Operations Trick For Missions

Share:

I finally finished all the new Missions and updated the New Missions Review article (1). Some of the Missions are buggy and I ran into some problems.  I'll review some of the common bugs right now and what you can do to work around them.  The major stumbling block players are having is in the Mission Plant a Mole.  There are 3 parts and I had a problem with each one.  Again, I did these Missions on a high level energy account so my pay outs are a lot larger than the average players would be.

Part 1 requires that you "Complete 3 Operations".  If you initiate your own Operation and it's successfully completed, you won't get credit.  If you help out in a Operation and it's successfully completed, in most cases, you won't get credit for that either. If you don't want to spend Reward Points to complete it, there is only one thing you can do until it's fixed.
To get credit for Operations in Plant a Mole, you have to help in a Operation but you need to be the last person to finish it.  Here is how I did it. Go to any Operations and do the job but don't master it by 100%.  Now just wait for the other players to finish and go back in a master the job.  This will get you credit for your Mission as soon as you master the job. It will only work if you are the LAST player to do so.
The problems come into play if there is another player in your Operation trying to achieve the same goal. It will turn into a stale mate and somebody will have to cave or both players could be removed by the initiator.
You should also stay on top of things. If you aren't there to complete your Operation right away, the initiator may get annoyed and remove you from the Operation.  This player took way to long to come into finish so I had to remove him.
In Part 2, we are required to take out a certain number of Henchmen in New York, Italy, and Bangkok.  The Henchmen will appear on your Fight List and you simply attack them to kill them.  Problem was that they weren't there in Italy or Bangkok.  I had to keep logging in and out and eventually they showed up.  If this isn't the case for you, contact Customer Support.
More of the same for Part 3.  You have to find Harvey Angleman and Joshua Angleman on the fight list.  They could be in any destination. Some players got lucky and clicked the "Go Now" button and the targets were there waiting for them.  Others had to refresh and travel for a while before they showed up. If you don't find them, contact Customer Support.

  14. Don't know if they fixed this or what, but I completed these last missions on January 29, and not only did I get credit for an operation I started, but I also got the other two credits from operations where I was the first to finish my part.

  15. if you have already a finished mission operation to collect it also counts. You do not need to finish last :)

  16. 3 Days and I couldnt find Joshua. The tip about looking on mafiawars.com worked for me. At first he was not there but after doing a fight he appeared when the fight page updated.

  17. FYI, if you're using brawler, it will hang when one of the Anglemans is in the fight list.
