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 commonly needed resource, can be efficiently farmed using several strategies.

Optimal Farming Locations for Dented Plates

Dented Plates are frequently 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 most effective location is the arena where Adam is first encountered in the main storyline.

• Fast travel to the Desert: Housing Complex access point.
• Proceed deeper into the ruins and descend to the pit.
• Continuously eliminate the respawning machines. Numerous Small Bipeds will consistently appear, providing a reliable source of Dented Plates. Even lower-level enemies here offer a decent drop rate. This area is also advantageous for Titanium Alloy farming.

Alternative Farming Locations

For players preferring varied locations, the Forest Kingdom offers numerous groups of spear-wielding Bipeds. These groups usually drop at least one Dented Plate. Exploring the Forest Kingdom also provides opportunities to gather Beast Hide.

Higher-level Bipeds yield a greater chance of dropping Dented Plates. Progressing through the game increases both the number and level of Bipeds encountered, improving your chances.

Additional Tips

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