In the expansive world of *NieR: Automata*, you'll encounter a wide variety of enemy types, each dropping unique materials crucial for upgrading your pods and weapons. While there's no definitive master list detailing which enemies drop what, you'll naturally come across most materials during your gameplay. However, certain materials, like Warped Wire, are less common and require dedicated farming.
Warped Wire, in particular, is elusive as it's dropped by only a few enemy types that are easily bypassed. If you're in need of this material, here’s the best place to farm it:
Where To Get Warped Wire In NieR: Automata
Warped Wire can be obtained from stacked bipedal machines, which aren’t particularly formidable but spawn infrequently—except in one specific area. To farm Warped Wire efficiently, Fast Travel to the Desert Camp access point. Follow the path towards the main desert, but before you reach the vast expanse, you'll navigate through mountainous terrain and follow a pipe through some ruins. This area is your goldmine, as it reliably spawns multiple stacked enemies.
Focus on two small clearings near destroyed buildings within this area. These spots consistently host the stacked bipedal machines you need. The drop rate for Warped Wire here is quite favorable; you can expect to collect one or two pieces each time you clear these zones. To enhance your farming efficiency, consider equipping a Drop Rate Up plug-in chip.
To make the farming process smoother and quicker, here are a couple of strategies to respawn the machines:
- Fast travel to another location and then return to the Desert Camp to respawn all enemies.
- Alternatively, run far away and come back, though fast traveling is faster due to the considerable distance involved.
If you're not frequently dying to these enemies, investing in Drop Rate Increase chips is highly recommended. Many upgrade materials in *NieR: Automata* are sourced from machines, and similar farming methods will be necessary if you aim to upgrade multiple weapons. Additionally, Movement Speed Increase chips can expedite your trips between access points, saving you precious seconds. These chips are also beneficial for completing race side quests if you're aiming to achieve them alongside your farming efforts.
