NieR: Automata offers a diverse arsenal, from quirky choices like the Iron Pipe to powerful options such as the Type-40 Blade. Many weapons are unique to the game, but one weapon will feel familiar to Square Enix fans.

Noctis's Engine Blade from Final Fantasy XV makes an appearance during your first playthrough of NieR: Automata. Here's how to locate it and a summary of its stats.

Where To Find The Engine Blade In NieR: Automata

The Engine Blade is hidden within the factory area, but not accessible during the game's opening. You'll need to revisit the location as 2B. Chapter Select (Chapter 9) provides a quick route to acquire it. Begin at the Factory: Hanger access point.

Exiting the access point, veer right, following the path with a 2D camera perspective. You'll pass a fenced area before ascending broken stairs and boarding a conveyor belt. The next belt features dangerous presses; navigate carefully to avoid being crushed. Jump to the next cylinder, where spider-like enemies await.

Enter the door to the left, climbing more stairs while dodging exploding enemies. Midway, the railing ends and the platform extends. Move forward to shift the camera angle, triggering another 2D platforming section. Jump across the presses, following the path to the left. A final room contains three chests; the Engine Blade is in the leftmost chest.

Caution: Exploding enemies will descend from the ceiling as you approach.
