Blood Money Mission Walk Through

Share:

The new Mission will be around for a little under 9 days. There are 8 parts and probably the same number of bugs. One of these is advantageous to the player as many players are reporting that some tasks were already completed and checked. There is also a lot of redundancy but nothing seems to be too difficult. The rewards were hardly worth all the hassles of this Mission.
Part 1
Crocodile Tears
Get support from your mafia is back. I was glad that we only have to get two people to help us this time. Use the Mission Link or Link-a-Nator by Team Spockholm and this objective will be done in no time.
Clear 3 robbing boards from any destination.
Then take out 5 Killers which can be found on the fightlist. Each one costs 13 stamina to attack.
The loot reward is 5 Crystallines which have stats of 73/35. Since this part is called Crocodile Tears, I was hoping for some of those Crocodiles from Brazil.
Part 2
Made The Fool
I think Part 2 made a fool out of Zynga. Most players, including me, found that it was already completed. All I had to do was click on the "Collect Rewards" button. How easy is that? Some players like Bill Johnson weren't as lucky and found the objectives were completed but there was no "Collect Rewards" button.
For those who have to do the Mission, you need to request 4 Documents from your mafia by generating a post from your Missions Page and do the Las Vegas District 4 job "Bribe A Casino Pit Boss" 20 times. The job costs 43 energy and V$3,800 Las Vegas Poker Chips (on the Ruby Level) so you will spend 860 energy and V$76,000 to complete this task. There are no loot rewards.
Part 3
Flown The Coop
Collect from your Brazil Headquarters 2 times. You can collect on your Brazil properties every 8 hours. Unfortunately you have to collect them all at the same time because Zynga hasn't given each Brazil property a collect button. Because of this make sure you you don't collect when your energy and stamina are full or you will miss out on the rewards from your Refinery and Barracks.
Now make 2 Local Informants in your Brazil Workshop. If your workshop is fully upgraded, you can make 6 items every 18 hours. You only need to have your Workshop at Level 1 to make Local Informants so this task should be easy for most players. For more information on the Brazil Workshop, go here
Workshop at Level 1 to make Local Informants so this task should be easy for most players. It's also a bonus that most of us will need these consumables to finish the new Brazil Districts For more information on the Brazil Workshop, go here
The loot rewards are 4 Yellow Sea Snakes and 3 13 Gauges.
Part 4
A Botched Ambush
Get 7 of your mafia to join your Mission Crew. You can use the same link you generated for Part 1 or create a new one.
I had a problem with this part. Players clicked on my link and were told they joined my Mission but I wasn't getting credit. I sent individual requests and accepted them with alternate accounts and there was still no progress. I contacted Customer Support and this task was completed for me.
I contacted Customer Support and this task was completed for me. I hate when I have to do that but I didn't want to waste 28 Reward Points on something that should have been easy to do. This makes up for the freebie from Part 2.
Now get 3 players to join your Brazil Crew. If your queue is full, you will have to empty out some slots by activating your Brazil Crew bonuses. You can use the Mission Crew bookmarklet for this or go to your Brazil Crew section and generate a feed post by clicking on the Brazil person icon and then the "Recruit" button. For some reason that doesn't make any sense, the "Ask" button doesn't make a feed request it brings you to the page to send individual requests. It should be the other way around.
The last objective says to win 15 fights. It fails to tell you that they have to be in Brazil. If you use the 25 Power Attack button, you will get credit for 5 fights which is a good thing.
The loot rewards of 5 Reinforced Steel and 5 Cement blocks are pretty useless but they are giftable so you can send them to your mafia members who need them.
Part 5
Lay In Wait
Part 5 starts out with another bug. The first two tasks were already completed. I was suppose to loot 10 Wooden Crates from jobs. Unfortunately since it's checked, I can't tell you which job you are suppose to loot them from or determine a drop rate. Please comment below if you had to do this task. I don't own any Wooden Crates so I can't think of a reason it would be checked already. I don't think I'll be contacting Customer Support over this one.
I can see that upgrading my Workshop would be checked as my Workshop is fully upgraded. I do know a few players who have fully upgraded Workshops that didn't get this box checked. They will have to contact Customer Support to get that taken care of. 
The last task requires you to rob 18 times. This one doesn't tell you but only robberies in Brazil will count. They also need to be successful robberies to count.
The loot reward is 4 Car Cutters. Woohoo!
Part 6
Italian Rendezvous
Don't let the title fool you. Even though it says an Italian Rendezvous, none of the tasks are in Italy. Again, the first two objectives were completed and checked for me. If you aren't this lucky, you need to do the job "Gather Intel From Street Rats" 16 times. This job can be found in District 3 of Brazil and costs 351 energy and BRL$150. Whatever bug this is, I like it as it saved me 5,616 energy and I'd much rather use it on the new Districts.
The next objective which I didn't need to complete is to loot 15 Luggage Bags from fighting. I'm not sure if you have to fight in a specific destination but if you click the "Go Now" button, it will take you to the right spot if there is a requirement.
Collect on your Brazil Headquarters property 2 times which you just did in Part 3. You would think they would have picked a different property to mix it up a bit. It saved me a screen shot.
Now get 8 Mission Crew members. I really hate these and don't know why they won't let us generate a news feed request like they do for Brazil Crew members.
Once again, I there was a bug in my account with these and I had to contact Customer Support. This is getting to be really annoying. There are no loot rewards for this part of the Mission.
Part 7
Silence Is Golden
Now we get to go to Italy as all objective of Part 7 in this destination. Start out by robbing 8 Villas.
Now take out 8 Informants. Maybe Zynga wants to silence the crew of the Informant Podcast! Too bad they didn't spell it right.
You need to take out 8 Informants and you can find them on the fightlist. Each Informant cost 5 stamina to attack. 
Now go on over to your Port and buy 2 items. There is a 23 timer in the Port so you have to wait or use Reward Points to speed it up.
The loot rewards are 4 Harper 12's. With the high statistics of job and fighting loot, these aren't really that great. 
Part 8
The Last Laugh
The last part of the Mission is pretty easy. All you need to do is win two wars. If your Declare War timer is active, then you can still get credit by ending a war for one of your mafia members. You have to be the last person to attack for the winning side.
It has to say "You won the war for XXX" in order to count as a win for the Mission. 
Now ice 6 targets in Italy and your finished. Kills and the extra ice that get credited to your ice statistic do not count towards this objective.
This was especially easy with the Assassin-a-Nator, it took less than 3 minutes. If you don't have the new Fight Module, Brawler will still work for you.
The Grand Prize loot item is called a Assassin Bug. I think this is quite fitting as there is obviously a bug with the Assassin Boss Fight as most of us haven't seen The Raven for a second time. I just wish Zynga would do something about it.

  1. I don't know if it is a bug, but I'm getting my crew members simply by accepting mission crew requests from my mafia friends. Usually, I don't even need to send out requests or to create a link.

  2. On the "Made The Fool" portion, i also had completed it w/o having to do anything, COLLECT REWARDS didn't show up until I had refreshed the page twice... refreshing may also work on UPGRADE WORKSHOP, worth a try before contacting zynga! TY for these walk-throughs,really helps to know should wait to collect from Port etc etc!

  3. The wooden crates can you get by doing this job: Goto the Belem District and do the job "Meet a Contact at Mosqueiro".

  4. So Zynga "can't spell write." eh? lol Great guide and very informative! Keep up the good work

  5. RE Part 5:

    2 out of 3 accounts that were Ruby level before release of 6-8 were credited with all wooden crates looted. No rhyme or reason I can see for the 3rd account to not get crates.

    Will follow up with jobs/drop rates when I get to that point.

  6. ^ took 36 clicks to loot 10 crates.

  7. My account was not credited with the 10 wooden crates although I have every single mission ever released finished so should have hundreds of these crates. The drop rate is extremely bad so stuck on this section for now

  8. Can't help but be grateful for these walk trues, they are really usefull, unfortunately we sometimes get a bit anxious and over click those collect properties (darn the port 23 hours timer) well at least the overall time should give most players a chance to get this one ;-) Just a though on the guy who got Brazil 6-8 done in 78 minutes - HOW MANY REWARD POINTS DID HE USE? Any one can guess?

  10. I'm stuck in the "Lay in wait" part of the mission (how fitting!), specifically on the part where you had to upgrade the Workshop. The request for Brazilian timbers did not post on my wall and I have to wait a day for it. :(

  11. why haven't i got this mission???
    guess i'm gonna have a hard time finishing this one.

  12. There IS another way to get past the timer for buying things in the Italian port. If you have gotten all the parts necessary to upgrade your port, you must FIRST buy an item there. ONLY THEN do you upgrade your port! Once you've upgraded, you can buy another item WITHOUT spending any RP's. I've tried it. IT WORKS!!!
