Government War: Stockpile Smart, Strike Hard
Hey, fellow Underbosses! Government War (GovWar) is looming on the horizon, and if you want to come out on top, preparation is everything. This isn’t just about flexing your crew’s muscle—it’s about stacking the right resources and playing the long game. The key? Hoarding investment speed-ups, general speed-ups, training speed-ups, energy for kingpins, wheel event packs, and family currency/insignia. But here’s the catch: the game’s gonna tempt you to burn through it all before the war even starts. Let’s break it down so you’re ready to dominate when the time comes.
Stockpile Speed-Ups: Resist the Pre-War Traps
Investment speed-ups, general speed-ups, and training speed-ups are your lifeline in GovWar. They’ll let you rush critical upgrades, build your turf faster, and pump out stronger associates when the clock’s ticking. The trick is to stockpile them now and hold off on using them. Why? Because the game loves to throw curveballs like the GovWar Pre-Event and Hellcat Hell Events your way. These events are designed to drain your reserves with juicy rewards and urgent tasks—don’t fall for it! Sure, you might snag some quick wins, but you’ll be left scrambling when GovWar hits. Keep those speed-ups locked away until you’re in the thick of the war, where every second counts.
Energy for Kingpins: Save It for the Big Fight
Kingpins are a goldmine during GovWar—defeating them racks up points, drops sweet loot, and boosts your faction’s morale. But you need energy to take them down, and that’s where discipline comes in. Don’t waste your energy stash on random kingpin hunts or daily tasks right now. The pre-events might tempt you to flex on a Level 4 or 5 kingpin, but hold off. Stack that energy high and unleash it when GovWar kicks off. You’ll want to hit those high-level kingpins hard and fast to maximize your faction’s gains, so conserve every drop until then.
Wheel Event Packs: Grab ‘Em, Don’t Spin ‘Em
Don’t sleep on the Wheel Event either—it’s a sleeper hit for growth. Here’s the kicker: get those packs whenever you can, but save them up and only spin the wheel during Governor’s War. On certain Governor’s War days, spinning the wheel racks up solid points, giving you an edge in those events. Plus, it’s a goldmine for enforcer growth and gear upgrades in the meantime. Tokens and gear from the wheel can beef up your enforcers, making your crews tougher very fast!
Family Currency and Insignia: Point Powerhouses
Finally, let’s talk family currency and family insignia. These are your secret weapons for racking up points in GovWar. Whether it’s through donations, faction tasks, or event rewards, start piling them up now. The game might nudge you to spend them early on minor upgrades, but resist. Save them for GovWar, where they’ll fuel your climb up the ranks and keep your family in the fight.
The Bottom Line
Government War is a marathon, not a sprint. The game will do everything it can to trick you into blowing your stash early—pre-events, Hellcat challenges, you name it. Stay sharp, stack your speed-ups, energy, wheel spins, and family resources, and only unleash them when the war’s on. That’s how you turn your turf into a powerhouse and leave the competition in the dust. Get ready, Underboss—GovWar’s coming, and it’s time to show ‘em who runs this city!
