The Tonfa is an exciting melee weapon introduced in Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 Season 4. If you’re looking to wreak havoc in close quarters, here’s how to unlock the Tonfa in MW2 and Warzone 2 Season 5.

The Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 Season 5 update has arrived, and players are eager to get their hands on the new weapons. Season 5 has brought the new FR Avancer Assault Rifle and Carrack .300 Sniper Rifle at launch.

The Tonfa is a unique choice for those looking to clear tight spaces in Warzone 2’s Vondel map. While the Dual Kodachis and Combat Knife are strategically better, the Tonfa hits hard and makes for some fun combat, particularly on Modern Warfare 2 maps like Shipment, Shoothouse, and Showdown.

With Season 5 in full swing, players are looking to add the Melee weapon to their arsenal, so here’s how to unlock the Tonfa in Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 Season 5.

The Tonfa is automatically unlocked for all players in Season 5. This means that you can choose this weapon and jump straight into a game to use it. While the previous season had players rushing to complete the Assault on Vondel (community) event challenges, it now needs absolutely no grinding to unlock.

The Tonfa is a dual-wield Melee weapon with a handle made to increase grip and power protruding from its wooden base. The developers introduced the weapon with a harrowing message, saying that it “delivers blunt trauma without risk of dulling or breaking.”
