razorback can become one of the most lethal vehicles in the game by loading it up with [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] equipped with power weapons such as [[Flaktura Workshop Skewer]]s or [[M41 SPNKR]]s.

Reflecting its close relation to the similarly-named M12 Warthog, the Razorback is named after [[Wikipedia:Feral pig|domestic pigs that have gone feral]] in Australia and the Americas.
