Quick Katana Question

[Blaiden80]

If I am playing a multi-player game, can each of us get a Katana - as in if we go to the cave together will there be one for each of us?

Not sure as I don't do MP, but I think it will just respawn after the server is started up again. So only one person can get it per session.

Yeah don't worry you will be able to get one katana each

Everything "loose" in the world, for example the katana, modern axe, booze, ropes photos and other collectibles is not shared by other players. You can be 8 players that go into the katana cave at once and everyone can get the katana at the same time.

The only thing (that I know of) that's shared is structures, trees, animals and cannibals.
One exception is the birds. One player might happen upon a spawn and say something like "look at all these birds landing on the fire to die!" and the rest of you thinks he's crazy because you don't see "his" birds, only him gazing at a fire.
Another thing that's not shared is berries. I think bushes might be shared, but the berries can be shared. I've been accused of eating snowberries when in fact they were blueberries.

tl;dr Yes, you will all get the katana

All items are client side. For example; say you kill a lizard, both players can loot the skins and the meat. One of you crack a suitcase, both of you can get loot from it. Both players can harvest a single berry bush.

Same goes for static items in the world. The only things that aren't client side from memory are logs and enemy bodies.

My MP experience shows that any items that are static are client side and can be picked up by both people (modern axe/katana/rebreater etc). Suitcases, or randomn spawns of items(the stuff on the ground) seem to only give 1 item per person with the exception of cloth. Suitcases he opened would have cloth + snack for instance, he would loot it, if I walked over it would only have a cloth.

You all have been very helpful. Now I just need to FIND the Katana - The game needs a compass.

The compass and map is in a cave under a cannibal hut in a big cannibal village on the east/south east side of the map.
The katana cave is north/northeast, a hole in the ground. Easiest way is to find the cockpit with flare gun, which is northeast in the river then backtrack from that point due south

Katana is the easiest/first thing I get each game. Literally just head along the coast away from the yacht/tree with the ocean to your right. Once you reach the river, follow it inland until you spot the cockpit out in the water. Head into the hills on the left coast and the rope is around there. Once down, just climb another rope, go left (right has enemies), and follow the path to the loot room with the katana near a corpse.
