Properties and Property Management

40.) The safest properties to own are lots of all kinds and Mafia Mike’s. Properties and Mike’s cannot be robbed.

41.) If you own properties other than those mentioned above keep them well insured.

42.) Make money with Mafia Mike’s. You can own one for every 2 members of your mafia. Grow your mafia to few thousand and you have a pretty sweet income that is not subject to roving bands of robbers. So recruit constantly.

43.) Always make sure that you have the maximum amount of Mafia Mike’s purchased before its time to collect your take. I recruit constantly but within a half hour of payout I take time out to make sure that I am full on the property.

How to Keep From Being Robbed

44.) Keep your mafia numbers equal to your level. In normal fights you and 500 of your buddies can work together to kick some butt but it’s completely different in robbery scenarios.

In robberies you may attack or defend with an amount equal to your level. When the robbers look at the list and they see less mafia than the level of the player it makes you a target.

45.) Equipment makes the difference. Your defenders are only as strong as the equipment that you give them. If you have nothing but junk, get ready to pay through the nose, but if you have top of the line stuff the robbers may have bitten off a bit more mark than they can chew

46.) Keep Leveling Up. Get out of the lower levels as quickly as possible. The higher level you are the less appetizing you will look to the sharks. Besides boss jobs pay much better than robbing and there are chances for some sweet loot.

47.) Keep your hands out of the cookie jar. If you don’t want to be robbed then don’t rob others.

48.) Win fights. There are very few stats available there are only a few tidbits of information when someone is going to rob you. They can see mafia size, if the property is protected, and standard profile stats. If they see a high win over loss ratio they are less likely to pick on you.

49.) Use smoke and mirrors. No, not magic tricks, I am talking about artificially inflating your win loss ratio. You can make it appear that you are far tougher than you are by fighting weaker people and building the wins. Call it camouflage.

50.) Don’t Hit List people, plain and simple.

51.) Always buy protection.

Weapons and Vehicles

New York Equipment

52.) Chain Gun – Since you can buy them early fill your inventory as soon as you can.

New York Weapons

53.) Body Armor – Not the greatest but beats a pinstriped suit. Most loot is better so switch it out when you can.

54.) Town Cars – +22 and there is an achievement for owning 500.

Cuban Equipment

55.) New York weapons are better than Cuban weapons at this time.

56.) Rebel Sniper armor it is +42 but increases the bribe penalty by 0.5% up to 80% max.

57.) Commercial Helicopter – Dump the town cars and replace them with these.
