NieR: Automata's vast enemy roster drops various 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 rare drop from stacked bipedal machines. These enemies are sparsely distributed, except in one key 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 enemies.

Two small clearings near ruined structures are ideal farming spots. All machines near these buildings are the stacked variety. Warped Wire boasts a reasonable drop rate; clearing these areas usually yields one or two. Equipping a Drop Rate Up plug-in chip significantly accelerates this process.

Respawning Enemies for Faster Farming:

To expedite farming:

• Fast Travel: Fast travel to another location and then return to Desert Camp to instantly respawn all enemies. This is far more efficient than the alternative.
• Run Away and Return: Running a significant distance away and returning will also trigger enemy respawns, but it's considerably slower.

Chip Recommendations:

Investing in Drop Rate Up chips is highly recommended, given the frequency of material farming required for weapon upgrades. Movement Speed chips also enhance efficiency, although the time saved here is minimal. They prove more beneficial for completing time-sensitive side quests.
