Massacre In Moscow Walk Through

Share:

Now that Cuba is gone and we have 200 other events going on simultaneously, Zynga doesn't want us to get bored. The Massacre In Moscow Mission started as soon as the Cuba timer ran out. It is dramatically presented to us with a newspaper that has more people talking about the image in the lower right corner than the headline!

Here is the one from Cuba and you can see that the creepy looking Moscow guy is in the lower right corner. Based on what happened today with Moscow, I think it's save to predict that Bangkok will be next.

Massacre In Moscow starts out with the pop-up that looks just like the one from Crisis In Cuba but has different images.  Just like Cuba, we have 8 days to complete the Mission, we can collect 10 Snow Resist Layers (59/63) from fights and jobs a day, there is 5 times mastery for those who haven't completed Moscow and great loot items will drop along the way. When the timer is up, Moscow will be gone and so will your Rubels!

Find the Massacre In Moscow Mission on your Home Page Module or your Missions Bar.  You can get to the original pop-up by clicking on the little yellow question mark.

There are 6 parts to this Mission and they all follow the same Mission format we are used to. Let's review each part so you can plan ahead and get it done in time.

Part 1

Not Welcome Here

The "Get Support From Your Mafia" is back. These things are getting old but you need to have your mafia member accept your request or you need to accept theirs. Do this 7 times to complete the first task.

The second task seems tricky but it really isn't. You have to collect 15 Bundles of Dynamite.  According to the game description, you can loot them from Jobs in the Vor Episode or get them as gifts.

If you don't want to wast energy, accepting them as gifts seems the way to go. You learn very fast that gifting alone isn't going to cut it as you can only accept 5 Bundles of Dynamite a day.

Don't feel stupid if you randomly select a job from the Vor Episode, blow through all of your energy, get angry, do a 5,000 drop rate study from your energy account to prove that Bundles of Dynamite don't drop from jobs and prepare screen shots to post on your blog. It turns out that Bundles of Dynamite drop pretty consistently on a specific jobs in the Vor Episode.  Depending on which path you chose, they will drop by doing the job called Stop The ULF Attack if you chose the Mafiya path and Sabotage The Plan From The Inside if you chose the Vory path.

If you have old Bundles of Dynamite, curb your excitement as they are useless for the Mission. They will help you get through the jobs requiring them in Moscow but all Bundles of Dynamite need to complete the Mission must be new!  You can gift existing Bundles of Dynamite to your mafia but the only ones that will help are the ones on the Free Gift page.

The third task is easy and requires that you collect from your Taxi Stand 2 times.  There is a 8 hour wait between collections so this shouldn't slow you down.

The loot reward for Part 1 is 3 Haper 12's. We have better defense weapons in the game but this should help a lot of players.  You also get Rubles as a reward but what are thinking? If Moscow is closing shop then the Rubles are no good to anybody.

After the big misunderstanding from Part 1, Part 2 seems pretty easy if you've already mastered Moscow. Just fight 15 opponents and your done. The second task was automatically checked for me so I'm assuming this is a task needed for players who haven't fully mastered Moscow. There are no loot rewards for this part of the Mission.

Part 2

Rescue The Warrior

Part 3

Very Cold Blood

We get 2 Yellow Sea Snakes for finishing Part 3 and they should help most of us because the in game items higher in attack (the Sea Eagle and the Thrasher Shark) aren't that easy to get.

 Part 4 

It's A Trap!

The first task requires that you craft a Forearm Guard from your Armory.  If you haven't crafted within 18 hours, there shouldn't be a wait. The stats on this thing suck but you get a stamina point for your efforts. It should be noted that you miss an opportunity to craft an item with better stats so this really isn't a good thing to force us to do. If this Mission is suppose to be a Moscow thing, then why should we have to do a task in New York? Maybe they ran out of ideas.

Task 2 just requires that you win 18 fights in Moscow and task 3 is another job for loot scenario.  There were no issues here and the item dropped at a pretty good rate.

The loot item offered as a reward is 2 Steal Plate Jackets and should help most players with their stats.

Part 5 

No Questions Asked

I forgot to take a screen shot of Part 5, but Leonard posted all the parts on the fan page. This Part required 30 more Bundles of Dynamite, 6 more Supports from your mafia and robbing 5 Trafficking Operations.

What's great about Part 5 is you get another Kelly M50. This is the third time this has been offered in a Mission and I'm sure it helps every player.

Part 6

Backfire

The 6th and final part of the Mission requires you win one war, ask for 6 Manila Envelopes from your mafia and ice 6 people in Moscow. There wasn't much to it and I was glad to be done with Moscow.

The Grand Prize for completing Massacre In Moscow is the Snow Cat which is a Vehicles that looks like a Cat. The stats are awesome (141/72) so you want to try to complete this Mission within the 8 days that it's available.

You should also make sure that you take advantage of the 5 times mastery if you haven't finished Moscow because there are a lot of skill points available that won't be around much longer. You should also try to get as many Moscow achievements as you can and get your collections vaulted.  It looks like the collections will stay based on what we are seeing with Cuba. Players can probably vault and re-vault them once Moscow shuts down but they won't be able to loot the collections items anymore.
