In NieR: Automata, you'll encounter a wide variety of enemies, each dropping different materials essential for upgrading your pod and weapons. While you'll gather most materials naturally as you progress through the game, some, like Warped Wire, require targeted farming due to their rarity and the specific enemies that drop them. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to efficiently farm Warped Wire.
Where To Get Warped Wire In NieR: Automata
Warped Wire is primarily dropped by stacked bipedal machines. These machines aren't particularly tough, but they don't spawn frequently, except in one key location. To farm Warped Wire effectively, Fast Travel to the Desert Camp access point and head towards the main desert area. As you move forward, you'll navigate through mountainous terrain and follow a pipe through some ruins before reaching the open desert. This specific area is your best bet for encountering multiple stacked enemies.
Focus on two small clearings near destroyed buildings within this zone. These spots consistently host the stacked bipedal machines you need. Warped Wire has a respectable drop rate; you can typically collect one or two pieces each time you clear out these areas. To boost your efficiency, consider equipping a Drop Rate Up plug-in chip, which will increase your chances of obtaining Warped Wire.
To make your farming process even smoother, here are a few methods to respawn the machines:
- Fast travel to another location and then return to the Desert Camp to respawn all enemies quickly.
- Alternatively, run far away and then come back to trigger respawns, though this method is less efficient due to the distance involved.
If you're not frequently dying to these enemies, it's wise to invest in Drop Rate Increase chips. Many upgrade materials in NieR: Automata come from machines, and similar farming techniques will be necessary if you aim to upgrade multiple weapons. Additionally, Movement Speed Increase chips can expedite your trips to and from access points, saving you time. While this might only shave off a few seconds here, these chips are also invaluable for completing the game's race side quests efficiently.
