Part 2

Big business, Banana Republic, Tycoon

(Earned by fully upgrading a single business in Cuba/owning all businesses in Cuba/upgrading all businesses in Cuba)

Upgrading Tobacco Plantation is the most easiest one to upgrade, costing C$12,500 to take over + C$ 125,600 to fully upgrade = C$138,100 total. Owning all businesses in Cuba costs C$637,500. Fully upgrading every business costs about 6 million pesos.

If you are a fighter character then you should start doing your fights in Cuba as soon as you hit level 35 to steal Cuban money from players and get your businesses going early and you will have easier time in Cuba when you start doing jobs there.

Energy character’s fast progress means they won’t benefit from businesses as they take over 20 days to even return the initial investment and energy characters can blow through cuba easily much faster than that. For energy characters, after fully mastering cuba, you can sell all your inventory except what is required for the job ‘Arrange A New York Drug Shipment’ in the El Cacique tier and farm the money required. This job will give you the best money for energy invested after taking the minimal equipment requirement bribery increase in the calculations.

Like a Hurricane

(Earned by winning 1000 fights in Cuba)

As soon as cuba opens to you, start doing every fight in Cuba. It doesn’t matter if the defender is in New York or Moscow, the fights you initiate in cCuba will always count towards this achievement. This is a grinding achievement which will take some time.

Working Man

(Earned by completing 20 jobs)

Trivial achievement, only way not to get this is not to play the game at all.

Knife Thrower

(Earned by looting 10 butterfly knives)

These will drop as you master associate tier, the unmodified drop chance is 25-30%.

Uncle Sam

(Earned by owning 50 federal agents)

Since the job where federal agents “drop” from consumes a blackmail photo each time you do the job and the drop chance is very low, it’s not recommended to try and farm 50 federal agents from the job.

They start dropping from fights after reaching level 105, and fights don’t consume the much needed blackmail photos.

The most easiest way is probably get them all gifted and then gift them back to the player, but requires a degree of trust if this person values the federal agents. You can also put it on your wishlist and publish it or trade for them, this is a second rate item and is not worth much.

Set Them Up for Later

(Earned by losing 10 fights in a row)

Have 10 stamina, go to leaderboards, attack the best player on the leaderboard 10 times. These players get attacked thousands of times per day and your 10 attacks will probably go unnoticed. Alternatively you can just find a stronger player on the fight list.

First Blood, Veteran

(Earned by declaring and winning a war/participating in 500 wars )

These are facebook only achievements. The bigger your mafia is the better the chances are that when you announce a war, your mafia members will instantly go kill the guy you declared war with. Participating in 500 wars requires a big mafia and hunting newsfeeds for wars to be participated in, this is a grinding achievement and can really be softened by having your mafia size in the thousands.

It’s Good to be the King

(Earned by being promoted to at least 10 friend’s top mafia)

Boosting your jobs completed, level and mafia size is the most quickest way to this achievement. Depending on your class, fearless have it easiest on this achievement because -11% wheelmen (you will give a -11% wheelman bonus when you are a level 299+ fearless) are somewhat rare. Fights won and successful heists (when they are enabled) require somewhat a hardcore amount of completions to give the maximum bonus to your mafia so going that route is not as efficient. Always raise your mafia size, the more mafia you have, the better the odds are for getting promoted to top mafia.

Island Bound, Rossiya Matushka

(Earned by travelling to Cuba/Moscow)

Cuba/Moscow unlocks at levels 35/70 respectively, simply travel to the country when you reach the required level.

Big Spender, Treasure Hunter

(Earned by spending GF points/finding a Rare Item in a mystery crate)

Simply use your GF points to get Big Spender, extra skill points are generally the best investment for these.

You have 10% chance to find a rare in a crate that costs 20 GF points (or 55 GF points for three crates). If you are willing to go for this achievement by buying GF points or simply wasting the free GF points awarded in the game, here are some numbers:

Crates bought	Chance to find rare item
3	27.1%
6	46.9%
9	61.2%
12	71.8%
15	79.4%

So if you buy 9 crates you are more likely to find a rare than not, but it is not guaranteed and even buying 15 crates you have 1 out of 5 situations where you don’t find a Rare Item. So this is a huge GF point drain achievement, definitely not worth it for 1 skill point.

The Best Offense

(Earned by defeating 6 attackers in a row)

What makes this achievement a little tricky, is that fights won riding the hitlist do not count and most people don’t attack you 6 times after seeing a loss from the fight list. Simply ask a weaker player in your mafia to do you a favor, remove you from his/her mafia and attack you 6 times losing. You can then add each other back. Remember to give a gift!

Part 1

Napoleon Complex

(Earned by defeating someone with a bigger mafia)

This achievement is most trivial for new characters. The 10 first fights on a character are fake fights where the outcome is randomly decided. So to get this attack first player on the fightlist with a higher mafia size than you and repeat until you win. Alternatively you could pick someone from the leaderboards and do the same. For old characters, 501 vs 501 should work just fine.

Unstoppable, Brawler

(Earned by winning 15/100 fights in a row)

Since the removal of critical hits, these achievements are trivial. You need ONLY one player that you can beat, go to his/her profile and copy the attack link on your address bar and refresh for 15/100 times or until you run out of stamina, in which case, bookmark the link for later when you have stamina. 100 times attacking isn’t considered abuse even by Zynga standards and you can even do this while the other player is Iced so they never knew they were attacked.

Armed and Dangerous, Personal Fleet, Slum Lord, Cashing Out, The first is the Hardest, Personal Bailout

(Earned by owning 10 Tommy Guns/500 Town Cars/30 Apartment Complexes/selling 50 Mega Casinos/banking 1 million at once/banking 1 billion at once)

All these achievements can be completed when you have $NY1,111,111,111 or more money on your character. This amount of money is trivial and is earned when you are mastering consigliere or underboss at latest. To get these achievements, bank more than $NY1,111,111,111 in one go, the bank fee will reduce this to $NY1,000,000,000. Buy 50 Prime Downtown Lots and 30 Commercial Blocks. Buy 30 Apartment Complexes. Buy 10 mega casinos for 380 million, sell 10 mega casinos for 380 million. Rinse and repeat until you have no Prime Downtown Lots left. Buy 500 Town Cars and sell 460 of them, 40 is the maximum you need to do jobs, you might wanna keep more for fights if Town Car is the highest attack and/or defense vehicle for you. Armed and Dangerous will be automatically gained just by going for job requirements.

Giver, Spreading it around, That’s Amore, My Little Friend

(Earned by giving a Diamond Ring to any player below level 8/an M16A1 to a friend/10/501 gifts to your mafia)

These are trivial for anyone that has ever traded, I have over 30000 gifts sent. If you don’t trade much, you can get this when you reach more than 501 useless brass knuckles, butterfly knives, firebombs, and so on and you can go to the gifting page and gift these to random members of your mafia for 20 per time. To find an under level 8 player, add friend requests to those people under 8 in the fight list or simply find an inactive player already in your mafia. Diamond ring is found by default when you get well into Hitman tier jobs. M16A1 starts dropping from fights after reaching level 60, this level unlocks the job in Cuba that drops M16A1’s. Alternatively you could put it in your wishlist, publish it and when someone gifts it to you, you gift it back.

Wing Man, Mercenary

(Earned by helping out 10/200 friends who call for backup)

Zynga is constantly changing around the job help limits, which at the moment seem to be lifted from Cuba and New York, and only apply in Moscow. Simply put, the larger mafia you have the faster you will get this, so better go raise that mafia size of yours.

One Down, What else you got?, Next!

(Earned by mastering at least one job tier in New York/All job tiers in New York/All job tiers in Cuba)

If you are a low energy account, these will take a long time, make sure you login every day to use your energy pack and energy regenerated.

Collector, Curator, Master Collector

(Earned by vaulting at least one/nine New York collections/all Cuba and New York collections)

By mastering jobs you will by default find all the collections in their tier by the time you have it mastered 3 times, except for soldier and enforcer. You can add the missing pieces from soldier and enforcer to your wishlist and get lucky. Most reliable way is just trading the missing pieces from people.

All my characters had lotto collection vaulted when Master Collector was added in the game so I am not sure if it was included in the “all New York collections” requirement.

Getting the Crew Together, Crime C.E.O.

(Earned by promoting one person in each Top Mafia slot/having at least a 100 level person in each top mafia slot)

The first one requires no more than 6 mafia members, given there is at least one mogul, maniac and fearless in your mafia, as some positions are only allowed for certain class type. The more mafia you add, the more likely it is that you will have six over 100 level players in your mafia for the Crime C.E.O. Keep checking the players in your mafia if you are still missing this achievement.

Dependable, Dedicated

(Earned by doing a job 7/20 consecutive days in a row)

These achievements don’t have any tricks, you simply log in every day and play the game.

Hitman, Bounty Hunter

(Earned by collecting a bounty/50 bounties from the hitlist)

I wouldn’t try for these if I didn’t have sufficient attack skill and offensive mafia strength. Nevertheless, these are achievable for everyone, you don’t need to win in a fight to kill someone. Any attack you do will deal damage to the target, even if you lose. If you deliver the damage that kills the player (I.E. Killing Blow) on the hitlist, you will get the bounty and it will count towards these achievements.
