Template:Ratings

The Katana (sometimes also called Hayabusa's sword) is a special Armor Permutation unlockable by earning 49 out of 79 Achievements and 1000 gamerscore. 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)

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.
