NieR: Automata - Where To Get Dented Plates

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 optimal.

The most efficient farming location is the pit where Adam is first encountered in the main storyline.

1. Fast travel to the Desert: Housing Complex access point.
2. Proceed deeper into the ruins and descend to the pit.
3. Continuously spawning machines, primarily Small Bipeds, provide a consistent source of Dented Plates. While enemy levels may vary depending on your game progress, the drop rate remains decent. This location is also ideal for Titanium Alloy farming.

Alternative Farming Locations

For a more varied approach:

• 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 likelihood of encountering higher-level Bipeds with a higher Dented Plate drop rate.

Optimizing Dented Plate Acquisition

Equipping drop-rate-enhancing plug-in chips significantly boosts your yield. Remember to avoid death, as lost chips are permanent.

By employing these strategies, you can effectively amass the Dented Plates necessary for extensive weapon upgrades in NieR: Automata.
