"Discover the Elusive Warped Wire in Nier: Automata"

NieR: Automata features a wide variety of enemies, many of which drop 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 concentrated in one specific area. Fast travel to the Desert Camp access point. Proceed along the path toward the main desert. Before reaching the open desert, you'll traverse a mountainous region following a pipe through some ruins. This area reliably spawns multiple stacked machines.

Focus on two small clearings near destroyed buildings. The machines near these structures are consistently 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.

To quickly respawn enemies for continuous farming:

• Fast Travel: Use fast travel to any other location, then return to Desert Camp. This instantly respawns all enemies.
• Run Away: Running a significant distance and returning will also respawn enemies, but fast travel is considerably faster.

Investing in drop rate increase chips is generally worthwhile, as numerous upgrade materials are machine drops. You'll likely employ similar farming strategies for other weapon upgrades. Movement Speed chips also improve travel efficiency between access points, saving valuable seconds and aiding in completing race side quests.
