Obtaining Filler Metal in NieR: Automata: A Comprehensive Guide
Acquiring certain upgrade materials in NieR: Automata proves more challenging than others. Many drop from enemies, but some, like Filler Metal, are randomly spawned throughout the game world. This inherent randomness makes farming these items a test of patience.
This guide details two methods for obtaining Filler Metal: scavenging and purchasing.
Where to Find Filler Metal
Filler Metal is a rare drop found in specific item spawn locations deep within the Factory area. The exact locations vary with each playthrough, and its spawn rate is considerably lower than other items. Accessing the Factory: Hangar fast travel point (unlocked after a main story progression) is recommended as a starting point for efficient searching. Note that you may need to unlock this access point again depending on your story progress.
While movement speed boosts can help, reliably farming Filler Metal remains difficult. The most effective strategy involves thoroughly exploring the Factory, collecting all naturally spawned items. However, purchasing remains the more straightforward, albeit costly, option.
Where to Buy Filler Metal
Filler Metal is exclusively sold by the Shopkeeper Machine in the Amusement Park. However, this becomes available only after completing all three playthroughs and achieving one of the final endings. Using Chapter Select to revisit the Shopkeeper after completing the game will unlock their updated inventory, including Filler Metal at a price of 11,250 G per unit.
Despite the high cost, purchasing Filler Metal offers a far more reliable method than repeated Factory runs. The Pod upgrades requiring Filler Metal are crucial for progressing through the game, as enemies scale in level, making these upgrades essential.
