Let's talk about the Striker,


This is one rediculous AR that can proof. It's practically a shotgun.

Double damage isn't as much as you would think: Its DPS is marginally better then the Falcons.

(Well. A little bit more then "Marginally better" but still quite similar.)

I was thinking that.  Then, I compared the Katana's damage (with double damage) to the Wraith.  That'd be a bit insane.

Try firing it, and after the third shot cloaking with a max damage cloak.

Katana is a boss killer.

Work for all ramp-up weapons or just the Striker?

Because if it only works on the Striker I'm still not sure it would ever be worth it to use it.

I have tested it with the GPSMG, and the Particle rifle.

It only works with the Striker.

Sigh. Would be nice if it worked with the Brophoon. Why can't we have nice things?

Ugh. No to removing or deleting. It's not bothering anyone by staying in it's slot and provides the beginning shotgun for everyone who begins playing this game.

To be fair it's still better than the Scimitar.

To be right, no it isn't.

Its simple, something else already looks nicer.

I didn't bother to read all 4 pages of this thread. What would be the point? I, too, consider Katana just another starting weapon that a player replaces with better weapons as he/she uses the RNG store.

Or is it because some people want every weapon to be viable on platinum? I can almost grasp the mentality where every weapon should be equal from start to platinum but then that moment passes and I wonder why would anyone want to think like that.

The equipment system has the potential to obsolete weapon tiers.

Leave. The. Katana. Alone.

[Ashevajak]

I gave the Katana a try on the Geth Infiltrator and Turian Soldier on Bronze. Built for weapons damage, of course.

It was a uniquely painful experience. I understand the need for starter weapons which are eventually outclassed as one acquires new weapons and upgrades, but I still think it should take less than three shots, in the head, at practically point blank, to kill a mook.

Maybe I was Doing It Wrong, but I'm not sure how I could be (Super Secret Katana techniques?). I think I'll be doing my Shotgun Mastery without completing the Katana Challenge...

Uh, I think this thread is actually asking for a buff :/


And I agree. It's funny how people jump in saying "OMG COMMON WEPONS R SUPPOSED TO SUCK!!!!!!", when the Mantis performs so good that it's acceptable even on Gold.

The Eviscerator and Disciple are the only real caster shotguns we have, unless you want to count the Piranha in. But the Piranha may be too heavy, the Disciple does puny damage and the Eviscerator has a slow rate of fire. I didn't include the Scimitar on this list because, while it's light, it runs out of ammo really fast and does very little damage.

The Katana could be a weak caster's weapon, if it didn't weight a freaking ton. That would allow you to take a second, better weapon, and use the Katana just for pleasure during the first waves.

I only read the title, so my bad, I guess. And I agree with the rest of your post.

[Homey C-Dawg]

Playing a batarian and beating an enemy to death with a Katana is just as effective as any other shotgun.

...yeah, that's all I got.

[BridgeBurner]

The katana is a common. Go use it on bronze, and tell me if it performs adequately.

The fact is, common weapons were not designed with gold difficulty in mind.

Well, no. But they can be brought along and be used during the earlier waves, allowing you to switch to a better weapon later on. I like doing that, and I wish I could do it with the Katana, but the combined weight ends up being too much for a caster.

[N7 Banshee Bait]

I wish I could delete the Collector SMG. That would up my chances of getting the Harrier & Typhoon faster.

[BlackbirdSR-71C]

Oh hey, you could replace "Katana" with about 20-30 other weapons and nothing of value in the OP would be lost.

[Ash J. Williams]

I used it as one of the shotguns for the Streetsweeper banner, to be honest on Silver it was perfectly capable & found it more "fun" to use than a lot of the more powerful single shot shotguns.

Wraith? and personally I wouldn't say that the Piranha is too heavy for casters.

You want this basic, default shotgun to be like other rare guns or something?
