NieR: Automata features a vast 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 location to farm Warped Wire.
Farming Warped Wire in NieR: Automata
Warped Wire is a possible drop from stacked bipedal machines. These enemies are not particularly challenging, but their infrequent spawns limit convenient farming locations. The most reliable spot is near the Desert Camp access point.
After fast traveling to Desert Camp, proceed along the path towards the main desert. Before reaching the open desert, you'll traverse a mountainous area alongside a pipe, passing some ruins. This section contains multiple stacked enemies.
Focus on two small clearings near the destroyed buildings. The machines surrounding these structures are predominantly the stacked variety. Warped Wire boasts a reasonable drop rate; expect one or two per clearing. Using a Drop Rate Up plug-in chip significantly accelerates this process.
To expedite farming, employ these respawn methods:
- Fast Travel: Quickly travel elsewhere and then return to Desert Camp to refresh enemy spawns.
- Manual Respawn: Run a significant distance away and return; however, fast traveling is considerably faster.
Investing in drop rate increase chips is highly recommended, given the frequency of machine-dropped upgrade materials. This strategy proves valuable for various weapon upgrades. Similarly, movement speed increase chips optimize travel time between access points, beneficial for both farming and completing side quests, such as races.
