||
| + | The Katana is a [[Japan]]ese sword which appears as a melee weapon. In all its appearances, it is described much like a real Katana: A long sword with a slightly curved blade and a long grip for both hands. The weapon is wielded and used in a similar manner to most bladed weapons. |
||
| + | ==Performance== |
||
| − | The '''Katana''' is a melee weapon of [[Japan]]ese origin. It is available in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], [[Grand Theft Auto Advance]], [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]], and [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]]. It is one of the more powerful melee type weapons; it is able to behead opponents with a single slice, and is not as heavy as the cumbersome [[chainsaw]]. |

||
| + | The Katana is one of the most powerful melee type weapons; it is able to [[:Controversy#Decapitations.2FBeheadings|decapitate]] opponents with a single slice, and is not as heavy as the cumbersome [[Chainsaw]]. When the player is short on ammunition, the Katana is particularly useful for quickly taking down hostile gang members during [[Gang Wars|gang conflicts]] in ''Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas''. |
||
| + | The Katana in ''[[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]]'' has the third highest damage of all melee weapons, only surpassed by the aforementioned chainsaw and the [[Screwdriver]], as well as good range over targets (only falling below the [[Fist]]). |
||
| − | ==Notable appearances== |
||
| − | In 1998, [[Toni Cipriani]] and [[Kazuki Kasen]] engage in a katana duel on the roof of the [[Big Shot Casino]] with katanas (though the player may choose to use other weapons.). The same occurs between [[Snakehead]] and [[Carl Johnson]] in the mission, [[The Da Nang Thang]], on a freighter off San Fierro in 1992. In both cases, the player may pull out a gun and quickly kill the opponent. [[Mike]] uses the Katana to force [[Mafia]] members into slavery in the GTA Advance mission [[Down the River]]. |
||
| + | The Katana in ''[[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]]'' has lower damage and cannot be used for decapitating, thus making it perform similarly to the [[Machete]]. |

The Katana is a weapon featured in all 3D Universe games except Grand Theft Auto III.
Design
3D Universe
The Katana is a Japanese sword which appears as a melee weapon. In all its appearances, it is described much like a real Katana: A long sword with a slightly curved blade and a long grip for both hands. The weapon is wielded and used in a similar manner to most bladed weapons.
Performance
3D Universe
The Katana is one of the most powerful melee type weapons; it is able to decapitate opponents with a single slice, and is not as heavy as the cumbersome Chainsaw. When the player is short on ammunition, the Katana is particularly useful for quickly taking down hostile gang members during gang conflicts in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
The Katana in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City has the third highest damage of all melee weapons, only surpassed by the aforementioned chainsaw and the Screwdriver, as well as good range over targets (only falling below the Fist).
The Katana in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories has lower damage and cannot be used for decapitating, thus making it perform similarly to the Machete.
