Mafia Wars Attack Rackets

There are three Mafia Wars attack rackets, like job rackets and defense rackets, these give you no cash but give you “boosts” instead. A boost is an item you consume when you need it that gives you more power, defense or reduces the energy that you use when doing jobs.

Here are a few of the more important things to know about boosts:

  • You are not able to stack boosts. For example, if a boost gives you a +10 defense bonus you cannot use two of them together to get a +20 defense bonus.
  • Besides getting boosts from rackets, you can buy them or get them from collections.
  • Once you use a boost it is gone from your inventory.
  • They are used automatically.

Each time you shakedown a Mafia Wars attack racket you receive 3 boosts, this increases to 4 once you have mastered the racket.

Mafia Wars rackets will all give you 1 experience point when you collect them. The cost and reward in influence you get is the same for each one. You can run a maximum of 20 rackets at a time.
