NieR: Automata Resource Farming: Maximizing Dented Plate Acquisition
While resource abundance varies in NieR: Automata, the demand for materials, especially for weapon upgrades, remains high. Dented Plates, a frequently needed resource, can be efficiently farmed using several strategies.
Optimal Farming Locations for Dented Plates
Dented Plates are commonly dropped by:
- Small Biped (all variants)
- Small Flyer (all variants)
- Small Sphere (all variants)
These common enemies are prevalent throughout the game. However, relying solely on random encounters isn't the most efficient method.
The most effective farming location is the arena where Adam is first encountered in the main storyline.
- Fast travel to the Desert: Housing Complex access point.
- Proceed deeper into the ruins and descend to the pit.
- Continuously eliminate the respawning machines. Numerous Small Bipeds will consistently appear, providing a reliable source of Dented Plates. Even lower-level enemies here offer a decent drop rate. This location is also advantageous for Titanium Alloy farming.
Alternative Farming Locations
For players seeking varied locations:
- Forest Kingdom: Groups of spear-wielding Bipeds frequently drop Dented Plates. This area also offers opportunities to gather Beast Hide.
- Higher-level enemies: Progressing through the story increases the likelihood of encountering higher-level Bipeds with a higher Dented Plate drop rate.
Essential Tip: Equip drop-rate up plug-in chips to significantly boost your yield. Remember to avoid death to prevent permanent chip loss.
