How To Get The Katana In Once Human

Melee weapons may not share the same spotlight as guns in Once Human, but it's hard to argue about how strong and useful they can be in the right circumstances. The Fabled Muramasa katana, for example, is one of the best swords in the game for quickly dealing massive melee damage against monsters and human NPCs.

Compared to some of the best melee weapons in Once Human, the katana is much harder to come by. If you're wondering how you can get your hands on this weapon, here's what you need to do.

Once Human Katana Location

The katana can only be obtained as a random drop from high-level bosses and dungeons, and it does not have a crafting blueprint as of Season 1. It has a fairly decent chance of dropping from Once Human's Shadow Hound boss (even in Normal difficulty), though there's also a good chance of it appearing as chest loot in high-level areas.

To get a Tier V katana, players should open Weapon Crates around the Red Sands region and beyond. There's a slim chance of this weapon appearing in any of the Weapon Crates in the POIs in this area, but if you want a place that you can constantly farm. These respawn regularly, and while the community is still trying to pin an actual respawn timer for these crates, it's best to return to them four real-life hours after opening them.

If you're looking for a spot that you want to farm constantly, then the Silo Theta dungeon in Once Human is your best bet. You can skip most of the enemies here, and both Seepage Zone and final area bosses are fairly easy to beat. Open all the Weapon and Gear Crates in the dungeon and use your Controllers when you beat the bosses to maximize your chances. Run the dungeon on Hard or Pro mode if you can.

Is The Fabled Muramasa Any Good?

The special quick attack of the Fabled Muramasa katana in Once Human — Once Human Fabled Muramasa katana special attack

The Fabled Muramasa katana has a couple of unique effects:

Gain extra +3% Crit DMG for every 1% Durability higher than 50% of the total, up to 120%
Using a quick attack, gain +30% Attack and deal a guaranteed critical hit (ineffective against players). Can trigger once every 15 seconds.
The Attack buff lingers for 5s after hitting an enemy. All attacks during this time are critical hits.
Lose 2% Attack for every 1% Durability below 20% of the total.

So far, this is the only weapon that has this kind of effect. It's essentially a legendary Wish Machine weapon like Once Human's SOCR Last Valor assault rifle. However, since the Fabled Muramasa is not a craftable weapon, players won't be able to repair it. Since the weapon starts losing damage after going below 20% Durability, we recommend dismantling it when it reaches that point.
