How Much Does It Cost?

Share:

Quite a few posts down, I was really impressed that Zynga code factored in the City Store discount granted with the addition of Abelha Helicopter.
Now that I'm on District 5 and have a 10% discount on all job equipment, I noticed that things weren't adding up right. I thought maybe it was just me and just worked around it. Mindy brought up the same issue to the PAC and Joel figured out what was going on. You can see here that I need BRL$2,376,000 to buy all the items for this District 5 job.
According to the bank, I have enough to cover the costs.
Everything adds up right when you check on the costs of the individual items which include the 10% discount from the Abelha Helicopter. If I had to pay the regular price, I would need an additional BRL$237,600. This is the issue as the code to buy the items directly from the job is not factoring in this discount.
If you experience this bug, there are two ways you can work around it. You can go to the Brazil City Store and buy each individual item. This is annoying and takes a lot of clicks. I chose to sell some of the equipment used in the earlier Districts to get enough cash to bypass the said discount.
Once I had enough Real, I was able to buy the items directly from the job pop-up. How sad that the short lived benefit of a useless bonus can't be utilized when it's actually needed.
Thanks to Mindy and Joel from the PAC.

  1. Fortunately, I've never had a need for cash in Brazil. I already have over 17 million saved up and am in District 5, gold level. All others are Ruby.

  2. My loot account had that issue until I bought a partial of the required items from the city store. Then I was able to buy the rest on the job. Weird.

  3. If you've mastered as far as you have I am intrigued to know why you have so little cash. I've only mastered the first three districts to ruby and the other two to silver and have 25 million banked (granted, I can earn millions fighting too). But does the last level require huge sums to buy equipment to do the jobs?

  4. Yes the last job requires lots of cash. I ruby-mastered Recife first because of that. Now I'm cruising while finishing Brazil
