Type-40 Sword Available Now in NieR: Automata

Author : Adam Update : Jan 23,2025

In NieR:Automata, small swords boast rapid attack speeds and compact hitboxes, making them versatile weapons. While upgrades enhance their longevity, numerous powerful weapons, such as the Type-40 sword, offer significant combat advantages. This guide details how to acquire this often-missed weapon.

Obtaining the Type-40 Sword

The Type-40 Sword is the reward for completing the side quest "Find A Present," the final quest in a series involving Operator 6O. Unlocking this requires completing two preceding quests. Here's a step-by-step guide, including chapter selection options:

Post-Chapter 5: After defeating Adam and Eve in Chapter 5, you'll receive a call from Operator 6O. This initiates the "Investigating Communications" quest—complete it immediately, as it's easily missed.
Chapter 6 & 7 Progression: Proceed through Chapter 6 (Forest Castle events) and into Chapter 7.
"Terminal Repairs": After conversing with Pascal about A2 and exploring the city ruins, Operator 6O will contact you again, directing you to check your inbox at an access point to start "Terminal Repairs."
Final Call & "Find A Present": On your return to the Resistance Camp (during Chapter 7), a final call from Operator 6O will mention flowers and send another message. Interact with this message to begin "Find A Present."
Reward: Completing "Find A Present" delivers the Type-40 Sword to your inbox.

Type-40 Sword Stats & Upgrades

At level 1, the Type-40 Sword executes a 5-hit light attack combo and a 3-hit heavy attack combo. Upgrading it to level 4 increases the light attack combo to 7 hits and boosts its effectiveness against stunned foes. Titanium Alloy is required for these upgrades.
