The Katana [[Armor | The Katana [[Armor permutations (Halo 3)|armor permutation]] is a special unlock in ''Halo 3''. The Katana armor permutation consists of a normal [[Hayabusa Powered Assault Armor|Hayabusa]] body with a katana sword affixed to the back with a white attachment, possibly magnetized. The sheath (or saya) of the katana is grey and the handle (or tsuka) is a reddish brown color. The katana does not affect the gameplay when equipped.{{Ref/Reuse|H3}} | ||

As of the release of ''Halo 3'' for PC in [[2020]] and the start of [[Season 2: Spark]], this restriction is no longer in place, and the Katana chest can be used alongside any choice of helmet and shoulders. The Katana, like all ''Halo 3'' armor, is unlocked immediately upon launching ''The Master Chief Collection''. | ||
In [[Season 6: Raven]] with the introduction of back accessories, the Katana will be attachable to any chestpiece and will no longer be limited to the "Katana" Hayabusa permutation, and retains the MCC permutation description. In the flighting builds for Season 6, the Katana requires (presently-unknown) unlock requirements. | |||

One of the only ways to unlock the Katana after the 1.2 update and 1.3 is to unlock 49 out of the 79 achievements. Because unlocking only 40 of the 79 achievements is worth 1000G, the conclusion is that players '''must''' have 49 achievements to unlock the Katana. The Katana, as well as the Security permutations, are fabled "armor" glitches, in which they appear and disappear randomly. With the Security, a 1000 gamerscore locks it in, and for Katana, 1750 guarantees it. Since the release of the Mythic Map Pack, the Katana seems to unlock for those who download early (without the need for 1000 gamerscore OR 49 achievements).{{Citation needed}} | ||
