going directly to kingpin, get chalice quest then grabbing chalice and giving it to kingpin ($20k reward), kingpin's dead body $20k, kingpin's secret stash $30k, killing kingpin's guards (weapons -selling them to tony-, npc near boxing range $15k) in total $90k easy money. can i do this in 1.13?

also we get another $10k cash from maria/dentist quest too right?

I doubt that you can do that in 1.13. Kingpin's men and the troops in and on the way to Balime will make Swiss Cheese out of your mercs...

happy in vanilla you can't find chalice on kingpin's dead body if you wait a few weeks after giving him the chalice. how does that work? how much time we have to kill him to get chalice back?

hey i did this again in my last playthrough. it is really cool and you get $115K in total as i forgot additional $15K from the box fight.
note; during the box fight wikia says you need duster but if you have energy boost you dont need that for final boxer who fights like ninja

Isn't it better on the long run to leave Kingpin alive so you keep doing box fights? Wouldn't be better to kill him off in the very end?

Also... can I steal Kingpin stash and he send assassins after me and still do box matches / Kingpin not going hostile?

he goes hostile a few days or a week after you stole his money.

in long term you dont have money problem so it is not worth for $15K but $115K in beginning of the game is just awesome thumbs up

Personally, i used to kill Kingpin back in vanilla, to get the chalice back and give it to Yanni but it ain't worthy, nor is stealing his money. You have to deal with his assassins, which can result is some losses and if you decide to pay him back, you pay more than you stole, cause of interest. And there's the eternal problem with San Mona hostility. IF you kill Kingpin, you'll have to empty at least one more sector, besides the one where he lives in. And every time you visit San Mona after that, the town is forever hostile. Yeah, you can use helicopter to fly over on your way to SAM site or Chitzena but still....Best choice for me, is to not talk to him and not accept his quest. By that time, i'm not really hurting for money. As for the box fights, his fighters never recover after the first bout. Maybe in the 1.13 mods they do, don't know, didn't look into it.

i am going to do this in wildfire too happy but there is annoying bug at sector c9. i can not leave that province because enemies keep coming every time you kill all of enemies in that sector. just like zombie horde mode happy you know how many levels can you hold against enemiy zombies big grin

you can not leave that sector from either tactical mode or strategy mode. interesting that they didnt relase a fix for this.
