Unlock Secrets: Uncover the Ancient Power of Type-40 Sword in NieR: Automata

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, like the Type-40 sword, are available through upgrades, the Type-40 is easily missed. This guide details its acquisition.

Obtaining the Type-40 Sword hinges on completing the side quest "Find A Present," the culmination of a questline involving Operator 6O. This requires completing two preceding 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 initiating the "Investigating Communications" quest. Complete this immediately as it's easily missed.

2. Chapter 6 & 7 Progression: Advance through Chapter 6 (Forest Castle events) and into Chapter 7.

3. "Terminal Repairs": Following a conversation with Pascal about A2, explore the city ruins. Another call from Operator 6O will direct you to an access point to begin the "Terminal Repairs" quest.

4. "Find A Present": While returning to the Resistance Camp during Chapter 7, a final call from Operator 6O will mention flowers and send a message initiating "Find a Present." Interact with this message to start the quest.

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

Type-40 Sword Stats (Level 1): 5-hit light attack combo, 3-hit heavy attack combo. Upgrade to level 4 for a 7-hit light attack combo and enhanced enemy stunning capabilities (requires Titanium Alloy).

Additional "Find A Present" Rewards:
