Blog Tag: Monopoly Go Shutdown

There are many interesting events in Monopoly Go for you to explore, and the most popular one is the tournament because it is easy to play and has very generous rewards. At this stage, the active tournament in the game is called Scarecrow Sprint, and you can get up to 10,890 Monopoly Go Dice, some sticker packs of various colors, and 2,100 Flags for Harvest Racers. But today we are not going to introduce the rewards of this event, but how to get more points at this event.

If you are a player familiar with the tournaments in Monopoly Go, you will know that the points required in the milestones require you to make your tokens fall accurately on the railway tiles on the board, and then get them according to your performance in the two mini-games of Shutdown or Bank Heists that are triggered. So the better you perform in these two mini-games, the higher your points will be.

Although the number of points you get in each game is fixed and only changes according to the dice multiplier you use, this does not mean that you cannot use the strategies introduced in this guide to achieve the goal of getting a higher score. Without further ado, let’s start exploring!

Shutdown

When your token lands on the railroad tile and Shutdown is triggered, you will find that you have been teleported to another player’s city. Here you can click on all landmarks or buildings to cause damage, but if the player has and equips a shield, your attack will be ineffective.

So the advice here is to destroy the lower-level and destroyed landmarks as much as possible, which will greatly increase your performance in this mini-game. Most of these landmarks are surrounded by a layer of smoke, which is easy to identify.

When triggering this mini-game, the opponent you face is random, but you can also choose a specific target by clicking Switch Opponent tab at the bottom of the current interface. Here you will have two options for you to choose: Revenge or Friends.

If you choose Revenge, it means that you will choose another opponent player you have attacked before or a player who has destroyed your landmark to shut down. Here try to choose those players who have been destroyed by you, because at this time their landmarks have not been repaired, and the possibility of successful destruction will be greater.

If you choose Friends, you can only select the people you want to Shutdown from your friends list. While this may make you feel more accomplished, remember that you will receive in-game alerts when you destroy your friends, so beware of their retaliation!

Now that we know how Shutdown works and some strategies, it’s time to learn how many points you can get from this mini-game. When you complete Shutdown Blocked, you get 2 points, and when you complete Shutdown Success, you get 4 points.

The number of points will change with MG Dice Multiplier you use, so if you are very sure that you can get 4 points in this Shutdown, you can use a high multiplier. But be careful with high multipliers when you don’t have enough dice.

Bank Heists

Another very interesting mini-game is Bank Heists, which is essentially a memory game. When you trigger this mini-game, you will see 12 vault safes appear on the screen. Behind each safe door is a diamond ring, some cash, and a silver coin. When you open the same safe three times in a row, it means that you have completed this Bank Heists. But it should be noted that the three icons represent different levels of robbery.

Silver coins mean that you can rob a small amount of cash from the opponent player, which can only achieve the purpose of small Bank Heists. Some cash icons represent the maximum amount of cash you can get from this player, which is a large Bank Heists. The most important diamond ring means that you can rob all the cash of the opponent player, causing the opponent player to go bankrupt.

Of course, the points awarded to you by these three different levels of Bank Heists are also different. Small Heist can give you 4 points, Large Heist can provide 6 points, and Bankrupt can provide you with 8 points. If you complete Mega Heist Gold Bars, you will get 12 points, which is also the highest reward in Bank Heists.

Similar to Shutdown, you and your opponent can use shields to avoid this very scary Bank Heist. But it is worth noting that Bank Heists allow players to exact revenge on friends and strangers.

Because the lost cash is calculated based on the cash in your bank, in order to avoid being Bank Heists multiple times, you can spend all your cash before exiting the game, such as building or upgrading landmarks. If you have a lot of free time, you can also log in frequently throughout the day, which will effectively reduce the number of Bank Heists.

It is important to note that once you or another player initiates a Bank Heist, it cannot be canceled, whether you exit the game or clear the cache. So before you do this, please carefully choose the person you want to Bank Heists, and keep only a small amount of cash in your bank, so that both your success rate and loss rate can be increased or decreased accordingly.

That’s it for you and some strategies on how to get more points for your tournament in Monopoly Go. This tournament will only last for 24 hours, so use the above strategies as soon as possible and sprint to the highest milestone rewards. It’s going to be a very fierce competition for the tournament leaderboard! Good luck with the game!

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.
