Weapon damage in NieR: Automata varies with each swing. Upgrading reduces this damage variation and increases potential damage output.

The Iron Pipe boasts the game's widest damage range but also possesses exceptionally high potential damage. Its effectiveness is unpredictable, but it's a worthwhile acquisition. Here's how to obtain it:

How To Get The Iron Pipe in NieR: Automata

The Iron Pipe is a rare fishing reward found in a sewer. Both sewers offer the same drop rate; the one near Resistance Camp is easier to access.

Fast travel to Resistance Camp and head right towards the Amusement Park. After crossing a small gap, you'll find an open manhole under a highway.

Descend into the sewer, enter the water, and begin fishing. Several junk items are also available, which can be sold. There's no guaranteed method to increase your chances; it may take several attempts. Use your Pod's light to improve visibility in the dark sewer.

Another sewer is located en route to the Flooded City.
