Weapon damage in NieR: Automata varies with each swing. Upgrading reduces this variance and boosts potential damage.

While many weapons have tighter damage ranges, the Iron Pipe boasts the game's widest spread, yet also possesses exceptionally high potential damage. Its unpredictable nature makes it a gamble, but definitely worth acquiring and testing. Here's how:

How To Obtain the Iron Pipe in NieR: Automata

The Iron Pipe is a rare fishing reward found in sewers. Both sewers offer equal chances; the first is most accessible. Fast travel to the Resistance Camp, then head right towards the Amusement Park. After crossing the small gap, you'll find an open manhole beneath a highway.

Descend into the sewer, enter the water, and begin fishing. Besides the Iron Pipe, you'll find other sellable junk. There's no guaranteed method; it might take several casts or several minutes. Use your Pod's light to improve visibility in the dark sewer, aiding in spotting submerged items.

A second sewer is located en route to the Flooded City.
