11 Terrible Video Game Collectibles That Were A Waste Of Time

11. Nuclear Waste - GTA V

Many booting up GTA V cannot wait to cause mayhem by racking up a wanted level and conducting some high-stake heists. Bobbing along in a slow, clunky yellow submarine is not exactly the high-octane gameplay you signed up for.

Around San Andreas, the player can find 30 nuclear waste drum cans on the seabed. The only way to collect them and obtain the 'Waste Management' achievement is to make like The Beatles and buy yourself a yellow submarine.

There's no real challenge to this achievement, as the Trackify app will tell you exactly where each barrel is, and while you can make $690,000 profit, there are far more effective and more exciting ways to make some dollar.

According to the official wiki, collecting all 30 of these barrels will take you around two hours. Bear in mind that this estimate is for one sitting, doing nothing but following a red blip on the screen.

GTA is notorious for some pretty tedious collectibles (dare I mention GTA IV's pigeons?), but after a few minutes of mindless tracking, exiting the submarine to embrace a watery death sounds like a rather attractive option.
