NieR: Automata - Where To Get Dented Plates

NieR: Automata Resource Management: Farming Dented Plates

While resource abundance varies in NieR: Automata, the demand for materials, especially for weapon upgrades, remains high. Dented Plates, a frequently needed resource, can be farmed efficiently using several strategies.

Efficient Dented Plate Farming Locations

Dented Plates are commonly dropped by:

• Small Biped (all variants)
• Small Flyer (all variants)
• Small Sphere (all variants)

These common enemies are prevalent throughout the game. However, relying solely on random encounters isn't the most efficient method.

Optimal Farming Spot: Adam's Arena

The most effective location for farming Dented Plates is the arena where you first encounter Adam.

1. Fast Travel: Use the Desert: Housing Complex access point.
2. Navigate: Follow the path into the ruins and descend to the pit.
3. Endless Respawn: Enemies, primarily Small Bipeds, continuously respawn, providing a consistent supply of Dented Plates. This location also yields Titanium Alloy.

Alternative Farming Location: Forest Kingdom

The Forest Kingdom offers another viable option. Groups of spear-wielding Bipeds frequently drop Dented Plates. This area also provides opportunities to gather Beast Hide. Higher-level Bipeds in later game stages yield a higher drop rate.

Increasing Drop Rates

Equipping drop-rate enhancing plug-in chips significantly boosts Dented Plate acquisition. Remember to avoid death to prevent permanent chip loss. Progressing through the main story also increases the likelihood of encountering higher-level enemies with improved drop rates.
