Getting Started in Mobrift – A Beginner's Guide

Starting out in Mobrift isn't about becoming a powerful mafia boss overnight. You begin with very little, and you'll have to work your way up. At first, even a few hundred dollars can make a difference.

If you're new to the game, here are a few things worth knowing before you get too ambitious.

Your First Crimes

Theft is a good place to start exploring. Open the crime menu and take a look at the available jobs. Each one shows you the chance of success, the possible reward and how much energy you'll need.

Don't expect every attempt to work. You will fail sometimes, especially while your character is still inexperienced. That's part of the game.

The more you play, the better you'll understand which activities are worth your time and which risks you'd rather avoid.

Don't Spend Everything at Once

Money can disappear surprisingly quickly when you're starting out.

You'll need it for equipment, trading and other activities, so there's no reason to spend everything as soon as you earn it.

Take a look around the shop and market. Some criminal activities require particular items, and having the right equipment can open up opportunities that would otherwise be unavailable.

You don't need to own everything immediately. Buy what you actually need and save the rest for later.

Try Stealing a Car

Vehicle theft is one of the activities worth checking out early on.

You'll find different cars with their own values, conditions and chances of being stolen successfully. A cheap, older car might not look particularly exciting, but attempting to steal an expensive vehicle isn't always the smartest move.

Pay attention to the success percentage, energy cost and equipment requirements before making your choice.

As you progress, you'll gain access to more valuable vehicles. There's also a garage, a scrapyard and other vehicle-related activities to explore.

Make Time for Training

Earning money is useful, but your character needs to improve too.

Training helps develop your abilities, while experience allows you to progress through the criminal ranks. Different activities also have their own proficiency systems.

Don't ignore character development just because you've found a way to make money. Higher ranks and better skills will give you more options as you continue playing.

There's More to Explore

Once you've tried a few crimes, have a look at the rest of the game.

Drug trading offers another way to earn money, although you'll need to consider the investment and the possibility of losing some of it. There are also properties to purchase, auctions to explore and activities such as boxing, car racing and dog racing.

You can join a gang, communicate with other players and eventually get involved in bigger conflicts.

Some of these things won't be available to you straight away. That's intentional. There's plenty to work towards as your character develops.

Take Your Time

Mobrift isn't a game where everything happens instantly. Many activities use energy and have waiting times, so you'll need to decide what to do next rather than clicking the same button endlessly.

You can play for a while, return later and continue building your character. There's no need to rush through everything on your first day.

The game is still in open beta, and we're adjusting different parts of the experience as testing continues. If something feels confusing, too difficult or simply not enjoyable, we'd like to know.

Mobrift is free to play and available in English, German, Spanish and Hungarian.
