Just drive along every road and you’ll unlock their locations on the map. The collectibles get marked on the map when you go near them. The main task for the platinum trophy is finding all collectibles and reaching REP Level 50. The performance upgrades in this game are done through randomized cards that you earn for each win or by buying them at Tune-Up shops. You have 5 racing disciplines, each one requiring different cars (Racer, Drifter, Runner, Offroad, Drag). Welcome to the Need for Speed Payback Trophy Guide!
