Katana

The Katana is an uncommon melee weapon found at civilian locations. The Katana's power attack consumes 10 stamina (without the Endurance skill) and inflicts twice as much damage as a regular attack.

Advantages

 * The Katana has respectable damage-per-hit.
 * It has a very fast attack speed, surpassed only by knives and the Chainsaw.
 * Its reach is long, reducing the risk in using it.
 * Frequently found in civilian locations.
 * Hitting an enemy with the katana will cause them to bleed.

Disadvantages

 * Without investment in the Warrior skill, its damage-per-hit is somewhat lackluster.

Trivia

 * A katana is a traditional one-sided Japanese long sword largely known as the trademark of the samurai.
 * With the Warrior skill upgraded to its maximum level, it can kill civilian zombies in one blow to the head with primary attack, or kill military zombies in one blow to the head with the secondary attack.
 * The Katana can be commonly found in the back of LCVs on the longer side of Confederation Bridge.
