Prior to the autumn of 2023 or so, Razor used to be armed with a sharpened tungsten knife during the negotiation dialogue with Captain Grimm, but has since been fighting with nothing but his bare fists in that event, which is pretty strange for a character known to be the deadliest knife wielder among the Grim Jetters. It's not that he doesn't equip a knife for the occasion; he simply doesn't even have one in the inventory during that time, as testified by the examimation of his corpse.

On a somewhat related note, even though I've seen Cruzer alternate between the AR and the sledgehammer he wields, Razor never uses the shotgun he has in that fight specifically, only when he's on a jet ski. I'm guessing Razor's melee skill is so much higher than his guns skill that on land his AI doesn't even see the shotgun he has as a competitive option? Captain Grimm never uses the energy pistol he sports as a sidearm either, but his sword is much cooler anyway so it makes perfect sense he doesn't.

this is a duplicate of a bug report I made about a year ago; I'm going to do it again next year as well

Its for the best that he doesnt use his shotgun in the cabin fight; he'd hit his allies.  Shotgun AI is really bad about that.

Cruzer is smart enough to only ever AR burst when he's the only left alive, the same should - might? - technically apply to shotgun AI. Besides, there are also ways to wind up relatively isolated in the cabin, such as by killing Grimm and Cruzer first (which is exactly how I once ended up dying to an EMP nade tossed by Razor, as well as to Cruzer tossing a flashbang another time).
