Mafia 3: the 5 best tips
In Mafia 3 you will become the gangster boss of New Bordeaux with the right tips. With the following advice, Lincoln's vengeance campaign succeeds.
Tips for Mafia 3: Avoid violence
Mafia 3 often gives you the choice of killing a victim or letting her live. The decision not only depends on morality, but also harbors playful differences.
- In direct melee combat, you can kill enemies with your knife or only overwhelm them.
- Which method you choose has no influence on the immediate course of the game. Both types are silent and kill the victim indefinitely.
- If you kill a victim, it drops more money.
- Leave the enemy alive, he will work for your organization in the long run and thus continuously generate money.
- You cannot choose the type of overpower dynamically, you have to set it under "Options", "Game" and then "Melee Overpowerings".
- You can recruit bosses regardless of the type of overpower. To do this, simply press "Apply" in the dialog after being overwhelmed. Note: This only works if you have bugged the business area on a distribution box.
Mafia 3: tips for the police
In addition to fighting the mafia, you'll also have to take on the New Bordeaux police in-game.
- The police in Mafia 3 are much more attentive than in GTA 5, for example.
- You can recognize police officers by the fact that they are marked as blue dots on the minimap at all times.
- If the police have noticed you and are looking for you, this is indicated by a red and blue flashing area on the minimap.
- You should quickly escape from this area, only then will the area turn blue again.
- Police officers also come when they are informed by a local resident. How quickly they appear afterwards also depends on the residential area.
- A civilian often calls the police while stealing a car. It is better to leave the area quickly instead of killing the civilians. It is faster and safer.
Tip: Money in Mafia 3
In Mafia 3 you build your own empire. This not only serves the desire for revenge, but also ensures a decent income. You also need this for ammunition, upgrades and new weapons.
- There are two different displays for the money in Mafia 3. One shows the status you are currently carrying. The other shows the safe amount in the safe.
- Whenever you are killed, you lose half of the cash you are currently carrying.
- So bring your money regularly to your safe in the Hollow. It makes sense to save the money if you have more than $ 3, 000 with you.
- If you have activated Vito Scaletta as a bottom boss, you can save yourself the constant journey to the safe. You can then use the weapon wheel to call the Consigliera at any time to collect your cash.
Tip: Free ammunition for pre-orders
With one trick, all pre-orders of the game receive unlimited ammunition.
- All pre-orderers of Mafia 3 received three free weapons with the "Family Kick-Back Pack". These are the "Camo Model 67", the "Barker 390" and the "Drum MP Trench 1938".
- You can equip all pre-order weapons free of charge at the weapons dealer, who you can call in the weapons wheel.
- With the three pre-order weapons, you never have to buy ammunition. As long as you only use these weapons, you can easily switch between them.
- The ammunition is automatically filled up with every change.
Tips on the distribution boxes in Mafia 3
It is your responsibility to listen to the distribution boxes in New Bordeaux early in the game.
- Each junction box covers an area in the game world and spits out useful information about it.
- When you listen to an area, collectibles and enemies are marked on the minimap. Opponents are then visible through walls in the information view.
- To bug a junction box, you need three TL-49 fuses. You can see how many you are currently carrying under the minimap.
- The fuses are marked on the card with a green circle with the opening facing downwards. The symbol of the distribution boxes looks the same, but is white.
- Collect the fuses at every opportunity so that you don't end up standing in front of a distribution box without fuses.
- If a box is bugged, the business bosses in the area are also displayed. You can then advertise these for your company.
