NieR: Automata: Unveiling the Elixir to Obtain Warped Wire

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.

Optimal Farming Location:

Warped Wire is a drop from stacked bipedal machines. These aren't commonly encountered, except for one specific 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 through some ruins. This section consistently spawns multiple stacked bipedal machines.

Two small clearings near ruined buildings are ideal. The machines in these areas are predominantly the stacked variety. Warped Wire boasts a reasonable drop rate; expect one or two per clearing. Consider using a Drop Rate Up plug-in chip to expedite the process.

Respawning Enemies:

To maximize efficiency, employ these enemy respawning techniques:

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

Chip Recommendations:

Investing in Drop Rate Up chips is highly recommended, not only for Warped Wire but for numerous other upgrade materials dropped by machines. Similarly, Movement Speed Up chips can slightly reduce travel time between access points, proving beneficial for both farming and completing side quests, such as races.
