NieR: Automata boasts a diverse enemy roster, many dropping unique materials crucial for pod and weapon upgrades. While most materials are acquired naturally, some, like Warped Wire, require targeted farming. This guide pinpoints the optimal location for efficient Warped Wire acquisition.
Farming Warped Wire in NieR: Automata
Warped Wire is a potential drop from stacked bipedal machines. These aren't frequently encountered, except in one specific area. Utilize the Desert Camp fast travel point. Proceed along the path 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 enemies.
Two small clearings near ruined structures are ideal farming spots. All machines near these buildings are the stacked variety. Warped Wire boasts a reasonable drop rate; expect one or two per clearing. Consider equipping a Drop Rate Up plug-in chip to accelerate the process.
Respawning Enemies for Faster Farming:
To expedite farming, employ these enemy respawning techniques:
- Fast Travel: Fast travel to a different location, then return to Desert Camp. This instantly respawns all enemies.
- Manual Respawn: Moving a significant distance away and returning will also respawn enemies, but fast travel is significantly faster.
Investing in drop rate increase chips is highly recommended. Many upgrade materials are machine drops, and similar farming strategies are often necessary for comprehensive weapon upgrades. Movement Speed increase chips also enhance efficiency, particularly useful for completing time-sensitive side quests.
