Katana or Samurai Locations?

[General Tan]

Hey Guys,

Another question to add, could you please let everyone else know where you guys found a katana or samurai?

I'm struggling to find one myself, but if you do know where to find it on the map, could you please upload a picture of a map where it is located.

Many thanks in advance!

You can find the katana in the airdrops, and I'm pretty sure it's the only way; but this samurai I didn't find any, is this some kind of a katana too?

I found a katana in the airdrop. I found a sword just labeled sword in a Antique store. Those are the only 2 swords I have found.

I think general tan is just looking for the katana sword in my opinion.

This information below is according to google :
Feudal Japan Weapons Perhaps the most iconic one is the katana associated with the samurai. It must be noted though that a katana is not always synonymous with a samurai sword. It is, in fact, one type of samurai sword. You can think of it as not all samurai swords are katanas, but katanas are all samurai swords.

Hey, thanks for the response guys!

Yes, Samurai or Katana (which is pretty much the same). I've been getting airdrops but not containing any Samurai. Could you please point out where on the map this Antique Store is?

Here is a picture of a map.

on the single player map I did not find a sword I found a Spartan spear but in my multiplayer map I found the sword.

In other words what you find in the antique shops is random. I wish the developer would make EVERY map the same and not this random BS. That way when a player finds something they can tell other players where to find it.

As far as me telling you where the antique store is I have found 2 in 2 different towns. All the antique stores are alike they all say Antique on them and they have this red awning all across it

I have to work today so I don't have much time I work 12 hour shifts but I will try to give you an exact specific location when I am off and attach it to this forum page but like I said you may not find the sword you may find a spartan spear or some other random item.

Hey,

Yeah I found a Spartan Spear too in an Antique Store but no luck on the Samurai yet.

The Samurai is what I'm after as carrying a machete just isn't as cool as having a Katana. I move like a ninja you see... lol

[Ronnie]

the katana or samurai as you say is only found in airdrops so just keep going to the airdrops and eventually a katana will be in there
there is also a lot of other cool stuff in the air drops

I will admit the katana is a nice blade and it swings pretty fast I like it. Guess you could wear black pants, a black shirt and black shoes once you find your katana to look somewhat like a ninja. Too bad there is not a black ninja outfit.

Also I HIGHLY suggest you get a pair of binoculars and use them when you go to the red circles on your map / airdrops to more easily find the airdrops I took a screenshot of my very 1st and 2nd airdrop. The first one I arrived too late and there were no flares but the 2nd air drop I went to I arrived on time and got to see the flares.

Hey,

I've had 6 airdrops but missed the first like 2 or 3 drops. Just wondering whether I missed those drops with a Katana in it? Hmm... so far I've just been getting Combat Shotguns and AR15s and ammunitions.

Nothing special yet but I will definitely wait until I think it's time to start a new map. Just bummed out cause I really want an RV to help with the looting and building of my base as well as a Samurai.

[Ronnie]

I heard there is a army jeep that has as much storage space as an RV but I have not found a army jeep that I can drive yet. I found a tank and a hummer but I can't drive either one of those it is just for decoration in the game. If you find the army jeep take a screenshot of the location and I will do the same but this developer makes things random which SUCKS. I wish the developer made all maps the same so we players can help each other find things.

like my adventure bag and military bag was located in different spots from my other map which sucks. The developer really needs to change it to where everything stays in the same spot on all maps. I swear I think this developer has ADD and his ADD mind thinks it is too boring to have items in the same spot on all maps so he makes everything random like his random ADD mind !

As far as your katana sword, no you have not missed the drop. In fact you can have multiple drops that have katanas in them. So far I got 2 drops that had a katana in them so I now have 2 katanas. Just keep going to the air drops you can get cool stuff in them like elite armor that is all black looks very cool, night vision goggles that lets you see green at night, military helmet, things like that all in air drops.

Also go to auto shops and storage places where auto crates are and look for car batteries cause the car battery in the tower drains after a few air drops and the green circle comes back on the tower when the battery dies that means you have to put another car battery in the radio tower and activate it again to get more air drops to appear

Happy Hunting and I hope you find a katana soon. The elite armor is all black and reminds me of the armor Batman wears it looks cool so be on the look out for that when you look in the air drops also there are cool weapons besides the katana in air drops assault rifles and sniper rifles.

I found 2 Katana in my singleplayer save. Not from air drop but from Storage Facility in E3 town.

[General Tan]

Can you screenshot of the place of where you found it? That would be very helpful. Thanks!

Just found a Katana in the Toxic zone north west from the transmitter location in one of the two air drop pallets there. If you clear out the air drops there they respawn loot like any other container. Just make sure to take a gas mask and beware that since the last patch rather than thick green fog the area is now pitch black and much harder to navigate even with a torch.

[General Tan]

Oh nice!

Any chance you could mark it on a map so people could see it clearly and better?

Thanks!

There are 11 known swords used by a Samurai Warrior, none of these were called a 'samurai sword' and to be fair they used tachi (cavalry sword), bows and spears a hell of a lot more than the Katana or Wakizashi blades, the later 2 being considered as a last resort on the battle field.

As for in-game locations it depends on the settings of the server, Air Drops are the main source for extreme low loot, standard settings have rare spawns in several locations and on abundant loot they can be found even in houses.
