If you’re diving back into the gritty streets of Empire Bay (or playing the Definitive Edition for the first time), you know that Mafia 2 is about more than just wiseguys, whiskey, and betrayals. For completionists, the game offers two notoriously tricky sets of collectibles: 50 Wanted Posters and 50 Playboy Magazines.

Do not worry. This guide covers the exact location of every single collectible, sorted by chapter, with navigation tips to ensure you get 100% completion.
A Critical Note on Missables: Chapters 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 10, 11, and 14 contain collectibles that are permanently missable if you progress past a certain doorway or trigger a cutscene. Read the chapter notes carefully.
