To win easy fights find a weak player and attack them repeatedly.

Fighting other Mafioso

How can you know if you will win a fight? You won’t know for sure until you try but there are some things you can do to investigate your opponent.

26.) Mafia Size

OK, this one is kind of a no-brainer but I thought I should toss it in. If your enemy has a smaller mafia than you do you have a better chance of winning, if it’s larger you will probably lose.

27.) Check the win/loss record. If a player has fought a total of 122 fights and lost 80 it basically means that they are on the losing end 67% of the time and should be fairly easy. On the other hand if they have fought 122 fights and lost only 22 they have a winning percentage of 82% and would make a hard target.

28.) Take a look at Deaths versus mobsters whacked. It’s a good bet that if a player has significantly more kills than deaths they could very well be bad news for you.

29.) Another indicator is successful heists and times robbed. If the person has never robbed anyone and been beaten up regularly they are a mark. If they have a great deal of successful heists but never been robbed…run away.

30.) To win easy fights find a weak player and attack them repeatedly.

31.) Weak players are nice but inactive ones are gravy. Check to see if the collectables they have are old, if so chances are they are inactive. People quit the game every day but the game remains active. When you find one of these guys make note of them and you can pluck them like a chicken.

How to Deal With Being on the Hit List

If you are the kind of player who keeps their nose clean and does not attack or rob others and are happy with doing jobs chances are you will never see the Hit List. On the other hand if you are they type that likes to attack others or rob their properties eventually you will either get hit or gang attacked by the buddies of someone you have pissed off.

Here are a few tips to help beef up your defenses and maybe…just maybe survive.

32. Add more mafia. A bigger mafia means more protection.

33.) Get the best equipment that you can afford. You want to have the best armor for each of your mafia. Since only 501 can help you on any one fight you need to own 501 of the best armor and weapons that you can afford.

Now that you’ve added more mafia members (or already had 500), it’s important that they are fully equipped. You will want one weapon, armor, and vehicle for each person in your mafia. The higher the defense on the items, the better off you will be when defending your self from attacks. Here is a list of the best equipment (weapons, armor, and vehicles both bought from the shop and dropped by jobs) for defense:

34.) Best Items in the game for defense

Weapon

• Gaff Hook – 30 defense – “Pillage a Shipyard” job in the El Jefe tier in Cuba.

Armor

• Guerrilla Squad – 34 defense – “Supply the FRG with Some Extra Muscle” job in the El Padrino tier in Cuba

Vehicles

• Armored State Car – 38 defense – “Storm the Presidential Palace” job in the El Padrino tier in Cuba.
• Private Jet – 38 Defense – Dropped from jobs and fights

35.) Spend points on Defense

501 mafia and top defensive equipment are not going to be enough if you have put no points into defense. You can get extra points by vaulting collections. As a rule of thumb your defense should be equal to your level for higher survivability. You can use Godfather points to get +4 stat points if needed.

36.) Hit them hard. If you are attacking and are awarded the maximum amount of cash, $100,000 then hit them again.

37.) If robbing is your favorite activity you are most definitely a mobster and along with that distinction will come the inevitable Hit List. Most of the time you can attack people and pretty much get away with it, but hit their properties a bunch of times and you are most likely dead meat.

38.) No matter how big and bad you think you are there is always someone out there somewhere that is just a little bigger and a little more bad.
39.) If it is your goal never to be on the hit list it’s really very easily accomplished.

1. Stick to doing jobs
2. If you DO attack someone do it once and move to another target.
3. NEVER rob properties

Follow those 3 rules and you will most likely never be on the Hit list.
