Issue Description:
The 3rd light attack on the Catachan Mk IV Devil’s Claw sword is incorrect, either the attack itself or the label.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Equip Catachan Mk IV “Devil’s Claw” Sword
- Examine attack patterns in Inspect mode - note the 3rd light attack indicates as Strikedown
- Enter Psykhanium or any mission
- Swing 3 times so you can see what light attack 3 does - note that the 3rd light attack is, in fact, a perfectly horizontal swing similar to a Relentless attack rather than a Strikedown attack

I would like to bring attention to this again since it’s still an issue nearly a year later.
And I can propose a fix, since I noticed another attack on this weapon is affected similarly.
The push attack is a vertical strikedown, but has no anti-armour properties, and cleaves instead.
The 2 attack properties could be swapped and that would fix the weapon both visually and make it stronger in gameplay, with an infinite loop against hordes: 1st light > 2nd heavy > 3rd light > 2nd heavy > repeat
As it stands now, doing this infinite loop against hordes is not ideal as the 3rd light attack has single target strikedown properties, even though it’s perfectly horizontal.
And the push attack (which is vertical) would also be more useful, with proper strikedown properties, you could do an anti-armour combo: push attack > 1st heavy > repeat
I hope this gets addressed quickly, so we can all finally enjoy this weapon without the game lying to us.
