Locating Filler Metal in NieR: Automata

This guide details how to obtain the rare upgrade material, Filler Metal, in NieR: Automata. Two primary methods exist: scavenging in the Factory or purchasing from a vendor.

Finding Filler Metal in the Factory:

Filler Metal is a rare drop found in specific item spawn locations deep within the Factory area. The exact spawn points are randomized, making farming it unreliable. The Factory: Hanger access point provides a convenient starting point for searching. Note that accessing this point may require story progression. While movement speed enhancements can aid the search, consistent farming remains improbable. The most efficient approach is simply to explore the factory thoroughly, collecting all naturally spawning items.

Purchasing Filler Metal:

Filler Metal can be purchased from the Shopkeeper Machine in the Amusement Park. However, this option only unlocks after completing all three playthroughs and achieving one of the final endings. After completing the game, accessing this vendor via Chapter Select will reveal Filler Metal in their inventory, priced at 11,250 G each. This method, while expensive, offers a far more reliable supply than random scavenging in the Factory. Acquiring these upgrades is crucial for maximizing character capabilities and overcoming late-game challenges.
