Nier Replicant Weapons Guide

During Part 1 you will only be able to use and find one-handed weapons. Once Part 2 begins, Weapon Shops will begin selling two-handed weapons. All weapons have weight.

Spears
Spears become available in Part 2. In regards to attack speeds, they’re somewhat in between the one-handed and two-handed swords. They usually inflict significant damage, and their range excels over the other weapon types. Their long range is balanced by the area of effect it has. Where sword swings can damage most enemies surrounding you, spear attacks are more concentrated at damaging what’s in front of you.

You gain the ability to upgrade weapons during Part 1, after completing the story mission, Establish the Shop at the Junk Heap. Completing this mission automatically upgrades your starting weapon (Nameless Blade) to level 2. Visit Two Brothers Weaponry and select Strengthen Weapons to see the materials and cost each weapon requires. Different weapons require different materials. All weapons max out at level 4. The higher the level you’re trying to upgrade to, the rarer the materials it’ll require.
