| == Overview ==
| |
| === Design details ===
| |
| 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-56D needler|needler]]. Its chassis is based on the regular Z-130's except that the main weapon color is now dark gray with orange and turquoise stripes painted around the weapon's main body and grip area.{{Ref/Reuse|H5G}}
| |
| | |
| === Service history ===
| |
| 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]]. These experiments eventually led to the inception of weapons like the ''Razor's Edge''.{{Ref/Reuse|REQ}}
| |
| | |
| In late [[2558]], the ''Razor's Edge'' was integrated into the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}'s [[War Games]] simulations for use by [[SPARTAN-IV program|Spartan-IVs]].{{Ref/Reuse|H5G}}
| |
| | |
| == Gameplay ==
| |
| === ''Halo 5: Guardians'' ===
| |
| 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.{{Ref/Reuse|H5G}} The ''Razor's Edge'' has an increased overall range from the normal Suppressor, with 42.05 m (137.96 ft) in hipfire and 58.88 m (193.18 ft) with Smart-Link.<ref name="analysis">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sETQ0tXHS0w '''YouTube''' - ''Halo 5 | Suppressors Analysis'']</ref>
| |
| | |
| Unlike the other supercombine-capable weapons in the game, the ''Razor's Edge''{{'}}s supercombine explosions also disintegrate any dead bodies within their blast radius.
| |
| | |
| ==== Changes from the Z-130 Directed Energy Automatic Weapon ====
| |
| * Shoots metastable energy shards that create a supercombine explosion if six of them strike a target within 0.9 seconds.
| |
| * Red reticle range increased.
| |
| * Vertical recoil reduced.
| |
| * Rate of fire reduced to a maximum of 1 round / 0.7 seconds.
| |
| * Exudes a white glowing light from the top of the weapon, which glows brighter when it is zoomed in.
| |
| * Reverts back to the 48 round magazine of the ''[[Halo 4]]'' rendition of the Suppressor.
| |
| ** Can hold up to 240 reserve rounds.
