NieR: Automata features a wide array of enemy types, each potentially dropping unique 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.
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 high concentrations. Fast travel to the Desert Camp access point and proceed towards the main desert. Before reaching the open desert, navigate the mountainous region following a pipe, passing through some ruins. This area consistently spawns multiple stacked machines.
Focus on two small clearings near destroyed buildings; these are the most reliable spawning points for the stacked bipedal machines. Warped Wire has a reasonable drop rate, typically yielding one or two per clearing. Using a Drop Rate Up plug-in chip significantly accelerates the process.
Respawning Enemies for Efficient Farming:
To expedite farming, utilize these enemy respawning techniques:
- Fast Travel: Fast travel to any other location and then return to Desert Camp. This instantly respawns all enemies.
- Run Away and Return: Moving a significant distance away and returning will also respawn enemies, but fast traveling is far more efficient due to the reduced travel time.
Investing in drop rate increase chips is highly recommended. Many upgrade materials are machine drops, and similar farming strategies are often necessary for weapon upgrades. Movement Speed increase chips also enhance efficiency by reducing travel time between access points, offering a slight advantage in completing races and side quests.
