Katana (GRA)

The katana is a Melee skill weapon added by the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Gun Runners' Arsenal.

Characteristics
The single edged razor-sharp blade is extremely effective and has a high attack speed of around three attacks per second. Its special V.A.T.S. attack is "Unlabored Flawlessness", where an attack is launched in reverse grip.

Modifications
All modifications are generally sold by Vendortron at the Gun Runners or Gloria Van Graff at the Silver Rush, but Mick and Cliff Briscoe sometimes sell the mods as well.
 * Katana authentic blade - Increases damage (+5), removes the exhausted blade for a polished blade and the worn blue grip for a black grip
 * Katana protective sheath - Increases condition (+50%), adds a traditional brown saya (Japanese scabbard) attached to the belt on the left
 * Katana balanced grip - Increases attack speed (+20%), removes the worn blue or black grip for a good condition red grip

Locations

 * Gun Runners, sold by Vendortron
 * Mick & Ralph's, sold by Mick
 * Dino Bite gift shop, sold by Cliff Briscoe

Behind the scenes

 * The name of the special attack is a reference to Ninja Gaiden, where the Unlabored Flawlessness is the strongest weapon in the game.

Bugs

 * If modded with the protective sheath, when changing weapons or unequipping the katana, the sheath will still be on the players hip. Occasionally, this bug may also result in two sheaths overlapping each other. Equipping a different weapon that is holstered the same way will remove it but sometimes, changing weapons may not remove the sheath and the player has to return to the main menu and reloading his save for correct this problem.
