The Katana is a sharp weapon featured in Dead Island. Unlike the Wakizashi and Eviscerator, this sword is a two-handed weapon.
The Katana deals high damage, has above average force and has a very high voltage attack when it comes to enemies. It also has a long reach and can hit unarmed enemies like most of the zombies outside their attack range. Xian Mei can perform a special attack when her first blade skill is upgraded. The skill is activated when you aim at an enemy's head or neck, then Xian presses the blade against their neck, causing roughly 29993939828399-60085080480 damage.
