NieR:Automata BECOME AS GODS Edition

As mentioned in Tools of the Trade (15G), there are 39 weapons in the game that must be located and fully upgraded for this achievement. None of the weapons are missable, so you can get them in Chapter Select if missed on an initial playthrough. Luckily there is only one item that cannot be purchased with money, and that is beast hides found on animals in the City Ruins. However you will need a massive amount of money in order to buy all the materials needed as well as the upgrade costs themselves. One thing to keep in mind is that things get more expensive as the game progresses. Therefore, it is smart to buy items in route A chapters (as 2B) and sell items in route C chapters (as A2). This can even be abused in order to obtain infinite money through Thick Dictionaries. Here is a link to a money farming video by factor747:


For a list of all weapons and how to obtain them, I recommend using the Nier Automata Wiki [HERE]. If you need a location of each upgrade material, the Wiki page also details them all [HERE]. Once again all credit goes to the FextraLife Community. This achievement can also be purchased from the Achievement Shop for 100,000 G after completing the game.
