It may be a maddening expertise.
I’m satisfied that discovering a needle in a haystack is means much less effort than getting the Katana in Megabonk. This weapon is, in idea, a straightforward five-percent drop within the Desert stage, however truly getting it might really feel means more durable than this.
Megabonk’s Weapons tab within the Unlock menu says you will have a “5% likelihood to search out it upon breaking a Tumbleweed on Desert Stage 1.” Whereas these are fairly simple directions, it’s vital to maintain some issues in thoughts:
- Desert Stage 1 means the primary space in any of the Tiers. Should you’re enjoying Desert Tier 2 or 3, you’ll solely have the ability to get the Katana within the very first map. After you defeat the primary boss and transfer to the second stage, you’ll now not get the Katana by breaking Tumbleweeds.
- Tumbleweeds are small balls of dry plant materials that slowly roll round within the Desert stage.
- They spawn at random and don’t present up on the mini-map.
- Your character can’t break tumbleweeds by taking pictures them. You will need to method them and work together to interrupt them.

Katana gained’t drop in Megabonk
Should you’ve damaged dozens of tumbleweeds in the appropriate Desert stage in Megabonk and nonetheless can’t get the Katana, I’m sorry: you’re one of many unfortunate gamers in likelihood hell. Welcome to the membership! A 5% likelihood signifies that, on common, gamers will drop a Katana in as much as 20 tumbleweeds damaged, however it might take many extra makes an attempt than this. Your precise likelihood of dropping it in your first 20 makes an attempt is round 64%.
No recreation results change the Katana’s drop charge.
I’ve discovered extra tumbleweeds by standing nonetheless for just a few seconds and looking out round reasonably than sprinting by the map. Since their colour is basically much like desert sand, it may be straightforward to overlook them if you happen to’re all the time shifting. Cease for a bit if you happen to’re not getting swarmed by enemies and attempt to discover extra of them.
Play the sport usually and break thumbleweeds as you go within the Desert map as a substitute of goal farming it. I’d solely repeat the Desert stage to get the Katana if I had already cleared each tier of the stage.
Should you break tumbleweed in Stage 2 as a substitute, you will have the identical 5% likelihood of dropping the Shotgun as a substitute.
