NieR: Automata's Type-40 Sword: A Guide to Acquisition
Small swords in NieR: Automata are characterized by their rapid attack speed and compact hitbox, making them versatile weapons against diverse enemies. While weapon upgrades enhance their longevity, powerful, upgradable weapons like the Type-40 sword significantly boost character strength. However, obtaining the Type-40 sword requires completing a specific side quest chain.
Unlocking 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. To unlock this final quest, two preceding quests must be completed. Here's a step-by-step guide, including chapter selection points:
-
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.
-
Chapter 6 & 7 Progression: Advance through Chapter 6, completing the events within the Forest Castle. Begin Chapter 7.

"Terminal Repairs": Following a conversation with Pascal about A2, explore the city ruins. Operator 6O will contact you again, directing you to check your inbox at an access point to start the "Terminal Repairs" quest.
-
"Find a Present": While returning to the Resistance Camp during Chapter 7, a final call from Operator 6O will precede a new message in your inbox regarding flowers. Interact with this message to begin "Find a Present."
-
Reward: Upon completing "Find a Present," the Type-40 sword will be delivered to your inbox.
