Robbing (old)

Robbing Basics
Robbing uses the same combat calculation used for Fights. However, unlike a Fight or Hitlist which uses up to 501 players from your Mafia, the number of Mafia members you can bring to a Robbery is limited to your level.

Likewise, the defending player can only bring a Mafia equal to their level. So generally speaking, it's much more difficult to rob someone higher level and much easier to rob someone who is lower level.

When one player robs another, they are effectively attacking the property of the player rather than the player themselves. The property takes the damage -- not the defending player. Once a property has been damaged enough, it can no longer be attacked until the property owner pays for repairs.

Robbing provides a bigger cash bonus that Fights, but doesn't drop special Loot Items.

Robbing was not available in Moscow or Cuba.

Unlocked
The ability to Rob other players unlocks at Level 15.

Robbing Disabled
Zynga ended the Beta for Robbing in September 24 2009 and it is currently not available in-game. Zynga plans to bring back robbing with additional features and it is presumed that it will be released alongside a new Rackets system for all players.

Safe Cracker
The % bonus to Cash from Fights for a Top Mafia Safe Cracker is determined by the number of successful Heists (or Robberies) the Mafia member has completed. It takes 50,000+ Heists to provide the maximum 15% bonus.
