In the realm of NieR: Automata, each weapon possesses a distinct damage range for its attacks. Upgrading your weapons can enhance their consistency and maximize damage output per swing. While many weapons exhibit tighter damage spreads, the Iron Pipe is noteworthy for having the widest spread in the game, combined with a substantial potential damage output. Here’s how to locate this unique weapon and why it might be worth your time.
How to Acquire the Iron Pipe in NieR: Automata
The Iron Pipe can be discovered as a possible catch while fishing in the sewer. While there are multiple sewer locations, the initial one is the most accessible. You can fast travel to the Resistance Camp and then head towards the Amusement Park. After traversing a small gap, look for an open manhole where you can descend into the sewer.
Once inside the sewer, simply wade through the water and initiate fishing attempts to reel in the Iron Pipe. Be aware that you’ll encounter various other junk items during this activity, which can be sold for currency. The catch process might take anywhere from just a few casts to a significantly longer duration. To illuminate your surroundings and improve visibility for catching, ensure to activate your pod’s light to identify when the lure is submerged.
If you seek another sewer location, continue your journey toward the Flooded City; there, you’ll find an additional fishing spot.
