NieR: Automata - Where To Get Warped Wire

NieR: Automata's vast enemy roster drops various materials crucial for pod and weapon upgrades. While many materials are acquired naturally, 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 rare drop from stacked bipedal machines. These enemies are sparsely distributed, except for one key area. Fast travel to the Desert Camp access point. Proceed along the path towards the main desert. Before reaching the open desert, you'll traverse mountainous terrain following a pipe, passing through some ruins. This area consistently spawns multiple stacked machines.

Two small clearings near ruined structures are ideal farming spots. All machines near these buildings are the stacked variety. Warped Wire boasts 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 Faster Farming:

To optimize farming:

• Fast Travel: Fast traveling away from and back to Desert Camp instantly respawns all enemies.
• Manual Respawn: Running a considerable distance away and returning also respawns them, but fast traveling is far more efficient.

Chip Recommendations:

Investing in drop rate increase chips is highly beneficial, given the frequency of material farming required for weapon upgrades. Movement Speed increase chips also improve efficiency, shaving seconds off travel time between access points. This is particularly useful for completing the game's racing side quests.
