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}}

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&nbsp;m (137.96&nbsp;ft) in hipfire and 58.88&nbsp;m (193.18&nbsp;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.
