Katana in Free Fire Stats
Here are all the official stats of Katana in Free Fire:
- Damage: 66
- Rate of Fire: 32
- Range: 5
- Reload Speed: 0
- Magazine: 0
- Accuracy: 10
- Movement Speed: 88
- Armour Penetration: 0
The weapon comes with a description: "Samurai's favorite weapon".
Just like other melee weapons, Katana has a really high damage per shot of 66 and a decent rate of fire of 32. It doesn't require you to have any ammo to use. The range of the weapon is short and it is compensated by the high movement speed of it when you are holding it.
As a melee weapon, Katana is not very useful in combats in Free Fire, where there are a lot of guns that can kill people from far away. Unless you have no other weapon during the early game or you run out of ammo, you should use Katana to fight other players.
Katana still has its uses in Free Fire, however. Since it has high movement speed, players often hold it while running to run faster. You can also use it to finish a knocked player so you don't waste ammo.
Katana Locations in Free Fire
The Katana is spawned randomly across maps on Free Fire so there are no fixed locations where you can find it. While you will find it more easily in large locations, these places are crowded with players and more dangerous than smaller locations so go there at your own risks.
How to complete Hayato Awaken Mission with Katana in Free Fire
In the last update, Free Fire just released Hayato Awaken, the second Awaken character in the game. In order to unlock Hayato Awaken, players need to complete Hayato Awaken missions.
Since Hayato is a samurai, he has one Awaken mission that requires the player to use Katana to kill 3 other players in all modes (except for Room matches).
As mentioned above Katana is a weak weapon because you have to get really close to other players to deal damage so this is a quite tricky quest. But it doesn't mean it is impossible. Here are a few ways for you to get kills to get Katana easily in Free Fire.
First off, here are the best locations in Bermuda, where you can find a Katana to do the quest.
Now here are the best ways for you to get kills with Katana in Free Fire and complete the Hayato Awaken mission:
- Play with your friends. It's very simple, play with your friends in squad mode and ask them to not kill knock out players so you can finish them with your Katana. Unless your squad is really unlucky, you will be able to finish this quest in just one match.
- Hit your enemies with your gun until their health is low and then finish them off with your Katana. Since the Katana has high damage, you will be able to finish them off with one hit.
- Play normal Battle Royale mode and stay in a remote area. All you have to do is hanging there for a while and there will be bots coming for you. You can just literally run at them with your Katana and kill them.
