Mafia 3: unlock perks and special abilities - how it works

Later in the game, you can unlock 3 perks and special abilities in Mafia. Above all, they make fighting and driving easier.

Mafia 3 perks and special abilities: Requirements

The perks or special abilities are unlocked via the sub-bosses.

In Mafia 3 you have to gradually conquer the sub-districts of New Bordeaux and distribute them among the sub-bosses.
Assign businesses and districts to a sub-boss to increase their reputation and income.
If you've increased a sub-boss's income to a certain amount, unlock improvements.
Some improvements will be credited to you automatically. If you have reached a certain amount with Vito Scaletta, you will receive an additional health bar without any further action.
Vito's income is generally critical to Lincoln's health improvements. In contrast, Cassandra can improve weapons and Burke can improve cars.
To get stronger in all areas, you shouldn't neglect any of the sub-bosses.

In addition to the improvements that are activated immediately, you must first unlock some and then buy them.

First, order Cassandra's arms dealer from the weapons menu.
You can choose from a few menu items on the trolley. You can upgrade perks and buy new weapons and items here.
If you choose weapon enhancements, you will get more weapon categories. Here you can buy new weapons or improve each category individually on the far right.
Under Vehicle Modifications you can improve the vehicles that Burke delivers to you.
Lincoln improvements improve your stamina, carrying capacity and more.
Arms dealer improvements are often in three stages and cost a lot of money. So think about what improvements you really want to buy. It is often better to put the money you earn into a new weapon.
