How to Obtain Warped Wire in NieR: Automata

In the expansive world of NieR: Automata, players encounter a variety of enemy types, each dropping unique materials crucial for upgrading pods and weapons. While the game doesn't provide a comprehensive list of which enemies drop specific materials, most can be collected naturally as you progress. However, some materials, such as Warped Wire, require targeted farming due to their rarity and the elusive nature of the enemies that drop them.

Where To Get Warped Wire In NieR: Automata

Warped Wire is primarily dropped by stacked bipedal machines. These enemies are not particularly formidable but spawn infrequently, except in one key location. To farm Warped Wire efficiently, Fast Travel to the Desert Camp access point and proceed along the path towards the main desert area. As you approach, you'll navigate through mountainous terrain and follow a pipe that leads through some ruins. This specific area is teeming with stacked enemies, making it the most reliable spot to find them.

Focus on two small clearings around destroyed buildings within this zone. These spots consistently host the stacked machine variants you need. Warped Wire boasts a decent drop rate; you can expect to obtain one or two pieces each time you clear these areas. To enhance your farming efficiency, consider equipping a Drop Rate Up plug-in chip.

To expedite the respawn of these machines for continuous farming, you can employ the following strategies:

• Fast travel to another location and then return to the Desert Camp to instantly respawn all enemies.
• Alternatively, run far away from the area and then come back. Although effective, this method is slower due to the distance involved.

If you're not frequently dying to these enemies, it's wise to invest in Drop Rate Increase chips. These not only aid in farming Warped Wire but also help with acquiring other upgrade materials from machines, which you'll need in abundance if you're aiming to enhance multiple weapons. Additionally, Movement Speed Increase chips can streamline your trips to and from access points, saving you time. While the time saved might seem minimal, these chips can also be beneficial for completing the game's racing side quests.
