NieR Collab

Details about Punishing: Gray Raven's upcoming collaboration with the hit video game NieR: Automata.

· Estimated GL Release: July 05 2022 · Obtainable Characters: 2B, 9S, A2 · Team Element: Physical (100%)



Debuting in the Untold Naraka patch in early July 2022, the NieR: Automata characters make up a potent Physical team. If you have ever played NieR: Automata, you'll notice the care and attention to detail that was put into making 2B, 9S, and A2 feel natural in Punishing: Gray Raven. Sprinting, PODs, even the hacking minigame — it's all here. The PGR devs are fans of NieR, which is why the NieR team goes far and beyond the typical collab and really shines.

''' IMPORTANT!  Due to their nature as collab characters, 2B, 9S, and A2 — as well as their weapons — are available for a limited time only.''' If it follows the pattern of the CN release, they can only be obtained during Untold Naraka or during a ONE-TIME re-run.

         

 List of Patches Until Untold Naraka: Fake Ascension (Current) → Untold Naraka (NieR Patch)


 * -|NieR Team Gameplay=

The gameplay style of the NieR team is a little different than most. Each character's skills and weapons are loaded with extra effects on top of their Rank passive abilities. This team can do a lot with very little, and the more you invest, the more you get out of them.


 * -|NieR Event=

This section features miscellaneous elements of the NieR event specifically. DISCLAIMER: The Global version may receive changes to the event that make it completely different, so please keep that in mind.


 * -|F2P Concerns=

If you are a true Free-to-Play player, you may have seen an upcoming patch that contains three S-Rank characters preceded by a different S-Rank character and started to worry. While all three NieR characters are S-Rank, they do not come with an S-Rank price tag.


 * -|Spender Tips=

The NieR team has a much smaller price tag than any other S-Rank in the game. This isn't to say that they are cheap by any means, but they are certainly more affordable for the average spender. This is largely due to gacha bonuses and all the Shard packs being sold in the Shop.


 * -|Meta Analysis=

The NieR team's effectiveness is subjective and will come down to a variety of factors — their Rank, their weapons, their Memories, and even your own gameplay ability.

2B, 9S, and A2 will all receive their own alternate coatings. Lucia: Crimson Abyss may receive a Drakengard-inspired one as well.

Without seeing them in action, it's difficult to appreciate the NieR team to the fullest. This section contains various YouTube videos to help show them off.
