If you have any suggestions for additional features that i should add please add them in a comment. This mod adds a highly detailed Katana to the game. You may buy this weapon from Moira in Craterside Supply located in Megaton, or from Flak or Shrapnel, located in the Rivet City Market.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 507 endorsements and nearly 20k downloads—clearly a well-loved weapon mod.
- Easy to get your hands on the katana—just buy it from Moira or Flak, no complex quests.
- Photorealistic detail that should stand out in the wasteland.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2009—might have compatibility issues with modern Fallout 3 setups or mods.
- Only adds one weapon, so if you're looking for a full weapon pack, this isn't it.
For Fallout 3 players who want a sleek, realistic katana without messing with complex mods. If you're a melee build or a collector of unique weapons, this is a solid pick. Skip if you want gameplay overhauls or a variety of new weapons.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's from 2009, make sure your Fallout 3 is fully patched and consider using a mod manager like FOMM to avoid conflicts.
- If you're using FOSE or other mods, check the load order—this mod likely just adds an esp, so place it appropriately.
- You can find the katana early by heading to Megaton and talking to Moira—she's right in the shop.
