'NieR: Automata' Tips and Tricks: How to Boost the Arsenal and Ramp Up Gameplay
PlatinumGames' newest action role-playing video game "NieR: Automata" has been receiving positive reviews since it was launched in PlayStation 4 this month.
According to Game Rant, players have nothing but praise for the role-playing game that is being likened to Square Enix's highly popular "Final Fantasy 15" and FromSoftware's "Dark Souls." The gameplay of "NieR: Automata" is said to be challenging enough to excite even the most hardcore of gamers. The difficulty levels included are "tough-but-fair" and combat action is "lightning-quick."
Those who are planning to experience the post-apocalyptic setting of the game must be ready to face the unknown. Playing the protagonist 2B, who will fight an army of machine invaders, is said to be no easy task.

Acclimatizing oneself to the camera movements in the game is imperative. The sudden shifts in perspectives while playing tends to cause disorientation for many. Players should expect an influx of enemies as well. First-timers tend to be confused that they forget it is possible to use more than one weapon at a time. Multitasking is the key. 2B's trusty Pod companion is a powerful weapon that can cut down machines by its stream of bullets. Players only need to hold down the R1 shoulder button on the PS4 controller.
While exploring maps and quest areas, players need to keep an eye out for hidden materials which may be used for weapon upgrades later on. There are also bonuses concealed in the most unlikely places. These will come in handy when purchasing upgrade chips. It is reportedly best to combine chips as soon as possible, as any upgrade will go a long way.
Meanwhile, those who wish to make changes in 2B's clothing may do so, but it is important to note that the accessories added are purely ornamental. According to Twinfinite, they do not have any effect on the player's standing. Players who want to add colorful ribbons to their robot may do the Lost Girl side mission. A battle suit armor may also be procured at the beginning of the third playthrough.
