Although Schedule 1 seems simple, the game has great depth. To prove yourselves in the market and survive, we will show you useful tips.
What kind of tips are these? These are tips and tricks that can improve your gaming experience or even earn you more money.
We have selected the best tips for you that not everyone knows or that may only become clear to you at a later stage of your gameplay. With our directory, you can quickly jump to the individual tips if you’re only interested in a specific selection:
1. The golden skateboard is a must-buy
For many, the skateboard is the best way to get around Hyland Point quickly. There are 5 different models to buy. To do this, visit the “Shred Shack” container located next to “Bud’s Bar”. Usually, players choose the model that looks better to them. However, you should rather go for the golden skateboard, as it is the fastest of its kind.
The golden skateboard costs you $1,500, but it’s a top investment. The board is very fast, agile, and can be used by you at any time, as it fits in your inventory. So, if you want a fast means of transportation, buy the board right at the beginning.
2. The police are predictable
When you carry out your courier activities, the worst thing that can happen is being caught by the police. But how can you avoid them? It’s simple, you learn their patrol routes by heart and move around Hyland Point without coming into their line of sight.
The NPCs in Schedule 1 always have the same patrol routes and repeat them consistently – there are no deviations. If you memorize these routes, you can operate under the police’s radar.
You should avoid entering the line of sight of the law enforcement officers, or they will take notice of you. So try to avoid the direct gaze of the police. You can actually sneak away behind the police without being seen.
3. Always conduct your deliveries “Late Night”
Do you have a ton of messages from your clients and you don’t care about the delivery times, as long as you bring the products to the buyer quickly and collect the cash? If so, then you have thrown away a lot of money.
When you make deliveries, set your delivery time to “Late Night”. This grants you the so-called “Curfew Bonus”, also known as the curfew bonus. This amounts to 20% of the sale price and is added to your profit – for each delivery. So, on a $1,000 worth of meth, you can earn around $200 extra cash when you conduct your deliveries “Late Night”. If you sum up your bonuses, you will receive a nice tip.
4. There are 6 vehicles, but only one right choice
When it comes to vehicles, you have the option of buying a car in addition to your skateboard. In total, there are 6 different vehicles available, but which one should you choose and does price matter?
When purchasing, it is essential to pay attention to one thing: storage space. When it comes to available storage space, there is one vehicle that outperforms all others – The Veeper.
This transporter costs only $9,000 and offers a class that provides space for 16 storage slots. This is very convenient when you want to transport things with your van and bring them to another storage location.
The other vehicles are not worth it, as they do not offer the amount of storage space that The Veeper has. Additionally, The Veeper is fast enough and can accelerate effectively when you want to speed through the streets.
5. Invest early in side businesses
You’ll quickly notice in Schedule 1 that your cash is steadily increasing, but your bank account remains empty. Since you can’t simply deposit the money, you need to launder it. Therefore, it’s important to invest in side businesses early in the game so that you can wash your money. Otherwise, you’ll have hundreds of thousands of dollars in your wallet but not a cent in the bank.
6. Pay attention to the quality of your drugs
There are various ways to improve your drugs. The best method is to start fertilizing your plants early on.
If you fertilize your crops regularly, the quality of your drugs will improve and your customers will be satisfied. If you ignore this act, you will lose customer satisfaction, which is bad for business.
7. Buying a weapon: Necessary or a waste of money?
Street life can be dangerous and as a dealer, you should arm yourself, but is it worth it in Schedule 1?
When it comes to fighting, you don’t need to worry. As long as you don’t rip off your customers with cheap stuff, don’t mess with the pawn shop owner, and avoid the police, you won’t need weapons – especially not a gun.
So you can feel free to save your money. However, if you want to experience the life of an outlaw immersively, you can resort to knives or guns.
8. Strikes can help NPCs
Less of a tip and more of a help. If you want to interact with an NPC, but the window showing you actions like selling your drugs doesn’t appear, give the NPC a whack with your skateboard or your fist. Usually, this NPC will then regain composure and you can select the interaction you need.
But be careful, there are some NPCs who will pull out their guns or even a knife and want to come after you.
