"NieR: Automata - Locating Warped Wire Guide"

In the vast world of NieR: Automata, you'll encounter a myriad of enemy types, each dropping different materials essential for upgrading your pod and weapons. While there isn't a definitive master list to guide you on which enemies drop which materials, you'll naturally come across most of them as you progress through the game. However, some materials, like Warped Wire, require a more targeted approach to farm efficiently.

Where To Get Warped Wire In NieR: Automata

Warped Wire is primarily dropped by stacked bipedal machines. These enemies, though not formidable, are sparse in most areas of the game. To farm Warped Wire effectively, Fast Travel to the Desert Camp access point and head towards the main desert. As you navigate through the mountains and follow a pipe that leads through some ruins, you'll encounter the area where these stacked machines frequently spawn.

Focus on two small clearings around destroyed buildings within this area, as these are hotspots for the stacked variants. The drop rate for Warped Wire is quite favorable, typically yielding one or two wires each time you clear these zones. To enhance your farming efficiency, consider equipping a Drop Rate Up plug-in chip.

To expedite the respawn of these machines, you can:

• Fast travel to another location and then back to the Desert Camp to respawn all enemies.
• Run far away and return, though fast traveling is quicker due to the distance involved.

If you find yourself not dying frequently to these enemies, it's wise to invest in drop rate increase chips. These are beneficial not only for Warped Wire but for many other upgrade materials you'll need to farm throughout the game. Additionally, Movement Speed increase chips can shave seconds off your travel time between access points, which can be particularly useful if you're also aiming to complete the race side quests.
