Racket-related missions Mafia III Guide
Last update: 31 October 2016
The rackets taken over by Lincoln have a determined income level. This income can be increased by completing the optional missions related to the city districts. These missions are simple and very similar to each other (for example Lincoln must steal a truck with alcohol instead of a boat with drugs). The general principles of these missions are presented below. You can complete them until the income in an illegal racket reaches maximum level or until you find it enjoyable. Once your income reaches the maximum level, you must wait until Lincoln's underboss receives new districts to control and thus expands his influence.
Missions related to Cassandra
Prostitution and heroin rackets are automatically taken over by Cassandra. Because of that, optional missions related to Delray Hollow are given to you by Emmanuel Lazare who works for her. This happens during the "Are We Cool" missions. You can complete first such task after murdering Ritchie Doucet and giving Cassandra full control of Delray Hollow.
These missions start with you stealing a boat from Dixie gang's hideout located somewhere on the bayou. Before getting close to the boat, you should get rid of all nearby enemies. Otherwise Lincoln will be automatically detected and attacked after he takes place in the boat and starts it.
After stealing the boat you must get it to the place marked by the game where a drug drop will occur. Swim with the boat towards the drifting cargos and press the correct button (by default Q in PC version) in order to take them. Once you gather all the chests, swim towards the harbor and dock the boat in the marked location (the circle must change color to blue).
Finally you must leave the boat and transport the cargo to the destination by using a truck. When controlling the boat and the truck you shouldn't be attacked by anyone, but watch out not to destroy the vehicles (or drive the boat on the land).
Missions related to Burke
Paid security and moonshine rackets are taken over by Burke. Due to that, the optional missions related to their expansions are given to you by Burke's daughter Nicki as part of "The Righteously Fucked" missions. The first such mission can be completed after murdering the Butcher and thus giving Burke control over Pointe Verdun.
The missions start with you having to steal a truck with alcohol from Dixie gang's hideout located somewhere on the bayou. Before getting close to the vehicle, first try to get rid of all nearby enemies. Otherwise Lincoln will be automatically detected and attacked after entering the car. Once you clear the area, enter the vehicle, drive outside the enemy camp and transport the alcohol to Pointe Verdun. You shouldn't be harassed by anyone on your way, but watch out so that you don't destroy the vehicle for example by hitting another vehicle or an indestructible obstacle at high speed.
Missions related to Vito
Contraband and extortion rackets are taken over by Vito. Due to that, optional missions related to expansion of these rackets are given to you by Alma as part of "Seems Simple Enough" missions. You can complete the first such mission after kidnapping Michael Grecco and thus giving Vito full control over River Row.
These missions start with you having to steal a truck with cargo from Fixie gang's hideout located somewhere on the bayou. Before getting close to the vehicle, try eliminating all nearby enemies. Otherwise Lincoln will be automatically detected and attacked. Depending on mission type, the truck can have a trailer attached or you will be forced to attach one yourself. In the latter case find the trailer, look behind, turn the reverse gear on and slowly drive towards the trailer (an example is shown on the above picture). Once you position the truck in the right place, press the button that will allow you to attack the trailer.
The truck with the cargo must reach one of Vito's rackets. You shouldn't be harassed by anyone while driving, but you must watch out and avoid knocking the truck over or blocking it in narrow spaces. You must especially watch out when performing a narrow turn - you can easily block yourself at a tree, indestructible post or a building. Slow down before such turns and precisely perform the maneuver. Once you reach the destined location, you must park the truck in the circle and leave it.
