Katana (Dead Rising)

The Katana is a fast moving Light weapon weapon in Dead Rising. The katana's only attack is two diagonal slashes from up to down which almost always cut a Zombie in half. Katanas can attack constantly if you just keep tapping the attack button, Frank won't pause from one swing to the next and will only do so if he gets hit or bitten. Unfortunately the katana has a very poor spread usually only capable of killing one zombie per swing and breaks relatively easily. The katana's durability is affected by the Criminal Biography Book
