Overview
A Small guide with info that i found useful, I will not go in to Mixing because there is an other author that is writing this ATM and for me to add this information is only copping from his work. but link is here Holyvision’s Mixing Your Junk Guide
Introduction
Now I can wright an essay about what the game is about or… show you a link from the devs explaining you this them selfs. So… Marcus over to you.
Basic Controls
Getting started
After finishing up the tutorial portion of the game I advice to order 12g of Marihuana and 10g Amphetamine on your PC at the players home, You Order by selecting Eddie and by clicking on the chat bar ( like you did with the customers orders). This takes some time to be droped off at some random location so make your way over to the Gas Station to buy 2 packs of Backing soda (It’s left when exiting the door and at the street make a right) If You still didn’t get a text that your package is ready then I advice you to look for some Spray Paint, These can be randomly found in-front of graffiti murals (Look for black spray cans)
By now you have got the message that your product is ready so go collect and head home, Look for a desk (This is where you will handel your product) You have 3 tabs to [TAB] trough, called :
LAB MODE, DRUG PLACEMENT MODE and EQUIPMENT MODE
Lab Mode: In this Tab you be mixing and bagging your Product
Drug Placement Mode : Lets you place Product that is in your inventory on the table
Equipment Mode : Let’s you put down equipment you have, like the Mixing Tray.
Begin by Placing the Mixing Tray on the desk and the Big Jar (For the Marihuana), now place your Product down. In order to make more money you can alter the Amphetamine so you have a little more. For just starting out I like to mix 10g of Amphetamine with 3g of Backing Soda, this still gives your costumers a good product and you more money, to do this go to the LAB MODE and Left Click and drag your 10g Amphetamine on the Tray and then do the same with the 12g Backing Soda but select 3g of Backing Soda, Now Right Click the tray and select Apply Mix.
The end result is 12,98g of New Amphetamine Mix (give or take a 0,0is gram) From here on, when a costumer mails you for Product, just bag it and run it off to them.
Lockpicking
Some routes and locations can be accessed by the use of a Bobby Pin. Bobby Pins can be bought at the “Gas Station” for 5$ each, or Randomly found in abandoned structures. To unlock locks you simply need to press “F” when a door or gate gives you the indication that you can lockpick to open (If you can’t lockpick the object the door/gate will give a ramble sound). By moving the “Mouse” left and right you can rotate the bobby pin and then use the “F” Key to turn the lock gently till the door opens, If the lock won’t turn just alter the position of the bobby pin, just remember to be careful not to over press “F” or the bobby pin will break.
Bobby Pins can unlock multiple doors/gates so no need to over buy them. Also note that Police are not gone be happy with you breaking in so keep an eye out before you attempted this.
Items found in structures:
- Bobby Pins
- Water Bottles
- Cash
- Small Bag of drugs
Drugs Word Salad
If your like me the drug envirment is something your not familiar with, Much less what they call things like Marihuana. Then here is a list of names Clients will use to order stuff with.
- Marihuana: Weed, Grass, MJ, Ganja
- Amphetamine: Amp, Speed, Fet
- Ecstasy: Mdma, Candy
- Crystal Meth: Meth, Crystal
- Cocaine: Coke, Snow, Collombian
- Heroine: China White, Hero
Drug Samples and Spraying
To get more Clients or Orders you need to have Respect, Respect can be seen as “Word of Mouth”. This is gained by giving drug samples and spraying. Now it is my understanding that handing out free drugs don’t give you random new clients, like stated before new clients come from respect levels after you got all the clients from an aria that’s it, no more new clients, The only thing left for Respect is the amount and how fast new orders come in.
Night Time Police Hours
Your first instinct is to sleep but don’t, Night time is your friend and here is why:
- There is more Xp and Rep to be gained.
- At night Police detection is much lower then the daytime. The general tip is to lower your Music and boost your Effect audio so you can better hear the Police Radio chatter,( As of writing Police Shatter volume is paired with Effect sounds, Sadly this means you footsteps, door opening stuff will be loud, I hope they fix this and put it under voice volume one day.) This gives an indication of where the police are.
- There is no chance on DEA noticing you selling, This will become a problem later on in the game when your selling big amounts. During the day I have to restrain my self for over selling so I try to do other stuff like ordering drugs, mixing all the product, keeping rep up with spraying, samples or small deliveries.
- But take this as a warning… If you go over to much after you get the ingame warning… The DEA will come and this will be Game Over for you unless you escape Trough a window by lockpicking it.

Psychedelics Gang
At level 17 you receive a phone call from Eddy informing you that there are some folks looking to sell there product. In order to gain access to there merch and a buyer for your weed ( At only 4$ per gram sadly) You need to complete 3 Quests.
1) You need to locate them by asking your clients where they are, this is done by selecting the 3de option in there dialogue list (Not all will have that option) When delivering produced. Keep at it till one of them gives you a password phrase.
2) Walter is gone ask you to intercept 3 notes from a Rat accomplish, These notes spawn 4 hours apart from each other and can be found in different locations in sector B. You need to find and deliver them each before the next will spawn 4 hours later.
(Map below shows locations where at random you find a note in a container. Try doing this during daytime so cops won’t bother you.)

3) For you last quest you need to break in the police yard and wipe any data about the gang with help of a USB stick.
With this done you now can add LSD,Mushrooms and DMT in ShadyComm.

Keniji / La Ballena Gang
Keniji / Ballena Gang
There are two Gangs in the game La Bellena and Keniji, To unlock this you need to be lvl20 and have Sector A unlocked. (Slums,Kennel and …) The Gang you end up working with is depended on your Risk Factor & Exposition Factor when you answer the call from Edie that informs you of the gang. You can only work for one gang so if you don’t get the one your after then reload your game.
If it’s La Ballena you end up with you will notice that cops will ignore you and no new orders will come in till you meet with gang at the night club.
Video from https://www.youtube.com/user/loan4cards
La Bellena: Visit Bellana’s between 8pm – 5am at the Night Club, To gain 500 Reputation you need to sell Cocaine. Purity needs to be 75% Sugar or washing powder are good fillers
Keniji: Visit Keniji between 11am – 6pm at his restaurant Scarlett Dragon, To gain 500 Reputation you need to sell Crystal Meth. 60% Sugar or washing powder are good fillers
First order will start at 200g and the amount will go up with every delivery done. You have 3 days to complete every delivery ( I do these during the day because this won’t attract DEA unlike your clients) After every delivery you need to confirm this on your labtop, when you do this you get an invitation to get your money and a notification on rep gain (Drop your backpack because the money will be in a briefcase). There is no way to see your current rep.
Tip and Trips
As the game progresses it can get very overwhelming fast, keeping up with supplying Dealers, Cooking new batches, Cartel Requests, Playing Pacman with the Police and Not attracting the DEA. It’s hard to be a Drug Dealer (5 min crapping my pants from laughing) So how do you manage this then? How do you Play then author of the crappy guide mr.Xent?
From the start, spend points in to Quick Learner till you got it at next cost 7 points, this gives you 2 more skill points to spend each level forward.
My preferred gaming session begins with the Skill Salesman … DON’T Spend any points in this skill, Like the skill mentions it ups the amount of orders you get and maybe at first this is a very nice skill to have, but in mid-game it overwhelms you.
Save alot on at leased two files, If something happens your not happy with like a random scripted death or you messing up a mix you can load with out losing a lot of progress.
Buy the Small Docks Warehouse (West Old Town) ASAP, it has easy access to all the arias in A sector except for The Kennel.
Keep your business to sector A, I know you feel the need to expand, but keep in mind you are alone and keeping up with A and B is gone driver you crazy fast.
You can Control when you want to start with the gangs, just don’t unlock the kennel or The Slums.
If asked.. I prefer the La Ballenas Cartel over Keniji, Cocaine is easier then Meth in my opinion.
7am to 8pm (The Day Shift)
Collect first delivery of product ordered. Pay Eddie. Order Second Batch (Like to keep order under 1kg total weight) Collect money from Dealers. Stock up on additives like Sugar,Viagra… Deal with gang orders. Cook my Product for my dealers. Spray paint to keep rep up. Small Deliveries (Clients not dealers)
8pm to 7am (The Night Shift)
Packaging product for dealers. Deliveries. Serving Clients.
4am (Ordering Time)
I look over my leftovers and Order my first Delivery (An order takes 3 hours to deliver and you don’t want to cross the border during night time)
