Weapons are more important than you might realize in NieR Replicant on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Weapons aren’t just ways to upgrades your power and deal more damage to enemies — they’re also integral to the story. If you want to see everything this game has to offer, you need to get all 30 weapons.
All 30 weapons are required to get the final two endings of the game. The weapons appear in (basically) this order, and some weapons are only available in Part 1 and Part 2. Buy up any weapons you can before starting Part 2. The Haunted Manor is right before the end of Part 1, so grab all the weapons from the different shops and complete all the side-quests you can find.
