How to Obtain the Type-40 Sword in NieR: Automata

In *NieR: Automata*, small swords are prized for their rapid attack speed and compact hitbox, making them an excellent choice for tackling the diverse array of enemies you'll encounter. These weapons strike a perfect balance, serving as a versatile middle ground in your arsenal.

While upgrading your existing weapons can extend their usefulness, the game also offers a range of powerful weapons that can be discovered and enhanced to significantly boost your characters' strength. Among these, the Type-40 weapons stand out, with the Type-40 Sword being particularly noteworthy. However, obtaining this sword requires completing specific side quests, which can be easily missed if you're not careful. Here's a detailed guide on how to secure the Type-40 Sword.

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

The Type-40 Sword is a coveted reward for completing the side quest "Find A Present," which is the final quest in a series centered around Operator 6O. To unlock this quest and claim the sword, you must first complete two preceding side quests. Below is a step-by-step guide on how to trigger each quest, including the chapters you should jump to if you're using Chapter Select:

• After defeating Adam and Eve at the end of Chapter 5, you'll receive a call from Operator 6O.
• This call initiates the "Investigating Communications" quest, which is missable, so make sure to complete it immediately.
• Continue the main storyline, finishing the next chapter and the events at the Forest Castle (Chapter 6), which will lead you into Chapter 7.
• After conversing with Pascal and inquiring about A2, explore the city ruins until you receive another call from Operator 6O. She'll instruct you to check your inbox at an access point to start the "Terminal Repairs" quest.
• As you head back to the Resistance Camp during Chapter 7, you'll receive a final call from Operator 6O discussing flowers and sending another message to your inbox.
• Interact with this message to begin the "Find a Present" quest.
• Upon completing "Find a Present," the Type-40 Sword will be delivered to your inbox as a reward.
