NieR: Automata boasts a diverse enemy roster, many of which drop materials crucial for pod and weapon upgrades. While most materials are acquired naturally, 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 potential drop from stacked bipedal machines. These enemies are uncommon, but concentrated in 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 through some ruins. This area is densely populated with the desired stacked machines.
Two small clearings near ruined structures are prime farming spots. All machines near these buildings are the stacked variety. Warped Wire has a reasonable drop rate; expect one or two per clearing. Using a Drop Rate Up plug-in chip significantly accelerates the process.
Respawning Enemies for Faster Farming:
To maximize efficiency, employ these enemy respawning techniques:
- Fast Travel: Fast travel to another location and then return to Desert Camp. This instantly respawns all enemies.
- Manual Respawn: Running a significant distance away and returning will also respawn enemies, but fast traveling is considerably faster.
Chip Recommendations:
Investing in drop rate increase chips is highly recommended, as numerous upgrade materials are machine drops. This farming strategy is frequently replicated for other upgrades. Movement Speed increase chips, while offering only minor time savings here, prove invaluable for completing the game's racing side quests.
