The ''Razor's Edge''{{'}}s 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]].

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 (six shards result in a supercombine) 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. In addition, the ''Razor's Edge'' has a lower rate of fire in comparison to the lesser Suppressor models, with only a maximum of 1 round / 0.7 seconds (420 RPM). 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. | 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 (six shards result in a supercombine) along with the ability to directly damage heavy armor.
