 An incredibly sharp katana sword. | ||||||||
|
The katana is a fast, powerful and light melee weapon for berserkers. It can be used with two different firing modes, a quick slash with the primary fire button, or a very slow swing with the alternate fire button. Of the two firing modes the primary has the highest damage per second. By default the Katana is never found in random weapon spawns, but it can be found in scripted spawns on several white-listed maps.
[edit] Statistics
The Berserker perk gets bonuses and a discounts for the katana. For headshot damage multiply by 1.1.

[edit] Price
The base cost of the katana is £1000, this can be reduced by up to £700 with use of the berserker perk, at intervals of £100 per level. As with all melee weapons there are no maintenance costs for it.
[edit] Usage and damage
The katana is the only melee weapon whose alternate fire mode deals less damage per second than its primary fire. Its headshot multiplier is 1.1x, which is less than the 1.25x multiplier of the knife, machete and fire axe.
In terms of damage output, the katana deals approximately a third more damage over time than the axe in primary fire and the same damage in alternate fire, despite its higher rate of fire. Compared to the chainsaw, the katana has up to 40% less damage potential over time, but is five blocks of weight lighter, has a 10% larger headshot multiplier, and allows the player to run faster whilst wielding it.
