The Merchant of Menace front page
The Merchant of Menace is an online black market store operated by the Russian Mafia in Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction. They'll provide the player with vehicles, supplies, and air strikes.
Overview[]
Accessed in the PDA, the player can select one of the available support options and add it into the support menu, much like those given by factions upon starting a contract.
A hostile relationship with the Mafia will lock access to the shop, replacing the home page with a bribe button. Providing this bribe will instantly unlock the shop and improve Mafia faction mood. The player is also locked out of the shop before completing the first Mafia contract.
Once an item is selected, a red smoke grenade is given. Once thrown, a Russian Mafia helicopter carries the load with its winch and arrives in about fifteen seconds and drops it where the beacon was placed.
The prices of items is directly related to a player's standing with the faction. Prices vary incrementally, but even killing one soldier can make a $1000 difference therefore it would quickly bloat this page's size to list all the possible prices so only the highest (least friendly before they turn hostile) and lowest (as friendly as possible) will be listed.
