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 efficiently farmed using several strategies.

Efficient Dented Plate Farming Locations

Dented Plates are commonly dropped by:

• Small Bipeds (all variants)
• Small Flyers (all variants)
• Small Spheres (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 efficient location is the pit where you first encounter Adam.

1. Fast Travel: Use the Desert: Housing Complex access point.
2. Navigate: Follow the path into the ruins and descend to the pit.
3. Endless Spawning: Enemies, primarily Small Bipeds, continuously respawn, providing a consistent supply. While their level may vary depending on your game progress, their Dented Plate drop rate is favorable. This area is also beneficial for Titanium Alloy farming.

Alternative Farming Location: Forest Kingdom

The Forest Kingdom offers an alternative, though less concentrated, farming area. Groups of spear-wielding Bipeds frequently drop Dented Plates. Exploring this area also provides opportunities to gather Beast Hide. Note that higher-level Bipeds yield a higher drop rate, so progressing through the game enhances your farming efficiency.

Boosting Drop Rates

Equipping drop-rate-enhancing plug-in chips significantly improves your yield. However, remember that chip loss upon death is permanent.

By utilizing these strategies, you can amass the Dented Plates necessary for extensive weapon upgrades in NieR: Automata.
