NieR: Automata - Where To Get Warped Wire

NieR: Automata features a wide variety of enemies, many of which drop unique materials crucial for upgrading your pod and weapons. While most materials are acquired naturally during gameplay, some, like Warped Wire, require targeted farming. This guide pinpoints the best location to efficiently farm Warped Wire.

Farming Warped Wire in NieR: Automata

Warped Wire is a rare drop from stacked bipedal machines. These enemies are uncommon, but a specific area offers a high concentration. Use the Desert Camp fast travel point. Proceed along the path towards the main desert area. Before reaching the open desert, you'll navigate a mountainous region following a pipe through some ruins. This section consistently spawns multiple stacked machines.

Two small clearings near ruined buildings are ideal farming spots. All machines near these structures are the stacked variety. Warped Wire has a reasonable drop rate; you'll typically obtain one or two per clearing. Consider equipping a Drop Rate Up plug-in chip to expedite the process.

Respawning Enemies for Faster Farming:

To quickly replenish enemies:

• Fast Travel: Use the fast travel function to any other location and then return to Desert Camp. This resets all enemies.
• Run Away and Return: Moving a significant distance away and returning will also respawn enemies, though fast traveling is significantly faster.

Investing in drop rate increase chips is highly recommended. Many upgrade materials are machine drops, and you'll likely employ similar farming strategies for other upgrades. Movement speed increase chips also enhance efficiency, shaving seconds off travel times between fast travel points. This benefit extends beyond Warped Wire farming, proving helpful for completing timed side quests.
