Collections

Collections are groups of 7 themed loot items. Mostly every job tier has at least one collection. The Underboss and Boss job tiers in New York, along with the El Cacique tier in Cuba, are the only job tiers with no associated collections. Specific collections can be obtained by completing the jobs in that collection's job tier, trades with other players, the Daily Chance, Money Laundering, or the Free Gift program. If the player collects all 7 items of a collection, it can be vaulted. This will use up 1 of each of the 7 items and grant the player a bonus to their Health, Energy, Stamina, Attack, or Defense. The Daily Chance collection grants +10% better chance of loot drops during jobs. Only 5 of each item in a collection can be carried at a time - at this point, that item can no longer be looted until the collection is vaulted.

Once a vault has been carried out on a collection and all 7 items are found again, it can be revaulted, rewarding the player with a specific Boost. Revaulting can be done as many times as there are complete collections available. The only collection that cannot be revaulted for a boost is the Daily Chance collection.

It is entirely possible and probable to master a job tier and still not have completed a collection in that tier, prompting trades with other players and redoing jobs in finished tiers in hopes of looting the missing item. It is also not uncommon to have all but the same one in every collection (ie: the 6th item). The one item that is the rarest to find in each collection seems to vary from player to player.

The Collector, Curator, No Razors Needed, Master Collector, and Back in the U.S.S.R. achievements can be gained by completing and vaulting various collections.

The total bonus in stats that can be obtained by vaulting every current collection is 35 Health, 43 Energy, 10 Stamina, 17 Attack, 26 Defense, and +10% job loot drops.

Money Laundering Collection
This collection was added on November 13, 2009. It does not need to be completed for the Master Collector achievement.

Money Laundering is a new feature whereby when you are doing a job, there's a chance of hitting a bigger payday than usual. When this happens, if you can get your friends to help you launder this big payday, you can keep the cash and gain additional experience points. Your friends in turn will also benefit by getting a cut of your stash and a chance for a special collection item. However, there is a limit to how many times you can launder money before the feds get suspicious, and you need to lay low before you can launder more. There is current seems to be no limit for how many people can help you launder your money.

This screenshot shows 52 people help up with the laundering of money
