How to unlock the Collector achievement in Riptide GP2 - Definitive Guide

There are 9 total jets you can purchase so you actually do not need to buy them all. I would highly suggest completely skipping the last jet (the Scorpion) because the jet directly before it (the Manta) is actually the highest rated jet in the game once fully upgraded. Here is a list of all the jets in the game and their cost to unlock...

Stingray - free / starting jet
Photon - $25,000
Striker - $35,000
Fireball - $48,000
Typhoon - $62,000
Lancer - $100,000
Shockwave - $170,000
Hamerhead - $240,000
Manta - $300,000
Scorpion - $375,000

The final tier of races in the game has the potential to earn up to $65,000 per first place win. Therefore, this achievement is much easier to earn after you have completed the career mode and unlocked all the tracks in the end.

This trophy will come as soon as you buy your eighth jet. The game starts you with a basic ride, and this will not count towards the trophy. You will need to purchase 8 more jets. Along the way you will earn My First Hydro Jet and Enthusiast, after buying your first and fourth jets, respectively.

I would recommend sticking with your entry ride until you have enough money for Fireball ($35000), then stick with that until you can buy Manta ($300000). This will be your main ride for the second half of the game.

The 3 star rewards for the later Events are quite generous ($20-40k is common), and you can replay Events and earn the same amount repeatedly.

Even so, you likely will not need to farm money, although I would recommend fully upgrading Manta before purchasing the additional jets for this trophy.

All told, you will need about 1 million to purchase the 8 jets for this trophy.

From the main menu, select the name of your hydro jet in the top left (i.e Stingray) and press . This brings you to the garage. You will need to buy an additional 4 hydro jets on top of the ones you bought for "Buy 4 Hydro Jets."

For the sake of ease, save buying most of these til after you have the Manta and have it fully upgraded. This way you can funnel all your winnings to getting through the events and 3 starring them instead of constantly upgrading bad/mediocre hydro jets over time.

If you need money, repeat the highest paying event you can nab 1st in almost every time. So that you can maximize payout vs time.
