=== ''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.
