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 common enemies are prevalent throughout the game. However, relying solely on random encounters isn't the most efficient method.

The Optimal Farming Spot: Adam's Pit

The most effective location is the pit where you first encounter Adam.

1. Fast Travel: Use the Desert: Housing Complex access point.
2. Navigate: Proceed deeper into the ruins and descend to the pit.
3. Endless Spawning: Machines, primarily Small Bipeds, continuously respawn, providing a consistent supply of Dented Plates. This location also yields Titanium Alloy.

Alternative Farming Location: Forest Kingdom

The Forest Kingdom offers another option. Groups of spear-wielding Bipeds frequently drop Dented Plates. Exploring this area also provides opportunities to gather Beast Hide. Higher-level Bipeds yield a higher drop rate, making later game farming more efficient.

Boosting Drop Rates

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

By utilizing these strategies, you can amass the necessary Dented Plates for extensive weapon upgrades.
