After much agony I've finally made it a Fully upgrade set of Brazil properties....
Now how in Hell do you get there? Well first you need to know how many building parts you will need!
Getting Reinforced Steel, Cement Blocks and Powertools should be easy, its the Construction Workers and Brazilian Timbers that are going to cause issues!
But the Easy ones first!
If your short on 315 Cement blocks or Power tools, you can always buy more at 1RP each, OR as Michael reminded me you can buy them in the Market place for Loyalty Points! Yep those useless points we have been collecting for a while now, they can be put to SOME use finally!
And at 20 LP each, you cant say they are expensive! But everyone should have massive stockpiles of these, as they drop from Jobs, and Fights since the Chop Shop was introduced, so if you don't have your 315 already, then maybe you don't play enough :)
The Reinforced Steel, is another EASY one, it was used in Las Vegas's Vault and it hasn't had a use since, so again you should find heaps of these laying around, asking to be put to work in Brazil.
If you don't have enough, unfortunately these don't drop from Fights and only drop from Jobs in Las Vegas, so I'd suggest putting your wish list to work, and hoping some fellow Mafia member has a few hundred to spare!
As for the 2 Hard ones to collect, the Brazil Timber and the Construction Worker there are only 3 ways to get them
Fighting
3 Brazil Construction workers and 3 Brazilian Timbers in 10K Wins so don't count on getting to many this way, the only piece of good news I have is they drop in All cities, So I'm fighting in Bangkok for this Image and still looting Timbers and Workers
Is the drop rate any better in Brazil? Well the simple answer is NO its the Exact same, with a catch, IF your fighting someone who's in Brazil you get 5X the amount of loot, If your fighting someone who happens to be in New York, WHILST your in Brazil then you only get 1X the loot, but still spend 5 Stamina per attack. So the Chance is the same, But when its time for your Workers or Timber to drop, and the player your fighting against HAPPENS to be another city, then you will only get 1 loot item.
In the sample above I had 22K wins, and scored just 5 Workers thats twice the stamina spent for 5/6th the loot drop!
Jobs
Doing Jobs is another way to find Workers, and Timbers, But with the increased cost of doing jobs and the Ultra low drop rate, I'm have yet been able to get a screen shot of a large enough data sample to show the drop rate in Brazil. The only thing I can tell you is they drop in All Cities! Here we have a Drop in New York

| Thanks again to Michael for this one |
And again dropping from New York doing the job "Federal Reserve Raid" which has a 22 Energy cost, just 1 Worker in 19,492 Energy.... Its most likely a better drop rate then what's in Brazil considering the cheaper energy costs in New York

Post to News Feed is the Last way to get these valued consumables
Each friend that clicks this post, will give you 1 of the requested item, up to 5 per day and unfortunately this is the best way to get these consumables as the drop rate every where SUCKS! The only Advice I have now that I've completed my Hold out, is because you need more Workers then Timbers ask for it more often! I only asked Timber Once, the rest of the time I've always asked for more workers, and at the end of everything I had 4 times the amount of Timber as I did workers!
So guys watch your timers ask as often as you can! And remember if ask every day for 3 months that's ONLY 450 Pieces, you still need a LOT more to Finish of Brazil! So get your Refinery and your Barracks upgraded first, as the more Looting you can do the faster you can upgrade!
