Mafia 3 features three underbosses who can help you seize and maintain control of businesses, rackets, and Lincoln’s criminal empire. In addition to this, each Mafia 3 underboss brings his/her set of bonuses. As you progress through Mafia 3, you will recruit three gangsters as your lieutenants as well as their crewmembers during your journey through the game. These Mafia 3 underbosses include Cassandra, Thomas Burke, and Vito Scaletta.
Since managing an entire city on your own can be troublesome, you can always rely on these Mafia 3 lieutenants to help you out. However, do note that managing underbosses is a two-way street and you will have to complete side-missions for your lieutenants to keep them happy. Failure to do so will result in one or more of them turning against you.

Assigning Districts to Mafia 3 Underbosses
As mentioned earlier, as you progress through the game and take over rackets, you will have to assign them to one of your lieutenants. Doing so will allow you to increase that underboss’s earnings and unlock new upgrades and favors.
After taking control of all available rackets in a district and eliminating the Marcano lieutenant overlooking them, you will be able to assign one of your lieutenant to look after everything. As mentioned earlier, it is important that you keep all your lieutenants happy to eliminate the chances of them turning against you.
To ensure this, try to distribute districts evenly. By doing so, you will not be able to enjoy the end-tier bonuses of an underboss but you will most definitely unlock ‘We’re in This Together’ Trophy/Achievement. Alternatively, you can simply boost one of your lieutenants while ignoring the other two until the end of the game to unlock ‘Just You and Me’ Trophy/Achievement.
From our experience so far, the following is the best way of assigning districts to your Mafia 3 underbosses:
- Vito Scaletta = Frisco Fields, Downtown, and River Row
- Cassandra = Southdowns, Barclay Mills, and Delray Hollow
- Thomas Burke = French Ward, Tickfaw Harbor, and Pointe Verdun
The reason for this style of distribution is because Vito gets the more traditional ‘mob-ish’ places, Burke gets more shabby places, and Cassandra gets the rest.
