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 required 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 optimal.
The most effective farming location is the arena where Adam is first encountered in the main storyline.
- Access the Farm: Fast travel to the Desert: Housing Complex access point.
- Navigate to the Pit: Proceed deeper into the ruins and descend into the pit.
- Endless Spawning: Machines, primarily Small Bipeds, continuously respawn, providing a consistent source of Dented Plates. The enemies' level may be lower depending on your game progress, but their drop rate remains favorable. This location also yields Titanium Alloy.
Alternative Farming Locations
For players preferring varied locations:
- Forest Kingdom: Groups of spear-wielding Bipeds frequently drop Dented Plates. This area also offers opportunities to gather Beast Hide.
- Higher-Level Enemies: Progressing through the story increases the chance of encountering higher-level Bipeds with a higher Dented Plate drop rate.
Maximize Your Yield
Equipping drop-rate enhancing plug-in chips significantly boosts Dented Plate acquisition. Remember to avoid death to prevent permanent chip loss.
