Mafia III Story Progression

[esala12]

I just started playing Mafia III Definitive Edition. I'm quite confused with the story progression.
First about the rackets. To gain intel about the rackets, Lincoln has to interrogate informant. Now, how to find the informant for every rackets? Should Lincoln do wiretap to find the intel?

-How to find the rackets? is it found by main story progression or Lincoln should find the rackets by himself?

Second, I just finished the mission (i forgot the name of the mission) given by Donovan that introduced Lincoln to burke and vito. After Lincoln met them both, there are no mission. I'm stuck. Anybody know how to progress from there?

thanks

In every area of the game world you need to first take down their rackets.

In order to do this you need to cause damage in that area, namely take down their business before you can build your own.

You don't need to wiretap area in order to find informants or rackets themself. Wiretaping serve purpose when ever you want racket boss to either live or die. Killing him is default but if you wiretap hes area where he is station then you have possibility to let him live.

before rackets even shows up you need to cause that damage which can be done:

- Interrogate informants then either letting them live or kill. There is no difference with ever you choose, only for achievements.

- Destroy delivery trucks.

- Steal money giving locations.

- Kill important person in certain location.

- destroy products that that areas racket is producing.

You can see how much damage you need to cause in each area before racket shows up. and every location in your map.

Ones rackets have been either killed or convinced to join in your side, then boss will appear. After taking him down, area will then go one of your under bosses, which in this case is either Vito or Burge since you are early in this game.

If i remember correctly, you can't get any of their missions either before you have giving them their first area to look after.

thanks for your explanation. it's rather clear now. I've now played all of mafia series and this one (mafia III) is quite confusing since the progression is rather branched (non-linear) than the previous two.
