Mafia Wars : Best Loots Ever!

After Moscow episode 5 & 6 is out, I found the best 6 loots ever! Of course for now, because we know that Zynga loves to make changes of loot stats..
And I mean here lootable weapons, armors and also vehicles.. so don't compare them with GodFather items or mastery items, ok?

WEAPONS

ARMORS



VEHICLES

Nice to have 501 each of them, right???

Fugama Gureihaundo-X

Fugama Gureihaundo-X [vehicle]
22 Attack & 41 Defense

First Available: October 26, 2009

We *THINK* that this is a vehicle ... but knowing Zynga it could be a vehicle today and then a weapon tomorrow (Plasma TD Gun => armor then vehicle then armor).

Still not sure why Zynga continues to offer items for sale such as this when there are better items available in the game. The Armored State Car (42 defense) from Cuba even has more defense than this thing. Or even new Moscow loots Konstantin Cargo Carrier (44 defense).

I'll suggest to pass.. use your reward points to refill energy or spend it for upgrading your attack/defense skill.

Buy Rubels With GF Points? Bad Idea!

I just copy-paste this article from Top Mafia - Disabled. I have questions from you about spending your GF points to buy Rubels. Well I hope this article can help.

Btw, I used my GF points to buy Rubels because I wanna master all quickly so I can share all here.. do not follow my way!

-----------------

This is why using your GF Points for in-game money is bad ... it ONLY encourages Zynga to continue their structuring system as it generates profit for them.

I'm not sure how many people bought Rubles (R$) in Moscow compared to Pesos (C$) in Cuba ... but I think it would be a safe bet that MANY more people used &/or purchased GF Points for that.

Personally I think the way that Cuba was structured was MUCH more fun to play as an expansion area compared to Moscow. Things just seemed to be more enjoyable and not so much repetition of jobs for the mere purpose of obtaining money just so that could buy crappy inventory needed to do ... you guessed it ... MORE JOBS.

Well ... if you followed the idea of using GF Points to purchase Rubles (R$) and then used those Rubles to buy/upgrade Moscow businesses ... you better break out the plastic because the final Moscow business has a total cost of R$307,906,800

Enjoy and thank Zynga for a wonderful expansion ...

Mafia Wars Moscow : How To Lower Your Bribe Penalty

Hello all,

I simply copy-paste this article from Zynga forum.
http://forums.zynga.com/showthread.php?p=2548115#post2548115
Credit goes to mysticreaver!

----------------

Guide: After Mastering Ep. X you can sell Y - lower your bribe penalty.

This guide is based on the assumption you will MASTER a tier before touching the next one. This is called the Vertical Job Mastery.

When a job name is listed, it means sell the items Right After Mastering Tier 3 of said job. When nothing is said, sell it after mastering the whole tier. Also, I cut three zeroes out of all prices, and replaced by the multiple indicator K or M whenever convenient.

Episode 1:

Dubina x6 - "Threaten a Gang's Supplier"

Taksi x3

Dubinas are needed in Ep. 5; Rationale behind selling your dubinas:You lose R$ 1,500K when selling your dubinas. Your bribe penalty goes down by 3%. In earning more than R$ 50M from jobs, selling dubinas pay off. You will need quite more than that to get to ep 5, so sell them now and buy back later.



Episode 2:

Taksi x6 - "Bribe an Election Official"

If you do Port Authority First, Sell 6x Dvina After Re-route an Equipment SHipment
| Dvina x3 - "Re-route an Equipment Shipment"
|
| Dvina x3 - "Pay off the Port Authority in Arkhangelsk"
|****************************

Ending:
Pistolet Besshumnyj x15



Episode 3:

balaclava x18 - Mototsykl x12 - "Map out the Escape Route"

Dvina x6 - "Case the RossijaBanc Building"



Episode 4:

Tracksuit x 24 - "Manage an Escort Service Catering to Soldiers".

Forest Camo Suit x6 - "Capitalize On An Officer's Gambling Problem" - ONLY IF YOU GO MAFYA ON ALL EP 5 PASSES. Get Nuff Consumables before selling


Forest Camo Suit x12 - "Buy Off the General's Command Team" - ONLY IF YOU GO MAFYA ON ALL EP 5 PASSES.



Warning: Just as Zynga added last cuba tier later, there might be a seventh tier to moscow. It has been suggested in the forums by some people worth of note. So as in all cases, Your Mileage May Vary. Caveat Taken.



Episode 5:

Lisitsa 32 Sedan x6 - " Hunt Down a Ural Liberation Front Contact"

Lisitsa 32 Sedan x18 - "Discover Who Was Responsible"


Bronezhilet x30 - Riot Helmet x30 - "Stop a Terrorist Attack in Moscow"

KRZ8 x12 - Arctic Camo Suit x12 - "Stop the ULF Attack" - Get Enough Konsumables Before Sellink Loot

Arctic Camo Suit x18
"Kill a Lookout" - If you go Vory on your third pass.
"Discover the Location of the Next ULF Attack" - if you go Mafya on your third pass.


Shturmovaya Vintovka x36 - BYK-922 x12 - "Look for the Boss' Moutain Hideout"

Boevoy Nozh x24 - Dubina x15 - "Torture a ULF Lieutenant"
