When you first enter Downtown Mafia, you’ll create your character and choose your race, which defines your early advantage:
The Hustler earns cash faster.
The Runner regains stamina more quickly.
The Fighter gains energy faster for more battles.
Choose wisely, your race affects how quickly you grow and what playstyle suits you best.
Once you’re set up, start exploring the core resources that drive your progress:
Cash: Earned through missions and fights. Used to buy weapons, vehicles, and businesses.
Income: Hourly profit from owned businesses.
Experience (XP): Gained from missions and fights; helps you level up.
Health, Energy, and Stamina: Consumed in fights and missions, each regenerating over time or instantly via the hospital.
Skill Points: Earned from leveling up. These boost your attack, defense, health, or regeneration stats.
Spend your early time completing missions, buying your first weapon, and training your skills. Keep your cash safe in the bank — other players can steal it in fights if it’s not deposited.
Every choice matters. The stronger your stats and gear, the faster you’ll rise from street hustler to feared mafia boss.
