Weapons & ammunition
Quick notes
- Keep track of rounds left in the magazine. The original Mafia can discard ammunition remaining in a magazine when it is replaced.
- Use corners as physical cover. This game does not use Mafia II’s dedicated cover system.
- Treat medical cabinets as limited supplies. Health does not simply recover after every firefight.
- Choose a weapon for the distance. A shotgun is valuable inside a room, while a rifle or accurate handgun serves longer sightlines.
Use corners as physical cover
| Situation | Response | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Partly used magazine | Delay an unnecessary reload | Preserves remaining ammunition |
| Several shooters ahead | Fight from a corner | Limits simultaneous lines of fire |
| Low health | Locate a medical cabinet if accessible | Damage persists between encounters |
| Weapon empty under fire | Move behind cover or switch | Avoids an exposed reload |
