NieR: Automata's world extends beyond the android-machine conflict, offering peaceful diversions like fishing. This optional activity can be easily bypassed, but it provides a low-risk method for acquiring rare items and quick cash. Here's a guide to fishing and its rewards.

How To Fish In NieR: Automata

Fishing is accessible in almost any body of water, even shallow areas. Standing still in water will display a fishing prompt above your character. Holding the button initiates the fishing sequence:

• O (PlayStation)
• B (Xbox)
• Enter (PC)

After casting, wait for the pod to be fully submerged with an audible "plop." Quickly press the reel-in button; otherwise, the fish escapes. You can cast repeatedly without limitations. A plug-in chip can be acquired to display a fishing icon when near fishable waters.

Rewards For Fishing In NieR: Automata

Most fish and junk items obtained through fishing are valuable commodities. This presents a safe and efficient early-game method for accumulating funds, particularly useful for upgrading plug-in chip capacity. Fishing in sewers offers a chance to acquire the Iron Pipe, a potentially powerful weapon.
