How To Get 2B In NieR Reincarnation
2B is available inNieR Reincarnationas part of a limited-time crossover event. The event period lasts fromJuly 28th to September 7th. Fans who miss out on getting 2B or other covetedNieR Automatacharacters during this time frame will have to wait for the possibility of the event returning in the future.
Luckily, getting the2B: Praying Battlercharacter just requires a small time investment. Players will earnAutomata Medalsby participating in Subquests in theRecord: The Cage of Reincarnationtab. Some of these quests can easily be completed and farmed even with a beginner-level party. Aside from just farming these quests to obtain items, series fans will enjoy the callbacks to the story andendings inNieR Automata.
It only takes 200 Automata Medals to obtain 2B or other 3-star characters from the event exchange. Players can reach theExchangefrom the Subquest menu under the Record: The Cage of Reincarnation tab, or by navigating to the Shop from the icon on the upper right corner of the screen.
It is also possible to obtain2B: Divergent Battlerduring theNieR Automatacrossover event. This is a 4-star version of 2B, and therefore significantly more powerful and useful during gameplay. This alternate 2B also features a unique outfit that was designed specifically for her appearance inNieR Reincarnation.
2B: Divergent Battler is only obtainable from gachaSummons, however. This means that players will need to purchase or accumulate premium Gems and hope for a lucky draw to obtain her. This should be an all-too-familiar system for fans ofGenshin Impactand other gacha games.
Alternatively, players can save up theirShards (Automata Crossover)to purchase 2B: Divergent Battler or another 4-star character from the Exchange outright. Each Summon yields 1 Shard, and a 4-star character costs 200 Shards. After 200 Summons, players can be guaranteed to get a featured character of their choice.
2B’s influence as a mascot for theNieRseries is far-reaching indeed. She has appeared in numerous crossovers since the 2017 release ofNieR Automata. This has included an appearance of2B inFall Guys,Soul Calibur, and other mobile gacha games similar toNieR Reincarnation. Fans of the character can rejoice at yet another opportunity to see the stylish android in action.
