Income Activities | World War I AC: Syndicate Guide

In this category you will find missions that focus on generating profits in the form of money and crafting materials. You will gain access to them after completing sequence number three. Once that happens, find Topping and Ned on the map (T and N letters). After the conversation with each of them, various activities will appear on the map. For completing them you will usually receive large amounts of money.

You can repeat these missions, they reset after some time. Fist fights can be repeated immediately after the previous ones, the same goes for races.

Fight Club

The rules in the club are simple. You win all rounds = you gain the maximum reward. Depending on the difficulty level, the reward in each club will be different, just as the number of rounds and the level of enemies. Fighting in clubs with recommended level higher than your current character level is pointless, as even if you manage to win few rounds it will take large amounts of time due to the resistance of opponents.

Try to first eliminate one enemy and only after that focus your attacks on the next one.

After each round you can retreat. If you will do it you will receive smaller reward than if you would win all the rounds and remain on the ring to the end. However, if you won't do it and lose, you won't receive anything. Keep that in mind and resign from battle when your health is at low level. Health points do not regenerate between the rounds, you cannot use the medicine as well - the only way of regaining health is performing a series of kills.

Have in mind that there will be more enemies during the next rounds.

The fights are repeatable - during each round you will be attacked by a group of enemies, defeating them will allow you to leave the club with the reward or continue the battle. When fighting enemies, remember about counterattacking and the possibility to perform a series of kills. You can prepare yourself the ground for a series by reducing the health of at least two enemies almost to zero and then performing normal attacks. When the enemies will be near each other, a brutal series will be performed, killing all that have small amount of energy at once (Combat Stamina skill is related to that. Until you unlock it, you must rely only on counterattacking).

Street Racing

Street races are another activity delivered by Topping. There are various types of racing:

- a carriage race with laps and enemies,

- a carriage race with time limit from one point to another,

- a carriage race with a train (similar to time trial),

- triathlon (a race with carriage combined with running and climbing).

Part in the carriage, part on foot - triathlon combines running, driving and climbing.

During the races you should mostly watch out when turning. Try to avoid using the "drift", as it could cause you to lose control of the vehicle. Keep attention to the checkpoints (they inform you about the direction and method, for example that it's time to switch to running in the triathlon) and don't bypass them. If the time runs out, you lose. If opponents are first at the finish line you can still obtain the reward, but it will be smaller. You can also try to block and ram the enemies during the race.

Important: Due to the bad driving mechanic, the race is not the best way of earning money. Very often you might lose due to a game error and not receive anything. The methods of earning described below are much better.

Cargo Hijack

If you will jump on the carriage quickly and undetected, you won't have to fight at all.

During these missions you must go to the Blighters territory and steal a guarded vehicle. Then you must escape with it while enemies are attacking you. It's quite easy. Most of all, there's no point in focusing on combat. Remain hidden and quickly steal the carriage (if you are detected, someone might escape using it, which will complicate the mission and force you to chase him). Then, ride from the restricted area. Try to throw the enemies from the roof on the road. If you will do it efficiently enough, you will have no trouble with driving the carriage. Simply watch out for rare attacks during the ride to the destination point.

Train Robbery

The train is slowing before the station, you can easily catch it then.

One of the most profitable actions in the game is also very easy to complete. The train that you can rob is in constant move, so use the map to find a place on its route where you can easily climb on it or wait for it on the nearest station.

Keep walking through the wagons and loot the chests you find.

Looting the train is easy. It will be best to move from the last train to the very front. In few places you will find enemies that will start whistling when they notice you, luring nearby enemies at you. Because of that, try to remain undetected and eliminate the Blighters one after another from hiding. Examine also all the chests with valuables and then leave the train.

Boat Raid

First find your target, then attack.

During the boat raid you can locate the person with the cargo list. Then you must mark three chests. And that's all. If you are detected, the time to complete it will be limited. Remember that you cannot mark the chests until you regain the anonymity. You can kill all enemies and then mark the chests.

Smuggler's Boat

Shoot at the dynamite chest in order to destroy the contraband.

In this mission type you must get to the smuggler's boat and destroy the contraband. You can also kill the boss of the thugs, which shouldn't be troublesome and will increase your reward. You will destroy the contraband by planting the chest with the dynamite near it and setting it on fire (or shooting with a revolver). Usually, you will find the chests near the contraband. The easiest way is cleaning the territory of enemies, calmly moving the chest and blowing up the selected packages.

Cargo Escort

Shoot the enemy drivers or kill the horses.

Jump on the roof of the allied carriage. When it moves, it will be attacked by Blighters' vehicles. Defend the vehicle by killing their drivers or horsed. If your allies are killed, take control of the vehicle and drive it to the destination. In general, this mission is about avoiding or killing the chase and delivering the vehicle with the cargo to the marked location.
