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 required material, can be farmed efficiently 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.

Optimal Farming Spot: Adam's Pit

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

1. Fast travel to the Desert: Housing Complex access point.
2. Proceed deeper into the ruins.
3. Descend to the pit.

Here, machines continuously respawn, providing a consistent supply of Small Bipeds, the primary Dented Plate source. Even lower-level enemies here offer a decent drop rate. This area also yields Titanium Alloy.

Alternative Farming Location: Forest Kingdom

The Forest Kingdom offers another viable option. Groups of spear-wielding Bipeds frequently appear, each group typically dropping at least one Dented Plate. This area also provides opportunities to gather Beast Hide. Higher-level Bipeds yield a higher drop rate, so progressing the story increases your chances.

Increasing Drop Rates

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