In the vast world of *NieR: Automata*, you'll encounter a wide array of enemy types, each potentially dropping unique materials essential for upgrading your pods and weapons. While there isn't a definitive master list detailing which enemies drop which materials, you'll naturally come across most during your gameplay. However, some materials like Warped Wire might require a bit of focused farming to obtain.
Where To Get Warped Wire In NieR: Automata
Warped Wire is a rare drop from the stacked bipedal machines, which, despite not being particularly formidable, don't spawn frequently—except in one specific area. To farm Warped Wire efficiently, Fast Travel to the Desert Camp access point and proceed towards the main desert. Before you reach the expansive desert, you'll navigate through mountainous terrain and follow a pipe leading through some ruins. This region is teeming with the stacked machines you need, making it the prime location for your farming endeavors.
Focus on the two small clearings near the destroyed buildings; these spots are hotspots for the stacked variants. With a decent drop rate, you're likely to pick up one or two Warped Wires each time you clear these areas. To boost your farming efficiency, consider equipping a Drop Rate Up plug-in chip.
To expedite the respawning of these machines, you have a couple of effective methods:
- Fast travel to a different location and then back to the Desert Camp. This will instantly respawn all the enemies.
- Alternatively, running far away and returning will also cause them to respawn, though this method is slower due to the distance involved.
To maximize your farming efforts, it's wise to invest in Drop Rate Increase chips, especially since many upgrade materials are sourced from machines. You'll likely find yourself employing similar farming techniques for other weapons as well. Additionally, equipping Movement Speed Increase chips can streamline your trips to and from access points. While this might only shave off a few seconds, these chips can also be advantageous for completing the game's racing side quests.
