Monopoly Go features thrilling mini-games, events, and tournaments that take traditional board game as a source of inspiration, and further improves and innovates it. Monopoly Go gives much emphasis on collaboration and competition with friends and introduces a variety of mini-games.
Playing these mini-games also serve as an excellent channel for you to collect Monopoly Go Stickers and rare items.
Shutdown and Bank Heists serve as two major mini-games, and are designed to help you embrace a ton of rewards based on this game of construction and disruption. Here lies the specific introduction of these two mechanics.
How To Play Shutdown?
Shutdown offers you a great opportunity for you to raid the city of your friends or even strangers and demolish their Landmarks. And you will be given tons of cash prizes through disrupting and slowing their progress. In general, Monopoly Go randomly chooses Shutdown opponents, but you can also select specific targets as you like.
Shutdown is typically triggered by landing on a Railroad tile. Once activated, you are teleported to another player’s city and wreaks havoc. Click on landmarks to destroy them.
But if your opponent has equipped with shields, they can protect their landmark from being demolished. Therefore, the recipe for a successful Shutdown is to destroy the weakest landmark, which can easily be identified because they feature a cloud of smoke around them.
The rewards that get through Shutdown are also influenced by dice multipliers. The higher the multiplier, the more cash you win.
How To Change Shutdown Target?
If you are assigned a player or friend you don’t want to attack, you can also change your Shutdown opponent. You can choose Shutdown a player with weaker defense to earn more cashes or just to get revenge on the last player who attacked you. It adds another layers of competition and excitement to the game.
Click “Switch Opponent” button where you are available to choose an apposite player to attack in the selection of the “Revenge” and “Friends” tabs.
Take Revenge
The “Revenge” tab offers a good chance to take revenge for those who attacked you before. Swipe down to check the list and choose one for payback.
Attack Friends
The “Friends” tab allows you to visit all of your friends’ cities in the game and attack their buildings. Isn’t it pretty exciting? But pay attention to that your friends will receive a notification of the damage to remind them to return to the game and protect their buildings.
To prohibit your landmarks against Shutdowns, please save enough shields as much as possible.
How To Play Bank Heist?
Bank Heist supports players to sneak into other players’ banks and steal all their cash, which is triggered by landing on Railroad tiles on Monopoly Go board. It is essentially a memory game, which is consisted of a grid of 12 vault doors that feature diamond rings, cash stacks, and silver coins hiding behind the doors.
Bank Heist teleports you to another player’s bank. Your task is to identify the pattern of three items. If you successfully collect three vaults with the same items, the player’s funds will be deposited into your account. The three items also have different additional benefits.
- Diamond Rings: Grants you all of your opponent’s money and makes them go bankrupt.
- Cash Stacks: Supports you to get the most money from your opponent and hence to perform a Large Heist.
- Silver Coins: Helps you to get the least money, resulting in a Small Heist.
How To Avoid Bank Heist?
Compared to Shutdowns, you can avoid building damage by using shields. But for Bank Heists, there is no effective way to deal with. The only way to avoid bankruptcy is to spend all your cash before exiting the game. Your friends or random players can launch Bank Heists at any time when you leave the game.
But as long as you are online, your bank is safe. So it is best to visit the game frequently, so that the amount and amount of cash lost will be reduced.
And fortunately, the loss is calculated on a certain scale. Even if your opponent empties your bank account and makes millions of dollars, your actual loss is much less than that number.
Because there is no corresponding protection, Bank Heists do not allow revenge. Otherwise, players will fall into an endless cycle of death. It also destroys the beneficial competition system that Monopoly Go pursues.
Once Bank Heist is started, it cannot be stopped. You cannot close it by exiting the game, deleting the cache, or forcibly stopping the game. So if you do not intend to cause your opponent to suffer heavy losses, it is recommended to make it a Small Heist by discovering the three silver coins rather than the diamond rings.
The above is the introduction to the two mini games Shutdown And Bank Heist in Monopoly Go. Isn’t is pretty attractive? Then start your game and bring tons of cashes home! Thanks for reading.
