Weapon damage in NieR: Automata varies with each swing. Upgrading reduces this variation 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 a worthwhile acquisition. Here's how to find it:

How To Obtain the Iron Pipe in NieR: Automata

The Iron Pipe is a rare fishing reward found in sewers. Both sewers offer the same drop rate; the one near Resistance Camp is more easily accessible.

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.

Once in the sewer, fish in the water. Other junk items can be sold. There's no guaranteed method; it might take several casts or several minutes. Use your Pod's light to improve visibility underwater.

Another sewer is located on the route to the Flooded City.
