NieR: Automata features numerous enemy types, each potentially dropping various materials crucial for pod and weapon upgrades. While many materials are acquired naturally during gameplay, some, like Warped Wire, require targeted farming. This guide pinpoints an efficient Warped Wire farming location.
Warped Wire Farming Location in NieR: Automata
Warped Wire is a drop from stacked bipedal machines. These enemies are infrequent, except for one specific area. 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, passing through some ruins. This section consistently spawns multiple stacked machines, making it ideal for farming.
Two small clearings near ruined structures are the prime locations. All machines near these buildings are the stacked variety. Warped Wire has a reasonable drop rate; typically one or two per clearing. Using a Drop Rate Up plug-in chip significantly accelerates this process.
Respawning Enemies for Faster Farming:
To expedite farming, utilize these respawning methods:
- Fast Travel: Fast travel to another location and then return to Desert Camp to reset all enemies.
- Run Away and Back: Moving a significant distance away and returning will also respawn enemies, though fast traveling is considerably faster.
Chip Recommendations:
Investing in drop rate increase chips is highly recommended, given the frequency of material farming required for weapon upgrades. Movement Speed increase chips also improve efficiency, especially when utilizing fast travel. While the time saved per trip is minimal, these chips are beneficial for completing the game's racing side quests.
