The ''Razor's Edge'' is a named variant of the Z-130 DEAW, modified to fire metastable energy shards similar in operation to the [[Subanese crystal]]s found in weapons like the [[Type-56 needler|needler]]. Its first use was towards the end of the [[Forerunner-Flood war]], where the Forerunners faced their extinction from the [[Flood]] and became desperate, eventually resorting to experimenting with volatile derivations of [[hard light]]. These experiments eventually led to the inception of weapons like the ''Razor's Edge''. | |||

The ''Razor's Edge'', a Rare Level 3 [[Requisition system|REQ]] that grants 100 REQ Points when sold, operates exactly identically to a normal Suppressor albeit with the added supercombine functionality of the Needler | The ''Razor's Edge'', a Rare Level 3 [[Requisition system|REQ]] that grants 100 REQ Points when sold, operates exactly identically to a normal Suppressor albeit with the added supercombine functionality of the Needler along with the ability to directly damage heavy armor. However, out of all the supercombine-capable weapons in the game, the ''Razor's Edge'' has the tightest supercombine time window, lasting only 0.9 seconds. Six shards are needed for a supercombine explosion. In addition, the ''Razor's Edge'' has a lower rate of fire in comparison to the lesser Suppressor models. Despite these drawbacks, the ''Razor's Edge'' is the most powerful of the Suppressors, as it has a very high round count (maximum 288) and can deal decent damage to vehicles and heavy armor, even serving as an alternative to the ''[[Talon of the Lost]]'' if the player is running short on their supply of the latter weapon.<ref name="H5G"/> | ||
