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 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.

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. While their level may vary depending on your game progress, the drop rate for Dented Plates remains decent. This location is also advantageous for Titanium Alloy farming.

Alternative Farming Locations: Forest Kingdom

The Forest Kingdom offers another viable 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, so progressing through the game increases your chances of obtaining more Dented Plates.

Improving Drop Rates

Equipping drop-rate enhancing plug-in chips significantly boosts your yield. Remember to avoid death, as this results in permanent chip loss.
