NieR: Automata features a wide array of enemy types, each potentially dropping various materials crucial for upgrading your pod and weapons. While many materials are acquired naturally during gameplay, some, like Warped Wire, require targeted farming. This guide pinpoints an efficient location to 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. 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 contains multiple stacked enemies, making it ideal for farming.

Focus on two small clearings near destroyed buildings. The stacked bipedal machines clustered around these structures have a relatively high Warped Wire drop rate. Typically, clearing these areas yields one or two Warped Wire per run. Equipping a Drop Rate Up plug-in chip significantly accelerates this process.

To expedite farming, utilize these enemy respawn methods:

• Fast Travel: Fast travel to a different location and then return to Desert Camp; this resets all enemies.
• Run Away and Return: Moving a significant distance away and returning will also cause enemies to respawn, but fast traveling is considerably faster.

Investing in drop rate increase chips is highly recommended, as many upgrade materials are machine drops. This farming strategy is applicable to obtaining other rare materials. Similarly, movement speed increase chips reduce travel time between access points, proving beneficial for both material farming and completing the game's racing side quests.
