Uncover Nier: Automata's Dented Plate Locations

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

Optimal Farming Spot: Adam's Arena

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 and descend to the pit.
3. Continuously spawning machines, primarily basic Bipeds, provide a consistent Dented Plate source. This area also yields Titanium Alloy.

Alternative Farming Location: Forest Kingdom

The Forest Kingdom offers another option. Groups of Bipeds, often forming spear-wielding phalanxes, frequently drop Dented Plates. This area also provides opportunities to gather Beast Hide. Higher-level Bipeds yield a greater chance of dropping Dented Plates, making story progression beneficial.

Boosting Drop Rates

Equipping drop-rate increasing plug-in chips significantly improves your yield. Remember to avoid death to prevent permanent chip loss. Careful planning and strategic farming will ensure you have the resources needed for maximum weapon upgrades.
