How to Obtain the Katana in Dead Rising Deluxe Edition

The katana is not only one of the most formidable weapons in Dead Rising, but it also rivals the submachine gun. This iconic weapon has been a fan favorite since its introduction in the original 2006 release of Dead Rising. Here’s how you can acquire the katana early in the game.

While there are several locations where you can find a katana, the best way to obtain this weapon as soon as possible is to search in the Paradise Plaza. You will start your journey in this area right after completing the prologue.

After exiting the Security Room for the first time, you’ll have access to various shops where the katana can be obtained. Look for it hidden on a canopy located on the second floor.

Head to the second floor of Paradise Plaza and make your way to Columbian Roastmasters. At the back of the store, check the fridge and look for a railing to your right—this is where the katana is located. A significant advantage is that this weapon respawns here every time you return, making it a reliable source for replenishing your zombie-slaying arsenal.

Once you have successfully exterminated all zombies and rescued numerous survivors, you can advance to explore additional modes like Overtime and Infinity.
