NieR: Automata: Optimizing Your Inventory and Spending
Almost every item in NieR: Automata can be sold for cash. While selling machine drops is a quick way to earn money, many items serve other purposes, and selling them might hinder your progress. Some items fetch significantly higher prices than others, making selling them a worthwhile endeavor. This guide highlights the best items to sell and the most effective ways to spend your hard-earned credits.
