Gotham Knights: Nth Metal Farming Guide

🎙️ Voice is AI-generated. Inconsistencies may occur.

Gotham Knights is now out in full swing, which means players are jumping in and giving the latest adventure in the Batman universe a go. The title, which features four main characters, lets players tackle Gotham City in co-op with a friend, and even with randoms across the internet.

Alongside unlocking new suits, players will also find themselves having to gather clues and even farm for certain materials to craft different weapons and gear with. One of the most precious of these materials is Nth Metal. You'll need this metal to level up and craft high-level gear, so stockpiling it is going to be important.

Before you start farming for Nth Metal, it's actually highly recommended that you unlock fast traveling and activate multiple locations so you can get around Gotham City more reliably. Additionally, you're going to need to make sure you know how to switch characters, as some characters can fight certain enemies better.

When you're ready to start farming for Nth Metal, it's time to head out into Gotham City and look around. Pretty much every enemy in Gotham Knights drops Nth Metal; however, the drop chance is extremely low. As such, you'll want to focus on the more difficult enemies found in the game for a higher chance of getting Nth Metal on each kill.

Look for Veterans and Champions, as they'll have a higher chance of dropping better-tier loot. But, of course, Veteran and Champion enemies aren't easy to take down. As such, you'll need to bring your most powerful gear to the fight if you want to increase your chances of walking away. It's also highly recommended that you bring in a character that is good at dealing with single targets, as this will let you deal more damage to the enemy in a much quicker fashion.

Also, it is important in these more difficult fights to focus your attacks on the most dangerous enemies as much as possible. If you do end up with other enemies attacking you, clear them out as quickly as possible, but make sure to focus the brunt of your attacks on the Veteran or Champion that you're trying to take down.

Ultimately, farming for Nth Metal is all about putting in the time. Using the various fast travel points found on the map, you can jump around Gotham City easily. This will make it easier to track down Veterans and Champions out in the game world, which is handy when you're focused on farming for Nth Metal during patrols.
