What Collectibles Are Used For

Collectibles in Mafia II serve multiple purposes, from unlocking achievements to providing valuable rewards that enhance your gameplay experience.

• Achievement completion for dedicated collectors seeking 100% game completion
• Unlocking concept art and behind-the-scenes content in the game’s extras menu
• Earning money from selling certain collectible items to vendors
• Gaining deeper insight into Empire Bay’s history and culture through period-appropriate items
• Accessing exclusive content that adds context to the game’s storyline and setting

Collectibles Types

Empire Bay contains two distinct types of collectibles, each offering different rewards and requiring different search strategies to locate effectively.

Wanted Poster

These authentic-looking crime notices are posted on walls, telephone poles, and bulletin boards throughout Empire Bay’s various districts. Wanted Posters provide insight into the criminal underworld of the 1940s and 1950s, featuring detailed descriptions of notorious criminals and their alleged crimes. Finding these posters rewards you with money and contributes to your overall completion percentage.

Playboy Magazine

Period-appropriate Playboy magazines are hidden in apartments, shops, and various indoor locations across the city. These collectibles reflect the era’s culture and provide substantial monetary rewards when collected. Each magazine features authentic covers from the time period, adding historical authenticity to your collection efforts.

How to Use the Map Efficiently

Strategic planning prevents backtracking and ensures you collect items during natural story progression whenever possible.

• Check indoor locations thoroughly during story missions since many magazines are hidden in buildings you’ll only visit once
• Focus on one district at a time to maintain organization and avoid missing nearby items
• Use fast-travel points strategically to access different neighborhoods without excessive driving time
• Search alleyways and side streets where wanted posters are commonly displayed on walls and poles
• Enter every accessible building during free roam periods to locate hidden magazines
• Combine collectible hunting with other objectives like clothing stores or gun shops for maximum efficiency

Tips for Collectibles Hunting

• Check behind furniture and in corners of rooms where magazines might be partially hidden
• Use the in-game camera to help spot collectibles from different angles in cluttered environments
• Save your progress frequently during collection runs to avoid losing progress from unexpected events
• Return to story locations during free roam since some areas become inaccessible after certain chapters
