Mafia Wars Cheats and Hints for Facebook Part Two


For every computer game available, on-line or offline, there are secret codes or cheats to get players ahead in the game quickly. Google "Facebook Mafia War cheats" and the reader will be rewarded with a barrage of sites claiming to have the secret cheats or codes.
There are some scripts out there to automate a few actions of the game. One script touts that it automatically sends friend invites to players in the fight window. It may or may not work all the time. Players can advance faster by strategizing instead of hunting cheats.

Grow the Family

In Mafia Wars, players form mob families by inviting other Facebook members to join. The more family members a mob has, the stronger they are. The first and ultimately most important key to advancing is to keep the mob family growing. This can be done in a couple of ways:
  • Players invite all of their friends to join
  • Link to other players on one of the many ‘add me’ pages in FB, thousand of players network on these pages
  • Reciprocate when players join their mob family – Mafia War players can be members of more than one mob.

Family Defense

Family members need to be able to defend themselves. It is up to the Boss to make sure each team member has defensive tools. As the family accumulates wealth, the boss should make sure each member has weapons, vehicles, etc.
  • Initially, funds will be low, the Boss should focus on growing wealth in order to take care of family
  • As wealth is accumulated, Boss should purchase each member of family more weapons

Increase the Wealth

Each Mob Boss will have different strategies for accumulating wealth. Some families focus on more jobs and payouts while other families are more involved in property acquisitions. These strategy tips will help increase the family wealth regardless of the ultimate goal:



  • In the early levels of game play, purchase properties with a low investment cost and decent return rate. Mafia Mike’s Delis are an excellent choice; however, the number available for purchase is dependent on the number of family members.
  • As the money increases purchase high end properties – the key is to purchase as many as possible at one time. Once a purchase is made, the price increases for the next purchase.
  • Beware of the upkeep cost of some high end weapons and vehicles. Make sure money flow is sufficient to cover the costs.

Using Points Strategically

With each level up, players are given reward points by the Godfather. These can be used to increase a variety of attributes, such as attack, defense, energy and more. Where to apply these points depends on the Mafia Boss’ strategy.
  • Knocking off rivals and going for kills: this strategy requires using reward points to increase attack, defense, and stamina attributes. This allows the player to knock off other mobs and engage in more fights while staying strong themselves.
  • Money Accumulation: this strategy requires putting most reward points into the energy level. Energy enables the family to do more jobs, thus acquiring more money.
Mafia War players also have the option of buying reward points from the Godfather, if they so choose. Additionally, there are often special weapons or incentives available that can only be purchased with reward points.
Mafia Wars is an extremely popular game that has become the rage around the world. Players who are looking for shortcuts to bypass the actually playing of the game might not find what they are looking for, however, employing a few secrets to advancing their mob can prove to be just as valuable.

Top 9 Tips To Success In Mafia Wars

1. Bank Your Money

This game is all about mobs and you could very easily end up losing money during fights. Your money is very much safer in a bank.

2. Strengthen Your Mafia Family

Recruit people who play this game almost every day. This will ensure that you are building a strong family. Help other members of your family and by doing this, you are also keeping your family strong.

3. Buy Properties

Work towards making more money and use this money to buy properties that will help you dominate games.

4. Get The Best Weapons

This will help you in defense and gain more attack points too.

5. Saving Energy Packs

They will come handy during times of emergencies.

6. Pick The "Maniac" Class

Sure, you won't get the money that the other classes do, but in this game energy has much more value than money. Energy allows you to do missions, whereas money will not. This is the first mistake that players make when starting out.

7. Don't Rush To Create a Huge List of Mafia Right Away

It takes planning and a well prepared plan before a successful mafia is created. Do yourself a favor and work alone for a while until you are sufficiently prepared, and you'll be happy you did later in the game.

8. Spend Your Experience Points On Energy

A lot of players start throwing their points around and getting Godfather points or similar useless items. Well maybe not useless later, but for now they will just slow you down. Energy is the number one necessity for leveling quickly in this game, so get it whenever you can.

9. Don't get yourself on the "Hitlist"

Sure, it sounds like fun, but you will end up getting killed constantly by the higher level players. Wait until you are in the higher levels to do this. Remember, you do not want to slow down your leveling.

Growing Your Wealth in Mafia Wars

First and foremost, you will obviously want to do some jobs to get some money. But pretty soon you won't need to do any jobs to make money, only to level up. This is because your investments will make money without having you having to do anything.

At the very start, when you are doing jobs, choose the ones that offer you the highest payoff with the least amount of energy used - good pay/energy ratio. Alternatively, you can choose jobs that have a high experience gained/energy used ratio. The more benefit to you with the least energy lost is the right direction you should take.

As soon as you are paid, it is a wise decision to bank your money. Yes there is a 10% money-laundering fee that the bank will charge you, but this is much better than losing everything in a fight.

When the time is right, remember to buy properties with a good return on investment ratio.
