"Brazil is a beast, so you’ll need to bring your friends to help out. We added a cool new feature in Brazil that helps you do jobs, fight, rob, and collect from properties more easily and quickly. Ask your Mafia to join your Brazil Crew, which is displayed right above your Jobs, Fighting, and Properties pages. Once a Mafia member accepts your Crew request, you can add that person to one of 8 spots available in your Crew. A Crew member can help you get double loot for your next 20 jobs, assist you for the next 50 fights without using any stamina, or protect your Properties from being robbed for the next 18 hours. We listened to user feedback and went back to the basics with a simplified version of Jobs that prominently displays the beautiful artwork of Brazil. There are no fight or social paths like in Italy and Las Vegas, and all jobs within a district are open once you unlock each of the five districts in Brazil. Certain jobs require gated loot items like a local informant, gas can, or button camera to progress. Your new Brazil properties unlock when you finish the first job in each district. Like other city-expansion properties, you can make money and items. But we’ve added practical items that you use for jobs and fighting. You can make gated loot items like a local informant from your Workshop or get bonus energy from your Refinery, and bonus stamina from your Barracks. Additionally, you’ll have a chance to earn the “Precious Items” collection when you collect from your Brazil properties. Get all 7 special gems and make sure to vault the set in your Inventory under “Collections and Vault.” Protecting your items is just as important because rivals will be able to rob from your Precious Items set. Bring the heat. Brazil is ready for you."
