The weapons in the new NieR Replicant for PS4, Xbox One and PC are more important than you might think. It doesn’t just let you get stronger and deal more damage to your enemies – it’s an integral part of the story. If you want to see everything in the game, you will need to find all 30 weapons.
You will need them to get the last two endings of the game. Weapons appear in the order that we give below, and some types are available only in the first or only in the second part. Therefore, before moving on to part 2, collect all possible weapons. The very end of the first part is the location of Haunted Manor, so before you go there, try to buy all the weapons in the shops and complete all possible side quests.
Where are all the weapons
A total of 30 weapons can be bought or found in NieR Replicant. To earn endings C and D, you need all three dozen. So if you’re lost and can’t find another weapon to get to the real final boss, we’ve put together a complete list of places to look for it for you.
