Spoiler
Sand Warriors have a 33% chance to drop their weapon : The Scimitar.
When hitting someone with the Scimitar it will launch you and the entity in the air, great way to isolate your enemies.
Pressing RMB will launch you in the air depending on your view angle, restores after a successful hit or by standing on the ground.
Small tip : You can avoid fall damage by hitting someone at the last moment before you land on the ground.
