Cartels and Tournaments bring the biggest and most competitive events to Downtown Mafia. They unite gangs under common colors and pit them against rival alliances from around the world.
Cartels
When your gang reaches Respect Level 30, you can form a Cartel. Each Cartel can have up to 10 gangs, but all must share the same color — either Red or Blue.
During a Tournament, when a gang from one Cartel defeats a gang from an opposing Cartel, the earned points contribute to both the gang’s and the Cartel’s total score.
At the end of each event, Cartels are ranked based on these points. The top Cartels receive massive cash rewards distributed among all members:
Rank 1: 400 Billion
Rank 2–5: 200 Billion
Rank 6–10: 100 Billion
Tournaments
Tournaments are special timed events where gangs fight to earn Tournament Points through wars, turf battles, and Deathmatches.
Each side (Red or Blue) competes to earn the most points before the timer ends. In the final hours, Heat Mode activates, doubling all points earned from wins.
Winning gangs earn special medals, diamonds, and cash bonuses. Players also receive personal rewards based on their individual performance and ranking. The top 20 players receive exclusive elite units for their achievements.
During tournaments, coordination is key. If your gang changes color mid-event or loses too many wars, it may stop contributing points until the win ratio improves.
Victory in tournaments and strong Cartel performance mark the peak of power in Downtown Mafia. Leading your gang to success here cements your legacy as one of the city’s true legends.
