In the captivating world of *NieR: Automata*, you'll encounter a diverse array of enemy types, each capable of dropping unique materials essential for upgrading your pods and weapons. While there's no definitive master list detailing which enemies drop what, most materials are obtainable as you progress through the game. However, certain materials like Warped Wire may require some targeted farming efforts due to their rarity and the elusive nature of the enemies that drop them.
Where to Get Warped Wire in NieR: Automata
Warped Wire is primarily dropped by stacked bipedal machines, which are not commonly encountered throughout the game. Fortunately, there's a reliable spot where these enemies frequently appear. To farm Warped Wire efficiently, Fast Travel to the Desert Camp access point and proceed along the path towards the main desert. As you approach the open desert, you'll navigate through mountainous terrain and follow a pipe leading through some ruins. This specific area is known for spawning multiple stacked enemies, making it the go-to location for Warped Wire farming.
Focus your attention on the two small clearings around destroyed buildings within this area. These clearings are hotspots where the stacked variants of the machines tend to congregate. Warped Wire boasts a decent drop rate, and you can expect to collect one or two pieces each time you clear the machines in these zones. To enhance your farming efficiency, consider equipping a Drop Rate Up plug-in chip, which can significantly boost your yield.
To ensure a continuous supply of enemies for farming, employ these respawn techniques:
- Fast travel to another location and then return to the Desert Camp. This method will respawn all enemies quickly.
- Alternatively, running a considerable distance away and returning can also trigger a respawn, 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 are sourced from machines, and you'll likely find yourself engaging in similar farming strategies if you aim to upgrade multiple weapons. Additionally, Movement Speed Increase chips can expedite your trips between access points. While they might only save you a few seconds, they prove invaluable for completing the game's race side quests, enhancing your overall gaming experience.
