Mafia: Hometown features both a Story Mode and a Free Roam Mode, allowing players to freely explore the open world and complete collections. Below are detailed instructions for accessing Free Roam Mode.
🔓 How to Unlock Free Roam Mode
- Progress through the main story until Chapter 3 is completed.
- Once unlocked, access Free Roam Mode via either:
- Chapter Replay on the title screen, or
- Vehicle Compendium → Select any vehicle → Choose “Drive”.
In Free Roam Mode, you can:
- Explore the entire map.
- Use all vehicles and horses.
- Collect open-world items unavailable during the story.
❓ Story Mode vs. Free Roam Mode: Key Differences
| Feature | Story Mode | Free Roam Mode |
|---|---|---|
| Exploration | Restricted to mission areas. | Full map access. |
| Fast Travel | Not available. | Enabled to any map marker. |
| Collectibles | Limited access; some areas blocked. | All non-story collectibles obtainable. |
| Story-Exclusive Items | Yellow icons (marked with chapter info). | Unavailable. |
📦 Collectibles System Explained
- Progress Sync: Collectibles gathered in either mode share the same progress.
- Icons:
- Yellow icons = Story-exclusive (requires Chapter Replay to collect).
- Standard icons = Obtainable in Free Roam.
- Map Markers: Locations tagged in Story Mode remain visible in Free Roam.
💡 Pro Tips
- Complete the story first to unlock all abilities before collecting.
- Use Chapter Replay to mop up story-exclusive items (no risk of permanent misses!).
- Free Roam is ideal for post-game cleanup—tag collectibles during the story for efficiency.
