Gun Smuggling

Gun Smuggling is the long haul job of the illegal menu — six steps at the docks with a truck, a trailer and a forklift, and $17,000 at the end of it. Nothing to buy, no guards to fight; the challenge is patience and heavy vehicle handling.

• Truck spawn: -477.41, -2749.36, 6.03 · Trailer: -469.24, -2757.37, 7.79
• Forklift: -47.54, -2423.39, 5.46
• Containers (four of them): around -58.66, -2421 … -2412, 5.0
• Delivery points (four):

Step-by-Step

1. Talk to the contact NPC at the docks to take the job.
2. Drive to the container area — the truck and trailer are parked nearby.
3. Force open the container lids with the target button.
4. Take the forklift and load the weapon crates onto the truck.
5. Drive and deliver to each of the four marked delivery points. Every crate pays as you drop it.
6. Return the vehicles to finish the run. (10 minutes)

What You Get & Where to Sell It

Nothing to sell, and no weapons stay in your inventory — the crates are cargo, not loot.

Payment	Spawn code	When	Amount
Per crate delivered	black_money	Each drop-off you complete	$2,125 × 4
Completion reward	black_money	When the run ends	$8,500

How much money total? $17,000 in black money for a full run. The per-crate money goes to the player who makes the delivery, so in a duo you can split the four routes and each keep what you deliver. Take the dirty cash to Money Wash to make it spendable.

💰 Cost vs Reward

	Amount
Investment (one-time)	An illegal_tablet to open the menu — nothing else
Cost per run	$0 — truck, trailer and forklift are all provided
Reward per run	$17,000 black money
Break-even	Immediate
After that	Pure profit — the highest zero-cost payout below level 4

Tips & Common Mistakes

• Open every container lid before you get on the forklift. Hopping between the two wastes most of the run's time.
• Take it slow with the forklift. Dropping a crate off the forks costs far more time than driving carefully.
• Bring a partner and split the four delivery points. The per-crate money goes to whoever makes the drop, so a duo finishes in about half the time for the same total.
• Do the last step. Returning the vehicles pays the $8,500 completion reward — half the run.
• Expect the same docks every time. Only one container area exists; the variety is in the delivery routes.

FAQ

What level is Gun Smuggling?

Level 3 — 2,000 EXP on the illegal menu.

How much does Gun Smuggling pay?

$17,000 in black money per run: $2,125 for each of the four crates you deliver, plus an $8,500 completion reward when you return the vehicles.

Do I get weapons from this job?

No. The crates are cargo — you never take a gun out of them. The whole reward is money.

No. The truck, trailer and forklift are all spawned for you, so the run costs nothing at all.
