Katana

The Katana is a Melee Weapon implemented in the v0.6.7 "" update in November 29, 2018. It spawns within the bunker below the Greenhouse, also known as the Chrysanthemum Bunker, but sometimes also spawns in the fourth room of the Hatchet Bunker, in between the computer terminals in replace of the Fire Axe. There's a maximum of one Katana per match because the bunker it spawns within isn't present every game. The Katana is a unique melee weapon because of its longer range and is powerful if used properly. It has similar DPS (damage per second) to the Wood Axe, dealing more damage, but with a longer delay between attacks. Both weapons are also capable of opening Ammo Crates. Though similar, the Katana is ultimately superior due to its longer range, its ability to hit multiple objects at once, resulting in it being able to attack through walls as it hits the wall and whatever's behind it.

How to Obtain
The Katana spawns within the third and final accessible room of the Chrysanthemum Bunker. Few people know the codes required to obtain the Katana, and it is often left untouched.

Also it may spawn in the fourth room of the Hatchet Bunker as a replacement of the Fire Axe, added during the ""

A rusty version of the weapon can be found in the Chrysanthemum Bunker like the standard variant, but can only be obtained in the "Snow-covered Island" update.



Strategies

 * Because of the Katana's rarity, it can be used to bait other players. Take cover and avoid enemy fire as they approach. Once close enough, use a close-quarters weapon (Shotguns, Sniper Rifles, and SMGs) to quickly wound them. Then, switch to the Katana to deliver the finishing blow.
 * Use the Katana to obtain Ammunition from breaking armored Ammo Crates found in Warehouses, the Storm Bunker, the Docks, the Police Station, and the Crossing Bunker.
