Easy completion “The Don Is Dead” mission:Break the windows in the barber shop beforeyou begin the mission. This allows for easy shooting once the Don is shot. The recommended gun for this (and any other close range shooting mission) is the magnum. Easy money on “Horseplay” mission:For an easy $20,000, after your partner has the “package” with him, go in the house and head upstairs at the first staircase. Kill the guard with the garrote wire, then wait for the maid to leave the next room. You will hear a guard talk to her before she walks away. Kill that guard, but be careful — make sure the maid does not see you. Follow the maid through the door on the right. When she is facing away from the guard, silently kill the guard. To the left (behind the maid) you will see the money bag containing the $20,000. Always crouch and use the garrote wire so you are silent and do not get caught. Free bag of money on “Intensive Care” mission:After killing the first assassin, go to Room 6 (the Don’s hospital room) and adjust the camera until you see a bag of money. The door is locked.

Get some cover and kill Bruno’s henchmen first — they will come after you anyway. Then, throw the Molotov cocktail so it lands near enough to burn Bruno, but not kill him. He will scream and drop his weapon. You will not be able to grab him while he burns, but it will not affect your health if you try it. When the flames stop, grab him and march him to the oven. When his back is against the oven, push him back so his head and shoulders are inside it. Then, pretend like you are really trying to shove him in there with your controller. Extortion hints:-If you?re having trouble extorting business owners, destroy some of their property or hold a gun to their face. For example, the best way to take over Good Eats in Brooklyn is to gold your gun in the man?s face before reholstering it. If he refuses then simply draw your gun again and hold it to his face, repeating until he caves in. For the hotel owner in Brooklyn, hold a gun up to him, break the downstairs cupboard, blow up his safe, and then beat him into submission.-The best time to take over all the businesses and rackets is when you have reached the ?Don of New York? rank. This rank will allow you to take over anything without the need to smash things or convince the person.- Reach the Underboss rank while making sure you have the Vendetta level at a minimum. (An easy way is to bribe an FBI agent and save the game). Head to the business you want to control but don?t attack any rival family members outside and inside. Enter the business and speak with the owner, making sure you don?t break any objects or attack. Make them accept Corleone?s protection and then find the racket boss through the back door of the business. Talk to him to make the ?Buyout? option available. Following these steps carefully will ensure that you take control of businesses and rackets without force or risk of starting a mob war, resulting in maximum benefits, respect, and payday incomes.Note: Kill rival family members to gain respect after taking over a business, though you will gain heat and vendetta.Bank robbing hints:-Whether the bank is easy to rob is determined by the bank type. Banks with one room and three guards are the easiest and thus should be robbed as much as possible. Use the following method to rob these kinds of banks with being chased or getting past two shields. First bribe the cop outside before going into the bank and choking the first guard by the door. Next, head into the vault area and strangle the guard on the left. The other guard will then attack you with his billy club. Make sure to always strangle the guard on the left since he likes using his shotgun if you attack the other guard first. -When robbing big banks start the same way by bribing the cop outside and then strangling the guards inside the main room. Now hurry down toward the vault and also strangle the two guards there. Open the door and blow up the vault. Now take out your Tommy Gun to make short work of the few guards that attack while you?re fleeing the vault. Now run up the stairs and move to the right. Take another right to leave the building and reach your get-away car. You must go to your hangout to receive the money.-Note: The easiest bank to rob is the midtown bank near the apartment that the Corleone?s give you after saving Michael. You?ll receive $50,000 there.Compound hints:-Before trying to take over a compound, equip ammo for all your guns or use a powerful gun to kill other gangsters and steal their weapons. You must also always make sure to take cover.-When destroying rival family compounds, the best way is to up one building at a time. Make sure you have full ammo on all your weapons-One of the best ways to take over a compound is by killing enemies from afar and working your way in. Enemies won?t respawn as long as you stay within one city block. Be sure to hide behind objects by crouching and shoot around corners. It?s also a good idea to upgrade at least two of the pistols.-You can also run people over with your car before jumping out and using it as cover. Once inside the yard be sure to mow down any nearby enemies. If you have plenty of ammo, lure enemies outside by entering the house and shooting at the floor or any nearby enemy. Hide again and shoo them as they step outside. Now continue toward the basement and plant a bomb.-Pick off gang members guarding businesses or compounds from a long distance. This way they can?t shoot back .-Use the Street Sweeper or upgraded Tommy Gun to easily take out enemies. Dynamite and Molotov cocktails are also handy for blowing up road blocks.-The Tattaglias in northeast Brooklyn should be your first attempt at taking on a compound since they?re the weakest family in New York. However, they?re still tough to beat and thus it?s recommended you try to take them on with caution.- Find a fresh, undamaged car and blast through the roadblock by going to the far left or right. Keep driving and then use you car as a shield.Rackets hint:It?s easier to buy out rackets but you won?t get as much. For example, if you can buy out someone for $800 then you could probably make them pay you almost $900 if you find their weak spot.Warehouse hints:-Be sure to have the following items before assaulting a warehouse: pistol, shotgun, magnum, Tommy gun, six Molotovs, and about $25,000. Make sure all you guns are fully loaded. When heading toward a warehouse, first try to blow up the roadblocks. Then wait there and headshot oncoming gangsters with your pistol.? Now go into the warehouse area and stand behind boxes while shooting at enemies with your pistol or Magnum.? Have your shotgun or Tommy gun ready once you actually enter the warehouse since most enemies will also have those weapons. Kill the enemies and find the owner (he will have puppeteer hands). Buy him out, making sure you don?t hit or injure him. Now check your map to find the nearest FBI agent. Bribe him, which may cost you $3,000 but it?s less of a risk. you will now have your own warehouse and avoid a mob war at the same time.-An easy way to take a warehouse is by driving a car into the blockades and running over people. If your car catches on fire, look for a new car and continue running enemies over.Barricade hints:-Use the following method when you go to a warehouse, compound, or hub with people and cars are blocking your way. Find a truck and run into cars and people until it catches fire. Then kill anyone that?s still alive.-When destroying a barricade, stand close enough so you can lock onto a person and toss either dynamite or a Molotov cocktail. You?ll blow up the cars next to the people and clear the way toward your destination.How to become the Don of New York:To become Don of New Yorkm you must first blow up all safes. Make sure to blow up any safes while you?re taking over a business, that way you won?t have to search for them later on. You?ll also receive money, 1,000 respect, and dynamite for blowing up safes.Special kills hint:The easiest way to kill important figures that have to die a certain way (such as pushing them into a furnace or off a roof) is by luring them near the hazard you must use to kill them, before actually fighting them. Simply avoid them and run to the hazard, forcing them to come over to you. Now beat them up a bit and swing them so they have their back against the hazard you?re about to kill them with.Shooting covered enemies:Sometimes body parts of enemies, such as their head or arm, will be sticking out while taking cover. Lock onto them and move the crosshair to the exposed part of the body and shoot them.Bum respawning hint:Go to Stracci Container Park where you get the box of $120,000 in the maze. Head back until you see a wall. Turn right and kill the bum that you find there.

shot. The Assassin?s Pistol is also useful. It fires like any other
pistol while running but fires like a Tommy Gun when standing. Below are
