Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Video games often reward the player with seemingly arbitrary prizes for various in-game actions, with no explanation as to who gives out the prizes or why. Given that there are no NPCs queuing for the chance to earn the same reward, these apparently can only earned by the player character. These rewards seldom have any justification other than encouraging the player to explore the gameworld and play with the toys provided therein. Compare Money Spider. Often involves a Collection Sidequest. |

Counter-Strike. You get money from killing other players. This would make sense as bounties paid between rounds except you get the money the instant you kill them and can even buy more stuff right there if the round's buy period hasn't ended yet. | |

The GTA games are rife with these. In San Andreas, you can earn money from merely performing tricks with a BMX bicycle or jumping around on a motorbike. Collecting all items in a city will earn you weapons which constantly respawn at your hideout, with no explanation as to where they come from. Bully has similar occurrences: beat a nerd's top video game score and a powerful weapon will periodically spawn into your room. |

Killing Floor, similarly, gives you dosh for killing Specimens, healing teammates, and surviving waves, though it's a little less blatant about it since periods when you can buy things and when you're killing Specimens are wholly separated. | |

Mass Effect has something like this: killing enemies will often earn you an immediate cash reward. While this can be justified as looting the corpses or collecting bounties, there is no justification for receiving money for killing Rachni the outside world does not even know exist. Killing the entirely robotic Geth will sometimes yield medi-gel despite the fact that they obviously have no use for it. Also, in a side-quest, you learn the location of a rogue black ops organization's main base by studying the body of a man they killed in one of their lesser facilities. Why it should bear any clues, rather than the base computer, for example, is left utterly unexplained. |
