It’s actually a good weapon cause the lunge on it is nuts, you can get away from the fireteam really quick and keep re-engaging without anyone to parry you.

idk from the gameplay I’ve seen from BloodThirsty the katana seems pretty strong, he downed ft relatively quick.
Range of the swings, and tracking at least on some of the motions look better.
Plus the bleeding dmg and the ability to easily mix light and heavy attacks kinda sets it one step above imho

but I can’t test it myself so we’ll see

Katana feels stronger to me…especially having the L2(on ps4) variation heavy attacks with it

#10

Elder Sword >
Bleed damage is pretty minor and katana is slow

#11

Most important question in regards to Katana.

Does Predator hold it correctly, as i facing the correct direction?

I am going to have to find some videos.

I saw Bloodthirstylord’s video too and he actually made the character and weapon seem really good. I might actually buy the dlc now lol.

The bleeding is about 10 to 15hp not that crazy it could have been better

#14

it does stack on itself which is what makes it good every hit causes the bleed to do more dmg

Holy FUCK is the Katana badass and it’s really growing on me @Dentdesabre. I tried to use the Elder Sword (AKA Jason’s repurposed Machete LOL) many times and it doesn’t fit my playstyle.

I ran around in some Private Matches in Derailed before trying to Queue in as the new Samurai (please @IllFonic… make a fix to your Servers to minimize Wait Times a little!!) and I didn’t like the Sword while practicing. It’s a little slower, feels too rigid overall and it’s heavy Swing (Left Trigger on PS4) eats away at a LOT of Stamina. I had to fit my Samurai with Adrenal Boost so I can plan exit Leaps without too much penalty.

But for the few Matches I did actually get into?? Goddamn!! It’s very good. I believe it makes your Target bleed out judging on how AI was reacting. And against actual Fireteams?? The up to two Right Trigger swings followed by a Left Trigger Lunge is the best Combo. It’s rigidity (by design??) starts to feel natural and you learn to bide your Swings out to make things flow Stamina wise. It got to the point to where I didn’t down the entire Fireteam since I chewed through three of them so quickly. And I didn’t even have Fearless equipped!!

It’s an excellent addition not only because of it’s Damage (I can easily see a slight Nerf coming in a future Patch) but also because of the subtle Animation Details. While Sprinting, you look like a Ninja and some of the Stealth Kills are equally badass and brutal. It’s also great to see AI’s Limbs flying everywhere with their Blood splattering on Walls and Trees.

Yep. The Samurai is awesome. While it’s a slight departure of the Hot Toys/SideShow Collectibles stunning Samurai Variant from years ago, it’s totally Badass and a lot of fun.

Combistick is the best. Jump right to your target one throw, one hit, one down, game over :)

#17

Actually, I found myself settling on both the Katana and Combi-Stick for the Samurai @OpthoDim. It’s a perfectly fitting combination!!

#18

Honestly prefer the Katana over the sword, feels much smoother and is great for hit and run.

#19

I stopped using the combistick due to all the bugs it has.

#20

Yo, when I buy the dlc, can I use the katana for other predator classes?
