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. Unlike combat, fishing doesn't require resource expenditure.

Here's a guide to fishing in NieR: Automata and utilizing your catches.

How To Fish In NieR: Automata

Fishing is possible in almost any body of water, even shallow areas. Stand still in the water; a fishing prompt will appear above your character. Holding the button initiates the fishing process. Fishing involves a single action: casting and reeling.

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

After casting, wait for the pod to be fully submerged with a distinct "plop" sound before quickly pressing the reel-in button. A quick reaction is crucial; otherwise, the fish escapes. You can cast repeatedly without limitations.

A plug-in chip is available to display a fishing icon in the top-right corner when fishing is possible.

Rewards For Fishing In NieR: Automata

Most fish and junk items obtained through fishing are valuable commodities. Selling them is a safe and efficient way to earn money early in the game, particularly for expanding plug-in chip capacity. Sewers offer a chance to acquire the Iron Pipe, a potentially powerful weapon, depending on your luck.
