Conquering

Plug-in chips are primarily acquired equally random loot drops from enemies, and tin can too be found on some NPC android corpses (these will have a white arrow higher up them similar a resources point, but not prove a proper noun or take a blackness aureola like a player character corpse) acquired as quest rewards or purchased from vendors. In general, a set range of chips will be dropped by enemies in a given area, such that certain areas can be farmed past the role player for a specific blazon of chip. For case, enemies in the Wood Zone typically drop Anti Chain Damage, Offensive Heal, Deadly Heal and Max HP Up fries. See the start link in the external links department for a chart of drop locations for specific chips.

Plug-in chip drops look similar to materials with a cylindrical glowing orange column effectually them, but do not have the same vivid glow at their base, the column of light has conspicuously visible bands, and up close a chip is visible in the middle of the cylinder.

Functionality

The system in NieR:Automata conceptualizes skills as swappable chipsets added to the YoRHa unit the histrion is controlling. The player can set up upwards three sets of chips either manually or having the game assign them automatically according to one of several presets. The chipsets are swapped on the pause menu, and only the equipped set has any result on gameplay.

Each chip uses a set amount of "storage" from a minimum of ane to a maximum of 31. Storage is a stat the player tin can upgrade from whatever merchant that sells Pod programs (e.g. the 1 by the medical bay in the Resistance Campsite). The storage available early in the game is mostly locked and greyed-out. Storage upgrades allow this expanse to be unlocked and the cap to be increased, maxing out at 128. Fries tin can be set down anywhere on the storage grid that the player feels like every bit long equally they do not overlap any other scrap. The "Optimize" command at the bottom of the chip equip menu will place all fries in society on the grid and eliminate whatever gaps, removing the need to practice this manually.

All chips aside from those in the "System" category, the "Auto" chips that just function on Easy mode and a few later ones have a set level from 0 to +8 as well, which dictates both the range of their storage cost and the degree of effect they have. Fries of these types are spawned with a random amount of storage usage within a fix range: "diamond" chips are those with the lowest possible stat within that range, and brandish a black diamond in their proper name to indicate their quality. Chips given as quest rewards will also randomize their storage cost: information technology is possible (if tedious) to reload a save prior to turning in a quest to "reroll" the quality of the advantage until a diamond-quality fleck of the desired type is acquired.

The effects of virtually chips will stack, merely simply up to a certain point: if fries that would produce a greater effect are equipped, the alert "effect limit exceeded" will appear, and the effect will be capped at the maximum allowed. Level viii fries always produce this maximum result on their own.

Since chips become progressively more demanding of storage cost every bit they grow in effect, the player can either choose to retain a broad range of lower-level fries for a spread of effects, or specialize with a small number of high-level chips.

Chips purchased from merchants will ever have the highest possible storage cost for their level, and and so are non worth ownership unless the player is absolutely drastic for a detail effect.

Fusion system

The player can combine or "fuse" chips at the same merchants mentioned above. This consists of combining ii fries of the same level (for a price) to class a chip ane level higher. Their storage price is worked out based on the costs of the two chips rounded out, with some additions. Even numbered chips circular upward and odd numbers and no-level fries down: so, for example, if the player combined a Counter +1 scrap of storage cost 5 (diamond) with 1 of storage toll vi, they would become a diamond-quality storage cost 6 Counter +2: if they did the same with that bit and a price 7 Counter +2, they would become a non-diamond Counter +iii with a storage cost of eight. In general, the idea is to find low-cost chips to fuse to produce superior effects.

The whole formula for the post-fusion cost of a chip, noting the previous point about when to circular upwardly or down, is: (Storage toll of chip 1 + Storage cost of chip 2 + Level of fries prior to fusion) ÷ ii, where level 0 and 1 chips both count their level as 1.

It should be noted that a very high-level chip can cease upwards having a greater storage cost than a number of depression-level fries that create the same upshot. This varies past the type of flake, with some similar Weapon Assault Upwardly being more than efficient at level 8 than any possible combination of lower-level fries due to their result ramping upwards enormously around level 5, while the nearly distinct example of the reverse is Combust, where two level 1 chips (minimum cost ten) duplicate the upshot of the level eight chip (minimum price 21).

The merchant in the Resistance Camp can but fuse chips up to level half-dozen, after which they will no longer appear on her card. To fuse chips at higher levels, the player must detect a friendly machine lifeform, known as the Canyon Auto, at the bottom of the valley in the Forest Zone and consummate the Lord of the Valley sidequest, after which the Coulee Machine volition get a merchant and allow fusing of level half-dozen and vii chips.

It should also be noted that fifty-fifty Very Hard way can be finished without the use of any level 8 chips, and so obsessing over getting them is not particularly necessary, and can be extremely time-consuming even for common fleck types. Considering each level of fleck requires twice the number of chips of the level earlier it and chips seldom drop in a higher place level 3 on routes A and B and level 4 on road C/D, getting a perfect level 8 chip requires an enormous amount of grinding: even using merely level 3 chips would require getting 32 of acceptable quality, while with level 0 chips, 256 would be required. The amount of coin required to fuse all these fries is also enormous.

Limit and disposal

Though this is stated nowhere in the game, the player can just comport 99 chips of all types at any given fourth dimension, after which whatever further chips will fail to be picked up in the same way as whatever other surplus inventory item, and volition be automatically discarded if given as mission rewards. In that location is no actual counter for how many fries the player is currently holding, and so regularly cleaning junk fries out of inventory is a practiced idea.

And so that the player is never placed in a position where they cannot option upwardly a chip they want, a "Destroy Chip" option is present in the skills menu. This allows a player to remove fries from their inventory to pick upwardly new ones, though unlike selling them at a vendor there is no bounty for doing this other than the freed-up inventory space. Chips that are destroyed cannot exist recovered.

As a temporary buff

If the player is continued to the network, corpses will appear in the game world indicating locations where characters of other players died while connected. Choosing to "call up" one of these corpses will provide a significant corporeality of healing, a small amount of money, and too temporarily apply the effects of 3 of the fries that role player had equipped when their character died, chosen at random and excluding Arrangement chips and the other chips that do not have levels. This buff still cannot exceed the issue limit.

Loss

In routes A and B, if the player character dies, all chips in their equipped chipset other than organization chips are taken from them, along with all experience gained since their final save, and placed on a corpse at or well-nigh the location where the decease occurred. The body will be shown with a blue marking on the minimap: it looks like a standard histrion character corpse, and will prove the histrion's name and decease message. In a fashion similar to the Nighttime Souls games, the player has a limited corporeality of time to render to their torso and use the "call back" or "repair" command (repairing still recovers the chips) earlier their fries are permanently lost, and they will also be lost if the grapheme dies again before the fries are retrieved.

The game does not, withal, drop an autosave on death, and so the thespian can just reload their last save and restore all of their chips if they feel so inclined.

After route B is finished, this mechanic ceases to apply: death instead requires reloading the player's last save, and chips are no longer lost under any circumstances (aside from using affiliate select to go back to the A or B route).

Attack

Assault chips impact offensive abilities. This does non include hacking abilities (run across Hacking).

• Weapon Attack Up increases the direct impairment of concrete attacks, including Shockwaves (see beneath). Maximum effect is +100% impairment.
• Down-Attack Up increases the damage of the mid-air strong assault from 2B and A2, and the final hitting of 2B's light mid-air combo. Maximum effect is +100% damage.
• Critical Upwards increases the per centum adventure of a critical strike from physical attacks (ranged attacks cannot crit). Critical strikes deal enormously greater damage than standard hits (in the region of five times more, though the harm is massively randomized), so fifty-fifty a small percentage heave results in an enormous increase to overall damage output. Maximum upshot is +xxx% crit chance. The consequence limit will non prevent a weapon with a Disquisitional+ ability from further increasing the overall crit chance.
• Ranged Assault Up increases the harm of Pod weapon fire and special attacks. Maximum outcome is +100% damage.
• Daze Wave adds a projectile "sword arc" which is fired on every physical assault and deals a ready per centum of the damage of that attack. The level of the Shock Wave flake increases the percent of damage dealt by the projectile, though the precise amount of impairment dealt is not displayed in the fleck's description. The Shock Wave however counts as a physical rather than a projectile attack, and so is affected by Weapon Assault Up, not Ranged Attack Up. Shock Waves cannot crusade critical hits, and a kill with a Stupor Wave does non count as a kill with the weapon for purposes of levelling up weapons with Automobile Make. Maximum result is ane,250% of the damage of the level 0 Shock Wave.
• Last Stand increases attack power by a set corporeality if the player character's HP drops beneath 25%. Maximum effect is +100% impairment.
• Counter adds the power to perform a counter-assail against any melee assail (including the electric spark attacks of Rampaging machines) by tilting the motility stick toward an enemy right as their attack connects, rather than by striking to striking the enemy's weapon equally they swing (which thespian characters can e'er exercise). If successful, the player can and so attack to perform a counter-hit in the same manner equally subsequently a perfect dodge. The level 0 chip does nothing else, while at higher levels a successful counter volition also deal a per centum of the damage the enemy's attack would have dealt back to it: this damage is non level-scaled, and so Counter can deal impairment even to enemies so over-levelled that all of a character'south actual attacks practice 0 damage to them. Maximum issue is 250% of incoming damage. Counter is handled mechanically by giving the actor character invincible frames to prevent damage, and so also protects against attacks by other enemies. Note that like Taunt Upward, Counter is either bugged or not described correctly as information technology does not function the way the effect limit says information technology does. Counter's effect does not stack, rather only the effect of the highest-rated Counter scrap the thespian has will exist present if more than one is equipped. Counter requires the attack to actually hitting, and so cannot be executed during the invincible menstruation of Anti-Chain Damage.
• Charge Assail increases the damage of the accuse (hold strong) assault for 2B and A2 when using big swords or spears as their heavy assail weapon, and the charge (hold light) attack for 9S. Maximum outcome is +400%.

The following chip has no level, and can only be purchased from Devola or Popola in one case the 2 become vendors.

• Continuous Combo provides a "contrivance offset" ability, meaning that dodging will not reset a combo blitheness that is in progress (ie, if the histrion does two strikes and then dodges, their adjacent strike will be the third strike of the blitheness).

Defence force

Defense force fries provide effects such as damage reduction and extra methods of healing.

• Melee Defence force increases defence against physical attacks. Maximum effect is -80% damage.
• Ranged Defence increases defense against projectile attacks. Maximum event is -80% damage.
• Anti-Chain Damage creates a period of invulnerability afterward being hit during which the thespian character cannot exist hit again, with the elapsing increasing as the bit levels up. Does not work when decision-making a Flight Unit or a hacked machine lifeform, and does non stop the continuous health drain from A2 using Berserk Manner. Maximum upshot is 6 seconds of invulnerability. Counter will not function during this invulnerable period.
• Resilience prevents attacks from knocking the player character downwards or staggering them if they accept more than a sure level of wellness: the required health decreases as the level of the chip increases. Maximum result has the event active if the character's health is greater than 5% of their max HP.
• Max HP Up increases the upper limit of the character'southward hitpoints. Equipping these chips volition require the employ of healing to fill the gauge, as information technology is not automatically filled. Maximum upshot is +100% HP.
• Offensive Heal heals the actor character for a pct of the damage they deal to enemies, with the percent increasing at higher levels. Does heal a Flight Unit of measurement, but has no issue if controlling a auto lifeform. Maximum upshot is healing 100% of harm dealt. The heal is rounded downward if it is a fraction, so early in the game a low-level chip may cause a abiding stream of zilch-HP heals when using Pod A'southward gun.
• Mortiferous Heal heals a percentage of the thespian grapheme'due south wellness every time they or a companion character with them kill an enemy, with the percent increasing at higher levels. Annotation that detonating an enemy via hacking volition non trigger this chip. Does heal a Flying Unit of measurement, but has no effect if controlling a automobile lifeform. Maximum effect is 100% HP healed per impale.
• Motorcar-Heal will start to automatically replenish the thespian character'south health after 6 seconds of taking no further damage.Cannot trigger while A2 is in Berserk Mode due to the abiding health loss. As the level increases the rate of replenishment is increased. Does heal a Flight Unit, but has no event if decision-making a machine lifeform. Maximum effect is 18% of health healed per 2d.
• Damage Absorb gives a percentage chance that a per centum of impairment received from an enemy assault will exist automatically healed: the percentage healed and the adventure of healing both increment as the level increases. Maximum effect is a 50% take a chance of healing 200% of damage received. Damage Absorb tin can however heal impairment that reduces the character to 0 HP, significant that it can allow the character to survive a striking on Very Hard mode.
• Reset provides a gamble that, on reaching 0 HP, the player character volition be revived with a certain percentage of their maximum HP restored. There is no animation for this, the character'southward HP bar volition just change to whatsoever Reset sets it to if the chip triggers. As the level increases, the pct hazard of revival increases and the corporeality of wellness restored increases. Similar Damage Blot, this scrap however works on Very Difficult, and allows the character to survive a hitting in that manner. Maximum effect is a l% take a chance of restoration with lxxx% of max HP.

Support

Support chips affect gameplay in other ways. Certain fries tin only be equipped in Easy manner.

• Fast Cooldown reduces the fourth dimension it takes for a Pod to consummate its cooldown time after using a special set on. Maximum effect reduces cooldown time by 50%. Also reduces the cooldown fourth dimension of a Flying Unit'due south missile barrage.
• Evade Range Up increases the altitude a thespian graphic symbol can evade (this requires the evade push to be held down rather than tapped). Notably, it besides increases the number of invincible ("I") frames in the evasion animation past the same percentage. Maximum result increases evade range and I-frames by 200%.
• Moving Speed Up increases the player graphic symbol's run and sprint speeds. Maximum issue increases movement speed by 20%.
• Drop Rate Upwardly increases the charge per unit at which enemies driblet items such as chips and materials. Information technology does not announced to accept any effect on the quality of what is dropped, simply the increased quantity will past its nature event in more drops of desirable items. Maximum event increases drib rate by 90%.
• EXP Gain Up increases the amount of feel gained from defeating enemies. Maximum effect doubles EXP gain.
• Vengeance provides a chance that a hit will too deal impairment to the enemy that delivered it. It is similar to the additional consequence of Counter +1 and higher, save that the damage to the player grapheme is not negated. Increased levels both meliorate the chance of dealing harm, and increase the percentage of damage dealt to the enemy. Maximum effect gives a l% chance of dealing 200% of the enemy assail's damage back to them.
• Overclock slows downward time for a period afterward a Perfect Evade, in a like fashion to past Platinum titles Bayonetta and Metallic Gear Ascent. Of note for time-based challenges is that it does non slow down the timer. Maximum event is five.5 seconds of ho-hum motion for a perfect dodge.
• Taunt Up increases the consequence of a taunt (repeatedly flash the Pod light every bit whatever grapheme, or hold calorie-free attack as A2), adding a percentage buff to damage dealt both to and by the taunted enemy. Note that like Counter, Taunt Upwards is either bewitched or not described correctly equally it does not function the style the effect limit says it does. Taunt Up'south effect does non stack, rather only the effect of the highest-rated Taunt Up scrap the histrion has will be present if more than than one is equipped. Maximum effect is +500% damage dealt and received.
• Auto-Employ Particular will automatically use a healing item if the player character's health is at thirty% or lower: at higher levels, information technology will also provide a percentage increment to the healing effect of that detail. Information technology will always apply the everyman-quality healing items in the role player's inventory, and there is a filibuster of around 1 second between taking the hitting and the chip activating, during which time it is possible to take another hit if no Anti-Concatenation Impairment fleck is equipped. The delay appears to be to allow other healing chips priority in triggering, specifically it seems to be so that if a unit of measurement self-destructs, Deadly Heals from enemies killed by the self-destruct volition be practical first to avoid wasting healing items The scrap will utilize as many healing items as are required to increment the character's wellness above xxx%. Will non trigger if A2 is in Berserk Mode until after the mode ends. 2B starts the introductory affiliate with an Auto-Apply Detail +1 bit equipped. Maximum issue increases effect of the healing item by 200%.

The post-obit Support chips exercise not have additional levels, and tin only be purchased from vendors. The actor starts with all of the Like shooting fish in a barrel way fries in their inventory.

• Auto-Collect Items draws in pickup items in the same manner that is normally done with coin, removing the demand to manually pick them upwards.
• Bullet Detonation causes a bullet that hits the histrion grapheme's weapon or the grapheme themselves to explode, clearing out any other projectiles in a large expanse around information technology. The event is the same as the "bullet rupture" effect on several weapons.
• Evasive System automatically slows downwards time when the role player grapheme is close to enemy projectiles.
• Item Scan displays all resource points that do not require the Pod Scanner to find, all items dropped by enemies, all of the non-role player android corpses that contain plug-in chips, and all chests on the minimap. Resource points and NPC android corpses with fries are blue dots, while chests are two blue rectangles set at right-angles to each other. Obviously, has no effect if HUD: Mini-map is not equipped.
• Auto-Attack, Auto-Fire, Auto-Evade, Auto-Plan and Auto-Weapon Switch are fries that only work in Piece of cake way, They are supposed to role as "training wheels" that tin be turned on and off using the lock-on button. Notably, they also work in the Hacking minigame, and can exist used to very easily beat the Arcade Challenge Mode since they brand information technology literally impossible to exist striking.

Hacking

Hacking chips provide additional effects to hacking, and therefore do nothing unless the thespian is controlling 9S. These chips are unlikely to drop before playing every bit 9S, though it is possible in some areas.

• Hijack Boost increases the level of whatsoever enemy that 9S is controlling remotely, including those in the Forest Colosseum DLC. Maximum effect increases the enemy's level past nine.
• Stun will immobilise a hacked foe (if they are not immediately killed) and emit a powerful nail. Every bit the level increases, both the size of the smash and the elapsing of the stun effect increases. Maximum is a v-second stun and a 25 meter boom.
• Combust will prepare fire to a hacked foe, dealing damage over time. Maximum upshot will have the enemy fire for 7 seconds.
• Heal Drops Upward increases the take a chance that an enemy defeated by hacking will driblet a health item on death. Maximum effect is a 100% chance of dropping healing items.

The following bit has no level, and can only be purchased from Devola or Popola once the two become vendors.

• Death Rattle has enemies killed by hacking emit death cries when they explode. It provides no actual bonus and is purely cosmetic.
