If you are playing Mafia Wars on your iPhone and you have questions relating to your weapons and how to attack and defend this guide is then for you. Everyone always seems to be asking the same question... Why are my attack and defense staying the same when I buy more weapons? The answer is pretty easy to explain, but there are some things you need to keep in mind before the answer is explained: 1. You are allowed to take 500 mafia members into battle with you. 2. Since you're only allowed to take 500 mafia into a fight with you, that means you're only allowed to take 501 weapons, 501 defensive items, and 501 vehicles with you into battle. (500 mafia plus yourself = 501) 3. The highest-level items you can buy are  Rocket Launcher, Night Vision Goggles,  and  Towncar . 4. The system will automatically add your highest attack and defense items together to form your overall attack and defensive stats. For example, if you have 100 mafia, and only buy 100 bonus weapons, then your to...

Mafia Wars secret event Stuff The Bird is the second Thanksgiving theme based event. For this you will need three friends: an inside man, an enforcer and a hacker.

You can now battle in the fight club tournaments in Mafia Wars Las Vegas. To begin you would need to choose your weight class, then use your stamina and racks of ships to compete for the championship title. Placing your bets and winning more chips could give you the chance of becoming world champ.  The general gist of these tournaments are that you enter against other random opponents and fight in a bracket-style fight (single elimination) in order to see who the winner is. The winner then ends up with a collection piece, some $V, experience points, and Victory tokens (can be used to purchase items in the Marketplace under the "Fight Club" tab). You can also bet $V on players (either yourself or others), which pay out odds based on their chance of winning.  Choose your weight class. As far as loot goes here is a screenshot More info coming soon. If you have additional info please use our comments section. An original post by Sociolatte

Every property has a rating of 1/2 star when you first build it, it needs to be upgraded to 5 stars in the same fashion as the Chop Shop and Weapons Depot. Below is the list of all items needed for the 6 Vegas Properties, along with how many items of each you will need and a link to add those to your Wishlist. 1-VAULT As soon as you are granted access to Vegas, you can build the Vault, provided you have at least 2 of each Vault Build Parts. At that point you can deposit and withdraw money from your vault, and since it is not a "chartered bank", there is NO BANKING FEES !!! Whohoo !!! The Vault Capacity increases with the Star Rating. I haven't kept track of the lower stars rating (can someone can help fill the blanks?), but here is what I have gathered so far: 0.5 Star => $V100,000 1 Star => $V200,000 1.5 Stars => $V400,000 2 Stars => V$800,000 2.5 Stars => V$1,500,000 [or V$1,600,000 - TO VERIFY] 3 Stars => V$2,500,000 [TO VERIFY] 3.5 Stars => V$5,00...
