How To Get The Iron Pipe In NieR: Automata

The Iron Pipe is apotential item foundwhen fishingin a sewer. The first sewer is the easiest to reach, and your odds of getting the Iron Pipe are the same in both. Fast travel to the Resistance Camp and out, following the path off to the right towards the Amusement Park. After jumping over the small gap, you’ll be under a highway with the path opening up to the right with a manhole being open that can be climbed down.

While in the sewer, simply stand in the water and start fishing to try andget the Iron Pipe. There are a few other junk items that you can fish up, all of which can be sold for money. There is no trick or way to alter this process, it can take anywhere from a few casts to spending a good few minutes trying to catch it. Since it’s dark in the sewer,turn on the pod’s light to help make it clearerwhen it goes underwater to help make the catching system easier.
