Where can I find the 5 newer tonics?

I was looking at the guides for the 360 but they only have the original 53.

Most of the new tonics can be bought at the Gatherer's Gardens spread throughout the city. Other's are earned through doing research by taking photos of the enemies in the city.

All the new tonics, Machine Buster, Machine Buster 2, Vending Expert, Vending Expert 2, and the last one I can't remember. But all of them are bought from Gatherer's Garden. Also to clarify, it's very rare to get a tonic from resucing Little sisters, you'll usually receive plasmids. Maybe once or twice you'll get a tonic like electric flesh 1, but even if you don't get it from the Little Sister it will be available at a Gatherer's Garden.

Don't worry about it. all the new tonics can be bought from the Gatherer's garden. You'll see them eventually. Just remember to buy your tonics as soon as you see 'em because some can only be bought at certain Gatherer's Gardens.

The new tonics are Machine Buster, Machine Buster 2, Vending Expert, Vending Expert 2, and Eve Saver. All of which are available for sale at Gatherer's Gardens locations in the later levels. To my knowledge they are not required for the Tonic Collector trophy and imo Eve Saver is the only only that is worth getting.
