Downtown | Act III Omerta: CoG Guide

Mission rewards:

• Unique Weapon: The Trench Knife (Knife)
• Unique Weapon: Raja (Bat)
• Unique Weapon: Lullaby (Shotgun)

This is probably one of the easiest missions in the game. Mr. Smith wants you to help him win an election; to that end you're going to have to ensure him the support of six different districts. Begin with the classics: build a Protection Racket, Bookmaker and a Soup Kitchen. Upgrade them as soon as possible so that your Feared (Protection Racket) and Liked (Soup Kitchen) ratings increase to 60. Make sure to uncover other parts of the city.

Secure Mr. Smith a victory in the coming election.

You can gain the support in seven locations, each with different conditions:

• You must have a Soup Kitchen
• You have to drive out (fight) or hire (80 Feared, $1000) the local thugs
• 60 Liked rating
• 60 Feared rating
• Establish a Labor Union
• Organize 3 charity events at the city officials'
• Build 3 buildings on Construction Lots

I suggest beginning by increasing the Feared and Liked ratings and setting up a Labor Union. Once upgraded, it will generate huge amounts of cash, allowing you to easily accomplish the other tasks. The objectives are so simple that it doesn't matter how you complete them, you practically can't lose.

One of seven available objectives. Setup a Soup Kitchen.

In the meantime, make sure to purchase every unique weapon in the city. Local crime lords have two of them, buy the last one from the official.

Each crime lord has a unique weapon.

After winning over six neighborhoods, it will turn out that somebody has stolen a ballot box and you have to find it. First, check the three buildings behind the city hall. Then, go to the local prison - here you can either bribe the supervisor or send one of your men on reconnaissance (he'll be put in prison for a day). The ballot box is kept in the residence of one of the convicts. When you get to the first apartment, you'll have a choice: escape (one of your men will be imprisoned) or fight. Since there are only few battles in this mission, go ahead and select the latter.

One of few battles in Downtown.

When it's over, go to the apartment of the other convict. There will be another battle, and when you win, the mission will successfully end.
