NieR: Automata features a wide array of enemies, many of which drop valuable materials for upgrading your pod and weapons. While most materials are acquired naturally during gameplay, some, like Warped Wire, require targeted farming. This guide pinpoints the most efficient location to farm Warped Wire.
Farming Warped Wire in NieR: Automata
Warped Wire is a rare drop from stacked bipedal machines. These enemies are uncommon, but a specific area offers a high concentration. Fast travel to the Desert Camp access point. Proceed along the path towards the main desert. Before reaching the open desert, you'll traverse mountainous terrain following a pipe through some ruins. This section consistently spawns multiple stacked machines.
Two small clearings near ruined structures are ideal farming spots. All machines in these areas are the stacked variant. Warped Wire has a reasonable drop rate; typically, one or two are obtained per clearing. Using a Drop Rate Up plug-in chip significantly accelerates this process.
To expedite farming, utilize these respawning methods:
- Fast Travel: Fast travel to a different location and then return to Desert Camp to instantly respawn all enemies.
- Distance Respawn: Running a significant distance away and returning will also respawn enemies, but fast traveling is considerably faster.
Investing in drop rate increase chips is highly recommended, as many upgrade materials are machine drops. This farming technique is frequently applicable for various weapon upgrades. Movement Speed increase chips further enhance efficiency by minimizing travel time between access points, though the benefit here is minor. However, these speed chips are beneficial for completing the game's racing side quests.
