While the Sniper Update is still yet to be fully "upon us", we've picked up new details about it, this time introducing yet another item in the list for Team Fortress 2, the Razorback tribal shield. It's main purpose, of course, is to maximize your counter-espionage prowess.

Here's Valve's description on this wonder-shield:

The Razorback is a beautiful hand-carved tribal shield, built using indigenous techniques passed from father to son since before recorded time. Sometimes the old ways really are the best ways. And after using the Razorback in the field, we quickly discovered this was not one of those times.

All the tribal craftsmanship in the world, it turns out, cannot stop a modern butter knife. So we taped a car battery to it. Sure, the added weight of the redesigned RazorbackÂ’ll slow you down a little. But any poor sap dumb enough to backstab you while youÂ’re sporting one is getting a surprise to the tune of 10,000 volts. Plus, if they want to stab you again, theyÂ’ll have to wait until their knife cools down. Which is lucky for you, since the Razorback collapses into a million finely crafted pieces after a single stab.


Talk about rear-end protection! 10,000 volts to stab back my potential backstabber? Am sold.
