Katana (GRA)

The katana is a melee weapon added with the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Gun Runners' Arsenal.

Characteristics
The single-edged, razor-sharp blade is extremely effective against most enemies not only because it has a high attack speed of around three hits per second but it also has a special V.A.T.S. attack called "Unlabored Flawlessness", where an attack is launched in reverse grip. This V.A.T.S maneuver costs 40 AP and does 2.5 times the base DMG.

Modifications

 * Katana authentic blade - Increases damage by 5. Replaces the exhausted blade for a polished blade and the worn blue grip with a black grip.
 * Katana protective sheath - Increases condition by 50%. Adds a traditional brown saya (Japanese scabbard) attached to the belt on the left.
 * Katana balanced grip - Increases attack speed by 20%. Replaces the worn blue or black grip with a red grip in better condition.

Locations

 * Mick & Ralph's, sold by Mick.
 * Novac, sold by Cliff Briscoe.
 * Silver Rush, sold by Gloria Van Graff.
 * Gun Runners, sold by Vendortron if Mick, Cliff Briscoe, and Gloria Van Graff are dead.

Behind the scenes

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

Bugs

 * If modded with the protective sheath, when changing weapons or un-equipping the katana, the sheath will still be on the player's hip. When dropped, sometimes the sheath is not dropped. 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. You have to save the game, return to the main menu, and reload the save to fix the problem.
 * If modded with the protective sheath, it will be stuck in a glitched condition when the weapon's condition is at 100%. This can be fixed by repairing it with an other katana, or a one-handed melee weapon with the Jury Rigging perk.
