Summary

The Katana is a really long Japanese sword from the past. It is commonly used by Japanese Samurai as a weapon. The Katana is known for its big grip and curved, single-edged blade, that can easily cut through many surfaces.

Background Story

Some survivors wished to see more melee weapons that weren't simply knives, so R-Brain Hardwork set to work. Unlike most cheap Walmart knockoffs, the Katanas manufactured by the Japanese branch of R-Brain Hardwork are made with genuine materials that were used during the Medieval and Imperial periods of Japan; more specifically, from the Sengoku era. Now you can hack, slash and act like a delusional weeaboo everywhere you go! A tutorial was given for those who wished to "look cooler."

Now, where's my Straw Hat? I'm craving some California Rolls.

Tips

  • Use stamina-giving armors such as the Scout for more swings from this weapon.
  • Use this on a horde of zombies due to the penetration, high damage for its swing rate and its relatively long length.
  • If you are more into combat rather than styles, don't equip the attachment animations because it significantly increases the delay before you can attack again.
  • This sword doesn't trip, it only does damage.
    • It will just be a waste on one singular zombie.
  • This performs rather admirably in Vs. Environment due to its multi-hit ability.

Pros

  • Rapid Swing Rate
  • Multi Hit
