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 stands out for fans of Square Enix: Noctis's Engine Blade from Final Fantasy XV. This guide details its location and key stats, obtainable during your first playthrough.

Where To Find The Engine Blade In NieR: Automata

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

Exiting the access point, follow the right path (2D camera perspective). Pass a fenced area, ascend broken stairs, and navigate conveyor belts with moving boxes and potentially lethal presses. Jump to the next cylindrical area, encountering spider-like enemies.

Take the left door, climbing stairs while dodging exploding enemies. A railing ends mid-way, leading to a platform extending towards the camera. This triggers another 2D platforming section, requiring jumps across presses to the left. The final room contains three chests; the Engine Blade is in the left chest.

Beware: More exploding enemies descend as you approach.

Engine Blade Stats In NieR: Automata

• Attack: 160-200

This weapon allows four upgrades, culminating in a light combo of 7 hits (requires finding Masamune). Unlike the Iron Pipe, it boasts a tighter damage range, offering more predictable damage output.
