In the new NieR: Automata trailer today, titled Arsenal of Elegant Destruction, Square Enix introduces the weapon types, combo system, and battle mechanics.
“The game will feature four weapon types available to protagonist 2B (small swords, large swords, spears and combat bracers) that can be switched mid-combo to maximize 2B’s range of abilities and effectiveness,” they said. “Players can also unlock a diverse arsenal of weapons and upgrades to the player’s Pod support system to enhance their gameplay.”
