Episode 1 Weapon Strategies and Walk-through
Daikatana's first episode, Kyoto, Japan, 2455, takes place in Mishima's vast industrial complex. You'll encounter robotic creatures, such as the froginator and robocrox, and deadly armored guards, such as the ragemaster and inmater. Thankfully you'll be equipped with an arsenal powerful enough to take down the beasts and reach your eventual goal - freeing Superfly and Mikiko from separate prisons. This section of the Daikatana game guide covers episode one with weapon strategies and a full walk-through.

Episode 1 Weapon Strategies
The first episode arsenal offers a deadly mix of close- and long-range weaponry. The shotcycler-6 blasts apart enemies at close-range, while the sidewinder and ion blaster provide long-range effectiveness. This section covers single- and multiplayer strategies for the weapons of Daikatana's first episode.
Disruptor Glove
Maximum ammunition: N/A
Range: Short
Rate of fire: Medium
Damage potential: Medium
The default weapon from episode one, the disruptor glove won't be your first choice, especially against enemies carrying ranged weaponry. Use the glove to pummel melee enemies or for underwater skirmishes where the ion blaster might be too dangerous. Being a simple glove, you must get extremely close to the enemy to connect successfully; for your efforts, though, the disruptor glove dishes out a decent amount of damage.
If you're struggling with ammunition shortages, the disruptor glove makes a viable alternative, but it's a tough row to hoe against the episode's more dangerous enemies. Though it inflicts decent damage, it can only be considered a medium threat because it's difficult to consistently score damaging blows without taking an extreme amount of damage yourself. The disruptor glove includes a significant power-up, the ultimate gas hands, which basically turns the glove into a one-hit kill powerhouse.
