Tips & Tricks to Get Rich | Schedule 1
Counter Offer When Possible
When you get messages from clients, they’ll ask to buy products at set prices. This is usually the market value or is close to it. However, it’s a good idea to try to counteroffer with a slightly higher price to try to get some extra money.
Now, try to avoid wildly increasing prices. That just scares off customers, after all! Just ask for a bit more, when possible. Most clients won’t cancel deals just because you asked for a little bit more, they’ll just accept! Believe us, this goes a long way in the grand scheme of things.
Mix Your Product
You’ll unlock the Mixing Station as you progress through the game. This handy station lets you mix Products with other items, which results in brand-new strains of drugs. These strains can have more unique effects than the basic ones, and as such they also sell for much more.
Now, there are like a million potential combinations in the game, due to all the types of products and mixers. So, if you don’t feel like experimenting and just want profits… check out our list of the best mixes for profit!
Automate Your Operations
You can start hiring workers as soon as you reach the Hoodlum V Rank. You can hire them by talking to Manny at the warehouse directly south of the starting Motel room. We have a guide with more details, if you need it.
While workers obviously don’t work for free, having them at your properties can greatly increase your product output. Workers can take care of growing plants, producing mixes, packaging finished products, and more. Automating the production process increases how much you can make, which will drastically increase your profits!
Make Good Use of Dealers
Early in the game, you’ll need to hire Benji as your first dealer. You can hire him and other dealers to have them sell products for you. While they do take a cut of the profits, this also automates the process of peddling your products. As we explained with our previous tips and tricks, automation is important to get rich in Schedule 1!
What’s more, you later on can start using the Brick Press to compact products into bricks. Give those bricks to dealers and they’ll automatically break them and sell them off. It’s an extremely efficient way to sell large amounts of your product, which also means massive profits.
Make Deals at Night
If you’ve been playing the game, you most likely noticed that there’s a curfew from 9 PM to 5 AM in this game. Being out at night is risky since cops are very likely to arrest you on the spot if they see you… but this is also a fantastic business opportunity!
If you want to fast-forward your profits, tell your clients to meet you during the curfew. To compensate for the risk of being out at night, you’ll get a lot more money from every deal you complete during curfew. It can greatly help you get rich quick, especially in the early game.
As a bonus tip, staying unseen during the curfew isn’t actually that hard. Pay attention to the “?” signs which appear near the middle of the screen. They indicate nearby police officers, so they can help you avoid the coppers before they catch you. Also, obviously, stick to alleys and dark areas to remain unseen.
So, there you have it, those are our tips and tricks to help you get rich in Schedule 1. At the end of the day, though, you’ll mainly just boost your profits by continuously expanding your operation. Produce more and sell more to earn more, it’s as simple as that!
