How can you get it?

Unlike other legendary weapons available in the world or won through certain quests, the Cerulean Glitch Long Katana is connected to the Awakening Shadows Project. This system works like a battle pass, giving players rewards for doing daily and weekly challenges. Unlike standard battle passes, you don't have to pay real money — everything is earned in-game.

To unlock the Awakening Shadows Project, you must first find an Animus breach anywhere in the world. When you turn it on, you'll get access to a series of reward-based advancements, with the Cerulean Glitch available at rank 18. Continue playing objectives in the Project to level up through the ranks, and when you reach rank 18, the Long Katana is yours.

Ability DPS: 22,160
