Vault and Black Market
The Grand Mafia Guide
Your resources are very important in order to keep your operations running as the Underboss. In the Grand Mafia, you’ll want to defend yourself versus threats such as enemy attacks, however there will be instances where there are stronger enemies out there that can attack you.
Unless you’re using a shield, failing to defend your turf will lead to losses in your resources. So, what can you do in order to get back from an attack? The Vault and the Black Market are resources that can help you keep parts of your resources safe, plus you can ask help from your faction members too. So let’s learn more about these facilities.
Vault Functions
You may be just starting out, or perhaps you’re in a city that has a long of strong factions. Protecting your turf will require using shields, or perhaps you’ll need help from your faction members. However, it can be inevitable that another turf will aim to attack your settlement and you won’t be able to defend versus their attack power and levels.
The Vault lets you have resources that can be protected. This means that if in case of any attack against your turf, you will still have resources that are safe in the vault so you can recuperate and continue with the game. It’s important to upgrade your vault in order to increase the amount of resources that you can protect.
Vault Upgrades
If you plan to upgrade your vault, not only will you get protection for your resources, but you’ll also be able to increase your influence which is important in the Grand Mafia. Here are the following upgrades that you can attain for this facility:| Level | Protectable Resources | Increase Influence |

Extra Effects: If you’re able to upgrade this facility to level 25, you’ll unlock Diamond Protection. This is another important resource since it has a lot of functions for upgrades and training your associates.
Black Market
If you belong to an active faction, you can ask help from your faction members if they’re willing to share some of their resources. Similar to sending associates to help defend your turf, they can also send resources to you through the Black Market facility. If someone else needs help, then you can send them as well so you’ll all be able to provide assistance to each other.
Sometimes it can take you a longer time to recuperate losses from an enemy attack. But if you are in a tight faction with friends, they can lend you a hand by transporting resources. This will have some transport tax though, but it’s good if you’re willing to help. The more faction members there are, then the easier it is for an attacked faction member to rise back up. This is why being in an active faction is good since you’ll be able to have willing members to help you out.
Black Market Upgrades
So what bonuses can you receive from upgrading your Black Market? Since transporting resources have tax, you can reduce this through upgrades. You can even increase the amount of resources that can be transported, as well as increase your total influence. Here are the upgrades available for the Black Market:| Level | Transportable Resources | Transport Tax | Increase Influence |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 5,000 | 30% | 13 |
| 2 | 15,000 | 29% | 26 |

Extra Effects: Once you're able to reach level 25 for your Black Market, you can have an increased transport infantry speed by 100% which is useful for getting resources as fast as possible.
Losing resources will slow down your turf’s development, so you’ll want to level up as fast as possible and make use of your resources before they’re taken away from you. Having a high level for your vault and black market is vital if you need to protect your resources, or if you need to get back up from an attack in your turf.
