Rain Maker: Exposed

Share:

Remember these guys?  They were here, they were gone, they came back, they caused problems, and we spent a lot of stamina and money to beat them. 

We did all this work to get the prized Rain Maker.  This is the guy you thought you didn't get because he wasn't in your regular inventory.  He hangs out with the mastery items and has the ability to clone himself up to two times.  Zynga was kind of sloppy here.  Why not align him to the left so it looks more organized?  And do we really need 3?  Why not just the one of the highest level we achieved during Beat the Feds?  They do this with the District Boss Fight loot items.  It's as if Zynga forgot all about the Rain Maker.  Once we realized that Vegas Chips weren't very valuable, we pretty much forgot about him too.

The "5% bonus to Vegas fight chips" sounded cool at the time.  Las Vegas currency is very easy to get. Fighting should yield you enough to buy whatever you need to complete each District.  In addition to the flawed pixel layout, the Rain Maker has been hiding a dirty little secret from us.  Bossy Don recently discovered that he doesn't do what he claims and he is 100% useless.  From the image below you can see that she was given a 15% safecracker bonus from fighting in Las Vegas, but what happened to the additional 5% from the beloved Rain Maker?

While putting this article together, I wanted to include an image of Bossy Don as my Safecracker.  I know she has done a gazillion robberies and was surprised that she is only a 6% Safecracker.  What's the deal with that?  I would think that with 222,500 successful heists she would have the maximum Safecracker bonus.  All of the 15% Safecrackers I know were around before robbing was eliminated from the game.  They had performed 50,000 successful heists with the old version of robbing.  I'd like to know what it takes to get the 15% bonus now.

For now The Rain Maker doesn't do anything.  Considering the source (Beat The Feds), maybe it's a bug and needs to be fixed.  It's only a 5% increase in cash from fighting so I figure we should only be 5% more upset with Zynga.  I always think the Rain Maker is flipping me off when I see him on my profile page.  I thought I would make my own version of the Rain Maker to compare.
