Meth Lab Run

Meth Lab Run is the third of the level 1 lab jobs. Same idea as weed and coke — cook in a hidden lab, keep the product, sell it on the street — but the inputs cost far more, so read the money section before you commit a night to it.

Overview

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

Requirements

• Level 1 in the illegal menu.
• The illegal tablet (illegal_tablet) in your inventory — using it opens the illegal menu.
• Not police, sheriff or EMS.

Required items — you need both:

Item	Spawn code	Where to get	Price
Ammonia	ammonia	Illegal market (inside the menu)	$100
Sulfuric Acid	sacid	Illegal market (inside the menu)	$500

• One of each is consumed per cook — that is $600 per unit of meth, by far the most expensive input on the illegal menu.
• 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 ammonia and sacid from the illegal market tab — one pair per unit.
3. Pick Meth Lab Run from the job list. A lab is marked on your GPS.

📍 Locations

Meth Labs — the GPS marks one per run:

• 2200.77, 3318.18, 46.94 (Sandy Shores)
• 1569.67, -2130.12, 78.33 (city outskirts)
• 916.69, 3576.99, 33.56 (Grapeseed)
• 198.93, 2459.08, 55.69 (shared lab interior)

Inside the shell lab, the entrance sits at 997.72, -3198.73, -37.39.

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

Step-by-Step

1. Buy your chemicals. Illegal tablet → illegal market → one ammonia and one sacid for every unit of meth you want.
2. Start the job and drive to the Meth Lab on your GPS.
3. Cook. At the cooking station, one ammonia + one sacid becomes cooked_meth.
4. Hammer. Break the crystal down at the hammering station → breaked_meth.
5. Package. Bag it at the packaging station → packed_meth.
6. Leave the lab to complete the job and collect $500–$2,000 black money.
7. Sell the packed meth on the street with /startsell.

⚠️ Meth has only one station per stage. Unlike the weed and coke labs, a crew cannot work in parallel here — everyone queues for the same cooker. Expect a slower run.

What You Get & Where to Sell It

Item	Spawn code	What it's for	Sell price
Cooked Meth	cooked_meth	Intermediate — hammer it	—
Broken Meth	breaked_meth	Intermediate — package it	—
Packed Meth	packed_meth	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_meth: street dealing with /startsell, which needs a burnerphone. Customers buy 1–3 units at $600–$800 each, paid in black money, anywhere on the map.

⚠️ Nearly every street sale alerts the police, some customers refuse, and some rob you. Sell in short bursts and move between districts.

How much money total? Ten units cost $6,000 in chemicals and sell for $6,000–$8,000, plus the $500–$2,000 completion reward. The completion money is what makes the run worth it — the product itself barely beats its own input cost. Wash the black money at Money Wash.

💰 Cost vs Reward

	Amount
Investment (one-time)	An illegal_tablet for the menu, a burnerphone for selling
Cost per unit	ammonia $100 + sacid $500 = $600
Reward per unit	$600–$800 black money on the street
Reward per run	+ $500–$2,000 completion money
Net per unit	Roughly $0–$200 — thin
Verdict	Run it for the completion reward and the roleplay, not the margin

Tips & Common Mistakes

• Do the maths before you buy. At $600 an input for a $600–$800 sale, meth makes far less per unit than weed or cocaine, which cost $100 an input for the same sale price.
• Cook a small batch. Since the margin is thin, the completion reward is the real prize — a short run collects it just as well as a long one.
• Don't bring a big crew. One station per stage means extra people just wait in line.
• Carry a burnerphone or /startsell will not run.
• Keep clean cash for chemicals — the market will not take black money.

FAQ

How much does packed meth sell for?

$600–$800 per unit via /startsell street dealing, with 1–3 units per customer, paid in black money.

Why is meth worse than weed or cocaine?

The inputs. Meth needs ammonia ($100) and sacid ($500) — $600 per unit — while weed and cocaine need a single $100 item. All three sell for the same $600–$800, so meth nets almost nothing per unit while the others net $500–$700.

Can I run the meth lab with friends?

You can, but there is only one station per stage, so a group ends up queuing. The weed lab (four gather, four packing) and the cocaine lab (four cutting stations) are the crew-friendly ones.

What level do I need?

Level 1 — the starting level. The cost of chemicals is the real barrier, not the level.

Is this the same as the Meth drug chain?

No. Meth (Collect, Cook & Sell) is the separate chemical-gathering chain. This is the illegal menu lab that uses ammonia and sacid to produce packed_meth.
