Key Takeaways
- Prestige system lacks meaningful monetary incentives, slowing player progression.
- Economy improvements are minor and insufficient despite update boosts.
- Adding a money multiplier per prestige would significantly enhance gameplay experience.
- The map design and difficulty are well-balanced and enjoyable.
- Current reward distribution (kills vs room clears) is unbalanced and needs adjustment.
What the video covers
- Mafia Heist 2 received an update similar to Mafia Heist, including economy boosts and increased prestige max level.
- Prestige now caps at 100, offering more damage, sales, health, shield, and wolves, but the benefits feel insufficient.
- Room rewards increase progressively, with room 32 offering significant endgame rewards, especially in the bonus area.
- Bosses give double cash, but overall money rewards remain low even with CEO multiplier.
- Prestige does not provide bonus money, making progression feel slower rather than faster.
- The creator suggests adding a money multiplier per prestige level (e.g., 10%) to improve grinding speed.
- The map is praised for its visuals, gameplay, and balanced difficulty, but the economy system is criticized.
- Players often AFK because grinding is slower than idling due to the current prestige system.
- Killing enemies yields more money than room clears, which is counterintuitive and considered a design flaw.
- The video concludes with a call for feedback and hopes for future updates to address these issues.

Speaker A
Hello, welcome to a new video. So, this is Mafia Heist 2 and it got almost the same update as Mafia Heist, like economy boost and more prestige maximum level.
Speaker A
The thing is, I did a run. I wanted to record, but I don't know. I felt it feel weird.
Speaker A
Why does it feel weird? Because let's talk about the prestige. Like this is the prestige, okay? So, now it got to 100.
Speaker A
And that's cool and everything, but ooh, what is the point? Okay, you get more damage, more sales, more health and shield, but and a wolf.
Speaker A
Who there [snorts] who cares about? I have 6,000 wolves that I don't even have anything to use them on. But the thing is, let's say I prestige to 11.
Speaker A
Okay, now they boosted everything. So, the LM reward and room clear reward is now increasing every room. So, we clear the first room, the next room will give you more and more. You can see the graph on the screen.
Speaker A
Room 32 gives you two end game and that's the one huge thing about the whole update, by the way.
Speaker A
And the bosses give you double cash. Bosses LM are not enough. So, this is the LM.
Speaker A
It's 10,000. And bosses give you like, I don't know, double this maybe or triple. So, double that is still not enough.
Speaker A
So, the most things that give you money in the sun are these and now this, especially if you have CEO.
Speaker A
This will be 20 million if you have the CEO. And the thing is why I think prestige is ass. Okay, they say now in the update new reward for prestige players coming soon.
Speaker A
But you are doing this, why not drop it now? Because it's still not how to say it?
Speaker A
It doesn't say to me, "Oh, Flubber." Prestige. But prestige doesn't give you only this stuff. It doesn't give me bonus money. So, if I prestige to 11, it will not be faster to go to 12. You know, it's the same money.
Speaker A
So, I will be literally getting the same money. I need to upgrade more stuff.
Speaker A
Because there's 10 more HP and shield and damage, you know? With the same money I get.
Speaker A
So, it doesn't feel faster. It will feel slower to prestige if you get what I mean. So, I think the simplest thing to do is every prestige gives you like 10% money. That's the simplest thing to ever do.
Speaker A
Especially that you have 100 now. In the end, this is my idea. So, I will run the map to show you how much you will get money from running the full map with CEO, by the way. I have now 500
Speaker A
million. I tried to make it a great number so that I don't forget the number, you know?
Speaker A
So, let's run the map and like, uh, see, show you how much I will make money.
Speaker A
Do I need something else? Yeah, I don't need this. I will need this to run fast, uh, more because, you know, you lose stamina in this map and this helps you not lose stamina.
Speaker A
So, 20,000 and 12.6, okay? 20.8, 13.1. So, you can see the money of elimination and like, uh, room clear are going up and they will keep going up and up and up, but it's still low in my opinion.
Speaker A
Look, I'm telling you the one thing that you notice a change in is finishing them up. And especially finishing it with the new rooms.
Speaker A
So, the 32 not going in the normal one. You need to go to the bonus area to feel the difference.
Speaker A
And a lot of new players will die in that new area because it's not easy.
Speaker A
I don't know, like working around the economy is so easy, especially that this map is old now.
Speaker A
It's almost a year, you know. And people already maxed to 10, maybe even to 20 when 20 came out.
Speaker A
And they have billions of wolves. So, I think the simplest thing to do is just work around the prestige. Each prestige gives you a multiplier of money.
Speaker A
I think this will be the best thing to do in this prestige in the map.
Speaker A
Because now the prestige system doesn't make it easier to proceed and grind more. It makes it slower if you think about it because you don't get extra money on prestiging.
Speaker A
So it will feel slower and slower each time you prestige. That's why people sit there AFK in this map because it's faster than playing the map.
Speaker A
So funny. So now 34,000 for a kill, 0.1 and 21.4 for room clear. Room clear gives you less than a kill.
Speaker A
It's also horrendous. So 34.9, 21.9, 35.7, 22.4. I will try to leave the boss to kill him alone.
Speaker A
Oh, I left him. Okay, this is the boss. So 36.7, 76.4 dude. Like yeah, yeah, the economy is still bad. Whatever they did even with these bonuses and whatever, it's still bad. And this is, by the way, with CEO, you need to keep in
Speaker A
mind. This is with the CEO cut, so I'm getting double money on killing. And it's horrendous.
Speaker A
I don't know, like dude, that's so simple. Put money bonus and prestige. It just that will make everything better.
Speaker A
Because I'm prestige times, I will have now 100%. So that's double money again, you know?
Speaker A
[snorts] And like you already put 100 prestige cap. So I don't know why you are afraid that it will be easy. It's not easy at all.
Speaker A
Like playing other maps makes this one so freaking slow for me. For grinding, you know? And I do like the map. Like the map is decent.
Speaker A
It has beautiful visuals, gameplay, everything. Uh, it's like balanced with the hard of them, like how much is hard and easy.
Speaker A
It's not easy, it's not hard, it's perfect. I don't know, dude. I said that in Mafia 1 and I said it again here.
Speaker A
Just the prestige system feels bad. I think this is the one map that doesn't have a cash multiplier on prestige, you know?
Speaker A
What is the point? Get 0.5 damage and oh, I can't steal them again. I didn't even know this. You can't steal the painting again.
Speaker A
W. So I only steal painting because they give, I don't need money now. I can prestige anyway and I have everything.
Speaker A
But like this gives 161,000. A painting will give me 800,000, you know? Five paintings will give me half the whole more than the whole run together.
Speaker A
So funny. [snorts] Ouch. Yeah, these rooms are quite hard and painful. So now 40.9 and 25.7 room clear. Again, how the room clear is less than a kill. I don't understand.
Speaker A
It's a room clear, dude. So, keep in mind, I'm in room 27. I have 9 million and that's with max upgrades and CEO.
Speaker A
So, if you don't have CEO, this will be 4.5 million. It's garbage, dude. I don't want to say it, but it's bad.
Speaker A
It's just too bad. It's sad. Yeah, I think what they need to do is so simple. Just put a percentage like 10% on each prestige. If you think it's too high, put 5% for God's sake. It would be better than nothing, I'd say.
Speaker A
44.5 and it's like the map is cool. That's why it hurts me. I love the map.
Speaker A
27.9 [music] from room clear. Okay, two more rooms. And we got the money. So, now on escape and you get double. If you escape from 32, of course. What the hell? I will kill you with the same weapon you have.
Speaker A
Uh, so, we should get double the money and yes, we get them. And double the packs for cards.
Speaker A
Thus, it should be double wolves because it sells double everything. Wolf, I will not notice. Money, you can notice.
Speaker A
I have a revive, so I don't care. But, let's kill it. So, 94,000 from the boss, by the way.
Speaker A
I'm 47. It's basically a boss as double an enemy. And that's insane. I just noticed these stuff. So, we got 20 million, 22 wolf and, uh, yeah, two packs, I think, right? I don't have packs, so we will know.
Speaker A
Where is the open pack? What the hell? Oh yeah, here. Oh, no, one pack. Okay, never mind, it's one pack.
Speaker A
And of course, I will get nothing. So, yeah, I don't know, like we got 31 million from a full run on maxed everything, prestige 10, by the way. 31 million.
Speaker A
It's bad, dude. I think what they need to do is that simple.
Speaker A
Some percentage for money on every prestige, you know? That's my opinion in the end. Comment down below what you think.
Speaker A
Uh, I do think you will agree with me, like you can say this is enough for someone to push for 100 prestige. It will be not a sure even. It will be, I don't know, salvation? That's what it's
Speaker A
called? Like you all will sit in the map for your whole life to reach 100 at this point. Because remember, when you prestige, you add level on your max health and shield and damage. So, you need to have to spend more money than
Speaker A
the previous prestige to get another p
