Dented Plates Found: Key Crafting Materials in NieR: Automata

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 these strategies.

Optimal Farming Locations:

The most efficient method isn't simply relying on random encounters. The best location is the arena where you first confront Adam.

• Desert: Housing Complex: Fast travel to this point. Descend into the pit where the Adam battle takes place. Numerous basic bipedal machines constantly respawn, providing a consistent supply of Dented Plates. This area also yields Titanium Alloy.

• Forest Kingdom: Groups of spear-wielding bipeds are prevalent. While the drop rate per enemy might be lower, the concentration of enemies makes this a viable alternative. This area also offers opportunities to gather Beast Hide.

Enemy Types:

Dented Plates are commonly dropped by:

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

These are frequently encountered throughout the game. However, simply relying on random encounters is less efficient than targeted farming.

Increasing Drop Rates:

Equipping plug-in chips that boost drop rates significantly increases your yield. Remember, death results in permanent chip loss, so prioritize survival. Higher-level bipeds also have a higher chance of dropping Dented Plates, so progressing through the game naturally increases your chances.
