Overview

Drug labs are hidden locations scattered across the map where illegal factions can produce drugs. There are three types of labs, each with its own set of processing machines. Only 3 labs are active at any given time (one per type), and their locations change after being raided by law enforcement.

Labs are not marked on the map. Your faction must spend f-points to get an approximate location, then search the area on foot to find the entrance.

Lab Types

Each lab type has different processing machines inside it.

Finding a Lab

To get an approximate location of a lab, a tier 0 faction member must use /laptop and select the Dark Web option, then choose Find drug produce lab.

After paying, a checkpoint is placed at a random spot near the lab. The checkpoint is offset by 150 to 500 units in both X and Y directions, so it will not be on the exact lab location.

Entering a Lab

Walk up to the lab entrance on foot and use /enter. You will be teleported into the lab interior where the processing machines are located.

Pyridine Hydrochloride Order System

Pyridine Hydrochloride is a chemical needed for drug production. Factions earn pyridine stock passively by owning turfs, and can order deliveries through the Dark Web.

Stock and Refill

Every 2 hours, each illegal faction receives additional pyridine stock equal to the number of turfs they own, up to the maximum of 100.

Ordering a Drop

A tier 0 faction member can order a pyridine drop through /laptop > Dark Web > Order Pyridine Hydrochloride.

When an order is placed:

1. The cost is deducted from faction f-points and the ordered amount is deducted from faction stock.
2. Flares appear at a random landing zone in the Los Santos county area.
3. A checkpoint is set for the ordering player.
4. After 5 minutes, the flares disappear and a crate spawns at the landing zone.
5. Any player can pick up the crate by pressing N near it.

Random Drops

Pyridine drops can also occur randomly. When this happens, all non-law-enforcement players receive an SMS from a "Stranger" telling them a shipment has been dropped somewhere in Los Santos county. The drop contains 10 to 20 units and works the same way as an ordered drop.

Anhydride Chemical Run

Acetic Anhydride is another chemical used in drug production. It is obtained by doing a delivery run using a Sanchez motorcycle.

How It Works

1. Get on a Sanchez (model 468) and drive to the chemical plant.
2. Press N near the plant to load your vehicle. This costs $50,000 (taken from hand money).
3. A random drop-off checkpoint is set on your map. Drive to it.
4. When you arrive at the drop-off, you receive 5 units of Acetic Anhydride.

Drop-off Locations

There are 6 possible drop-off locations across the map, including spots in Las Venturas, San Fierro, and several in Los Santos (Willowfield, Commerce, Verdant Bluffs, and others). A random one is chosen each run.

Law Enforcement Raid Mechanics

Law enforcement and government faction members can enter a drug lab, but only if the lab has been used within the last 15 minutes. If no one has used the lab recently, law enforcement cannot enter.

Once inside, law enforcement can confiscate machines using /machine confiscate. This requires being tier 0. The confiscation process takes 60 seconds while your character performs an animation. You must stay near the machine during the entire process.

When a machine is confiscated, the system checks if the officer is inside a drug lab and marks it as raided. A raided lab is deactivated and respawns at a new random location after 6 hours.
