7 Video Game Achievements You Had To PAY For

So as you can see from this list, we've covered multiple ways in which players have had to pay through the nose with either real-world or in-game currency to unlock achievements, but now we're going to kick things up a gear, as Nier Automata does indeed let you purchase achievements, but does so in a manner that's utterly unique.

After completing the game three times, you'll unlock a new NPC who will be listed as "Strange Resistance Woman" who while sounding like a B-List superhero, offers up A-Tier banter in the form of a special selection of wares.

Turns out, these items aren't ones to buff your stats or deck out your arsenal, but are straight-up achievements from the game!

That's right, for in-game currency, you can purchase achievements from this vendor, cutting replay and grind time in half. Admittedly they cost an absolute arm and a leg, but when you're an Android with detachable limbs, when has this ever bothered you?

So if you fancy grinding out some cash in order to bypass a particularly rough-looking achievement, Nier Automata has got you covered.
