Mafia Wars - Hitman Job Guide

Mafia Wars is a turn based multiplayer application popular on networking sites like Facebook and MySpace. True to form, you will be thrust into the world of the illegal and the underground as you become a Mafioso yourself, trying to rise above the ranks to eventually becoming, one of the most feared gangsters in New York (and Cuba !)

This article will feature a guide for one the 9 job tiers in New York - the Hitman level one of the last tiers that players under the level of 25 can access. It will mention the necessary requirement to complete each particular job, as well as the benefits and rewards reaped from each one. If you're looking for a review of the game, then here's one for Mafia Wars as well as a Beginner's Guide. With that out of the way, let's get on with the guide!

Mastering the Hitman job tier (Maxed out mind you) grants you the CHainsaw Bayonet. This special item reduces the stamina regeneration time by 30 seconds, allowing you more time to strike at your enemies.

There are 9 jobs here, as per the usuals. Let's start of with the one requiring the least energy - Repelling the Yakuza.

This job needs about 11 energy points from your stash. It yields a little over a hundred grand to less than two hundred with an experience of 21. To do this job, you'll need 2 chain guns, a machine pistol (5 of these) and 3 armored sedans.

Disrupting a Rival Smuggling Ring requires two more energy points than the latter (13) and aside from the chain guns used earlier, you'll need 10 grenades and a getaway cruiser to make a speedy retreat. Experience yokes out 23 points and a little less than 250 grand smackeroos. You'll also have a chance to loot a .50 caliber rifle.

Selling Guns to the Russian Mob and Invading the Tong Controlled Neighborhood both require 22 energy points as well as Three Getaway Cruisers. But that's where the similarities end.

The Invasion job needs 5 Chain Guns and Body Armors. Whereas the Russian Job needs 7 instead of 5 chain guns, and an extra Town Car for show. The Russian Job has 41 experience points to yield, which is 6 more than the Invasion Job. However, in terms of cash payouts, the Russian Job will be able to give you a max of 3 million dollars as opposed to the Invason's 400 Grand.
