The Ultra Rare & Legendary Scum Katana Sword!!

[Dyerektor]

imo the rarest item in Scum is The Ultra rare & Legendary Scum Katana Sword


it seems the Legendary Katana Sword can only be found in a few locations

the D4 Town Police station (South of D4)

C4 Police station (Top of C4)

and some watch towers in safe Zones and rarely in the little check point huts in safe zones (although i have not found a Katana in safe zones for some time now).

on a recent search of the C4 and D4 Police stations (in which i mainly found metal baseball bats) it took me up to two visits over day over 4 days to find one, and on the fourth day i was super lucky and actually found two in one police station and gave one to a friend in game.

The Katana is a great Melee weapon and with recent changes to melee weapons it's made it a lot better

have you found a Katana recently? what your thought's and opinions of experiences with the Legendary weapon?

Remember it can take a good few visits to these locations and could take over a few days worth of hunting


Happy hunting folks

I found 2 recently, One in a garage in the lower C3 town, and another in the above mentioned C4 police station, along with brass knuckles.

It took me over 1000 hours to find my first one, and that was before the melee re-work, so it was kinda useless. Found it on the steel shelves in one of those tall industrial buildings. Haven't found another one since. Looking forward to it, though.

Hi ZomBeGone that's interesting ive never found, seen, heard ,of The Katana spawning outside the locations i mentioned in my OP that's good to know that it has actually been found in other locations im sure this will help a lot of folk be on the look out while out looting

it will be interesting to hear what other locations it has been found in

I do hope it stays Ultra rare though

I've aways got mine from the watch towers which are now safe zones.

i love this weapon! 2 hitting puppets at a good range with medium melee. i have still to make my first pvp kill with it thou, but watch out out there, i'm hiding behind corners and doors.

I found 6-7 times so far, mostly in the locations you mentioned, but also have found it in random houses 2 times, but that was on max loot servers.

but i think the actual rarest item is the pine cone.

Funny story, I had been wiped by the database reload, so was rebuilding from scratch. I hate melee. I found the sword and the first time i tried to use it, I accidentally threw it! Did I mention I hate melee? Had to box the puppet to death:D took me 10 minutes to find the sword again. I later traded it for a VRN, rather than lose it again.

The second sword I gave away, along with the brass knuckles.

I think I was just lucky the first sword.

Hello Chronic213 wow a 1,000 Hrs is a lot and only finding one in that time gives folk a good idea how rare it is and how lucky folk are to find one, it's certainly something to get excited about

tbh i agree it wasn't very good till recently and having been using it its gotten better (could be a little better) but still good it's putting puppets down on their asses a lot easier than it before id like to see a limb and or head decapitation animations upon on death of a puppet or player (like the exploding head shot animations added fairly recently) as this would just top off this legendary weapon

again it's interesting to hear when it has been located If you find one soon please tell us about your experiences finding and using it i hope you find it's improved

hi Chef_uk that's where i found my very 1st Katana and then read it could be found in the police stations too so have been frequenting them in my searches

with the recent Melee upgrade and lots of new players and returnees coming back to Scum and not much talk of it i thought it a good time to bring it back unto the discussions and see what the Scummuity's findings/recent melee upgrade opinions on it are

The katana is not better than the two-handed big sledgehammer.

Hi Humusmandala 6-7 Katana finds is super lucky my recent tally is about 3 at most (and hat;s working my butt off over day's) since the melee upgrade ive found it to be really good it's great to see it finally get some love from the Devs

ive not PVP'ed with it yet either so hope i can do that sometime soon

again it's interesting to hear the various locations outside the ones mentioned in my Op although a little disappointing as i hope it stays ultra rare which it still seems to be

imo it's an item/weapon we must be made to work out asses off to find and every time ive been lucky to find one it's always been an exciting find

one thing about the Katana folks If you are triple carrying Don't drive a car with the Katana in hand as it it will most likely be dropped while you drive this has happened to me a few times upon driving i heard like an item throwing/hitting the ground sound stopped car jumped out to find i had to backtrack and find my Katana laying on he road a little further back

Tbh the Pine cone is not a item ive went looking for tbh but thanks for the heads up it's something im gonna now research soon as i love finding out about he food sources

well yes, super lucky, but to be honest i found most of them on max loot servers... i think i only found 1 or 2 on official servers. i honestly never really cared for it until the recent update, but now i love it. now i would just love for them to make the shuriken a multiple use item, like give us 10 each time we find it. atm. it only serves as a 1 slot knife with high durability. would love to be throwing around those bad boys (and while they are at it, give us back the red marker to show where we hit with our throws).

Hi Nobody is that based on Pre melee upgrade or after melee upgrade?

cheers

After. When you maximize strength and melee skill in singleplayer and attack zombies with both weapons, there is no difference.

hi Humusmandala ahhh you found them mainly on high loot server but still its a good haul tbh

yeah the "Shuriken" throwing/Ninja Star is a really cool weapon too again needs an upgrade the item icons hows 3 stars but its 1 shot and not very user friendly at the mo

the current throwing arch whether it be a spear, star, grenade, etc needs a more accurate reworking imo and melee should rival gun play in the sense of a more desirable go to attack defense option

Scum is meant to be more "gladiatorial" in nature and hope this dose become the main point of focus in game in future and again less gun play Scum is trying to be different but i fear it will become yet another shoot em up basically with minimal melee "gladiatorial" etc stealth should also play a bigger part too which imo with what seems recent mech sensitivity/detection is a good thing i know a lot of folk will be shaking their heads at what im/have been saying about he gun thing but also with ammo crafting set to an advance skill and martial arts combat planned too it seems this may well be the direction Scum is heading

the recent upgrade to melee is very hopeful of a more combat orientated game which means better more up close and more intense personal encounters fights for survival

hi Nobody that's a shame i thought swinging sledge hammer compared to the Katana would be slower although maybe a slightly bigger damage ratio

that's disappointing tbh but i still love the katana a lot tbh idk if melee item weight has much if any part/affects things yet id need to do further research due to eh recent upgrades but it did seem all melee was more or less the same before that damage wise although i could be wrong

[Olocan]

I have found a katana inside a log cabin before also i was awarded an event katana.
