Fish for Success: Unveil NieR: Automata's Hidden Angling Secrets

NieR: Automata Fishing Guide: A Relaxing Way to Earn Big

NieR: Automata offers more than just intense battles. Fishing provides a peaceful alternative for acquiring rare items and quick cash without the resource drain of combat. This guide details how to fish and the rewards you can expect.

How to Fish in NieR: Automata

Fishing is simple and can be done in almost any body of water, regardless of depth. Just stand still in the water; a fishing prompt will appear above your character. Hold the prompt button to cast your Pod. Fishing uses a single button:

• PlayStation: O
• Xbox: B
• PC: Enter

After casting, wait for the Pod to be pulled underwater with a distinct "plop." Quickly press the reel-in button. Reaction time is crucial; a delayed response means losing your catch. You can cast repeatedly with no limitations. A helpful plug-in chip displays a fishing icon in the top right corner when fishing is possible.

Rewards for Fishing in NieR: Automata

Most fish and junk items acquired through fishing sell for a substantial amount, making it an efficient early-game money-making method, particularly for expanding plug-in chip capacity. Fishing in sewers offers a chance to obtain the Iron Pipe, a potentially powerful weapon.
