{{Disadvantages|

{{Acquisition|The War's blueprint is dropped by the [[Shadow Stalker]]. It is also included in the [[Hunhow's Gift]] bundle for {{pc|516}} in the market.}}
{{BuildAutomatic|type=Weapon}}

==Notes==
*Because the {{Weapon|Broken War}} received from completing [[The Second Dream]] quest comes with a free [[Orokin Catalyst]], it is recommended ''not'' to use it to craft War, as the pre-installed catalyst will not carry over into the crafted War. A separate Broken War can be crafted and used to craft War &ndash; the player will be given the choice of which to use at the Foundry. 

==Trivia==
*The energy that surrounds War's blades and the glowing light in its hilt will react to different things.
**If the Energy color is not customized, the lights correspond to the elemental damage present on the weapon. If no elements are present, the lights glow red, identical to when the Shadow Stalker is attacking the player. The light blue seen in the weapon icon and other appearances can be achieved with {{D|Magnetic}} damage.
**War's lights will also briefly glow after it kills an enemy.
**When holstered, both the blade and hilt glow will dissipate until brandished again.
**When channeling was still available, both would also glow extremely bright and gradually return to normal brightness after turning channeling off. This specific trait was shared with the {{Weapon|Synoid Heliocor}} and {{Weapon|Heliocor}}.
*In the [[The Second Dream]] [[quest]], War was not only the sword that the Shadow Stalker used, but also housed the consciousness of the [[Sentient]] [[Hunhow]]. War would be shattered in two during the climax of the quest, creating the {{Weapon|Broken War}} sword, which is simply the broken off piece re-purposed as a weapon.
*This weapon, along with the Broken War, is the first [[Sentient]] weapon available to players.
*The pommel of this weapon is similar in shape and design to the [[Sentinel Cosmetics#Attachments|Hunhow Sentinel Mask]].
*The name "War" references the biblical [[wikipedia:Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse|Horsemen of the Apocalypse]]. The horseman of the red horse, War, is charged with bringing battle and slaughter, and is given a great sword. This is reflected in the weapon's main color being red, and its sheer size.

==Bugs==
*On very rare occasion, War's lights won't stop glowing after getting a kill or channeling is toggled off. This can often be visually distracting, but can usually be fixed by dying. It is unconfirmed whether or not this bug still exists after channeling being removed from the game.
