Hmmm... What about ultra-greatsword from Elden Ring?Moonlight Greatsword?

@shin ramen I've been thinking about what to add... I’ve noticed there are a lot of katana mods, like “YC Katana Legacy.” I’m not really into realism, so I think it’d be more interesting to create other unique swords instead of just different-sized katanas with slightly different handles.

Or at least that’s what I think. I’m not in a rush right now since PZ is still in beta, and I’m not sure whether to create a separate mod or just add the swords I make to this one.

an odachi and nagamaki would be cool

Now I can cosplay as a fat Sephiroth in-game while driving an AE86. Thank you.

@Ō I saw the parts, buuut are they implemented tho? I haven't been able to put it back together
Ō 26 Jan @ 1:22pm 
Ayoooo isnta sub. If you can, please add broken parts/crafting parts for this too like the katana? it has the following:

-Broken Katana
-Broken Katana Blade
-Katana Blade Shard
-Katana Handle
-Katana Blade

Fucking can't wait for more swords. Thanks for this! :steamthumbsup:

@matteokmp definitely, but the transition from .X to .FBX fucked me up.... So I'll have to redo it from 0, and also make it right and not the shit I did in 15 min eons ago haha, I'm also thinking of putting more Japanese swords especially the two handed ones, it's something I've wanted to do since build 42 came out
matteokmp 25 Jan @ 9:12am 
@SmokeAnDrink Will you update this mod to B42?
SmokeAnDrink  [author] 29 Dec, 2024 @ 10:18am 
@matteokmp it definitely shouldn't work with the new version
matteokmp 26 Dec, 2024 @ 7:45am 
Is this mod compatible with B42?
Naked Buffalo 22 Mar, 2024 @ 4:21am 
They still appear lodged inside of zombies, it just takes a while for them to spawn. You can still find them in lockers also, yellow lockers, not blue ones. They also appear in where weapons would spawn obviously.
Delic 9 Mar, 2024 @ 4:45am 
Can't find it in an admin list to spawn it in to screw around with it :(
Tame 1 Sep, 2022 @ 3:58am 
No worries bud! We all appreciate your work. RL comes first. ;)
SmokeAnDrink  [author] 1 Sep, 2022 @ 3:10am 
@tAME I didn't played the game for a loooooooooong time, this build is for 41.68 as you can see... I have to work full time and I don't think I will play until maybe build 42 hope you understand, but thanks for reporting maybe if someday I feel like it I'll fix it
Tame 30 Aug, 2022 @ 4:37pm 
We found them in the Factory area south-west of Riverside.
Tame 30 Aug, 2022 @ 4:12pm 
Have to say, we use the balanced version, and we're finding it way too often too.
Maybe killed a few hundred zeds, have found at least 3 nodachis...
SmokeAnDrink  [author] 4 Apr, 2022 @ 1:14pm 
@Cigaro that's weird to be honest... I've already added the new procedural list after the last big update... I've tested on the max spawn rate and didn't find nothing weird (the ratio was 300-1000 zeds to find a nodachi) and it's already at the lowest possible spawn rate (even rarer than the katana), except for gun store, military zones and police but that's intentional... Can you tell me what mods are you using? and btw have you seen other zombies with different items stuck in them such as knives, axes, etc...?
Cigaro 2 Apr, 2022 @ 1:47pm 
understandable, you want your mod to work without dependencies, we find nodachi in warehouses, walking zombies (they get stabbed with nodachis), police stations, military points... Maybe if i change in the sandbox options the rarity of long blade they appear less?
SmokeAnDrink  [author] 2 Apr, 2022 @ 10:57am 
@Cigaro aight, no slider because I will not implement another mod to make this one work.
I haven't played in a while so where did you find the nodachis, please be specific, and are you sure it's not another mod that is conflicting?

I appreciate the report but I can't fix anything if you don't specify your problem
Cigaro 30 Mar, 2022 @ 3:40pm 
Is there a possibility to change the rarity of the nodachi with a slider? i play with some friends and found a nodachi for each person, that's a bit broken and makes the game too easy
BONES 22 Jan, 2022 @ 1:53pm 
All good, cheers!
SmokeAnDrink  [author] 22 Jan, 2022 @ 1:08pm 
@BONES ye sorry about that, now it works correctly
BONES 3 Jan, 2022 @ 2:12pm 
This Nodachi is literally in like 2 outta 5 zombies, it is INSANE what the hell lol.
Libitardi 31 Dec, 2021 @ 12:32pm 
Not that much mods expect some armor mods. I updated your mod and now it seems that it's no longer common. Thanks for the mod!
SmokeAnDrink  [author] 30 Dec, 2021 @ 7:22am 
@Libitardi Do you have more mods installed that affects AttachedWeaponDefinitions? (Like planetalgol mods) It is rare... It has the same probability as the katana but that it can spawn after 5 days survived.
SmokeAnDrink  [author] 29 Dec, 2021 @ 3:31am 
@Libitardi I see, I added that option in the last update and didn't tested it tbh, just copied the katana spawn rate..., I'll change it today, thanks for letting me know
Libitardi 28 Dec, 2021 @ 6:59am 
I mean with a small horde there is at least 3 of these weapons sticking out of zombies. They are *VERY* common. Like pens.
SmokeAnDrink  [author] 26 Dec, 2021 @ 1:36pm 
@Libitardi You mean the attached ones?
Libitardi 26 Dec, 2021 @ 12:25pm 
Seems like this weapon is on like every 5th zombie. Can it be lowered?
Naked Buffalo 18 Oct, 2021 @ 2:00pm 
Yeah I could tell the drop rate was lowered. Tbh this weapon is the backbone of my early game. It is really rough until one of these drops lol.
SmokeAnDrink  [author] 28 Sep, 2021 @ 1:08pm 
@Naked Buffalo because I love to smoke blunts when I play this masterpiece and I always have a blunt so... I also found 2 nodachis yesterday without any problems, although it is true that I have lowered the spawn rate even more.
Naked Buffalo 28 Sep, 2021 @ 11:23am 
I feel like it was working, I was getting nodachis, but that might've been specifically before 41.54, this guy has been alive for a while.
Krieg 24 Sep, 2021 @ 8:58am 
is the image preview a kill bill reference? nice
K33industries 23 Sep, 2021 @ 4:12pm 
very nice and thank you i love this mod
SmokeAnDrink  [author] 23 Sep, 2021 @ 2:12pm 
@K33industries nope, but I'll update it today

@Evan There's no recipe
K33industries 23 Sep, 2021 @ 7:28am 
is the mod working with 41.54 ?
Ivan 8 Sep, 2021 @ 5:31pm 
where can i find nodachi recipes??
SmokeAnDrink  [author] 8 Aug, 2021 @ 7:54am 
@CSI48 nope I didn't change that... Did you activate weapon multi hit ?
(solo game/sandbox/character/ the second las option)
SmokeAnDrink  [author] 28 Oct, 2020 @ 1:35pm 
@BulletFaith I've made a more balanced version of this mod (link in the description), although I didn't tested it enough
SmokeAnDrink  [author] 27 Oct, 2020 @ 9:24am 
@BulletFaith Hello there!
Tomorrow I'll have free time so I'll look into it, especially the spawn on the zombies (1500 zombies in 8 days holy fuck you're really enjoying killing zombies out there xD). Anyway, thanks for using my mod
BulletFaith 25 Oct, 2020 @ 11:38pm 
can you make the nodachi either less powerful or make the finding chance very rare ? Maybe make a second file download for peoples that like's your mod but are looking for a more balanced challenge . I can kill 2 zombies at a time with a single swing with this weapon and i find about 1 Nodachi on every 30 zombie killed.

Mind you, i really like the model and i enjoyed using the sword.no zombie can even come close to me because it as such a long range ,they die by the dozens every minute. Its feels like am holding a magical sword called massamune ,no zombie can even come close to me because it as such a long range. But if it stay this overpowered, i will probably disable it when i get bored of my current character . Am 8 days in and i have 1500 zombies killed ... so yeah...lol.

Whereas a nodachi was mostly used for dick measuring
CocoBat 19 Jul, 2020 @ 2:24pm 
That is very cool, I do not know much about it, but I like many Japanese swords, it is cool
SmokeAnDrink  [author] 19 Jul, 2020 @ 1:24pm 
@CocoBat I have something in mind, with better textures and models, cuz I did the nodachi in 20 min and I mean... I could have spend more time on it but as always my time is limited :D... But in the future I'll definitly make something
CocoBat 18 Jul, 2020 @ 1:17pm 
Oh thanks ^^ that is cool! do you have any plan to make more sword or other weapon?
SmokeAnDrink  [author] 18 Jul, 2020 @ 10:48am 
@CocoBat should be okay right now, I don't know how I didn't noticed that lol
SmokeAnDrink  [author] 18 Jul, 2020 @ 8:22am 
@CocoBat Yep, You're right!... I'll rotate it later. Thank You!

Here is the screenshots, I tried to look up how to hold a Nodachi but I cannot find a good picture, so I do not really know, sorry if it is dumb question
