Thought you’d finished with Bangkok? Think again. Return to the Far East for two all-new episodes for Bangkok, where you’ll need to fight to re-establish your hold as a major Yakuza and Triad boss. Extend your influence and consolidate your power base. It’s only a matter of time until you will be the greatest criminal in Asia, and you'll need to overthrow the Thai government to protect your criminal empire. These episodes will only unlock after you have completed episodes 5a and 5b.
Here is the breakdown of Episode 6 of the newly released Mafia Wars Bangkok chapters!
Chapter 2 Episode 6
The Yakuza Tier
The Yakuza-only "Steal an Experimental Armor Prototype" drops the Yakuza-only Titanium Mesh Jacket (armor; 31 attack, 46 defense). This is a slight upgrade (+1 armor) over the Executive Overcoat).
The Titanium Mesh Jacket is Yakuza-only.
The Triad Tier
The Triad-only "Extort the Consortium's Remaining Officers" drops the Triad-only Raed Armored Sedan (vehicle; 30 attack, 47 defense). I want my Pirates from farming Lloyds Spectres back!
The Raed Armored Sedan is Triad-only
Tips
Both tiers contain upgrades over previous tiers. I am going with Triad since the Raed Armored Sedan is a bigger upgrade (+2 defense over Lloyds Spectre) than the Titanium Mesh Jacket (+1 defense over the Executive Overcoat).
Chapter 3 Episode 6
The Yakuza Tier
The Yakuza-only "Acquire Information On A Government Supporter" job drops the Yakuza-only Ninja (armor; 47 attack, 35 defense). This is a 2 attack upgrade over the Shturmovik (45 attack).
The Ninja is Yakuza-only.
The Triad Tier
The Triad-only "Bribe a Royal Thai Army Colonel" job drops the Triad-only Nak Kha Shotgun (weapon; 47 attack, 31 defense). Nice upgrade over the Ubijca Assault Rifle / Tanto (+4 defense; both of these items have 43 attack).
The Nak Kha Shotgun is Triad-only.
Tips
Once again, both choices contain upgrades over the previous tiers. Triad is a bigger upgrade however and I already have a good chunk of better armor pieces than the Ninja (Yakuza Assassin) from the faction store, so I am thinking the Nak Kha Shotgun is a better option.
For mastering Episode 6, the reward is the Xinthriy Executive Jet: 78 attack, 125 defense (vehicle; this will replace the Royal Thai Elephant which will become an animal).
It's possible that Episode 7 has better loot in one of these categories, but is highly unlikely. Given this split, I'm expecting we'll see the 2 best-in-slot animals in Episode 7, along with a new best-in-slot offensive vehicle and defensive weapon.
