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 farmed efficiently using these strategies.
Optimal Farming Locations for Dented Plates
Dented Plates are commonly dropped by:
- Small Biped (all variants)
- Small Flyer (all variants)
- Small Sphere (all variants)
These common enemies are prevalent throughout the game. However, relying solely on random encounters isn't the most efficient method.
The most effective location is the arena where you first encounter Adam.
- Fast travel to the Desert: Housing Complex access point.
- Proceed deeper into the ruins and descend to the pit.
- Continuously eliminate the respawning machines. Small Bipeds are the most frequent enemy here, providing a consistent Dented Plate drop rate. This area also yields Titanium Alloy.
Alternative Farming Locations
The Forest Kingdom offers another option. Groups of spear-wielding Bipeds frequently drop Dented Plates. This area also provides opportunities to gather Beast Hide. Note that higher-level Bipeds yield a higher drop rate, so progressing the story increases your chances of obtaining Dented Plates.
Improving Drop Rates
Equipping drop-rate-enhancing plug-in chips significantly boosts your yield. Remember to avoid death, as this results in permanent chip loss.
