Mafia 2: Definitive Edition - Playboy Magazine Locations
Af The Logman og 1 partnere
After not being able to find a dedicated, English written guide for the Playboy Magazine locations on Steam, I decided to research where they were hidden by replaying the game, watching a few Youtube walk-throughs and reading other guides found on the internet.
This guide should save you from Alt+Tabbing or having to save a time stamp on those long winded Youtube videos.
Spoilers will be present, you have been warned.

Introduction
This guide will be split into sections. Simple directions will be provided so it'll be easy to follow and will help you keep track of how many Playboy Magazines there are in each Chapter of the story.

There's a grand total of 50 Playboy Magazines to find through 14 Chapters of the story. If you miss any, you can replay the specific chapters to pick up the missing magazines.
Finding every Magazine will grant you the Ladies Man Achievement, which will be great for all you achievement hunters. If nothing else, it gives you something nice to look at.

Magazines listed in this guide will be numbered slightly differently than the in-game counterparts due to the players chronological encounters. I.e, Magazine #2 in this guide will actually be magazine #3 in-game.

Note: There are no Playboy Magazines to be found in chapter 1.

Thanks for the guide, I just finished collecting all the magazines following it. If you are still looking for a contributor I took screenshots of all the mag locations in game and on the map they are numbered the same as you have numbered them in your guide.
