NieR: Automata's vast enemy roster drops a variety of upgrade materials for your pod and weapons. 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 uncommon, but a specific area offers high density spawning.

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 features multiple stacked bipedal machines, ideal for farming.

Focus on two small clearings near ruined buildings. The machines here are predominantly the stacked variant. Warped Wire has a reasonable drop rate; expect one or two per clearing. Consider equipping a Drop Rate Up plug-in chip to accelerate the process.

Respawning Enemies:

To optimize farming, utilize these enemy respawning techniques:

• Fast Travel: Fast travel away from the area, then return to Desert Camp. This instantly respawns all enemies.
• Manual Respawn: Running a significant distance away and returning will also respawn enemies, but fast travel is significantly faster.

Investing in drop rate increase chips is highly recommended, as many upgrade materials are machine drops. This farming strategy is applicable to various upgrade material hunts. Similarly, movement speed increase chips can expedite travel between access points, proving useful for both material farming and completing timed quests.
