There's free money all over Mafia 3 that you can get as you go through each racket. The money generated across Mafia rackets is called kickbacks. You need it in so many different ways. Here's an in-depth guide on how and where to collect kickbacks straight from the desks of Mafia 3 creatives:
Get Kickbacks From Gangsters
As Mafia 3 executive producer Andy Wilson said, Lincoln Clay can get money in many ways. One simple and stress-free way to collect kickbacks is from random gangsters you encounter in every racket along the way. You can take them down for kickbacks. For lucky ones, you may get tip-offs on high-value targets. As you make your way to those targets, you get access to more and more cash over time.
With this money, you can exchange them for more powerful weaponry like light grenades. Always remember though that there are weapons available free of charge so you better save up those cash in your wallet at some point.
Get Heaps Of Kickbacks By Recruiting Racket Bosses
Mafia 3 senior writer Ed Fowler meanwhile divulged that the greatest way to make money is to recruit racket bosses. Take note not to kill racket bosses because doing so will only gain you little amount of kickbacks than recruiting them.
Get Tip-offs To Kickbacks Storage
As mentioned, you might be able to bump into random gangsters in rackets who may tip you off to kickbacks. Mafia 3 lead gameplay designer Adam Bormann shared that you can actually interrogate people as well to lead you to where a different racket is storing all their kickbacks. Make sure to run after them as there might be heaps of cash up for grabs.
Warning When Collecting Kickbacks
Collecting kickbacks comes with a few reminders from the creators of Mafia 3. First and foremost, do not just keep your money in your wallet. Make sure to have them picked up when reaching the $140,000 cap because underbosses will stop generating money from there. Aside from that, you will lose a huge chunk of that cash if you die while it is in your wallet. To raise the $140,000 cap, make sure to build better relationship with your underbosses.
Mafia 3 is now available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.
