"It would appear that the Arasaka have shown interest in a more advanced variant, resulting in a military variant of the katana that allowed the blade to be equipped with exotic modifications, such as Thermal damage."
This is a custom add-on melee weapon from Cyberpunk 2077, called the Arasaka Thermal Katana. Well, "thermal" isn't really the best word here. It doesn't set things on fire. But at least it looks badass!
Small disclaimer after weeks of not updating this thing: ANY crashes that may occur due to the Thermal Katana mod are NOT caused by the mod itself. Please check your modlist for any other mods that possibly conflict with it.
This melee weapon is based on and shares stats with the Shinsakuto Katana. Shows up as the Shinsakuto Katana to everyone else without the mod. Currently bugged with the Third Person Mod. The blade's glow disappears after the first swing of the weapon.
