NieR: Automata - Warped Wire Locations Revealed

Farming Warped Wire in NieR: Automata: A Guide

NieR: Automata features a wide array of enemies, each potentially dropping various upgrade materials for your pod and weapons. While many materials are acquired naturally during gameplay, some, like Warped Wire, require targeted farming. This guide pinpoints the most efficient location to farm Warped Wire.

Location: Desert Camp's Hidden Hotspot

Warped Wire is a rare drop from stacked bipedal machines. These enemies are uncommon, but a specific area offers a high concentration. Fast travel to the Desert Camp access point. Proceed along the path towards the main desert. Before reaching the open desert, you'll traverse a mountainous region following a pipe through some ruins. This section boasts multiple stacked machine spawns, making it ideal for farming.

Two small clearings near destroyed buildings are the prime locations. All machines near these structures 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 this process.

Respawn Strategies:

To maximize efficiency, utilize these respawn methods:

• Fast Travel: Fast traveling away from and back to the Desert Camp instantly respawns all enemies. This is the quickest approach.
• Manual Respawn: Running a significant distance away and returning will also respawn enemies, but this method is considerably slower.

Chip Optimization:

Investing in drop rate increase chips is highly recommended. Many upgrade materials are machine drops, and similar farming strategies are often necessary for weapon upgrades. Movement speed increase chips further enhance efficiency by reducing travel time between access points, beneficial for both material farming and completing the game's racing side quests.
