The Mafia Wars 2nd expansion into Moscow is now here. Fairly quickly after entering and completing several jobs you will be forced to pick a side … Vory or Mafiya. We will utilize this guide to relay to you what each side offers.

As you are entering Moscow for the first time … don’t worry too much about which side that you pick. Zynga has conveniently allowed everyone to pick a side after mastering a level of a particular job. It will only remain as it is forever for level 3.

Frequently Asked Questions

When do I pick my Moscow side Vory or Mafiya?

• in the second chapter of each episode, and you can change at each mastery

Does which side I’ve chosen affect my mafia members or who I can fight against?

• NO!! There are no impacts to whom you can fight against based upon your Moscow faction. This choice merely appears to affect only a couple jobs on the episode.

Moscow
Baklany

• Mafiahaven.net Recommendation: Pick Mafiya for better loots, Molotok Pistol with 26 defense stats offer better alternative as defensive weapon, compare to Vory’s loots, Cherepakha Compact with only 25 defense stats, easily outclassed by bunches of Cuban defensive vehicle.

Faction	Item	Name	Attack	Defense	Job
Mafiya		Molotok Pistol	22	26	Collect the Hit Payoff
Vory		Cherepakha Compact	18	25	Collect the Ransom

Boets

• Mafiahaven.net Recommendation: Mafiya, because with Vory you need 40 more Concealable Cameras. Before this, the Concealable Cameras were not spent after the mission, but Zynga fixed this and now you have to spend the Concealable Cameras on the job.
