Not to be confused with the katana.

The katana sword is a weapon in Dead Rising 2 and Dead Rising 2: Off the Record.

The katana 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. The swords respawn every time the player enters the Yucatan Casino.

Attacks

Main: Tap / to swing the katana sword from above Chuck's right shoulder and down to the left. Chuck ends in a crouched position on one knee. Combo: Quickly tap / again to perform a second swing. Starting from the crouched position, Chuck swings the katana sword from left to right above his right shoulder and head. Combo 2: Quickly tap / again to perform a third swing. Starting with Chuck holding the sword above his head, he swings the katana sword down in a circular motion to his left waist. Chuck will be facing to his left side with his arm fully stretched out. Combo 3: Quickly tap / again to perform a fourth and final swing. Starting with Chuck facing his left side, he swings the sword to his right side in a parallel motion across the waist. Jump: Tap /, then / to perform a jump-cleave attack. Chuck's normal jump kick attack will be replaced with a jumping katana slice attack which awards 50 PP per kill.

Trivia

• Despite being called a katana, it doesn't 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 weapon Tenso from the game Onimusha 3: Demon Siege.
