Conclusion

Currently, all the best items in the game now come from Moscow. However, not all upgrades are the same. TNT/Canonazos have 1 less attack than the Ubijca Assault Rifle, and the Armored State Car only has 2 less defense than the Konstantin Cargo Carrier. The executive overcoat, zoloto sports car, shturmovik, and zmeya carbon blade however are all very nice upgrades. As a result, you would do well to focus on collecting the latter four items first and replacing your TNT last.
