Throughout the story of NieR Replicant, we will have access to a total of 33 weapons before ending E. Some of these are purchased, some are automatically earned, some must be found, and some side quest rewards. Here, as usual, we will tell you all there are, how to get them and how to improve them.
One-Handed Weapons (Swords)
One-handed swords are, in essence, what their name indicates. These are weapons for close combat close to the enemy. They are possibly the most versatile weapons because they allow us to hit very quickly and retreat if necessary, dodging enemy attacks or putting land in between.

Two-Handed Weapons
In this category, we have greatswords but also axes. I mean, we have two-handed weapons. These are rather slow weapons that do a lot of damage and have a medium range. They can easily stop the advance of enemies that are not too big thanks to their weight.

Lances
In this category, we have polearms, or in other words, spears. These are weapons with a medium-range, which allow us to attack without hitting the enemy. Although they don't have much-stopping power, they can easily take out small enemies before they become a problem.
