Vory
Chapter 1
- The "Smuggle Consumer Electronics for the Vory" job will provide you with a Concealable Camera. You will need them for the "Receive Vory Intel On Dmitri" job in Chapter 2.
Here's a tip: If you're still struggling to finish the New York level because of the insane amount of cameras and cell phones to master the third levels, you can build experience, and rubles by doing the jobs in Moscow, grabbing the loot, and running to New York. Robbing the Electronics Store in New York seems to provide way too many Computer Setups. Remember though, using the Concealable Camera in Moscow will not produce the same photos! **This will not work unless you choose the Vory side, because concealable cameras are not needed on the Mafiya side.**
Chapter 2
- The "Receive Vory Intel On Dmitri" loots the the Dossier on Dmitri which is needed to complete the "Hospitalize Some Nationalists" job in the finale.
- The "Collect the Ransom" job will drop the Cherepaka Compact. This is a Vory only loot drop.
Chapter 3
- The "Hijack An Arms Shipment From A Militant Gang" will provide you with a RU-7 .45 Pistol.
Master all three levels of this episode and get a Burzuk SUV, which provides you with more defense and attack power when fighting against other mafias.
The only difference in loot lies in Chapter 2. There are other differences in regards to energy spent vs. experience earned, as well as what items are needed to complete the jobs, however, the loot differences show that one path isn't really better to choose than the other. The mastery item for the episode is the same regardless.
