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

The Iron Pipe boasts the game's widest damage range but also possesses exceptionally high damage potential. Its unpredictable nature makes it a gamble, but definitely 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 sewer locations offer equal drop rates; the first is more accessible.

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

Descend into the sewer, enter the water, and begin fishing. Other junk items, sellable for money, may also be caught. There's no guaranteed method to increase drop rate; it may take several attempts. Use your Pod's light in the dark sewer to improve visibility and ease of catching.

A second sewer is located en route to the Flooded City.
