Weapon damage in NieR: Automata varies wildly with each swing. Upgrading reduces this spread and boosts potential damage. While many weapons have tighter damage ranges, the Iron Pipe boasts the widest spread but also the highest potential damage output. It's a gamble, but definitely worth acquiring. Here's how:

How To Get The Iron Pipe In NieR: Automata

The Iron Pipe is a rare fishing reward found in sewers. Both sewer locations offer the same drop rate; the one near the Resistance Camp is easiest to access. Fast travel to the camp, then head right towards the Amusement Park. After crossing the small gap, you'll find an open manhole under a highway.

Descend into the sewer and fish in the water. You'll catch various junk items (sellable for money) alongside the Iron Pipe. There's no trick to increase your chances; it's pure luck. Fishing may take only a few casts or several minutes. Use your pod's light to improve visibility in the dark sewer. Another sewer location is en route to the Flooded City.
