Hello everyone! This is the best Katana build I came up with after trying a few things out. As you can see in the example gameplay, we were able to absolutely destroy Adam Smasher within a single minute. I even missed some attacks. As for taking care of the goons in the rest of the Don’t Fear the Reaper ending, Berserk allowed me to basically destroy all the goons with zero problems. Anyway, I am excited to share this build with you guys as its not only fun, but also insanely effective.

Full Cyberware Setup
Important stuff is *bolded*. Non bolded stuff are just what I had in the video but they are not crucial for the build to work so you may feel free to switch them up. There are iconic versions of some of the Cyberware I used. Swap them in if you have them. Mind you that this is already an insanely tight squeeze and even if you remove the unnecessary cyberware, you are getting like 10 free points to use up at best which is likely not enough for a lot of the unique versions. What you choose to remove is up to you.


Frontal Cortex Important for build
Mechatronic Core Any Ripperdoc
Axolotl “Last Call” Quest/Dogtown Ripperdoc
SelfICE Any Ripperdoc
Quantum Tuner I didn’t mention this in the video but its INSANELY overpowered. You get it through the DLC though and the place you get it from is SUUUUPER spoilery. For the sake of keeping things safe, I won’t spoil it. In any case, the setup with this will let you use Berserk multiple times IN A ROW and just melt anyone. This is straight up game breaking in my opinion but feel free to go for it if you wish.

Discussed Weapon List
Byakko You get this by doing all of Okada’s quests. She sends it directly into your Stash at your home/back of your car.
Satori You get this WAYYY in the beginning when you do the heist with Jackie. Instead of leaving the room where Yorinobu pops off through the glass, walk up where Saburo came in and clear the two guards out. Then you go into his AV. Satori will be in it.
Nehan On Saburo himself.
Headhunter I don’t know. I had it before 2.0. Apparently “Melee Weapon Vendor in West Wind Estate” but I have not verified this.
Blue Fang Same as Headhunter. But this time “Melee Weapon Vendor in Jackson Plains”.
