I can confirm that this achievement is GLITCHED in the same way the xbox360 one is.

I tried to find out what exactly causes the glitch to happen, aparently something you do in game resets the achievement tracker, causing it to ignore the upgrades already bought.

The solution to 100% unlock this is still the same as in the xbox360 version.

Play the game as you normally would, but DO NOT buy any power upgrades untill you are at lvl50, with 1065 clusters and after you finished the "Kinzie's Gambit" mission.

Before purchasing the upgrades make a hard save, just in case.

This is very doable on casual difficulty, since it is almost impossible to die, it's a little annoying, but it beats having to play the whole game again, as I had to do.

Also, the upgrades related to challenges and those related to loyalty missions do not count toward the achievement, since you do not have to purchase them.

If you have any question or want to add anything just say so in the comments.

2020 and it’s still glitched. It just screwed me out of the achievement on PC. Now 2 out of 3 consoles I’ve played it on have screwed me.

Got hit by this too. Reloaded an older save, around when the random gangs start appearing again (before Johnny and the Death From Above are unlocked), but I was still stuck at about 98% even after playing through the storyline and purchasing the rest of the upgrades once everything was available.

Currently playing a new playthrough. Not upgrading a single power, which is a pain because run and jump have some good quality of life improvements when upgrading. Good news is that the tracker updated with my new save, dropping back down to 0% to match my current status. So I can work on getting to the late-game stage where Kinzie gives the last power and its upgrade, get the 1K-ish clusters for the upgrades, and see what upgrades count or don't count for the achievement. In particular, whether any % is gained by getting the challenge-based upgrades (mostly the Rifts) or the quest-based ones. Given that CID gives a story-based elemental change (Fire Blast), I'm guessing the free ones don't count; only the ones that actually cost clusters will. But I'll investigate whether any unlocks are necessary.

I've finally managed to unlock this achievement, and for me it was purely random when the glitch occurred while purchasing power ups.

I missed it on my first playthrough, so I did the preparation thing for my second playthrough (I needed to play another 10 hours for the 30 hour achievement anyway). I waited until I was level 50, had collected enough clusters and completed Kinzie's Gambit. I made a manual save (several actually, just to be sure).

I then ran through and bought all of the upgrades and still ended up with 98% at the end.

I went back to the save and purchased the upgrades one at a time and checked the progress bar in the achievement tracker, it failed to advance when buying "Sprint Speed 2". So I returned to the save and tried again, this time it failed to advance when buying "Jump Height 2".

So I tried the laborious process of manually saving after every few upgrades, then reverting to that save if any of the powers failed to advance the progress bar. I needed to to this 5 or 6 times before I finally managed to purchase all of the powers and reach 100%.

Based on those limited observations, I suspect that it's not a particular problem with the current game progress, etc and so it's probably safe to purchase the skills as you play normally. But ensure that you do the following when purchasing powers:

* Make a manual save
* Make a note of the current achievement progress percentage
* Purchase a single power upgrade
* Check the achievement progress again, if the percentage changed then you're fine. If not, revert to the manual save and try again.

This solution is to ID what power upgrades are needed for purchase to unlock this achievement. Specifically, there are 55 distinct power upgrades you will need to buy spread among 8 different powers. For unknown reasons, this can glitch on people, with some power not tracking as being purchased or tracked despite having everything owned.

Like some others, I got burned by this. At the end, I bought everything, but it didn't unlock. I had a few backup save files, with the earliest around the time that the SR3 gangs start invading your instance of the simulation, but even after playing through the storyline up to the point that you get the final Dash Shield upgrades from Kinzie, I was still stuck at 98%.

I'm not sure what the trigger that causes the glitch is, but it took about a dozen hours starting from a new game to get the quests, the XP levels, and the clusters to buy everything. I happened to be short about 20-30 clusters when I went on my buying spree, so I had to go hunt a few more down before purchasing the last one and unlocking this achievement. Also, when I started a new game, the achievement tracker dropped back down to 0%, which was very helpful in tracking each purchase.

In general, I tried to avoid side quests that gave upgrades to your super powers. Certain challenges would unlock some upgrades, but in general you don't spend additional clusters on those, and the tracker only updated when I actually paid clusters for an unlockable ability.

With all that in mind, there are 8 powers and a total of 55 upgrades to purchase. With 55 upgrades, each purchase should increase the tracker by about 1.818%, rounded down. The upgrades are listed, in the order I purchased them, along with the percentage that the achievement tracker updated to after purchasing.

The percentages helped massively once I realised this was a glitchy achievement. I was at 90% and I realised I was still in line to get it which was nice.
