Street dealing
SoloBuy your product from the supplier, sell it to people on the street, one corner at a time. Simple, profitable, and any customer could be the one who snitches.
The plan#
- See the supplierGrove Street and Sandy Shores, on the map. You pay cash. 5% off by the 10, 10% off by the 25. Your product sits in your inventory.
- Pick your cornerEvery neighborhood has its tastes. The supplier tells you where each product sells best.
- Approach someoneGun away, walk up to someone in front of you: "Customer?" pops up over their head, then [E].
- The dealThe sheet opens: what you're carrying, what it's worth here, and the odds they snitch. Pick the product and the swap happens. 1 – 3 units per sale.
- Keep movingEvery unit sold drops the corner's price for everybody. It climbs back over time: when it stops paying, change neighborhoods.
The product#
| Product | Buy | Base price | Carry | Level |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Weed | $80 | $190 | 50 | – |
| Meth | $200 | $380 | 30 | – |
| Cocaine | $300 | $550 | 30 | – |
| Ecstasy | $360 | $650 | 25 | 8 |
| Heroin | $520 | $900 | 20 | 18 |
Level means your reputation. The street price moves ±15% from one customer to the next.
By phone#
Don't feel like crossing town? The supplier also takes orders in the Contracts app: 15% more, no bulk discount. He texts you a drop point, and you have 15 min to pick up the package and pay on the spot. Nobody else can see it.
The neighborhoods#
Mirror Park, Downtown, Rockford Hills, Vinewood, Del Perro & Vespucci, South Los Santos, East Los Santos, Port of Los Santos, Sandy Shores, Grapeseed, Paleto Bay and Chumash. Coke sells high where the rich live, meth out in the desert, weed on the beach: read the market. Outside these neighborhoods, you get the base price.
Every 25 min to 40 min, a neighborhood starts begging for one product: +50% for 15 min. Carrying product, or dealt recently? You get the text.
The risks#
He says nono harm done
- He shakes his head and walks off. Next.
He snitches★
- He pulls out his phone. People who saw it start filming, then run off to call.
- You've got 20 s to shut them up: aim at them, grab their phone, or worse.
- Nobody around: nobody calls. A cop nearby: the stars land right away.
He snatches your stash2 – 5 units
- He takes off running, marked on your map.
- You've got 90 s to put him down and search him.
The more you chain sales, the higher your heat, and the more people snitch. It cools off on its own when you ease up, and logging out doesn't wipe it. Someone you already served won't buy again for 10 min.
When you die, all your product drops in a bag on the ground, on everyone's map, finders keepers. The bag vanishes after 5 min.
Your stash is only safe in a property's storage. In your car's trunk it rides with you, and burns with it. In your pockets, it belongs to whoever drops you.
