Katana

Do you all want katana to be implemented? If so, let's send our requests to the developers!

Izayo's weapon pack does a good job with T4 style melee weapons including the Katana.

I think we need to allow room for modders to express their vision. So yes and no?

I personally would love a katana added in! I play on xbox and cannot use mods unfortunately so the console side of it would love it to be officially added, not knocking modders by any means.

This has been asked a lot over the years. I would say we are at 3 digits meanwhile for people asking for a katana or sword. Good luck.

Yeah, it seems unlikely. Behaviour taking over might change things (as weapon skin DLCs seem like something that would be up their street) but TFP have always had a design principle that weapons have to be functionally distinct. Every weapon has to play differently. I'm having trouble seeing how a katana is going to be functionally distinct from the existing machete.

No thanks.

If they add a tier 4 to weapons at some point, I can see some form of sword (doesn't have to be a katana) as the next tier after a machete. But that's about it. As Uncle Al said, they try to keep each class of weapons distinct from one another. Adding another weapon that's basically the same as the knife class is really nothing more than cosmetic. Now, if they added cosmetics for weapons so you can just change the look, then that would work.

So yes... I'd like swords, but I don't expect them unless there is a tier 4 for weapons or they allow cosmetics. Or perhaps as part of their legendary weapons plans, if that ever happens.

It would be okay but I've been a dedicated head basher since day one. It's so therapeutic to walk around hitting zombies in the head with a baseball bat after I get home from work.

Katanas are lame and overused, hand axes and gladiuses are where it's at

An elegant weapon for a more civilized time.

Yes add Katana, meth, and scarface OST.

They were talking about the chainsaw, obviously?

There was already a topic in the Pimp Dreams exactly about the same topic.

How have we gone this long and never got a katana at the very least? That’s a zombie trope staple. Mechanically they’d be classified as knives similar to how smgs are handguns so all those perks and such would apply to them. They’d have better range but less attack speed and heavily rely on stacking bleed and dismemberment with poor raw damage against armored targets. I’m thinking you could have the base tier be something makeshift like a sharpened lawnmower blade as iron and steel as a katana. Also these would probably not have the sneak bonus so there will be reasons to use them or...

I'm cool with a Katana. I'm also cool with other weapons, though I'm not crazy about lots of different ammo. I might be cool with more types of ammo if there were a way to "scrap" them back to reusable tips, casings, and gunpowder.
