Illegal Activities/Illegal Drugs
Illegal Drugs
Drug runs are typically require farming or gathering. The street price varies for each making some illicit substance operations more valuable and worthwhile than others.
The processing of each drug is operated by either the Cartel or Mobster. It's advised to consider which gang owns the relevant bases before denying fees.
Drug Dealers
You can sell most illicit substances to drug dealers with the exception of moonshine (see below). Drug dealers don't always hang out in the same spots; they can generally be found on the outskirts of the island.
Drug Slinging
Drug signing operates much like an illicit Uber-Eats, only you're delivering drugs not food. Weed, meth, cocaine, and mushrooms can be divided into smaller "bite-sized" portions for customers around the island. Selling drugs in residential areas will return dirty money and "gang rep" for that turf, where applicable.
Cuban Cigars
Tobacco
Creating Cuban Cigars is the illegal late stage of processing tobacco. The first stages to follow are legal activities:
- Harvest tobacco from the tobacco farm fields
- Refine the raw leaves at the tobacco processing facility
- Craft the tobacco into cigars at the cigar processor
Creating Cuban Cigars
If you choose to create Cuban Cigars, you will need to transport processed Cigars back to Cuba. You can process your cigars into their Cuban varieties for a fee at the Cuban Cigar Processor. Cuban Cigars can then be sold to the Cuban Cigar Trader or laced with cocaine or meth for more profit and additional benefits to the smoker.
Cocaine laces cigars offer a speed boost in return for great thirst. Meth-laced cigars offer a different benefit; the higher the purity of meth used to lace the cigar, the better the profit and perks offered.
