The '''Razor's Edge''' is a special variant of the [[Z-130 Suppressor|Z-130 Directed Energy Automatic Weapon]] that appears in ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'' as a Rare [[Requisition system|REQ]] variant of the Suppressor. 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 name="H5G">'''''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''''' - ''[[Multiplayer]]''</ref> | |||
== Background == | |||
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''. | |||
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 name="H5G"/> | |||
== Gameplay == | |||
=== ''Halo 5: Guardians'' === | |||
The ''Razor's Edge'', a Rare Level 3 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"/> | |||
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 by 15% for hipfire and 34.167% for Smart-Link. | |||
* Vertical recoil reduced. | |||
* Rate of fire reduced. | |||
* 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. | |||
