How to Get Cyberpunk 2077’s Strongest Early Game Melee Weapon: Satori

You’ll need to play through the prologue and early part of Cyberpunk 2077 until you get up to mission “The Heist” to get the Satori katana. It’s in this mission that you’ll be able to see Saburo Arasaka for the first time, whose katana we’re after.

Work your way through the mission alongside Jackie and T-Bug. Once you get to the part where you’ve completed the Flathead infiltration and are now entering the suit of Yorinobu Arasaka, it’s worth making a save. The first thing you should do is grab the sweet pistol Kongou lying on Yorinobu’s bedside table. You’ll have to deal with some enemies to get the katana, so you’ll be needing this.

Activate the switch to unlock the secret storage and head over to take out the case with Jackie. Just to your left at the back of the room, you’ll see a staircase – this leads up to the rooftop, but the door will be locked for now. Keep it in mind, though, as you’ll be heading up there soon.

Once Jackie picks up the case, Saburo will land on the roof. You’ll need to hide inside the display unit with Jackie and watch the scene with Saburo and Yorinobu unfold. Once it’s done, head over to the exit location, and T-Bug will start hacking the lockdown. Once the exit is unlocked, don’t head out the exit for the mission. Instead, turn around and head for the set of stairs that leads up to the roof. The door will be unlocked for you now.

As you come up to the rooftop, you’ll see a couple of big lads guarding Saburo’s aircraft. Take them out, and you can open up the aircraft. Inside, just waiting there for you will be the Satori katana. This is the most powerful early-game melee weapon you can get your hands on for a while. The Satori will enable you to perform a leaping sheathed attack, which inflicts bleeding. This is very useful in helping you take down tough enemies early on! Plus, the Satori katana looks amazing.

Satori Overview & Stats

The Satori is an Iconic variant of the katana in Cyberpunk 2077 that was forged during the early 20th century and is the signature weapon of Saburo Arasaka. Here are the key stats and features of the Satori:

  • Manufacturer: Arasaka
  • Type: Katana (Blade)
  • Rarity: Iconic
  • Damage: 133.0
  • Stamina Cost: 6.4
  • Attack Speed: 2.1
  • Armor Penetration: +25%
  • Weight: 4.5
  • Special Ability: The Satori allows you to jump towards enemies who are far from you. When the katana is not being used, you can hold the attack button to perform a “Quickdraw Attack” that causes “Bleeding” on the enemy. If the enemy is already bleeding when you hit them with a Quickdraw Attack, the attack will cause “Hemorrhaging” instead.

And that’s how to get the Satori katana in Cyberpunk 2077.
