I started this late last night and just now had time to put some finishing touches on it. Ok, I have been crunching some numbers and have come up with the following statistics:

If you are NOT an Agent or Goodfella:



You gain 3 energy per minute. So you can do the Boardwalk Shooting Game (BSG) for 135 EN every 45 minutes. At this ratio you can do the BSG a maximum of 32 times in a day.
You can do the Junkyard Hide Supplies (JHS) for 57 EN every 19 minutes. At this ratio you can do the JHS a maximum of 75 times in a day.*


If you are an Agent or Goodfella:

You gain 3.33 energy per minute. You can do the BSG every 41 minutes. At this ratio you can do the BSG a maximum of 35 times in a day.
You can do the Junkyard Hide Supplies (JHS) for 57 EN every 17 minutes. At this ratio you can do the JHS a maximum of 84 times in a day.*


To hit the BSG a maximum amount of hits in one sitting, you need 4,795 energy in the bank. If you put every skill point you get into energy, you wouldn’t be able to accomplish 4,800 energy until level 160. (Not recommended).

With my ratio of 1 in 5 hits at the BSG, I should get an average of 7 M4 A1’s in a day. Expending 675 EN and gaining 215 exp per gun.№ Now, of course I don’t, sometimes more/less. Ok, so an average of 7 M4A1’s a day, that means a maximum of +140 attack and +154 defense.

With whocareswhatmynameis’ ratio of 1 in 7 hits at the BSG, you should get an average of 5 M4 A1’s in a day. Expending 913 EN and gaining 292 exp per gun. An average of 5 M4A1’s a day means a maximum of +100 attack and +110 defense.№

I don't have a ratio for the Junkyard as of yet, maybe someone can fill this part in.

This is as far as I’m going to go with this, just wanted to share my findings. Please don’t hesitate to question my math, because I’m rubbish at it. What I’m wondering is if our energy could be better allocated somewhere else? If of course our goal is indeed maximum attack/defense per mafia member.

*JHS - I have not been able to loot from JHS since I was level 75, im guessing. (Level 83 at the time of this post.)
№ = Thank you to whocareswhatmynameis for this data!

I don't think energy can be better spent than farming, but that's just my opinion. My goal isn't max atk/def per member, my goal is max atk def in total - the per member ratio is just a way to keep track of how strong my high is and how weak my low is.

What other jobs could you do that will result in a similar weapon/reward? I don't know of any. What I do know is I'm in it for the long haul - and it's a long-ass haul - so I'm gonna keep doing them.

I think 1:5 in BSG is the best ratio you could have these days. Normally one get 4-5/day in BSG.

It's also about 4-5 M4A1/ day in JHS if you invest all your energies to that place.

P/S: I don't know why I still getting M4A1 from those 2 places, many people complain that they get nothing these days.

Exactly, I don't get it from the JHS anymore. That's why I don't have a ratio for it. I have hit it so many times with no loot result that I have given up.

here we go again... yet ANOTHER M4A1 thread~ but hey, it's one powerful weapon and it's free! so, i don't blame you for starting a thread. ;)

anyways, let me help you by providing empirical data. i conducted an experiment a couple of weeks ago looking at drop rate at boardwalk (also tried junkyard but quickly realized that the drop rate was really, really terrible). so let me share with you my finding:

since nov 19 (18 days observation), i have collected 97 M4A1s. that's 5.4 per day. but this is clearly not the best measurement because there are times i forget to login to play and of course i have to sleep (my energy bar fills every 5 hours). so i have used 3 other metrics to evaluate drop rate- mission, experience and energy.

1. mission: i've done 656 missions to get 97, equals 1 drop per 6.8 missions.

2. experience: 6.8 * 43 = 292, which means you will have gained 292 experience by the time you get 1 M4A1.

3. energy: 6.8 * 135 = 913. here the interpretation is you will expend 913 energy to obtain a single M4A1.

all three can be applied when comparing drop rates between different players with different playing styles... the same cannot be said of drop per day.

also, for comparison between players hitting the same area (e.g. boardwalk), metric #1 (mission) is sufficient. but, if you want to make comparison between boardwalk and junkyard to find which has the most efficient drop rate, i would go with #2 and #3.

hope this helps!

Thanks a lot for your input, this really does help. If my brain didn't hurt so much already, I would plug that data in now :p Simple equations I know, I just get burned out quick when it comes to math.

sure thing. if you want to compute drop rate for junkyard, the multipliers are 13 (experience) and 57 (energy).

I have been tracking more against level/experience trying to max forming while leveling at a moderate pace. I have been farming the Junkyard since level 30 and now have 84 M4A1s at level 50. I have also spent 50% to 75% of my time PVP (earning enough R to get 49 race bikes in about the same period). So I have averaged about 4 per level but generally I think I have averaged between 10 and 20 hits per M4A1 which puts me at 130 to 260 xp per. However, it has been much worse over the last 5 levels. Hope this info helps.

12-07-2011, 09:54 PM
i have averaged about 20 a week since i got this lead from this forum. doing maybe 20% a day on the game goals, the rest harvesting these free M4A1s...

i also had some dry runs at the junkyard. gave that up.

Anubis
12-08-2011, 03:37 AM
I'm on a dry patch for the last two days. Only got one. The last time I had a dry patch it ended getting 4 in a row. If the drop rate is around 20%, then you could inevitably hit it many times without anything.

Wow, look out for 'Payam' Hes level 100 and does not have a single M4.

His att is 40,000, defence 42,800. Its all from pure gold. I just quickly att him to see what showed up:

Multiple top range gold weapons like 3 Quattro's (2250 gold), 10 Cyber bikes (3500 gold), 10 Mesh COmbat Gears (4000 gold), lol21 Poison Gas Bombs (630 gold), 10 Bloody Mayhems (6000 gold), 10 Tech Gattling guns (8000 gold), 1x Urban Ops Mask (480 gold), 10 Mesh Combat Gear (4000 gold), a Chemical Launcher (850 gold) , 12 Ballistic Armors (1800gold), 5 Ghosts (1400 gold), a Trick or Treat (900 gold), 2 Anti Air Missiles (900 gold), a Speed Demon (400 gold), 22 Night Vision MAR's (6600 gold), 2x Contraband Runners (500 gold), 9x Strangler Gloves (2250 gold), 10x Armor Piercers (2750 gold), 1x Veyron (500 gold), 2x Murder Axe (600gold), 9x Crushing Gattling Guns (1800 gold), 10x Silent Killers (2200 gold), 10x Armored Hummers (1200 gold), 9x Gut Rippers (1125 gold), 13x FAMAS G2 Rifles (1300 gold) 2x MAss Carnage 320 gold), 95x 30-60 gold itesms (around 4275 gold) and most likely some other stuff I missed.

That totals an approximation of 60,530 Gold on weapons which is a minimum of Ј2824 or $4237.

Its funny people on his comments page asking for help. Only advice he is qualified to give is 'Buy gold'. 'lots of gold'.

And u know what he post on those HLs' wall? "If u happen to come across this person called blah..blah.., pls atk him for me" If he had bought so much gold and still goes ard asking ppl for help, its just shows that he's a coward with lots of real cash. How to take advice from this kind of empty-brained player?

Finally got my first M4A1 this morning. I was able to hit BSG 7 times and I got it on the sixth try. That's also the first PvE loot I have seen in at least a week, but at least now I know that my game isn't likely bugging out.

Not when it comes to loot anyways.

I see some guys play with gold & never care about M4A1, since they are too strong, adding hundreds M4A1s may not help much. I remember checking one guy in this forum nycpizzalover, he also does not have many M4A1 (he knew where to loot M4A1), he has many gold weapons already.

I live at the boardwalk now. I was having trouble getting the M4A1s anywhere else, and in just a day and a half I've managed to get 13 at boardwalk.

My story mode levels are finished up to west side, and the next couple after that are close, but then I realized I should be farming the jobs instead of just doing them to say they're done.

As long as I can get 5-8 m4a1s per day it seems worth it for now.

Edit: I wish I had been joking Dorian, but they really to gather at the shooting game for me! They're protecting their precious M4A1s! Lol

As I hinted in the title, I realized that I was beating a dead horse. I just thought I had some new information for people, and didn't want it to get buried in another thread.

I've been farming for M4s ever since the light bulb of strategy went on and have had some days where absolutely nothing appears, and some days I get 5 or 6. Some days I get two in a row, and some I get 1 every 10 tries.

I ran across someone who had over 400 M4s. Yikes. I only wish I had caught on to this immediately when the Boardwalk became available. I no longer try to max the missions (am maxed up to Fish Market), I just farm, farm, farm. Is there any advantage to maxing the missions?

Along the same lines - if someone farms out 500 M4s (the max number usable for their mafia), that would pretty much make anything below it (in terms of stats) useless, correct?

M4A1 update:

period of observation: dec 5th to jan 4th (30 days)
M4A1s looted: 119
mission hits: 870

loot per day: 3.97
hits needed to loot 1 M4A1: 7.31

the drop rate for shooting range at boardwalk seems to be holding steady. although slightly lower than mid-november (1 drop per 5.5 hits), the current finding is comparable to beginning of december (7.43).

as any experiment, you should interpret my results with caution. this is but an observation by a single individual. time of day of M4A1 farming, and specific looting strategies as suggested by Khung may yield different results. of course, chance should also be factored in the equation.

I must be doing somthing right as I seem to have a few more m4 a1s than most dedicated members on here (iv snooped in your hoods btw). That said i purely farm m4s with my energy nothing else......

Most people quit wasting their time on the storyline by about level 60 or so. It's a great trap to get you to spend lots of money on weapons you don't need and fall behind your rivals in the stats department.

Almost all the weak players at higher levels have a couple things in common:

1. They followed the storyline far too long
2. They prefer robberies over fights.

If you want to be a strong player, farm quality weapons with your energy and fight a lot for drops.

Most people quit wasting their time on the storyline by about level 60 or so. It's a great trap to get you to spend lots of money on weapons you don't need and fall behind your rivals in the stats department.

Almost all the weak players at higher levels have a couple things in common:

1. They followed the storyline far too long
2. They prefer robberies over fights.

If you want to be a strong player, farm quality weapons with your energy and fight a lot for drops.

You're preaching to the choir. I absolutely agree with you.

I bring you monthly update on my M4A1 farming adventure. This month, lady luck has smiled upon me. To be honest, I wouldn't call it luck. It's just that a new locale was open for business… you know what I mean, PACKER HEIGHTS… the product of a tussle with a certain lady who goes by the name of Nadya Ivanov!

So here is the breakdown. I have divided the stat into two, before and after Nadya.

Jan 5-Jan 22 (BOARDWALK):
M4A1: 65; mission: 542; hit required for 1 M4A1: 8.3 (energy: 1121)
loot/day: 3.6

Jan 23-Feb 4 (PH):
M4A1: 103; mission: 341; hit required for 1 M4A1: 3.3 (energy: 561)
loot/day: 7.9

Looking at the data, it is clear that Packer Height is where the M4A1 action is. Hope this is helpful. This is probably going to be my last monthly update. I have a feeling that if the current trend holds, I'll be done with M4A1 farming within 7-10 days.

I agree on Packer Heights but periodically, I get the cold shoulder from Nadya and I switch to BW and then come back. I did that recently and got 12 from Miss N in the last 18 hrs. I crossed 300 last night - now at 310 - and hopefully will be done in the next week or two.

Thats some awesome results mate. I must have missed threads on Nadya. Does she have a chance to drop per click?

I ask because I have attacked her 15 times with no luck.

Cheers.

yes, M4A1 drop is per click. she's been fickle the past 2 days. i am hoping this is just a fluke. FUNZIO is known to have nerfed other loot sites.

Make sure you're using the latest version. The previous one did not allow for multi-tap jobs to drop loot.

ok so it just got worse....im now 0-40.

Want to ask, are u guys getting cash drops per click also? cos I'm only getting it on the final (5th) attack.

I'm thinking its just prob bugged for me.

unlike M4A1, cash drop occurs only on the 5th attack. are you sure you are playing the latest CC update (data: 20120130_1)?

Folks, I have finally come to the end of my M4A1 quest within the timeframe I predicted in my last post. That's what I call a photo finish. To be honest, it wouldn't have taken me this long had Nadya not been desultted (not my word, credit TS:)). For those who are still in the hunt, keep working at it... BW has a decent drop rate.

It's amazing how much time it took me to fully stock my M4A1 arsenal- 4 months! As I reminisce my journey, I am reminded of the frenzy at the beginning when a determined few tried to keep its location a secret. Thanks to Dfeziggy (i don't see him/her around anymore), the locations were made public knowledge. As I went up the levels, I farmed different locations... junkyard blue scrapbox, then shooting range on boardwalk, followed by Nadya at Park Height and finally back to BW. I would like to thank all who helped me along the way... you know who you are http://bravellir.com/gallery/d/7052-1/bow.gif.

Funzio needs to create a new gun to replace the M4A1 for those of us who started in February 12 or later!
How about the Heckler & Koch HK416 with att:20 def:20 to "BALANCE" with those who have 100's of M4A1's.

I think Funzio should bring it back and put it in the events and remove that stupid baton and or the bike. Funzio should tier the weapons in the events that are recieved when successfully opening an task. Just like they teir the lower level weapons and stats for the whole event except the 10th item. They even tier the cash. So why not give higher levels a better weapon, besides something that doesnt move your stats at all. I feel cheated when I get one of those items. I would rather have respect points or money
