Introduction
Cocaine is another of the illegal runs on Altis. It is also one of the easiest illegal items to run when you are first becoming financially stable enough to be able to afford armaments to protect yourself and large enough vehicles to increase your profits.
Starting the Run
Before starting this run, it is strongly recommended to check the price of processed cocaine for optimal profits and to follow the list below to make sure you have all the required equipment.
- Food & Water
- Bergen Backpack for space
- A vehicle to store the cocaine
- Cocaine processing license ($30,000 at the processor)
- Head to the cocaine field northeast of DP11 to fill your vehicle and optionally your backpack using left windows key in the cocaine field area.
Processing Cocaine
- Head south of the cocaine field to the cocaine processor to turn your goods into processed cocaine
- To process, scroll wheel on the NPC inside of the shed, you can either process from the vehicle or from your backpack and must remain within 25m of the NPC.
- Before pressing Process, it will give you the time required to process. Canceling processing will process items up to the progress you obtained.
Processing Crack Cocaine
- After turning your unprocessed cocaine into processed cocaine, you will get the option to “Double Process” to turn it into crack cocaine.
- Turning processed cocaine into crack cocaine increases your profits once sold (x1.25 current price).
Selling
- After finishing processing take your vehicle to any Drug Dealer. The closest to the cocaine processor is south of Neochori.
- Scroll wheel on the drug dealer to sell your cocaine on your person, you will need to manually remove the drugs from the vehicle to sell.
- When finished selling go to any ATM the closest being at the Neochori Hospital to store the money via scroll wheel or left windows key on the ATM.
Payout
- The average payout for a cocaine run using a box truck and a bergen backpack (210 cocaine) is $698,250 for processed cocaine and $872,760 for crack.
- If your gang is in control of the cartel, it will allow you to hold onto 15% more of the profits, which is otherwise paid as gang tax to the controlling gang.
Run Time
- Using a tier 4 box truck, the run took 30 minutes and 16 seconds. The alternate route posted above will be 31 minutes. If one was to double process it would take 40-45 minutes.
