The Suppressor was first introduced during the [[Kradal conflicts]]. It gained prominence during the [[human-Forerunner war]] and the [[Forerunner-Flood war]].<ref name="VIS">'''[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 97''</ref> The Suppressor is a fully automatic weapon employing a conventional coil set architecture that fires bolts of [[hard light]] in rapid succession. Its high rate of fire and efficiency against the [[Flood]] led to its widespread use among the Forerunner warriors during the [[Forerunner-Flood war]], particularly when attempting to retake vessels captured by the Flood; however, it is similarly effective against all organic matter. | The Suppressor was first introduced during the [[Kradal conflicts]].

The weapon possesses an angular design and metallic casing. It appears to be held together, at least partly, by energy fields as indicated by its self-assembly process. Orange highlights can be seen while the weapon is self-assembling and throughout the casing once assembly is complete; these highlights grow brighter when the weapon is fired. | The weapon possesses an angular design and metallic casing.

As extinction loomed, desperation led the Forerunners to experiment with volatile derivations of hard light. The ''Razor's Edge'' is an advanced Suppressor firing fast-moving metastable energy shards and carrying 48-round magazines. If multiple shards strike a target in 0.9 seconds, they will create a "supercombine" explosion, similar to [[blamite]], but with the ability to cause targets to disintegrate. | As extinction loomed, desperation led the Forerunners to experiment with volatile derivations of hard light.
