Q: How many Districts are available in Los Angeles?
A: 
Currently, there are 3 Districts available in Los Angeles:
  • District 1 – Bel Air Massacre
  • District 2 – Santa Monica Chop Shop
  • District 3 – Hollywood Uprising
All the districts can be completed by doing jobs which consume your energy. In order to proceed to the next Mastery Level of a particular District, in addition to completing jobs, you also need to bring down the health of the respective District Asset to 0 by raiding it. 
There are 4 Tiers to be mastered for each of the Districts – Bronze, Silver, Gold and Ruby.
Please note that there are no Bandits or City Bosses in Los Angeles.
Q: How do I navigate through various districts in Los Angeles? 
A
: As you might have noticed, we haven’t implemented a Map interface for Los Angeles. You can navigate through various districts of Los Angeles using the drop-down menu as shown below.  


Q: What is a District Asset? 
A
: Each Los Angeles District has a unique Asset associated with it.
Mastery level of the Asset corresponds to that of the District. You can unlock the next mastery level of a District ONLY after you've finished raiding the Asset and have completed the Jobs of the District at the current mastery level.


Q: How do I raid a District Asset? 
A
: In order to raid an Asset, you will require a certain number of Consumables and Stamina.
Step 1: Collect Consumables
A certain number of consumables are required to raid an Asset which are displayed while doing jobs and will also be indicated on the game board, below the Asset. This number varies with the Mastery Level of the Asset.
Do Jobs to collect the required Consumables in the respective Districts. The raid will be unavailable if you do not have the required number of consumables on your account to carry out the raid.




Step 2: Use Stamina to raid the Asset
The “Start Raid” option uses 75% of your maximum Stamina in one click.
Once you meet the requirements (i.e. have the required number of Consumables and Stamina), you can raid the asset by clicking on the “Start Raid” button.
There are 3 District Assets available at the moment:
  • District 1 – Bel Air Massacre - Hellraiser
  • District 2 – Santa Monica Chop Shop – Steele’s Wheels
  • District 3 – Hollywood Uprising – Woolf Studios
Clicking on "Start Raid" will deduct the consumables and 75% of your maximum stamina and will initiate the raid.


While doing jobs, you will be alerted when the raid is available:


Once you click on the “Start Raid” button, a raid is initialized.
Please note that raiding an Asset takes time. You will be able to deal damage to the Asset and receive the rewards only after the raid ends (raid timer expires).
The amount of Damage you deal to an Asset and the time needed to finish raiding an Asset will differ for each mastery level.
You can continue doing jobs while the raid is in progress. However, any consumables earned during this period will be visible only at the end of the raid.

15 Minutes
Silver Level

Q: What are the Rewards for raiding an Asset? What are Medallions? 
A
: Raiding an Asset will reward you with Experience and loot. The loot will differ based on the Asset and the experience payout will depend on your maximum Stamina.
Once the raid ends, you will be able to collect the rewards by clicking on the “Collect Reward” button.


Raiding each Asset and mastering it to Bronze Level (bringing the Asset health down to 0 for the first time) will reward you with a Medallion.
Achieving Asset Mastery will reward you with an Asset Mastery Reward for that level and 1 Skill Point.



Click on the drop down to view the Medallion and your progress.
As we add more Districts to Los Angeles, more Medallions will be available, which will help you reach and defeat an unknown enemy. Stay tuned for more updates, as we roll out new Districts in Mafia Wars - Los Angeles!




Below are the Asset Mastery Rewards:


Q: Why is my Asset Locked? 
A: 
Asset mastery is tied to the overall mastery of a District. The Asset will be locked if you achieve the mastery of Asset before mastering the jobs. You will need to complete the mastery of all jobs in a particular District to proceed with the mastery of the Asset & the overall District.


Q: What happens after I achieve the Ruby Mastery of an Asset?
A: 
Once you achieve the Ruby Mastery of an Asset, you take over the Asset and own it.
You can continue to generate rewards and experience from the Asset similar to the way you have raided it. The “Start Raid” button will be replaced with a “Generate” button.




Q: How many City Properties are currently available in Los Angeles?
A: 
Currently, there are two properties available in Los Angeles – Banquet Hall and Production House. Mastering the first job in Bel Air Massacre and Hollywood Uprising will unlock them respectively. 
Each Property gives you valuable resources to break the siege over your gangland:
·         Your Banquet Hall provides Bucks.
·         Your Production House allows you to craft Consumables.
Q: How does the Palms Reserve Bank work in Los Angeles?
