In *NieR: Automata*, Small Swords are known for their rapid attack speed and a compact hitbox that extends in front of the wielder. These weapons serve as a versatile choice, adept at handling the game's diverse enemy roster. While upgrading your current arsenal can enhance their longevity, the game also offers a variety of formidable weapons that can be discovered and enhanced. Among these, the Type-40 weapons stand out as exceptional examples. The Type-40 Sword, in particular, is a hidden gem that requires specific side quests to unlock.
How To Get The Type-40 Sword In NieR: Automata
To acquire the Type-40 Sword, you must complete the side quest "Find A Present," which is the final quest in a series linked to Operator 6O. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to unlock this quest and secure the sword, including the necessary chapters to revisit using Chapter Select.
- Post your battle with Adam and Eve at the end of Chapter 5, expect a call from Operator 6O.
- This call initiates the "Investigating Communications" quest, which you should complete immediately to avoid missing it.
- Advance through the main storyline until you finish Chapter 6, which includes the events at the Forest Castle, and then proceed into Chapter 7.
- After conversing with Pascal about A2, explore the city ruins until Operator 6O contacts you again, prompting you to check your inbox at an access point to start the "Terminal Repairs" quest.
- As you journey back to the Resistance Camp in Chapter 7, you'll receive another call from Operator 6O discussing flowers and a subsequent message in your inbox.
- Interact with this message to commence the "Find a Present" quest.
- Upon completing "Find a Present," the Type-40 Sword will be delivered to your inbox as a reward.
Starting at level 1, the Type-40 Sword features a 5-hit combo for light attacks and a 3-hit combo for heavy attacks. Upgrading it to level 4 extends the light attack combo to 7 hits and enhances its ability to stun enemies. To fully upgrade the weapon, you'll need Titanium Alloy.
