Katana

The Katana.

The Katana is a melee weapon of Japanese origin. It is available in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. It is one of the more powerful melee type weapons; it is able to behead opponents with a single slice, and is not as heavy as the cumbersome chainsaw.

Notable appearances

In 1998, Toni Cipriani and Kazuki Kasen engage in a katana duel on the roof of the Big Shot Casino with katanas (though the player may choose to use other weapons.). The same occurs between Snakehead and CJ, on a freighter off San Fierro in 1992. In both cases, the player may pull out a gun and quickly kill the opponent.

Glitch

In GTA SA there is a glitch that will cause CJ to be able to run around without a head. To exploit this glitch, start a multiplayer game. Then make sure player two has a Katana. When it starts have player two kill player one with the Katana. This will cause the multiplayer session to end. Once it returns to one player mode, CJ won't have a head, and can stay like that for as long as the player desires.
