Construction (construction racket) | Walkthrough Mafia III Guide

This is one of two rackets in Downtown. You can weaken it after you speak with Donovan in the "Compromised Corruption" story mission. The main objective of the mission is to remove the enemy lieutenant Jimmy Cavar from his position. You can weaken the business by using various methods that are described below.

Important - Before you start weakening this racket, you should install wiretaps in all boxes in Downtown. While doing it you must be careful since two boxes are located in restricted areas - on the police station (above picture) and in the alley guarded by gangsters (you can easily avoid them by walking through the garage). Once near the enemies, you can kill or distract them, for example by using Screaming Zemi. In addition to that, in case of the box on the police station area you should avoid being detected - otherwise all nearby enemies and reinforcements will quickly swarm you. Additionally, while dealing with the box in the police station, you can use the services of the Police Dispatcher, however, that particular action will require you to sacrifice one marker. In exchange, the policemen will not react to Lincoln's actions for 2 minutes, and you will be able to break into the box without any issues.

Meeting with Lennie Davis

Lennie can be found in one of the buildings in the eastern part of the district. Speak with him about the possible ways of weakening Cavar's racket.

Interrogating Cavar's foreman

This objective isn't different that other interrogations that you could have performed in previous missions. A group of gangsters is positioned near the foreman (important - there is a sentry among them). You can eliminate or avoid them. After interrogating the foreman you can kill or recruit him.

Destroying the stock of construction materials

Shoot at the construction materials or use a Molotov's cocktail

This is one of the lesser objectives of this mission. You can find construction materials in places marked on the map or in locations related to other mission objectives. You can use guns to destroy them, but Molotov's cocktails will be effective as well (especially if you don't intend to get close to enemies guarding the supplies).

Destroying the trucks with construction materials

Shoot the tires or kill the driver in order to stop the truck

This objective is similar to the previous one - once again you must destroy construction materials. You can find parked trucks while completing other objectives related to this mission. In addition to that, you can find them while traveling through Downtown. In the latter case you should block the road of the trucks and kill the driver or shoot down the tires to force the truck to stop. No matter how you stop the truck, you should use grenades for blowing it up.

Destroying the crane on the construction site

The construction site is a large location filled with workers (they are neutral towards Lincoln) and gangsters. You can enter the area from many sides, for example by jumping over the fence. Lincoln must plant the explosives on the blue tank at the base of the crane - it is shown on the picture.

Avoid any confrontation both on your way to the place and after planting the explosive since the protagonist must leave the area before the explosive is detonated. If you are detected, don't let the enemies surround you and don't let the sentries call for backup. Destroying the crane will weaken the construction business by 25 thousand dollars.

Stealing Cavar's money

You will learn about this mission objective by interrogating the foreman. Go to the much smaller construction site under the highway. There are only a few enemies nearby, you can easily kill or avoid them. The money you seek (10000 dollars) is lying on the desk in the small building shown on the picture.

Murdering Cavar's enforcers

You can easily kill Marlon by shooting from long distance

You can kill two enforcers. Marlon Boudreaux is sitting on a chair in one of the side alleys. You should sneak up nearby (watch out for at least one sentry) and kill him with a headshot from distance or throw an explosive surprise at him.

"Geezer Cruzat" is on the courtyard, surrounded by larger number of opponents. You can lure them away one after another or use a direct approach. In case of the latter method you can also destroy the nearby construction materials.

Initiating a confrontation with Cavar

You can pass through the collapsed crane on your way to Cavar

Once you weaken the construction racket enough (actions related to Cavar are marked with red points on the map), go back to Lennie. Speak with him and go to the construction site which you could have visited previously in order to sabotage the crane.

Jimmy Cavar is on the highest floor of the main building on the construction site. A pretty linear path leads there. A weapon with suppressor will prove to be useful in silent and easy elimination of enemies. You can also make it easier to get to the boss and walk through the collapsed crane after initial clearing of the area. Once you get Cavar, decide whether you want to kill or recruit him.

Important - At the end you must decide who will receive the racket - Cassandra, Burke or Vito. Each of them will offer you a different bonus in exchange for the racket. You should know that later you will be able to change your decision - after taking over the whole Downtown you will have to decide which of your underbosses will assume control over the whole area (and all of its rackets).
