It looks like the Henchmen: Urban Agents has a variation from the X-Men and Farmers Insurance Loot Drop Events. There is no limit on how many items you can keep.
You can see I have 11 Cab Drivers and they are all in my inventory. Too bad they don't help my equipment score. Overall the stats on the Henchmen items are really good.
The gift 'em or lose 'em feature that we saw in the X-Men and Farmers Insurance Events does not apply to this one.
Ariek posted his job items on the Mafia Wars Fan Page and we can see that once again Zynga favors the energy accounts.
Many are noticing that their items don't match what the Assassin-a-Nator says. That's because when you fight in Brazil, you don't get the 5X loot drops. Remember the Assassin-a-Nator adds the 5X loot to the log because Zynga fails to tell us how many items we actually got. If you are fighting in Brazil and your opponent is also in Brazil, the Assassin-a-Nator multiplies the loot items by 5. Always go by the number on your Missions Bar. Thanks to Yoni Percy for the screen shot.
The Lockpick Brazil Crew bonus does not apply to these items either. Sorry I don't have a screen shot for you because my energy account is unable to add members to it's Brazil Crew. It's another common bug in Zyngaland.
Abhinav Gandhi has answered the question we all wanted to know. Can you get more than one of the Grand Prize item, the Cocktail Waitress? The answer is yes. I'm sure you can guess that the drop rates for these items are bad.
Henchmen Bring a New Level of Hurt to Mafia Wars!
Play Now!
Where would a mob boss be without Henchmen? In a back alley full of bullets, most likely. That’s why Mafia Wars is introducing Henchmen as a 5th item category. Be the first to collect an army of these tough men and women to watch your back and keep you informed. It's time to take the fight to a whole new level of hurt, and we're kicking it off with the Henchmen: Urban Agents Mastery Event!
Collect Henchmen
From now until 11:59pm on 9/29, find Henchmen dropped from jobs and fights. Gather these 'Urban Agents' to strengthen your Mafia and ultimately gain the Mastery item, the Cocktail Waitress (120/75). Now's a perfect time to start amassing an army of these inconspicuous Henchmen!
The new henchmen category will probably be a repeat of what happened with the animals. Anything that was remotely close to an animals was moved from it's current category and placed in the animals. We will probably see all the armor items that are people become henchmen. I'm sure Dr. Dre will be making his move in your inventory. We need a fifth loot category about as much as we need holes in our heads. It's hard enough to keep track of four categories and this will just make the game even more confusing. especially to new players who probably won't stay.

old man ang garbage man are scarce...
ReplyDeleteIs anyone having luck collecting these henchman from NY jobs?
ReplyDeleteThey should intruduce Henchmen at time when they introduced animals. I still don't get what have animals to with Mafia and who's retardet idea this was. Zoville!
ReplyDeleteAnd the only animal that mafia uses are pigs (OK lonely pig looks like a pet) as they can digest a human body (except tooth and hair) in few hours so there are no evidences left.
Hahahaha Jenny shouldn't you push for a "deadly human eater" as you did for Badger. He would be here in few days as Zynga often listens to your ideas or wishes. :-)
tq
You say assasin-a-nator doesn't show exact number of items we get but what is about other items like parts, is it correct number? Thanks
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU FOR THE NEW INFO. It really helps explain to all my new players in our clan.
ReplyDeleteFinally I won old man but bartender and garbage man are pain in a$$ even i burnt more than 10k stamina in Brazil.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand zynga, why so low rate if that items are crap compared with Cuba where I looted mroe than 500 each the strongest items.
I'm harvesting all of them, except the old man and garbage man. Looks like they're really scarce.
ReplyDeleteAnd I've had 2 cab drivers dropping from jobs...
Sounds like Zynga'd.
I have 6 garbadge man and 5 old man fighting in ny and doing jobs in eldorado
ReplyDeleteAre these only in Brazil? It seems that is the only place I can get them to drop.
ReplyDeletei've gotten 3 old men from doing jobds in eldorago, but only 1 garbage man.
ReplyDeleteI think the Cocktail Waitress may be tied to the total number of sets you have, so if you have 3 full sets, you have 3 Cocktail Waitresses.
