Weapon damage in NieR: Automata varies with each swing. Upgrading reduces this variance and boosts potential damage.

The Iron Pipe boasts the game's widest damage range but also possesses exceptionally high potential damage. Its effectiveness is unpredictable, but it's worth acquiring and testing. Here's how:

How To Obtain the Iron Pipe in NieR: Automata

The Iron Pipe is a rare fishing reward found in sewers. Both sewers offer equal chances; the one near Resistance Camp is more accessible.

Fast travel to Resistance Camp. Head right towards the Amusement Park, jump the small gap, and descend the open manhole under the highway.

Fish in the sewer water. Other junk items are also possible and can be sold. There's no guaranteed method; obtaining the Iron Pipe may take seconds or several minutes. Use your Pod's light to improve visibility underwater.

Another sewer is located en route to the Flooded City.
