NieR: Automata features a wide array of 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 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 concentrated in a specific area. The most reliable location is accessible via the Desert Camp fast travel point. Head towards the main desert, but before reaching the open expanse, you'll traverse mountainous terrain alongside a pipe, passing some ruins. This section consistently spawns multiple stacked bipedal machines.
Two small clearings near ruined structures are ideal farming spots. All machines near these buildings are the stacked variety. Warped Wire has a reasonable drop rate; typically, clearing these areas yields one or two Warped Wires per run. Using a Drop Rate Up plug-in chip significantly accelerates this process.
To expedite farming, utilize these respawn methods:
- Fast Travel: Fast travel to a different location and then return to Desert Camp; this instantly respawns all enemies.
- Distance Respawn: Running a significant distance away and returning will also respawn enemies, though fast travel is considerably faster.
Investing in drop rate increase chips is highly recommended. Many upgrade materials are machine drops, and similar farming strategies are frequently necessary for weapon upgrades. Movement Speed increase chips, while offering minor time savings in this instance, prove invaluable for completing timed side quests.
