Wondering how to play Mafia Wars Whack the Rat? Well, if you want to start playing before the time is up, you will find that there are three different jobs that you can choose from. You will find that this format being used is much like other limited time jobs in the past. You have a five minute job, an eight hour job, and then there is a 24 hour job that you can choose from as well. Each of the jobs has different requirements and payouts.

If you choose the five minute job, it will take you 30 Energy and it will pay out to you 45 Energy when you do the job. You will have to wait for the rewards from this job for only five minutes. Of course, you can reduce this time by using some of your Godfather points to get the reward right away. You will only get 1 percent mastery on this job with this choice, and you will have a 20 percent chance of getting some of the special bonus loot. When you get the bonus payout, you will get a bonus of 15 more energy and you may get one of the special loot drops. This five minute job is called Hack into Hotel Records.

The next job you can choose from is the 8 hour job, which is called Bribe a Guard for Roof Access. This job is going to require you to wait for eight hours to get your bonus payout. You can reduce this time by an hour if you pay a Godfather point. You will be required to spend 60 Energy on this job, although the initial payout is 120 Energy. When you get to the bonus payout you will get 30 Bonus Energy as well. This job gives you 12 percent mastery level and it also gives you a 50 percent chance of getting some of the special bonus loot.

Last, you have the 24 hour job, which takes the most energy and requires you to wait the longest amount of time to get your payout. You will wait for a whole day to get the bonus payout. It takes 100 Energy to do this job, but it pays out 250 Energy when you do the job and another 50 of bonus energy when the bonus payout is reached. You can reduce the time by two hours with 2 Godfather points. You can reduce it by 12 hours for 6 points or you can use up 12 points to reduce it by 24 hours. This job gives you a 100 percent chance of getting one of the bonus loot items that you need.

In the end, there is a special loot item available if you master the Jimmy Vegas event, and you complete the special collection. You will get what is known as the What Happens in Vegas achievement and you will also get the special Mastery Loot, which is Jimmy 220 Sunset, a vehicle that has 23 Defense and 48 Attack.

Getting involved in the Mafia Wars Whack the Rat special event is definitely a great idea, since you will want to get all that special loot and get the achievement as well.
