- This article is about the psychopath weapon. For the standard katana, see Katana.
The katana sword is a weapon in Dead Rising 2 and Dead Rising 2: Off the Record.
The katana sword has a curved, slender, single-edged blade with a circular or squared guard and long grip to accommodate two hands. It is historically associated with the samurai of feudal Japan and has become renowned for its sharpness and strength.
Two swords are obtainable after the twins Amber and Crystal are defeated during Case 4-1: The Source (Case 5-3: Two Girls, One Club in Off the Record). The swords respawn in the Shoal Nightclub every time the player enters the Yucatan Casino.
Its durability can be increased with the Blades and Games magazines.

Trivia[]
- Despite being called a katana, it does not have any design similarities to a real katana (e.g. the weapon's blade is not curved upward in just a single direction).
- The Dead Rising 2 Prima Official Game Guide lists this weapon as having "4 slicing swing attacks and a jump attack."
- The Katana Sword bears a slight resemblance to the Tenso katana from the game Onimusha 3: Demon Siege, another video game made by Capcom.
- The name "katana sword" is actually redundant, as "katana" means "sword" in Japanese.
- This weapon is unobtainable in Sandbox Mode, as the Twins only spawn during Double Trouble, and even if the player kills one, they despawn before the weapon spawns.
