NieR: Automata Fishing Guide: A Relaxing Way to Earn Big
NieR: Automata offers more than just intense android-machine warfare. For a more peaceful pursuit, consider fishing! While not directly contributing to combat strength, fishing provides a surprisingly efficient method for acquiring rare items and quick cash without the resource expenditure of combat. This guide details how to fish and the rewards you can expect.
How to Fish in NieR: Automata
Fishing is accessible in almost any body of water, even shallow areas like those near the Resistance Camp. Simply stand still in the water; a fishing prompt will appear above your character. Hold the designated button to initiate fishing:
- PlayStation: O
- Xbox: B
- PC: Enter
After casting your pod, wait for it to be fully submerged with an audible "plop." Quickly press the same button to reel in your catch. Reaction time is crucial; a delayed response means losing the fish. You can cast repeatedly without limitation. A helpful plug-in chip displays a fishing icon in the top right corner when fishing is possible.
Rewards for Fishing in NieR: Automata
Most fish and junk items acquired through fishing command a high sale price, making it a safe and fast way to earn money early in the game, particularly for expanding your plug-in chip capacity. Fishing in sewers offers a chance to obtain the Iron Pipe, a potentially powerful weapon depending on your luck.
