NieR: Automata features a vast array of enemy types, each potentially dropping various materials crucial for pod and weapon upgrades. While many materials are acquired naturally during gameplay, some, like Warped Wire, require targeted farming. This guide pinpoints an efficient location for obtaining Warped Wire.

Farming Warped Wire in NieR: Automata

Warped Wire is a rare drop from specific bipedal machines. These enemies are uncommon, except for a particular area. The most reliable farming spot is accessible via the Desert Camp fast travel 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 bipedal machines—your target.

Two small clearings near ruined structures are ideal farming locations. All machines in these areas are the stacked variant. Warped Wire has a reasonable drop rate; you'll typically obtain one or two per clearing. Using a Drop Rate Up plug-in chip significantly accelerates this process.

To expedite farming, employ these respawning techniques:

• Fast Travel: Fast travel to another location and then return to Desert Camp. This instantly respawns all enemies.
• Distance Respawn: Moving far enough away and returning will also trigger respawning, but this is less efficient due to travel time.

Investing in drop rate increase chips is highly recommended, as many upgrade materials are machine drops. This farming strategy is frequently applicable for other upgrade materials. Similarly, movement speed increase chips minimize travel time between locations, proving beneficial for both material farming and completing side quests (like the races).
