This Special Delivery Limited Time Mission may pose to be a challenge to complete. There are 8 parts and quite a few tasks will require a few days of waiting. Of course there are many bugs and some players are already behind as they don't have access to Chicago.
Part 1
Long Distance Friendship
Rob 27 times. This one is straight forward and obviously we can't rob in Chicago because it's not ready yet. I robbed in New York and had no issues.
Just like the regular non-timed Chicago Missions, the Get Support from your Mafia task doesn't work. You can ask all the friends you want and generate links but the only way I was able to get it done was accept about a ton of Mission requests in hopes that 5 of them would count. I would go to Customer Support but I think they are a little busy because of other bugs. After accepting about 40 or so requests from my ZMC, I eventually got 5 of them to count.
Traveling to Chicago seems easy enough. That is if you have it on your account. Most players trying to do this task were greeted with the "You are unable to travel to this destination at this time. You will need to be more powerful to tackle this zone." message that should really say, "You are unable to travel to this destination destination at this time. You will need to spend more money to tackle this zone".
The Enemy Of My Friend
The first task also seems easy enough. Ice 7 opponents. What they fail to mention is the opponents need to be in Chicago but I guess if you don't have access you would never get to Part 2 anyways. I noticed that kills are now counting as two ices for the Mission. In the past you didn't get any credit for a kill.
Declare a war 6 times is a bit excessive. You can declare one war every 8 hours so you will need to wait this one out for at least 2 days if you are right on time every 8 hours. At least we don't have to win the war because many players, including my self can't even ask for help. This bug has been around for a while now and it doesn't look like Zynga is doing anything about it. When you try to ask for help, you get a defective help button and some spinning bullets that won't go away.
Do the District 1 job, "Dispose of the Bodies" five times. You will need one Body Bag to do each job. The Ruby Level cost is 216 energy per job. There are no loot rewards for this part of the Mission.
Payment Is Its Own Reward
I don't know who the genius was that came up with the first objective but they really need to be spanked. Everybody knows that robbing in brand new destinations requires patience because players need to unlock their properties. It even says so on the Chicago Robbing Page and Zynga decided to make robbing unavailable at this time. How the hell are we suppose to rob when it's not even available?
I tried to rob individual players but nobody was listed as having any properties.
The trick here is to individually rob somebody who has unlocked and built one of their Chicago properties. My energy account was my prime target I removed it from my mafia, went to the Profile Page, selected "Rob" and was happy to see a Truck Shop waiting there for me to rob.
After robbing myself once, I clicked on the refresh button and was able to do this 20 times to complete the task.
Do the Chicago District 1 job "Break Into Guido Pantucci's Warehouse" 5 times.
Acquire 10 Armors means exactly what it says. If you click on the "Go Now" button you will be directed to the Marketplace but you don't need to purchase anything. In addition to the Marketplace, you can get armor items from the city stores, fighting, jobs and robs.
Get 6 people to join your Chicago Crew. You need to get 6 people in your queue and it doesn't matter if you activate them or not. If your queue is full then you will have to make room by activating some positions. This works the same way as Brazil in that the buttons do the opposite of what you think. The "Ask" button goes to you individual request page. To generate a news feed request, you need to click on the little person icon which will open up your queue and then click on the "Recruit" button.
For all this trouble you don't get any loot but as a consolation prize you get 5 Clams and 5 Hired Guns.
Do the District 1 job "Smuggle a Shipment Back to Chicago" 5 times.

Part 4
New York's Finest
So much for Chicago, now travel to New York to continue with this Mission.
Do the job New York Enforcer Tier job "Distill Some Liquor" 5 times. It's going to cost you 9 energy per click.
Now put those Liquor consumables to use and do the job "Liquor Smuggling" located in the same tier 5 times. Be prepared to spend 27 energy per click.
Ask you mafia to send you 5 Wooden Crates by clicking the "Ask Now" button to generate a news feed post.
Get 4 Weezle Wasters for your efforts.
Part 5
Over The Bridge, Under Your Hat
Upgrade your Chop Shop to 2 levels. If you are fully upgraded to Level 15 than this task will be auto-checked.
Here is a task that wasn't though out very well. In addition to the 2 day wait for declaring 6 wars in Part 2, you will have to wait a total of 72 hours (assuming you are right on time) to craft 4 items from your Chop Shop. This is a total of a 5 day wait for these two parts alone. Players who started behind because they didn't have access to Chicago could be in jeopardy of not completing the Mission.
Now is the mac daddy of "Get Support From Your Mafia". They want us to do this 15 times and the thing never works. Once again, the request links that my mafia respond to don't count, the individual requests that I send don't count and the only way to get past this is to buy it off with Reward Points or go to Customer Support. I'm definitely not spending 113 Reward Points for something that is suppose to work.
This same issue that occurred in Part 1 was a Fail. It has now been upgraded to an Epic Fail. Of course my "Platinum Customer Service" is a fail as well. Now I'm stuck and Live Chat is no where to be found. I ended up accepting a lot of Mission Crew requests and got the Reward Point cost to a more reasonable amount. It's very aggravating to deal with this issue every single time. There are no loot rewards for this part of the Mission.
Part 6
Thirsting For The Road
Win 3 wars. Depending on how much time you have left, you can win your own wars and wait out the Declare War timer or you can help in a war. It will only count if you are the last person on the winning side to attack.
Take out 20 Street Thugs which can be found on the New York fightist. Each Street Thug costs 20 stamina to attack.
The Hotsy Totsy is the loot item reward and you will get 3 of them.
Part 7
Exchange On The Rocks
Now you need to go back to Chicago.Do the District 1 job "Smuggle a Shipment Back to Chicago" 5 times.
Collect from your Truck Shop 6 times. There is an 8 hour timer between collections so this one will set you back 2 days assuming you collect on time. It's going to be very challenging to complete this Mission without using Reward Points. Maybe this Mission feature will be the next Trader Goh and I can stop doing these posts.
Get 10 members in your Chicago Crew queue. Depending on how many people you already have in your queue, you may need to wait until some slots are available to dump them. Leonard Wong discovered that the queue is the same one for Brazil so you can dump players there as well. You can see below that my Chicago and Brazil Crew queues are identical.
Chicago Crew
Brazil Crew
There are no loot rewards but you will get 30 Clams if you make it through this part of the Mission.
Part 8
A Taste Of The Good Life
Go to your Speakeasy and make 3 items. If you want to make all 3 at once, you need to have it upgraded at least to 3 stars. If you don't, there is a 18 hour wait between making items.
Clear 7 Robbing Boards. Chicago robbing isn't available but you will get credit for robbing in any other destination.
Oh no, not this one again! Get Support from your Mafia 20 times. Hopefully Customer Support will help me with this one. At least I will have 8 days to deal with it.
Ice 30 opponents in Chicago. Ices in all other destinations won't count.
The Grand Prize loot item is the Lounge Singer. I'm not sure it's worth all this effort.

this is pathetic. its simply not going to complete w/o RP's.
ReplyDeleteZynga is turning more and more RP hungry now a days :(
damn damn damn! I reallt wanted that hot chick as a piece of "loot" but damn, the mission is just too damn hard, screw it!
ReplyDeleteGiven 3 weeks most mobsters would still not finish this mission leave alone 9 days
ReplyDelete:-(
WoW just 8 days to complet all this stuff.. IS it spend more RP stuff or just run away from Zynga......... I just want to do it for the beauti that I will get as reward.
ReplyDeleteNo effing way....
ReplyDeleteI think this will not be possible to finish without spending rp. Zynga is becoming so greedy like never before.
ReplyDeleteSweet, I'm in your top crew on part 7. Top Row, 3rd column. =)
ReplyDeleteThis will probably be the first mission that I do not complete...
ReplyDeleteI've only had problems with
ReplyDelete'Support Requests' when I accpet them too quickly. The server seems to get confused if you try more than one at a time. One time I accepted 10+ and only got counted for 2. But if I accept them one at a time and wait til it registers, it works fine(if a little slow).
At least you all are able to do it. This mission is not available to me at all. I am a level 4200, was in Chicago early, have collected a ton of Henchmen, but this particular mission is nowhere to be found in my account. I chatted with customer support earlier, and they said they would get this resolved right away. That was 6 hours ago. So...all of you have a head start on me.
ReplyDeletethe kills didnt count as 2 ices for me on the mission, did for ice event, i checked on all 3 kills at the time and only credited me with one ice, you were lucky i guess :)
ReplyDeleteI fail to understand the obsessive greed that has taken a grip on zynga.
ReplyDeleteYou can see why so many people a quitting the game with Zynga just not caring about the players and just wanting our $$$$$ to be spent trying to keep up with there stupid dead lines..
ReplyDeleteThanks for the details, now I know not to kill myself or spend stupid RP on this!!!1
ReplyDeleteAt least we don't have to win the war because many players, including my self can't even ask for help. This bug has been around for a while now and it doesn't look like Zynga is doing anything about it. When you try to ask for help, you get a defective help button and some spinning bullets that won't go away.
ReplyDeleteHint and Tip on How to be able to post a War if your caught up in this bug....
Get into your own war from either a post you have on your wall, or by getting your War Link and using that. It will load your war and let you post for help without having the Revolver stuck in your way.
There is a way to post for help in War even if you are caught up in this "bug" by Zynga.
ReplyDeleteGet into your war, either by an old post on your wall or by using your war link. This will allow you to post it without having any revolver! :)

This is truly a tough one! But, I think Zynga may have revised some elements. for example, when it cam to the robbing part, clicking on "Go Now" took me to NY, not Chicago. So, that at least made that part easier!!!
ReplyDeletefor the last part you'll need a 2,5 stars speakeasy property...you can make 3 items with that lvl...anyway this mission sucks big time...
ReplyDeleteThe text "Get Support from your Mafia X times" should be "Give Support to your Mafia X times", as the counters go up when you join crews.
ReplyDeleteDon Mathie
I only declared 2 wars and the next time I looked at progress all 6 were checked off...a pleasant surprise but I am sure in the allotted time I won't be able to complete this mission.This would also be the first mission I have not completed and I refuse to spend RP's for finishing! Really poorly thought out by Zynga:-(
ReplyDeleteWell I will go as far as I can w/o spending RP's
ReplyDeleteIf Z wants to make missions requiring rp's they should have atleast had the courtesy to advise players of this
With 4 days to go, I am on the next to last step, which should only take 2 days to complete. The last step will not take long at all (no timer dependent tasks), so I it is possible to complete without spending a single reward point. Even with only doing 2 wars a day over the weekend.
ReplyDeleteI definitely won't be finishing this ridiculous mission! ~Kim Kstt
ReplyDeleteA comment regarding the ask for help bug in wars. There's a way around it which works in my energy account that's affected with the spinning bullet syndrome. 1) Go to your FB wall, 2) scroll down to an old war help request, 3) click to help yourself, and voilĂ , you're in the war with a functional Ask for help box.
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Marde
lots rp spent for this mission still can't think of finishing ice 30 opponent 1 attack 5 stamina attacking not sure you'll win, Using all stamina just able to ice 1.
ReplyDeleteWelcome the ZYNGA world - after geeting stucked 2days because of the Guns from Part 3 now stucked since 3 days at Part 4 New York finest "the wooden crates" - every time I post this shows up for my friends: Sorry, the max number of people have already collected from this post. -- Well done and thank you for the fun in the last 2 years - Have a great game all.
