How To Get The Type-40 Sword In NieR: Automata

by

In the realm of NieR: Automata, I’ve found that the smaller swords pack quite a punch. They’re swift and agile, perfect for quick strikes. The hitbox is rather focused in front of me, making them ideal for dealing with a diverse range of enemies. These blades strike a nice balance between power and maneuverability, making them a go-to choice during my gaming adventures.

You have the option to enhance your weapons for extended use, or you can discover and later upgrade more potent weapons that will significantly boost your character’s strength. The Type-40 sword stands out as a powerful choice among these upgrades, but it can be hard to come across unless you’re completing side missions; here’s a guide on how to obtain it.

How To Get The Type-40 Sword In NieR: Automata

The Type-40 Sword is earned by accomplishing the side mission titled “Find A Present,” which serves as the culmination of a series of related missions centered around Operator 6O. To access this mission and obtain the sword, you must first finish two other side quests. Here’s a breakdown of the steps required to initiate each side quest, along with guidance on where to proceed if using Chapter Select:

1. Complete the prerequisite side quests:
– Side Quest 1: Follow the given instructions to start this quest and complete it.
– Side Quest 2: Start this mission following these guidelines and see it through to completion.

2. Once both tasks are accomplished, the “Find A Present” side quest will become available.
3. Complete the final quest in the series, “Find A Present,” to earn the Type-40 Sword as a reward.

  • After fighting Adam and Eve at the end of Chapter 5, you’ll get a call from Operator 6O.
  • This message begins “Investigating Communications” which is missable so complete it right away.
  • Progress the main story and complete the next chapter and the events of the Forest Castle (chapter 6), beginning Chapter 7.
  • After talking to Pascal and asking about A2, wander around the city ruins to get another call from Operator 6O, who tells you to check your inbox at an access point to begin the quest “Terminal Repairs“.
  • On your way back to the Resistance Camp continuing Chapter 7, you’ll get a final call where Operator 6O talks about flowers and sends you another message in your inbox.
  • Interact with the message to begin “Find a Present“.
  • Completing “Find a Present” will have the Type-40 Sword sent to your inbox as a reward.

At the initial stage, the Type-40 Sword performs a sequence of 5 light attacks and 3 heavy attacks in a 5-hit combo and 3-hit combo respectively. This weapon is capable of being enhanced to level 4, which enhances its light attack combo to 7 hits, and provides an advantage when stun-locking enemies. However, you’ll need Titanium Alloy for the necessary upgrades throughout the process.

Other Rewards For Find A Present

Completing this quest will have the following rewards also in the message for completing the quest:

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