Sai Warzone & Cold War

Warzone’s Season 5 Reloaded update is nearly here, which means players will soon be able to get their hands on a new melee weapon – the Sai. 

Just like every patch, the Warzone Season 5 Reloaded update has brought with it plenty of new and exciting content for players to sink their teeth into. There’s the return of the Clash mode, new Iron Trials ’84 modes, and even the arrival of Judge Dredd. However, one of the most exciting additions is that of the Sai – a new dual-wield melee weapon. 

These deadly martial arts weapons can make quick work of opponents in both Warzone and Cold War’s multiplayer modes. In fact, the Sai’s lightweight design allows for some incredible mobility and lightning-fast attacks, which make it incredibly useful in close-quarters scenarios. Fortunately, adding this new weapon to your loadout is fairly simple.
