The Katana is a special Armor Permutation unlockable by earning 49 out of 79 Achievements and or 1000 gamerscore.
Characteristics
The Katana consists of a normal Hayabusa body with a Katana sword affixed to the back with a white attachment, possibly magnetized. The sheath of the Katana is grey and the handle is a reddish brown color. It is not possible to use this item during gameplay.
Description
To correctly use the sword, one must make it an extension of one's body. This is for the understanding of those intending to be warriors.
Disadvantages
Users have reported that like the Security Shoulders, the Katana can re-lock and unlock again. For example, having 980 gamerscore and obtaining an achievement worth 25 gamerscore may unlock them, but they can later re-lock themselves, requiring the player to obtain more achievements in order to unlock it again.
The way the Katana sticks up can reveal the player if they are sniping, however, if it is shot they do not take damage. It also cannot be stuck by a grenade.
Trivia
- The Katana closely resembles Ryu Hayabusa's Dragon Sword, and is not usable by the player.
- The Katana can no longer be unlocked by just earning 1000G in Halo 3. 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. Unlocking 40 of the 79 achievements worth 1000G, the conclusion is that you 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 that download early (without the need for 1000 gamerscore OR 49 achievements).
- McFarlane Toys produces a set titled Hayabusa Katana and Scabbard, containing an Action Figure-sized Katana and its sheath.
