NieR: Automata - Unveil the Secrets to Acquiring the Type-40 Sword

NieR: Automata's Type-40 Sword: A Guide to Acquisition

Small swords in NieR: Automata are known for their rapid attack speed and compact hitbox, making them versatile weapons. While numerous powerful weapons, such as the Type-40 sword, can be acquired and upgraded, this particular weapon is easily missed. This guide details how to obtain it.

The Type-40 sword is the reward for completing the side quest "Find a Present," the culmination of a questline involving Operator 6O. Unlocking this quest requires completing two preceding side quests. Here's a step-by-step breakdown, including chapter selection points:

1. Post-Chapter 5: After defeating Adam and Eve in Chapter 5, you'll receive a call from Operator 6O. This initiates the "Investigating Communications" quest; complete it immediately.

2. Chapter 6 & 7 Progression: Advance through the main story, completing Chapter 6 (Forest Castle events) and beginning Chapter 7.

3. "Terminal Repairs": After speaking with Pascal and inquiring about A2, explore the city ruins. Operator 6O will contact you again, directing you to check your inbox at an access point to start "Terminal Repairs."

4. "Find a Present": While returning to the Resistance Camp during Chapter 7, you'll receive a final call from Operator 6O mentioning flowers and a subsequent inbox message. Interact with this message to begin "Find a Present."

5. Reward: Upon completing "Find a Present," the Type-40 Sword will be delivered to your inbox.

The Type-40 Sword boasts a 5-hit light attack combo and a 3-hit heavy attack combo at level 1. Upgrading it to level 4 extends the light attack combo to 7 hits and enhances its effectiveness against stunned enemies. Titanium Alloy is required for these upgrades.
