Well, Mobsters!

"Blue Eyed Nate" and "Crazy Dragon" once again covered a lot of ground! This time they were joined by the one and only "Cerulean Master!"

Fight and Robbed Loot Update!

Everyone should learn how to fight if they expect to make it out there on the mean streets, and new Fight Loot has just made fighting more rewarding! But that's not the only good news on the loot front! Robbed Loot will now come from the same list as Fight Loot, ensuring that any items you pilfer are especially useful in your quest to assume control of your territory. Lastly, we are aware that some players have been experiencing issues with Brazil Loot drops. We are working to eliminate those issues as swiftly as possible. In the meantime, you don't get loot by wishing for it, so get back to fighting and robbing, mobsters!

New Boss Fight: Defeat Roughhouse Rafael!

The Boss Fight you know and love has been upgraded! This is the first of a number of exciting fighting features coming to Mafia Wars this quarter! In this Boss Fight, you’ll be tasked with taking out Roughhouse Rafael, and you’re given one week to do it!

A full week of fighting?... Sounds like only those with high stamina will survive. On the contrary, stamina has nothing to do with this fight! Instead, you will need to collect 4 new ammos from jobs, wars, robbing, and, should you choose, gifting to bring down Roughhouse.

As for the new ammos, our informants tell us that it would be unwise to assume that any one of them is the best and use it the whole time. Apparently, the ammos, when used in certain sequences, unlock particularly damaging combos! You will have the opportunity to discover one such combo by completing a Quest Event that will run during the Boss Fight. You will have to discover other combos on your own or via your friends’ feeds if they beat you to the punch.

Get ready, ‘cause only the roughest and toughest will win this Boss Fight!
