Got 100 M4A1's, now what?

[mesab0ogie]

Been looting m4a1s for a few weeks nw n got a 100 of them. its starting to get really boring so im looking for other things to loot. Tried armored trucks at chinatown n devlish taxis but the drop rate is really really horrible. i spend 3-4000 energy for 2-3 of those. at least with the m4a1s i get at least 1-2 with 1000 energy. any suggestions?

....200....

[ShotInTheDark]

yeah... if you don't like the drop rate of anything else then just go for 200...

[Markkemark]

It seems to be the best loot item...so equip each of your mafia with one unless you have better like gold items

[heath4pack]

Dang...I only have 15 so far

[Joeycool]

go back and master some area's if you've not yet done so. You get some good items from that. Plus you get an additional skill point.

You have or will have 500mafia, don't stop til you get enough!

[Ghost818]

i have 159 :)

[martMode]

it depends on how long more you want to play cc...

havesting 1-2 M4A1s a day, you will need another 200 days to get another 400 more to equip your 500 max mob. no other gun comes close, except the sawn-offs... only the RPGs are better. of course if you put money into the game, then this is not a gun you want.

i would try to get 500 of these guns, or at least, a balance between the number of sawn-off + M4A1s be equal to 500...

where do you get the M4A1?

[mesab0ogie]

thing is im awfully short on vehicles. at 170ish mafia i think only half of them are equipped with vehicles. been spending all my respect points on yamaha bikes, but only got around 40 so far. Was hoping there are some nice vehicles i can farm.

Anyway m4a1s are at boardwalk shooting range. i wouldnt bother with the blue dumpster. horrible drop rate.

[sterling21jj]

Thank You Mesaboogie:)

You can farm Devilish taxi's from the Junkyard Flattend cars. They are ever so slightly better than Mustangs. I have 70 Mustangs, 121 bikes, 20 taxi's, 12 viper's, 20 armored police, ~30+ good loot vehicles from rewards and 60+$$$ vehicles.

I'm still at 351/430 vehicles but with all my respect going into bikes I know by the time I have 500 vehicles they will potentially be the strongest part of my mafia. Im not going to waste $$$ on weak vehicles just to fill the spots. I also like the idea of my mafia going into battle being lead by a Trick or Treat, some viper's and 100's of bikes.

So where do u get the M4's???

If you are short on vehicles why spend respect on bikes - buy mustangs!

Now the maths.

Bike 13/12 325 respect = a ratio of 25/27 respect per point (or 13 respect per point in total)
Mustang 6/4 125 respect = a ratio of 20/31 respect per point (12.5 resect per point in total)
So if you are attacking minded, the mustang is a better plus you can equip faster.

Only once you fill your mafia with mustangs do you start to buy bikes (to replace junkers)

One reason is a lot of people are keeping their mafias small. If they only need to equip 100 mafia do this math:

100 mafia w/mustangs = 600/400

100 mafia w/race bikes = 1300/1200

I use the full mafia for my level(lvl 69 with 25 mustangs and 69 race bikes), and I guess I have the fear that I will eventually be replacing the mustangs with better vehicles. The last thing I want to run into in the long run is replacing respect items because their stats aren't high enough. I haven't really done any long term statistical simulations or calculations so maybe my thinking is wrong.
