NieR: Automata boasts a wide array of enemy types, each potentially dropping unique materials crucial for pod and weapon upgrades. While many materials are acquired naturally during gameplay, some, like Warped Wire, require targeted farming. This guide pinpoints an efficient Warped Wire farming location.

Warped Wire Farming Location in NieR: Automata

Warped Wire is a possible drop from stacked bipedal machines. These aren't particularly challenging foes, but their infrequent spawns make farming necessary. The most reliable location is near the Desert Camp fast travel point.

Proceed along the path towards the main desert. Before reaching the open desert, you'll traverse mountainous terrain following a pipe through some ruins. This area consistently spawns multiple stacked machines.

Two small clearings near ruined buildings are ideal farming spots. All machines in these areas are the stacked variety. Warped Wire has a reasonable drop rate; expect one or two per clearing. Equipping a Drop Rate Up plug-in chip significantly accelerates the process.

Respawning Enemies for Efficient Farming:

To expedite farming, utilize these enemy respawning methods:

• Fast Travel: Fast travel to a different location, then return to Desert Camp. This instantly respawns all enemies.
• Manual Respawn: Running a significant distance away and returning will also respawn enemies, but fast traveling is considerably faster.

Chip Recommendations:

Investing in drop rate increase chips is highly recommended, as many upgrade materials are machine drops. Similar farming strategies are often needed for weapon upgrades. Movement Speed increase chips also enhance efficiency, especially when fast traveling between access points. While the time saved per trip is minimal, these chips prove invaluable for completing time-sensitive side quests.
