Need for Speed Payback has 130 Collectible Locations (100 Gambler Chips, 30 Billboards), 145 Activities (30 Jumps, 45 Speed Traps, 40 Speed Runs, 30 Drift Zones), and 20 Roaming Racers.

All In – Collect all of the Gambler’s Chips
Active Lifestyle – Get a 3 Star Rating on all the Activities in the game
Who Runs this Town? – Win all the events and beat all the Roaming Racers in the gameAll collectibles are available from the start. You can get the gambler’s chips & billboards as soon as you reach the first garage early in the story. For the activities you will need fully tuned cars. The Koenigsegg Regera (Drag Version with All 6 Carbon Parts) is recommended for anything speed & jump related. It’s by far the fastest car in the game, especially the drag version with its insane nitrous boost. The drift challenges are the most tricky and the choice of car is subjective. I can recommend the BMW M4 GTS (fully tuned to level 399), others had success with a fully tuned Nissan 240ZG Derelict Car. Even offroad cars can work really well for the offroad drifts. What you can do is save up a lot of money and trade-in cards, then back up your save game (PS4 Settings > Application Saved Data Management). Now test different drift car setups and copy back the save game if you’re not happy with the final build. This way you can just keep buying and testing cars infinitely until you find the right one for you. Small cars work best, with big cars (such as the Lamborghinis) it’s too easy to crash into oncoming traffic. Getting 3 stars in everything is a challenge but not too difficult with practice and fully tuned cars.
Collectible Maps
The collectibles are very easy to locate. In fact, they show up on the map once you get close to them. Below are high-resolution maps with all collectible locations. Click on the images to view the full size version. Zoom in to see where exactly the marker needle points, drive there and you should have no issue finding all the items (as you approach, check the HUD for the nearby collectibles). Activities are mostly found at roads so you’ll find 90% of them by just playing through the story.
The roaming racers don’t have fixed locations. Instead, they will be driving around predefined routes. Just wait on their route and they will have to drive past you eventually. Once you have seen them they will always show up on the map (just like other collectibles).

This is everything to collect in NFS Payback 🙂
You are missing one Jump on the map. It’s a bit south of the Solar Array.
Indeed. For some reason it didn’t register on my map. It has been updated now, all fixed. Thanks for reporting!
(I double checked all locations again and they are definitely all there on the collectible maps now)
I can only count 29 jumps, iv counted over and over again, I’m missing 1 and its really bugging me.
There was one jump where the icons were pretty much overlapping at the drag strip/airport took me ages to realise lol
You are missing a Billboard aswell, don’t know where it is tho. Been looking for a couple of hours now..
Nevermind… One is hidden behind a coin collectible in the top right corner.
I have 29/30, and I have all the ones marked on this map. So there must be one missing.
Theres only 18 drift zones on my map… Im missing 12. Any suggestions?
Did you drive to all of their locations marked on my collectible map?
They will only start to show in your game once you’ve been at their starting point.
I still only count 29 jumps, the picture is a bit blurry so maybe I somehow missed one.
Ok so “one with the wind” is so close to “air crazy” that on your picture you can’t see it lol.
Do I need to get a star in every activity or I just need to discover it? Thanks man.
You need to get 3 stars in every activity.
Any in game unlocks for the collectables?
You need a few for unlocking visual tuning parts. But there’s nothing special for getting all of them (just some XP & money).
I have done every speed trap on your map but it says I’vegot 44/45. Please help, it’s driving me mad
I see 45 on my collectible map.
So either you’re missing one or something glitched for you.
The easiest way to track them is to download the image and open it in microsoft paint or some image software. Then put colored dots on the ones you have found or write numbers on them. I recounted them twice this way and came up with 45 each time. There’s a lot on the map so it’s easy to lose track.
please help me i did all the 30 drift zones on 3 stars but my journal says that im still missing a drift zone ( 3 stars ) and i checked the map multiple times and its all there but im still stuck on 29 !!
is it glitched ?? and what should i do ?? 🙁
Hey so I can’t beat all the roaming bosses since one of the roaming racers is not on my map it’s from the hazard company ( Cletus ). What should I do?
Yeh same. Stuck on 29 drifts theres one missing. Scanned the map over 4times its not there
I count 30 on my collectible map. Use Microsoft paint or some image software and put colored dots on the ones you’ve found (or cross them out, however you want to mark them).
Hey, is there any way to check which ones you don’t have 1 star on? I missed 2 speed traps (43/45) found one without any stars and got 3 stars first try. Only registered 3 stars, not one star.. ?
I’m still missing 3 jumps. been threw the hole game cant find them. still missing 25 gamblers chips too. your map, I’ve gone to the locations nothing. any ideas?
Got 99 coins, and you got 99 coins. Where is the last one? Driving me craaaaaazy :p
Naaah, missed one.. sorry :p
I’m missing one too. I’ve checked the map 2-3 times, without success.
Nvm, missed a pretty obvious one, actually.
So where was the chip because I can’t find it on this map
Can’t find one more Bildbord, even looked around the map and yours! Any tips?
I also can’t find the last one I feel like I’ve drivin around the map like I million times and can’t find on your map either
Never mind I found it it’s next to the coins by going crazy speed run it’s under like all four of them
I can’t find one of the roaming racers I have done all the rest but cleatus is nowhere to be found for the past month.. any suggestions to why??
Are the drift zones only available after completing a certain part of the story? I have just done the highway heist and when I drive to the drift zones locations o the map they do not show up??
Is there a map in this game that you can open up to see the cars you have to find?
I went and completed all the drift zones on my map and it still says I have 19/30 complete and I averaged all the stars for every one of them how do I get all 30 complete?
Really struggling with drift zones. No matter how much I upgrade my car & every setting I use I can’t get the 3 stars. Any tips welcome. Anyone who would like to complete them for me also welcome. Literally the only thing stopping me getting the platinum.
I can’t find one of the gambler’s chip!!!
It’s 99/100 and so annoying!
Any tips on where the last one is???
dude i’m having the same exact issue it’s driving me crazy
What happens when u get all coins n billboards besides getting a trophy
How to collect the billboard?
How can I see on the map all the races I did? The only ones that have green checks (✔️) on them are the activities? Everything else I accomplished still doesn’t have checks next to them it’s annoying having to keep track of what I did in game… cheers…
There is one chips hide under double or nothing story mission in the first garage of the game
