NieR: Automata - Find Dented Plates Effortlessly

NieR: Automata Resource Management: Farming Dented Plates

While resource abundance varies in NieR: Automata, the demand for materials, especially for weapon upgrades, remains high. Dented Plates, a frequently needed resource, can be efficiently farmed using several strategies.

Efficient Dented Plate Farming Locations

Dented Plates are commonly dropped by:

• Small Biped (all variants)
• Small Flyer (all variants)
• Small Sphere (all variants)

These ubiquitous enemies are prevalent throughout the game. However, relying solely on random encounters isn't the most efficient method.

Optimal Farming Spot: Adam's Arena

The most effective location is the pit where you first encounter Adam.

1. Fast travel to the Desert: Housing Complex access point.
2. Proceed deeper into the ruins.
3. Descend to the pit.

Here, enemies continuously respawn, providing a consistent supply of Small Bipeds, the primary source of Dented Plates. Even lower-level enemies in this area offer a decent drop rate. This location is also advantageous for Titanium Alloy farming.

Alternative Farming Location: Forest Kingdom

The Forest Kingdom offers another viable option. Groups of spear-wielding Bipeds frequently appear, often dropping at least one Dented Plate per group. This area also provides opportunities to gather Beast Hide. Higher-level Bipeds yield a greater chance of Dented Plate drops, so progressing through the story increases your odds.

Utilizing Plug-in Chips

Equipping drop-rate up plug-in chips significantly boosts your chances of obtaining Dented Plates. Remember to avoid death to prevent permanent chip loss.
