NieR: Automata - 秘籍解鎖 Type-40 劍

In NieR:Automata, short swords boast fast attack speeds and narrow hitboxes, making them versatile weapons. While weapon upgrades enhance their longevity, powerful discoverable weapons, such as the Type-40 sword, offer significant power boosts. However, the Type-40 is easily missed; here's how to obtain it.

Acquiring the Type-40 Sword

The Type-40 Sword is the reward for completing the side quest "Find a Present," the final quest in a chain involving Operator 6O. To unlock it, you must first complete two preceding quests. Here's a step-by-step guide, 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 as it's easily missed.

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

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

4. "Find a Present": While returning to the Resistance Camp during Chapter 7, you'll receive a final message from Operator 6O mentioning flowers. This message, found in your inbox, begins the "Find a Present" quest.

5. Reward: Completing "Find a Present" delivers the Type-40 Sword to your inbox.

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

Additional "Find a Present" Rewards

Completing "Find a Present" also yields:

• A130: Bomb
• Amber x 4
• 5,000 G
• 800 EXP
