By now many have noticed that the Old Man of the Henchmen Event is not very easy to get. Many have spent a ton of energy trying to get him.
I've seen several players report that he drops in New York doing the easy jobs. I decided to give it a go and did the New York Associate Tier job "Mugging". The job only costs 2 energy so I was will to waste some energy trying. The experience/energy ratio is only 1.0 so there was a sacrifice.
After 952 jobs, I finally got my Old Man. Not bad considering I only spent 1,904 energy.
This was especially cool because I also got the Cocktail Waitress as the Grand Prize for having all 7 items.

the old man and the cocktail waitress.....sounds like a joke i've heard somewhere. (:
ReplyDeleteI have 3 of the Old Man just from doing El Dorado Jobs, it is the Garbage Man that I can't get. Over 5000 Stamina on fights and he just won't drop!
ReplyDeletei found him on El Dorado, but boost bonus doesn't work
ReplyDeleteGot 2 from "Intimidate A Junior Researcher" in El Dorado (297 Energy)
ReplyDeleteI picked one up doing the exact same job.
ReplyDeleteFrank
the one im having a prob getting is the Garbage man
ReplyDeleteJust after reading this post did Prepare an Ambush for a Neo-Imperium Sect in Sao Paolo: Taubate Prison ... and got two Old Man in a row!
ReplyDeleteI fired up my pure energy account have have gone up 1000 levels since the henchmen were added. I've had to restart the RepeatJob tool a few times so I don't have the actual stats, but here's a snapshot of how my henchmen split looks. I have thrown millions of energy so this is a good average.

Is there a known limit to any of these henchpeople? I have one garbage guy and one old man and so, one waitress, just wondering if I can get more. I did the Yakuza job a zillion times.. with mastermind and wheelman bonuses it came out to 1.93 xp/energy.
ReplyDeletei got 1 at El Dorado
ReplyDeleteI got 25 of them on my energy count running repeat job in El Dorado for an hour. And 2 in my main account with only 4k energy (and far from serial) also doing El Dorado.
ReplyDeleteThe one that won't drop for me is the garbageman.
I got 2 from doing jobs in El Dorado.
ReplyDeletealso found the Garbage Man in Brazil fighting..dirty old man!
ReplyDeleteThe Old Man was actually one of the first to drop for me. What took me FOREVER was getting the Garbage man, like the other "Anonymous" said. That one I did finally get from ... the "Mugging" job. I doubt I'd have thought of doing that on my own, LOL, so a big THANKS for the tip. MW Loot Lady Rocks!!!
ReplyDeleteYep...

I got him in El Dorado,but spent a lot of stamina looking for him. Think the trash man went to the islands for a long weekend...he is nowhere to be found (hope he is not out on strike!)
ReplyDeletelike all others, there is usually one that doesn't drop well for each person or server? So just keep on.. keeping on... they'll drop
ReplyDeleteJust did the "Mugging" job 3600 times and got just 1 Crossing Guard for my efforts. Guess you got lucky.
ReplyDeletei've got 3 too... From secret district. i have no bartender and garbage man
ReplyDelete:-(
I have lots of Old Men! Got them in Dorado. What I don't have are Garbage Men, which I assume are really Grumpy Old Men ...
ReplyDeletegot the 4 i got doing the Set Up Your Operation in a Renovated Skyscraper in Rio de Janeiro: Centro and got three Garbage men in brazil and Itaty I got 4 but it only shows 3(i had 2 before starting a round they in the loot log in Assassinator it showed I got 2x but it register as 1 this maybe the issue.....don't know
ReplyDeleteI finally got one in El Dorado, got plenty of all the others but it took me thousands upon thousands of energy to finally get this one :o(
ReplyDeleteAfter 7,400+ stamina in the other cities, the Garbage man dropped after only 3 fights in Brazil. Imagine that!
ReplyDeleteThe Garbage Man was one of the first to drop for me (I do a lot of fighting) but I only ever got that one of him. The Old Man has been impossible to get and I've tried all cities and everything from 2 point NY jobs to 800+ ElDorado jobs...but there are still 12 days or so left--so I will keep trying.
ReplyDeletei think i did about 50000 stamina and have 6 garbage man in new york and a lot off energy in eldorado but have also 6 old man. I think it is by a chance that you did 1000 jobs in new your and he drop i did the same on 1 and 2 energy and nothing, maybe somebody can confirm this
ReplyDeleteGot him in El Dorado, it's the bin man I can't find.
