NieR: Automata - Where To Get Dented Plates

NieR: Automata Resource Farming: Maximizing Dented Plate Acquisition

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.

Optimal Farming Locations for Dented Plates

Dented Plates are commonly dropped by:

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

These enemies are prevalent throughout the game. However, relying solely on random encounters is inefficient.

The most effective 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 eliminate the respawning machines. Small Bipeds are the most common and provide a consistent Dented Plate drop rate. This location also yields Titanium Alloy.

Alternative Farming Locations

For a less concentrated approach:

• Forest Kingdom: Groups of spear-wielding Bipeds frequently drop Dented Plates. This area also offers opportunities to gather Beast Hide. Higher-level Bipeds yield a higher drop rate, making story progression beneficial.

Increasing Dented Plate Drop Rates

Equipping drop-rate-enhancing plug-in chips significantly boosts acquisition. Remember to avoid death to prevent permanent chip loss. Strategic use of these chips, combined with efficient farming locations, ensures a plentiful supply of Dented Plates for all your upgrade needs.
