Clear every gig Wakako Okada hands out in Westbrook. When her sign-off message lands, the katana is waiting in the stash at V's apartment.

Confirmed by published guides, not yet by Vaexil. Nobody here has walked this one in game, so take it as a strong lead rather than a promise. Cross-checked against CD PROJEKT RED patch notes, VULKK, and the Cyberpunk Wiki, for patch 2.31 with Phantom Liberty.
