Obtain Nier: Automata's Type-40 Sword Effortlessly

In NieR:Automata, smaller swords boast rapid attack speeds and compact hitboxes, making them versatile weapons against diverse enemies. While weapon upgrades enhance their longevity, numerous powerful weapons, such as the Type-40 sword, are obtainable and upgradable for increased character strength. However, the Type-40 Sword is easily missed; here's how to acquire it.

Obtaining the Type-40 Sword

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 guide, including chapter selection points:

1. After defeating Adam and Eve in Chapter 5, you'll receive a call from Operator 6O. This message, titled "Investigating Communications," is easily missed; complete it immediately.
2. Advance the main storyline, completing Chapter 6 (Forest Castle events) and beginning Chapter 7.
3. After speaking with Pascal and inquiring about A2, explore the city ruins. Another call from Operator 6O will direct you to check your inbox at an access point to initiate the "Terminal Repairs" quest.
4. While returning to the Resistance Camp during Chapter 7, a final call from Operator 6O will mention flowers and send another message to your inbox.
5. Interact with this message to begin "Find a Present."
6. Upon completing "Find a Present," the Type-40 Sword will be delivered to your inbox.

At level 1, the Type-40 Sword executes a 5-hit light attack combo and a 3-hit heavy attack combo. Upgrade it to level 4 to increase the light attack combo to 7 hits and enhance its enemy-stunning capabilities. Titanium Alloy is required for these upgrades.

Completing "Find a Present" also yields:

• A130: Bomb
• Amber x 4
