Description
You only have a katana against a horde of common zombies.

This addon adds two new mutations:
- Simply Katana
- Simply Katana (alone)

Unlike other katana mutations, this one doesn't make it impossible: You still have healthpacks and you don't have special infected and bosses.

Have fun!

Any way to disable Tanks in the finales? Tanks make most of the finales close to or actually impossible.

How do you enable this mutation through the console?

Oh, the L4D1 maps actually did remove all the weapons successfully, so the mod was applied. The problem was that the players/bots didn't get Katanas to replace them, as far as I could tell. I and the bots just walked around in weird weaponless poses until the zombies killed us.
(actually I think I picked up a health pack and started shoving zombies with it, which was amusing)

I would have to look into that bug, I am new to modding and this is my first addon. If anybody else knows whats wrong please comment, it will be very helpful.

Also, I do not edit each map individually. Instead it should just remove all weapons except katanas and health packs (along with giving each player a Katana)

FYI, I tried playing The Passing and the Bride Witch was still there, as were all the tanks in the 3rd stage. Pretty sure I selected the "without bosses" option, so I think that's probably a bug (certainly an infinite supply of tanks with 2 appearing at once wasn't the intent, I assume).

Also- the L4D1 campaigns don't give you katanas. Is there some way to make the survivors just start with an item in their inventory, rather than having to edit every map? Pretty sure I've seen mods that do that (ShackMutations does it with Grenade Fest).

Update finished, tested and uploaded

Hope you like, please rate if you do.

Thanks for all your kind words. Sadly, I won't be able to finish the update till next weekend. But as soon as the weekend comes, it will be the first thing on my list.

P.S. Just to let ya know, I only really made this because I wanted to use a katana, I didn't think people would like it so much... Thanks guys (and maybe girls, if any)

yeah throw some witches in there and lower the tanks health a bit if possible. God I love this mod

Okay, ill be working on an update right now with the following changes:
- new Simply Katana (bosses) mutation (should I add witches as well? they are classed as a boss)
- hopefully bug fix when it comes to melee weapons (thanks XxEeNnXxEeIi)
