Samurai's Sword

The Samurai's sword is a melee weapon added to Fallout 3 in the Mothership Zeta add-on.

Characteristics
The Samurai's sword does higher damage than most other melee weapons; however, it lacks the special effects of Jingwei's Shocksword or the Shishkebab. On the other hand, it has a higher critical damage than most sword melee weapons, and has a relatively low AP cost compared to similar weapons, allowing for more attacks in V.A.T.S.. It also cuts off limbs outside of V.A.T.S.

The following table compares the Chinese officer's sword and its unique variants to the Samurai's Sword.

Location
The Samurai's sword can be found in the Waste Disposal area of the Mothership, accessible through the Maintenance Level (which can be entered during Among the Stars). It is at the "end" of the area in a closet full of medical supplies (see Waste Disposal article for a map with the location marked). It can, however be found later, before you enter the bridge: simply kill Toshiro, and loot his body - he'll have his armor, helmet, and sword.

Bugs

 * When trying to exit the Waste Disposal area, the Teleportation Matrix might not work. PC users can fix it by selecting the teleporter in console and use the command "activate".
 * The sword might not appear if Toshiro Kago has been killed before entering the Waste Disposal area.
 * When decorating your Megaton house, the sword's image will not appear while idle, however if you look directly at it and get close enough to pick it up then the option to pick it up will appear, picking it up will place it in your inventory like normal even though you can't see it.
 * It is possible to acquire two swords. First get the one in the Waste Disposal. When you return to the Engineering Core drop it right in front of Toshiro talk to him and tell him you found his sword and he'll miraculously acquire one. Kill him and it will be on his body don't lose/forget the one you dropped.
