Mafia Wars – The Importance of Armor

25
Nov/090

Everyone knows that in order to win a war there are many things that must be considered when developing a winning strategy. One of the most important things that many new players over look in Mafia Wars is the importance of obtaining the best armor for their mafia.

Armor is used not only by players as job prerequisites or for use in a mafia war, working the hitlist, fighting bosses, and other players, it is used by each member of the player’s mafia.

Getting your hands on the best armor is of paramount importance and today I am going to give you some insight on how to get that armor. Below is a list of armor that is currently the best in the game.

Best Armor Currently

Offensive
Item	Attack	Defense	Found In
Ex-KGB Body Armor	48	30	Moscow, Episode 3: Brigadir Mastery
Che’s Beret	46	34	Cuba, El Patron Mastery
Shturmovik	45	28	Moscow, Episode 4: Brigadir, Chapter 2, Vory, Rob a Troop Convoy
Veteran’s Dog Tags	40	42	25 Godfather Points
Guerrilla Commando	38	35	Cuba, El Capitan Mastery

Defensive

Executive Overcoat	22	45	Moscow, Episode 6: Acquire Classified Files on Crime Syndicates
Galea	18	45	Colosseum Crate
Guerilla Bodyguard	25	44	25 Godfather Points
Chevalier Exoskeleton	18	43	Experimental Crate
Tesla PD Gun	18	42	25 Godfather Points
Ghillie Suit	16	42	Cuban Crate
Veteran’s Dog Tags	40	42	25 Godfather Points
Traje De Balas	10	39	Cuban Crate
Ranger Body Armor	15	38	25 Godfather Points
Red Coat	8	38	4th of July Loot

Most of these items come from spending Godfather Points or from crates. This is Zynga’s way of ensuring that the game is profitable for them.

My advice, if you don’t want to fork over real money is to pick the Shturmovik as your offensive armor, and the Executive Overcoat as your defensive and work the jobs until you have 501 of each.

Until you can build up 501 of these items make sure that you substitute the best that you can buy or the best dropped in missions. Armoring is one of the most important part of the game to ensure success.
