Most Massive Defensive Weapons in Mafia Wars

Have you ever heard the old adage “The best offense is a good defense?” That adage holds true in football, war, and even Mafia Wars.

Once you have recruited a solid mafia of 500 you are going to need to equip them. 500 mafia defending with cardboard boxes are not what you want to see when the Don from a few blocks over is coming to kick your ass. You want them to have the top defensive items in the game.

Today we are going to give you a list of the top 5 defensive items in Mafia Wars to date.

Top 5 Defensive Weapons to Date
Number	Item	Attack	Notes
1	Harbinger	220	Diamond Level Loyalty Program
2	Hill’s Heavy Weapons	175	Mastery Reward, Las Vegas, The Upper Strip
3	Little Dog	160	Platinum Level Loyalty Program
3	Power Rifle	160	Gold Level Loyalty Program
4	Pair of Typhoon Clavers	112	Mastery Reward, Bangkok, Dragon Head
5	Trieste’s Pistol	104	Mastery Reward, Las Vegas, The Lower Strip
Bonus: Top Lootable Offensive Weapon to Date
Range Finder Rifle		54	Secret Stash
Woodsman		54	Chance Drop when fighting someone with 501 Mafia
Notes: 501 of either of these guys would give you a defensive of value of 27,054

Getting 501 of the top defensive items to date is impossible but filling out your mafia with the top loot defensive items is the next best thing. Grab the top items if you are so inclined but make sure that you work the competition over or seek out the secret stash to give them the best that you can.

We all know that to be a top player in Mafia Wars we need two things.

A full mafia of 501
The Top Weapons in the game

Building a large Mafia is really pretty easy by using “add me” groups, friends lists, email lists, and much more, but no matter how quickly you build your mafia you are going to need to have the best equipment for them to ensure that you are a mobster to be feared.

Today we are going to give you a list of the 5 Offensive weapons of all time in Mafia Wars. Yes there are other weapons that you can use and in many cases will have to use but for your reference here are the top 5 offensive items to date.

Top 5 Offensive Weapons to Date
Number	Item	Attack	Notes
1	Harbinger	255	Diamond Level Loyalty Program
2	Little Dog	190	Platinum Level Loyalty Program
3	Hill’s Heavy Weapons	160	Mastery Reward, Las Vegas, The Upper Strip
4	Trieste’s Pistol	129	Mastery Reward, Las Vegas, The Lower Strip
5	Power Rifle	120	Gold Level Loyalty Program
Bonus: Top Lootable Offensive Weapon to Date
Arcturion Assault Rifle		59	Las Vegas Lootable
Notes: 501 of these puppies would give you an attack of value of 29,559

While attaining 501 of the top 5 offensive weapons to date is impossible you can gain an attack value of 29,559 by outfitting your mafia with the Acturion Assault Rifle. To ensure that you mafia has the best keep knocking out Las Vegas Missions and building your supply.

Understanding Attack and Defense Numbers in Mafia Wars

A have received a few emails lately asking if I would talk a bit about attack and defense statistics and what they really mean. I will do my best to explain and show you which items you should be concentrating on.

Weapons, Armor and Vehicles are important when attacking and defending but they are not the only things that you need to have. The most important item that you can have is a full strong mafia of 501 members. There are many ways that you can grow your mafia and I discuss them in detail in The Ultimate Mafia Wars Leveling Guide.

When attacking or defending each of your 501 mafia members brings 1 weapon, 1 armor item, and 1 vehicle and you must provide the items. When attacking your members will be using the items that you have with the best attack score. If you do not have 501 of the best items the game some of your mafia will be given lesser items in descending order. The same holds true for defending. The game will hand out the best defensive score items that you have and then work its way down. As you can see having the best of both offensive and defensive items is paramount if you want to control your own destiny in Mafia Wars.

To help you find the best items in the game I have listed them below. You will find a list of the top 25 items of each type, offensive and defensive. Since not everyone wants to fork over real money for Godfather Points or has been around for crates or holiday events I have also included a version that displays the top 25 looted items for each stat.
