NieR: Automata - Warped Wire: An Essential Guide

NieR: Automata's vast enemy roster drops a variety of 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 drop from stacked bipedal machines. These aren't common, but one area provides consistent spawns. 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, passing some ruins. This area reliably spawns multiple stacked enemies.

Two small clearings near ruined buildings are prime farming spots. All machines near these structures are the stacked variant. Warped Wire has a decent drop rate; expect one or two per clearing. Using a Drop Rate Up plug-in chip significantly accelerates the process.

Respawning Enemies for Faster Farming:

To quickly replenish enemies:

• Fast travel to a different location and return to Desert Camp. This is the most efficient method.
• Alternatively, run a significant distance away and return, though this is slower.

Chip Recommendations:

Investing in Drop Rate Up chips is highly beneficial, not just for Warped Wire, but for numerous upgrade materials dropped by machines. Movement Speed Up chips also improve efficiency, especially when frequently using fast travel. While the time saved per trip is minimal, these chips prove valuable for completing time-sensitive side quests.
