How to unlock the Better Than Money achievement in Borderlands 2 - Definitive Guide

This solution is only for those that have imported a save and have the achievement in the 360 version. Fast travel to Sanctuary and purchase an upgrade from the black market once and it should unlock.

For those just starting on the One: collect eridium in chests around the game and use it to buy upgrades. The black market is located near Moxxi's bar.

this is very odd... its almost like my saves didnt carry over from borderlands 2 correctly as far as easily getting achievements.. .but i seemed to get one of everything in the presequel and unlocked that... dunno gonna wait and see if this update clears up the inconsistency as far as getting these achievements goes, because i did get some on borderlands 2 just by loading up my game or getting 1 of something but not all, but long story short i can vouch for this being authentic at least partially as a solution

To unlock the Better Than Money trophy in Borderlands 2, you will need to purchase five items from the black market.

In order to purchase items from the black market, you will need to complete the steps below (taken from the Xbox 360 guide by AHGreg):

1) Find Sanctuary - Story Mission
2) Complete the first mission given by Scooter
3) Then after that Crazy Earl should start appearing next to Mad Moxxi's place
4) To buy upgrades you must pay in Eridian (purple crystals)
5) To find Eridian crystals you can either get them from completing missions, scavenging them from enemies or looting them out of boxes/crates/lockers/etc

This chievo is to easy, you need to gather 20 Eridiums, later you must be go to the black market at Sanctuary (it is next to Moxxi Bar) and buy one of each item on the store and the chievo will pop up.

Sorry for my english.

A quest will send you to the black market early into your first visit to Sanctuary, and you've probably collected more than 15 Eridium bars by then. You'll need a minimum of 20 to get this achievement. It won't be hard, but you'll probably go out and do a couple of side missions, then return with dozens more.

The black market can be located on the east side Sanctuary (Hostel). The market is a place where you can purchase SDU upgrades. These SDU's will give you increased clips for all guns or either more spaces for your personal equipment bank.

To buy any of the SDU's you'll first need some Eridium which can be found via loot drops, treasure chests or completing missions. You'll now need a total of 20 Eridium to purchase 5 different things as the initial lot all cost 4 Eridium each. Below is a list of all the items for sale.

  • Backpack SDU
  • Bank SDU
  • Assault Rifle SDU
  • Grenade SDU
  • Pistol SDU
  • Launcher SDU
  • Shotgun SDU
  • SMG SDU
  • Sniper SDU

No need to increase ammo! This can be any modification of anything. For example, expanding a backpack, I recommend it to everyone. Very useful thing

The items are expansions for patronage, backpack and weapon crate. Each item after purchase moves to the next “level”. The first level of any item on the black market will cost you 4 bars. That is, having accumulated at least 20 (by the end of the story, when I started knocking out trophies, I had more than 200), feel free to go to the store.
The store is marked with a dollar sign and is located in the door in one of the first houses on the left as you exit Moxie past the One-Armed Bandits. By the way, he has a purple lamp attached.

PS: Each subsequent purchase is more expensive: 4-8-12-16-20-50-100-200...

To get this achievement you need to buy 5 items from the black market. The black market is located in the Sanctuary location (you don’t have to look for it specifically, since there will be a task in which you will need to buy any item in this market). Purchases in the store are made for a special currency - Eridium . To buy 5 things you will need at least 20 Eridium .
