Selling Drugs
Sell hand-to-hand to locals, haggle, manage heat, level up as a dealer and move bricks to the bulk buyer.
There are two ways to turn product into cash:
| Who buys | What they buy |
|---|---|
| Locals on the street | |
| The bulk buyer |
Better grade / purity means better offers. Every sale gives dealer XP and heats up the block you are on - see Drugs Overview for how dealer level and heat work.
Before you begin
- Product to sell (see Processing Weed).
- To be on foot - you can't sell from a vehicle.
- For the bulk buyer: a
Darkweb Tablet to read where he's waiting.
Selling to locals
- Walk up to a local on foot. [E] Offer to sell floats over their head.
- Press E. They stop and turn to you.
- They either refuse ("Not interested.") - try someone else - or make an offer: "I'll take 2x for $...".
- Pick Deal to hand it over and get paid, Push for more to haggle, or Walk away.
The local chooses what they want from what you carry, and how many.
Haggling
- Push for more is a gamble. If it works you get a higher "last offer".
- If it fails they walk off - and sometimes they call the police.
- You can push at most twice per deal, and the second push is harder. Higher dealer levels win more often.
Prices and areas
What a local offers depends on grade, the area, the block's heat, your dealer level and a bit of luck.
| Area type | Prices | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| Rich | Higher | Locals call the police more often |
| Normal city | Normal | - |
| Poor | Lower | Fewer calls, but robberies are more common |
Getting robbed
- Sometimes a local grabs the product and runs.
- Chase them and knock them down (punch, tackle, taser...) before they get away.
- Stand next to them and press E on Take your stuff back.
Dealing on gang turf
Selling inside a territory owned by a gang you are not in alerts that gang right away: a dark web message from streetwatch, a notification and a red blip on you for a short time. Members dealing on their own turf get a better price and trigger no alert. See Gangs & Turf.
The bulk buyer
- Find the buyer - a man in a suit, smoking, waiting somewhere quiet. He only shows up once you're fairly close.
- Press E on Talk to the buyer. He lists your bricks with a price each.
- He only takes a handful of bricks per person per visit.
- He moves to a new spot every few hours, or sooner once he has bought his fill.
The bulk buyer advertises on the dark web as wholesale_wes. Carry a Darkweb Tablet, use
/dwhints if you just got one, and watch for a new tip when he moves. His spots can be in the city or the countryside, always out of sight.
Ask around which corners are "cold" right now - the dealers who've been at it longest will know. Rich hills pay best but are full of people who like calling the police.
Costs & rewards
- Cash for every sale - more for better grade, rich areas, cold blocks and a higher dealer level.
- Dealer XP for every street and bulk sale, up to level 10.
- Every bulk deal has a small chance that the police get a tip about a big buy.
Common problems
- No "Offer to sell" prompt - you're in a vehicle, carry nothing they buy, or the person is police, EMS, fire, a ranger, a soldier or a prisoner.
- "Slow down - people are watching" - leave a few seconds between deals.
- A local won't buy again - each local only buys once, then not from you for a long while.
- "That's enough from you today." - you hit the bulk buyer's limit for this visit.
- "Bricks only." - the bulk buyer doesn't take joints or baggies. Press them into bricks first.
- Prices keep dropping - the block is hot. Move a couple of blocks.
