Cocaine Smuggling is the level 1 lab job with the same excellent margin as weed: a $100 input becomes a product worth several hundred. Three production stages inside a hidden lab, then you take the packed coke to the street.

Overview

  • Type: Illegal menu job — drug lab production
  • Level required: 1 (the starting level)
  • Where: A hidden cocaine lab, marked on your GPS when you start the job
  • Payout: $500–$2,000 black money on completion, plus all the packed_coke you made
  • Risk: Low at the lab — the real heat is on the street sale

Requirements

  • Level 1 in the illegal menu — no grind needed.
  • The illegal tablet (illegal_tablet) in your inventory — using it opens the illegal menu. There is no command and no hotkey.
  • Not police, sheriff or EMS.

Required item:

Item Spawn code Where to get Price
Powdered Milk powdered_milk Illegal market (inside the menu) $100
  • One powdered_milk is consumed per unit of coke produced — buy several up front.
  • The illegal market takes cash or bank card only; black money is refused.
  • Purchases arrive by drone about 10 seconds after buying.

How to Start

  1. Use the illegal tablet (illegal_tablet) to open the illegal menu.
  2. Buy powdered_milk from the illegal market tab.
  3. Pick Cocaine Smuggling from the job list. A lab is marked on your GPS.

📍 Locations

Cocaine Labs — the GPS marks one per run:

  • 1002.53, -1527.95, 30.84 (city)
  • 173.53, 2778.81, 46.08 (Harmony / desert)
  • 2318.89, 2553.43, 47.69 (northern hills)
  • 198.93, 2459.08, 55.69 (shared lab interior)

Inside the shell lab, the entrance sits at 1088.58, -3190.39, -39.5.

Sell: not at the lab. You keep the product and sell it on the street.

Step-by-Step

  1. Buy powdered milk. Illegal tablet → illegal market → powdered_milk, one per unit you plan to make (5–10 for a first run).
  2. Start the job and drive to the Cocaine Lab marked on your GPS.
  3. Unpack. Use an unpacking station — consumes one powdered_milk, gives unpacked_coke. Two stations in the shell lab.
  4. Cut. Take it to a cutting station → cutted_coke. Four cutting stations, so this stage never bottlenecks a crew.
  5. Package. Finish at a packaging station → packed_coke. Two stations.
  6. Leave the lab to complete the job and collect $500–$2,000 black money.
  7. Sell the packed coke on the street with /startsell.

What You Get & Where to Sell It

The completion money is automatic. The product is yours to move.

Item Spawn code What it's for Sell price
Unpacked Coke unpacked_coke Intermediate — cut it —
Cut Coke cutted_coke Intermediate — package it —
Packed Coke packed_coke The product you sell $600–$800 per unit
Black Money black_money Completion reward — dirty, launder it $500–$2,000 per run

Where to sell packed_coke: street dealing with /startsell, which needs a burnerphone. NPC customers buy 1–3 units at $600–$800 each, so one customer is worth $600–$2,400. Paid in black money, anywhere on the map.

⚠️ The street sale is the dangerous part. Nearly every sale alerts the police. Some customers refuse to buy, and some try to rob you instead of paying. Sell in short bursts and keep moving.

How much money total? A 10-unit run costs $1,000 and produces coke worth $6,000–$8,000, plus the $500–$2,000 completion reward. All of it is black money — wash it at Money Wash.

💰 Cost vs Reward

Amount
Investment (one-time) An illegal_tablet for the menu, a burnerphone for selling
Cost per unit powdered_milk — $100
Reward per unit $600–$800 black money on the street
Reward per run + $500–$2,000 completion money
Break-even The first unit sold covers six inputs
After that About 6–8× your input — tied with weed for the best margin

Tips & Common Mistakes

  • Buy all your powdered milk before you drive out. Each unit needs its own.
  • Use the four cutting stations. With a crew, cutting is the stage that scales — split the work.
  • Never sell your whole batch in one place. Spread sales across districts.
  • Carry a burnerphone or /startsell will not start.
  • Keep clean cash aside. The illegal market refuses black money, so you always need washed cash for the next supply run.

FAQ

What level do I need for Cocaine Smuggling?

Level 1 — the starting level. All you really need is the illegal_tablet and $100 per unit of powdered_milk.

How much does packed coke sell for?

$600–$800 per unit through /startsell street dealing, with each customer taking 1–3 units. Payment is black money.

Is cocaine better than weed or meth?

Cocaine and weed share the best margin — a $100 input for a $600–$800 product. Meth costs $600 an input for the same sale price, so it is the weakest of the three. Weed has more stations, so it produces faster; cocaine has more cutting stations for crews.

Do I sell the coke at the lab?

No. The lab pays only the completion reward. The packed_coke stays in your inventory and is sold on the street with /startsell.

Is this the same as the Cocaine drug chain?

No. Cocaine (Grow, Pack & Sell) is the separate farm-to-dealer chain. This is the illegal menu lab, which uses powdered_milk and produces packed_coke.
