Overview
This NieR: Automata achievement guide is here to help you with all the tips and strategies you need to earn 100% of the game’s achievements. Getting 100% in this game is nowhere as difficult as the Nier: Gestalt/Replicant one, but it still requires some time commitment. Also SPOILERS obviously in this guide so be careful as you proceed xDThis guide also contains information on how to get all weapons, materials, pods, chips, archives, unit data, fishing, guides for side quests, endings, and of course the most important information ever: YoRHa 2B’s Measurements!Also thanks Khilik for the help with the editing and adding additional information!

Introduction
Welcome to our humble NieR: Automata Achievement Guide! Here are some tips and information on best way to get all the achievements easily and estimate time of completion.
* Time to 100%: 30+ hours (on Easy and if you rush it by using achievement shop)
* 50 to 70+ hours to 100% if not using the shop & playing normal or higher difficulty
* 100% Achievement Difficulty: 5/10 (mostly skippable effort but needs 3 playthroughs)
* Playthroughs required: 3
* Missable Achievements: None
Most Efficient way to Get all achievements 100% =
First Playthrough: Do only necessary sidequests for item unlocks and things that are easy to find, until you unlock City Ruins: Cave and complete Alien Report. This opens up teleporting around the world, making side quests much easier. Most of your sidequests will vanish once you arrive at the Flooded City during Missile Supply Mission, so if you want to finish stuff do it before that.
Second Playthrough: Focus on obtaining weapons and quests available only to 9S, such as ones in Locked Chests and such
Third Playthrough: You’ll swap between 9S and A2 – giving you option to grind the Hacking and Berserker achievements. Pay attention to the Endings to get A2 and then 9S and see the “final” credits.
Cleanup: You will now have chapter select and can go everywhere and complete every sidequest you may have missed, or get additional endings, do fishing, etc.
Optional / Cheat / Shortcut: You can unlock an “achievement shop” that allows you to buy achievements with in-game currency. This is only available after completing your third playthrough. Here’s how to unlock the achievement shop =

Mount the Rail Cannon Unit and fire into the machine’s mouth to weaken it. The machine will emit a powerful EMP that almost wipes you out, but Pascal will show up just in time to rescue you and fill you in the details: the enormous machine was constructed centuries ago to detroy Androids, but went berserk and machines have lost control over it.

Each enemy type may have several variances so follow the list closely.
Chip Collector
80% of all plug-in chips collected.
Plug-in Chips are Skills you can customize in Nier: Automata.
By using a Plug-in Chip, you can freely customize abilities to change your play style the way you like it, such as emphasizing more on attack power or defense, and so on.
These Chips can be purchased, but they’re also acquired from enemy drops.
Each Chip is set with a capacity, but you’re able to equip several Plug-in Chips as long as there’s enough space within a character’s storage. You can view your Storage Used in the top right of the Skills Menu screen.
Chips bought from NPCs will have max capacity cost; enemies have a chance to drop Chips with the lowest capacity cost (these will be marked with ♦).
Fusing Chips will scale to the highest capacity cost of the two + 1 (unless fusing two ♦, which will scale to the lowest capacity cost available for that level).
There are Chips that display HP meters, damage numbers, and other types of HUD info Chips. So for example, you could customize your characters by having less information available via Chips and focus more on customizations that allow you to attack better.
Combination effects are capped at 100%, except for Item Drop which is capped at 90%.
You begin that game with a certain amount of storage. To increase your capacity, you can do so at the Bunker. Take the elevator to the terminal to find a merchant.
When you die you lose all the chips you had installed. In order to recover them you must make your way back to your prior body. Failing to do so results in losing the chips.
Plug-in Chips can be upgraded to a max of +6 normally and up to +8 at Canyon Machine, after completing her quest.
The following are the chips in the game:
1. System Chips = http://nierautomata.wiki.fextralife.com/System+Chips
