For any weapon you have at least five main attack types: Normal (N) where you just press the attack button, Charge (C) where you press and hold the button, and in some cases have to release it to do the attack, Dash Strike (DS) where you tap the Dash button and then immediately an attack button, and then Run Strike (RS) where you have dashed and are at a full run, then use the attack button, and finally Aerial, where you are attacking in mid air.All weapon types can be assigned to either Fast or Strong slots (or just Fast for 9S).

All weapons within the same category will have the exact same attacks and combos for a character.

Weapons can be upgraded to level 4, with the weapons vendors taking them to 3 and Master Swordsmith Masamune handling the upgrade to level 4. Upgrading Weapons further unlocks their Weapon Story, which is a narrative description for every weapon that explores the history and background of the weapon. Through the game's Crafting system you can use money and acquired Materials to upgrade your weapons at the weapons vendor in the Resistance Camp. You can assign the weapons in your weapon sets from the Weapons menu tab and in combat, you can press Up on the D-pad to swap your sets. Your 2 weapons are bound to Square and Triangle buttons (X and Y on XBox controllers) respectively. For 9S, each set is 1 weapon, since his Hacking takes the place of his second weapon. For 2B and A2, each set is made up of 2 weapons.

Players can wield 2 sets of weapons at a time. There are a total of 40 weapons across all categories. Weapons in NieR: Automata are shown below. They are broken down into 4 types - Small Swords, Large Swords, Spears and Combat Bracers.
