• Recommended for Knife Battles and Zombie Scenario.

When chased by the enemy, run backward and use primary attack.

Use secondary slash in surprise attacks or when the enemy is not aware of your existence.

Keep your range from the short range melee so you can attack enemy but they cannot.

Do primary slash on the head or secondary slash on the back for an instant kill.

Wakizashi's secondary slash can kill multiple enemies.

It is the best to use primary slash for rushing or escaping.

Do not confront mini-bosses especially with secondary mode unless in dire situation.

Skilled players can use this in zombie mods.

Primary slash for surprise attack purposes and secondary slash to confront zombies.

It is the best to attack zombies with the Wakizashi when they're not aware or when the zombie is weak to lower the chance of being infected.

Aim for the Head/Back to deal massive damage.

Combine secondary slash with Bloody Blade for massive damage output.

Combine with high-stun primary and secondary weapons such as XM1014 and Dual Infinity to maximize Wakizashi's abilities.

Trivia

• There is an unused sequence named "stab_miss".
• It shares the same wall impact and hit sound of the Master Combat knife.
• There is a bug where you can do a false slash by switching to other weapon while performing the secondary attack.
• This is one of the few melee weapons that can be combined with Deadly Shot. The other ones are SKULL-9, Green Dragon Blade, Hammer and Ruyi Stick. This bug is illegal in Singapore/Malaysia, any user that performs this can get banned permanently.
• The Wakizashi was used by Japanese samurais as a secondary sword in ancient Japan.
• According to game files, it's stated as Katana while for the in-game model, it's Wakizashi, noticeable by their length. In most Counter-Strike Online regions, they are stated as Katana except Japan.
