Unlocking the production of cocaine, or “Coke,” in Schedule 1 is a significant milestone, marking a shift towards high-profit, high-risk operations. This guide provides a detailed walkthrough of the process, from establishing crucial connections within the Dock Area to the final stages of processing and distribution. Mastering this process is essential for players aiming to maximize their earnings and dominate the in-game economy.
How to Unlock Coke
Unlocking Coke in Schedule 1 requires progressing through the game and reaching the necessary rank, establishing key connections, and following a structured process for production. Here’s a step-by-step guide to unlocking and producing Coke efficiently:
Step 1: Reach the Enforcer Rank
To unlock cocoa seeds, which are essential for making Coke, you need to advance to the Docks Section of the game. This requires achieving the Enforcer Rank, which is quite far down in the ranking system. To get there, you must sell a significant amount of product and expand your operation.
Step 2: Establish Connections in the Dock Area
Once you’ve unlocked the Dock Area, begin selling product and gaining new customers there. Your goal is to establish a connection with Javier or another key contact linked to the cocoa supplier. To achieve this:
- Find their location and start selling to them.
- Put your product up for sale in the Dock Area.
- Build a strong relationship by consistently supplying them with product.
- Eventually, they will introduce you to the cocoa supplier via a phone call.
Step 3: Obtain and Plant Cocoa Seeds
After making contact, you can order cocoa seeds over the phone and pick them up at the Dead Drops. Once obtained, plant them similarly to how you would grow bud:
- Plant the cocoa seeds.
- Use manure or fertilizer to aid growth.
- Water them regularly.
- Use grow lights to speed up the process, as cocoa plants take longer to mature compared to bud.
Step 4: Harvest and Dry Cocoa Leaves
Once your cocoa plants are fully grown, harvest the cocoa leaves. These can be dried to improve their quality up to Orange Quality, which significantly increases their market value. High-quality dried leaves can sell for around $500 per unit.
Step 5: Cook Cocoa Leaves into Coke Base
To begin the transformation process, you’ll need cauldrons and gasoline:
- Place the cocoa leaves into the cauldrons.
- Use a chemist to process the leaves if available.
- Allow time for the cooking process to complete.
- Once cooked, the product will turn into a solid form.
Step 6: Final Processing in the Oven
After obtaining the solidified base, the next step is baking:
- Place the solid product into an oven.
- Let it cook until it reaches the correct consistency.
- Use a hammer to break it down into pure cocaine.
Step 7: Optimize for Maximum Profit
While you can sell pure cocaine immediately, mixing it can significantly increase its value. Experiment with different mixing techniques to create high-end variations of the product, maximizing profits. Once you get the process refined, the money will start flowing rapidly.
Step 8: Scale Up Your Operation
To expand your business:
- Continue ranking up to access larger Dead Drops.
- Pay off debts to ensure a steady supply of cocoa seeds.
- Upgrade equipment such as grow lights, cauldrons, and ovens to increase production efficiency.
Following these steps will allow you to unlock, produce, and sell Coke in Schedule 1, making it one of the most lucrative operations in the game.
