Is it me or are the Greatsword and Katana damage/KD identical?

[Cortex]

They used to be different, and the greatsword had its niche of having higher KD and the hilarity of being able to damage dozers, but for me it displays katana having identical stats to the greatsword(save the delay to attack, making the katana superior unless you REALLY want to melee dozers).

[NaIM]

Nope, katana was always better.

I think Greatsword was changed CF2-1.

The greatsowrd and the katana have identical stats for damage, knockdown and charge now, but the Katana still swings faster. While there may have been an argument between the two guns previously, there isn't one now - the Greatsword is a straight-up downgrade of the Katana.

I hope they ♥♥♥♥♥♥ these weapons, I've always enjoyed using both, but it feels dull when I'm downgrading myself for the sake of using a different skin. Infiltrator and Sociopath are my go to trees :(

It's just a prove that Overkill does a great job at "balancing"! Two melee weapons with identical stats except one of them attacks twice as fast is genious!

Spear of freedom is actually better than both of them now. Same damage stats, one second less of a charge time.

I was posting with 5 minutes left before classes start, and my students get cranky if I'm late even a little bit. Mixed up the word for "weapons" by accident.

Yeah right...
Katana swings 3x as fast then both of them, that one extra second of charge saved is still eight katana swings before it gets fully charged.

Gunblade DLC when?

Seriously though, the fencer in me cringes and rebels when I see how slow the swing on the longsword is (because a greatsword that freaking well is not). I'd happily be using it over the katana if it weren't for that horribly long wind-up.
