Complete guide to all 34 weapons in NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139..., including locations, upgrade materials, and how to obtain them.

NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139... features 34 weapons, plus 4 DLC weapons, categorized into one-handed swords, two-handed swords, and spears. Each weapon has three core stats: Attack Power, Magic Power (which boosts magic damage by a percentage), and Weight (slightly affecting combo and dodge speed). Weapons can be found in shops, crates within dungeons, or as quest/story rewards. Weapon upgrading is unlocked mid-way through Part 1 at the Two Brothers' shop in the Junk Heap, requiring specific materials and a gold fee. Each upgrade level also unlocks a part of the weapon's story. This guide details each weapon's location and the materials needed for a full Level 4 upgrade.
