NieR: Automata features a wide array of enemy types, each potentially dropping various materials crucial for upgrading your pod and weapons. While many materials are acquired naturally during gameplay, some, like Warped Wire, require targeted farming. This guide pinpoints an efficient Warped Wire farming location.
Finding Warped Wire in NieR: Automata
Warped Wire is a rare drop from specific bipedal machines. These enemies are uncommon, but a reliable location exists. 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 area boasts multiple stacked bipedal machines—your Warped Wire source.
Focus on the two small clearings near the ruined buildings. These clearings consistently spawn the stacked machine type. 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 optimize farming, utilize these enemy respawn methods:
- Fast Travel: Fast travel to another location, 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 travel is considerably faster.
Chip Recommendations
Investing in Drop Rate Up chips is highly beneficial, not just for Warped Wire, but for many upgrade materials dropped by machines. Movement Speed chips, while offering only minor time savings here, prove invaluable for completing the game's race side quests.
