mafia wars feds are watching
Many mafiosos may remember that a Beat the Feds job made a brief appearance before, but was yanked before many could complete the job. Looks like everyone's getting a second chance to test their mafia's mettle with a new Mafia Wars Beat the Feds event that kicks off Friday, August 13.
Over the next 10 days, you and your pals will be tasked with beating down these four feds. These guys are going to be tough so be sure to stock up on shivs, stun guns and health kits before you head into battle. (Is it just me or does the fed on the lower right look more like an angry bum than a government employee? I digress.) Of course, you will be rewarded for your efforts, see more after the jump.
In this challenge, you will need need to defeat these four feds: Agent Karlin, Agent Miller, D.E.A. Iverson and D.A. Embry. These throwdowns will work similar to other Vegas bosses -- after you beat each boss, you will get an item that will be leveled up the more times you defeat them, which will earn you mastery levels.
The first time you beat them, you'll earn bronze mastery and then you'll work your way up to silver and gold mastery levels. You will also be able to try for a special Mastery item called the Rain Maker, which will give you a 5% increase in cash from Vegas Fights for beating all four bosses at a gold level.
mafia wars beat the feds
To start the Beat the Feds Challenge, go the front page of Mafia Wars, and it's impossible to miss the giant 'Beat the Feds' module on the homepage. Your first mission will be to take out Agent Karlin.
Click start to begin and you'll be taken to a pop-up page, where you'll can post a request on your Wall for help. Karlin has 900 health, so you're most likely going to need all of the assists you can get to knock him down. In addition to being tough to beat, you have a certain time limit that you need to defeat the boss in, or else you have to start over from scratch.

Here are a few other tips to consider before taking on this challenge, courtesy of the Mafia Wars Facebook fan page:
You'll have to work quickly to beat the clock, so you can spread the word to your mafia to give you a hand. Helpers will be able to fight a boss as if they are facing the boss themselves. Here's where it pays to be strong - the toughest helpers who do the most damage per boss fight will receive additional rewards like experience, Vegas cash, fight tokens, and LE items for their help.
If you want to pack a solid punch, you can prepare for battle by making sure you have plenty of consumables like health kits, shivs, and stun guns to help you along the way. There's also safety in numbers - go recruit some new members to your mafia before the battle begins to better your odds of victory.

Mafia Wars: Infiltrate the Pentagon for exclusive Mastery items and Government Secrets
Infiltrate the Pentagon
The time has come to do the impossible, mobsters. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to play dress up and sneak into the Pentagon. (Wait, what?) Apparently in Mafia Wars, it's just that easy. In a brand new, week-long gifting event titled "Infiltrate the Pentagon," players will have to send each other military uniforms for limited edition Mastery weapons, animals and vehicles.
Quite honestly, this is exactly like the recent Prized Pigs and Masked Robbery gifting events, but on a much larger scale. As of this writing, only the Army Uniform is available with the Navy Uniform to release in three days and the Air Force Uniform to be available in a week from today. All you need to do is receive enough of each uniform to achieve Bronze Mastery and score the associated item. Master each uniform further by sending and receiving more uniforms to increase the statistics on each exclusive item. For example, the Ranger Kukri starts at a measly 58 Attack and 40 Defense, but boosting it to Gold Mastery through stockpiling enough Army Uniforms will increase its stats to an impressive 75 Attack and 39 Defense (that might be a glitch).
But we know what you're all after. Achieving Gold Mastery with each Uniform will unlock the Grand Prize, Government Secrets. An item with 103 Attack and 132 Defense, these should come in handy should you ever need to do a bit of blackmailing--which can be the ultimate defense. So, get to gifting those uniforms and get into the Pentagon before this window of opportunity closes. (Doesn't the Pentagon at least, say, scan fingerprints?)

Mafia Wars FrontierVille Beaver Pelt Promo: Everything you need to know
Mafia Wars Beaver Pelts
Looking for some easy items to come by in Mafia Wars? Well, Zynga has introduced another of its infamous cross-promotions in the game involving FrontierVille. This time around, all you need to do is take a trip over to your New York properties and click on any of the four buildings that produce items, which includes the brand new Private Zoo.
Chop Shop FrontierVille Promo
From there, you'll see some brand new items on the first page, but they each require a unique part that you won't find on the streets of New York, but way out West on the frontier. Click on the "Get Part" button with the FrontierVille logo attached to get started.
Follow us after the break to find out how to nab these limited edition items.
A Day in the Life of a Beaver
Clicking the "Get Part" button will transport you to your FrontierVille game. Upon loading the game, you will instantly be greeted with a new Goal titled "A Day in the Life of a Beaver I." Thankfully, this Goal can be completed in minutes, especially if you're already a seasoned pioneer. You'll need to have or collect 15 Wood, clear one Stump from the homestead and have or purchase two Fences from the Market. As for that final requirement, you must clear one full tree and remove its Stump to get credit for it. In other words, old Stumps lying around on the homestead will not count. Once completed, enjoy 50 XP and 250 coins.
A Day in the Life of a Beaver II
The second Goal in this series, "A Day in the Life of a Beaver II," is simple enough. Just click on "Claim Reward" to be launched back into your New York Property page in Mafia Wars one Beaver Pelt richer. Then, enter any one of your production properties and notice that a "Build" button has replaced that "Get Part" button. Just click and you got yourself a nice weapon, vehicle, armor or animal with a permanent stat increase. That's right, all of the items in this promotion will permanent boost one of your stats, just see for yourself below. (If you want the rest of these promotional items, then follow these easy steps in all four production Buildings--the mission will be exactly the same.)
Bearskin Cloak
Venture Axe
Big Horn Sheep
As you can probably already tell, all of these items have the same exact stats on them. However, each provide a unique, permanent boost to either your Defense, Attack or Energy, making them well worth the effort for min/max players.
