What are Nero's Devil Breakers

Devil Breakers are robotic prosthetic arms built by Nero's engineer friend Nico to replace the original 'Devil Bringer' arm that was ripped from Nero by a mysterious hooded figure. The Devil Breaker is used by Nero as a weapon and is able to carry up to four cartridges by default, with eight being the total number available in the base game, with additional types being offered as DLC. The Devil Breaker allows Nero to make combos and powerful attacks, depending on what he equips. It also lets him use the ability Wire Snatch - sending a wire that can pull enemies towards Nero or bring Nero closer to his targets. This move is available by default even if Nero has no Devil Breaker part equipped.

When you play as Nero Devil Breakers will spawn during every stage of gameplay. You can also use the red phone booth to summon Nico's van and item shop. Nero's Devil Breakers can be purchased from this shop and can be used to replenish your supply of carried items.
