YoRHa No.2 Type B, also known as simply 2B, is an all-purpose battle android created by YoRHa and fights in the 14th Machine War.
Backstory[]
2B, along with a squadron of other YoRHa units, is sent to the Abandoned Factory to eliminate a Goliath-class target. After becoming the only survivor of the assault, she meets up with her assigned Scanner, 9S. The pair explore the factory and are unable to find their target until it comes to life on the outskirts of the building. A fight ensues and 9S is severely damaged in the process. After 2B makes her way to the top the briefly disabled Goliath, she finds a mortally wounded 9S and is briefly overcome with emotion in an attempt to save him. 9S implores her to leave him to finish the mission and 2B hesitantly complies. After the target is destroyed, 2B and 9S reunite, only for three more Engels machines to appear and attack them. Faced with overwhelming odds, the pair are forced to detonate their black boxes in order to destroy the Goliaths.
It is revealed that after detonating their black boxes, 2B's data was uploaded back to the Bunker and transferred to a new body, ensuring her survival. However, as there wasn't enough bandwidth and time, 9S only managed to send 2B's memories with his only intact up to the point of before meeting her. Realizing that 9S has forgotten her yet again, 2B clenches her fist in frustration.
After having her boot sequence taken care of by 9S, the pair are sent to Earth in order to provide reconnaissance information and establish contact with the Resistance planetside. During their endeavors, 2B and 9S notice how many of their machine lifeform enemies are docile, with some having begun to take on human traits. Seeing this visibly disturbs 2B, despite 9S' insistence that the machines don't have actual emotions. During their operations on the surface, 2B and 9S witness the birth of and fight Adam and Eve, two humanoid machines who were created by the machine network with the intent of discovering the secrets of humanity. They also encounter Pascal, a pacifistic machine who leads a village of equally minded machine lifeforms, and A2, a deserter android who used to be a part of YoRHa many years ago.
Later, during an operation against the titanic machine Grün, 9S is blasted away by the ensuing explosion and separated from 2B. She searches for him desperately and her search eventually leads her to the Copied City. Adam lies in wait for her, explaining that he created the city in his attempts to understand humans. He also reveals that he has captured 9S, impaling him in a manner similar to crucifixion. Seeing this sends 2B into a rage, vowing to kill her machine adversary. In the ensuing battle, she does, leaving Adam to die in a pool of his own blood. She frees 9S, carrying him out of the collapsing city with a promise to send him home.
After having 9S' body sent back to the Bunker, 2B meets with Pascal to see if there have been any other strange trends among the machines. She learns of another group of machines disconnected from the network were open to discussing a treaty and she travels with Pascal to the Abandoned Factory to meet them. It quickly becomes apparent that the machines there have become a cult and they turn aggressive on 2B and each other. With 9S' help hacking into other machines from the Bunker, 2B is able to escape. Upon returning to the Resistance Camp however, the machines in the area have gone berserk and begun eating the Resistance members. After 9S arrives in a flight unit to help dispatch a giant machine, 2B chases down Eve, the cause of the machine's behaviour from his grief for Adam. The battle is long and arduous, but 2B is finally able to stop the rampaging machines and kill Eve with a final stab of her sword.

Weapons: 2B has a wide variety of weapons at her disposal. This is a list of all weapons available and their respective abilities:
- Ancient Overlord ("A sword with a strange and uncomfortable aura. Long ago, a cruel lord used this sword on his own subjects in a vain attempt to attain immortality."): Striking an enemies projectile makes this blade launch a powerful shockwave. This weapon increases the chance for dealing a critical hit.
- Beastbane ("A sword decorated with a bestial motif. Short and thin, it easily goes unnoticed."): Using this weapon increases the wielders durability. An effect looking like claw swipes is added to every attack. This widens the range of the attack.

- Engine Blade ("A magical blade used by a royal family. A sword passed down and continuously improved among the royal family of a land where magic prospers."): Enemies are likely to stagger when hit by this blade. Equipping this blade allows 2B to teleport. This works in a similar fashion to Noctis' phase dodge. Although limited in range (8 metres, 24 metres with the plug-in chip "Evade Range Up"), the teleport can be used in rapid succession without detrimental effects.
- Faith ("A blade once held by an attendant who cared deeply for his lord. Like his loyalty, its blade is unbent."): Using this weapon increases the wielders attack speed. Hitting an enemies projectiles will heal the wielder.

- Type-40 Sword ("The latest YoRHa model. An advanced blade, issued to elite YoRHa on the front lines. Its power increases with its charge."): Enemies are likely to stagger when hit by this blade. This blade charges energy as long as it is not used. This charge becomes visible in the form of blue electricity. Although this state last for only a few swings, it provides an increase of the blades attack potency.
- Type-3 Sword ("An outdated YoRHa model. A dated YoRHa blade trusted by android veterans. Not the latest model, but proven in combat."): Using this weapon increases the wielders durability. This blade launches an explosion towards the enemy at the end of an attack combo.
- Virtuous Contract ("A white blade used by samurai of the east. A white sword like those carried by samurai of old. Looks flashy, but the blade is top quality."): Using this weapon increases the wielders attack speed. As long the wielders health is in good condition the attack potency of this weapon is increased.
