### *<mark style="color:yellow;">**Note:**</mark>* The Razorback typically does not function while playing as a Human against stabs; *<mark style="color:blue;">however, it does work when playing Zombie!</mark>*&#x20;

### You can utilize it as a means of anti-backstab when holding [Zombie Items](/tf2-zombie-escape-guide/elements-of-zombie-escape/items/common-items.md#zombie-items) and generally wall off cheeky chainstab-farming spies.

<mark style="color:red;">**Cons**</mark>

* **No movement increasing weapons**

The Sniper acts like your standard zombie, there's not many gimmicks he can rely on until his enzyme charges, but when this happens, you'll see how his insane damage as a human translates. Oh, and if you got the memo from the note above, he's a perfect zombie class to go when grabbing items - although you might take more knockback, you'll have a good counter against spies that you can't keep track of on every corner.\
\
On using his Mutation, humans within a radius around him will be coated in Jarate for several seconds. **Their visibility will be impaired while they take increased damage from most sources of damage, such as from zombie hits, explosions, and even map-sourced damage.**

**Most dangerously, however, is going be his Bushwacka.** Pair that with his ability and you can one-shot kill any class regardless of overheal. When you kill a human rather than infect them, you won't be stunned. So, if you're able to pop your Mutation and launch yourself into a crowd of humans, expect a big trim. Note that you will take more knockback and damage with it equipped though.
