Cocaine Laboratory (Laboratorul de Coke)¶
The Cocaine Laboratory represents another major illegal production unit intended for criminal organizations. It allows Official Mafias to process raw chemical materials and produce compact bricks or individual baggies of cocaine to secure massive profits.
Access & Requirements¶
To operate the Cocaine Laboratory, your organization must meet the following conditions:
- Official Status: This functionality is exclusively reserved for Official Mafias.
- Territory Control: You must capture and actively maintain the turf where the laboratory is located. Losing the territory blocks production and access.
- Map Location: The laboratory can be easily identified on the map and radar via a specific wooden crate/box icon.
- Rank Permissions: Initiating economic processes and deliveries requires the "Start Deliveries" permission configured under
/mafia-> Ranks.
Production Cycle¶
The process inside this laboratory relies on processing chemical substances up to the final stage of packaged pure product:
1. Washing and Preparation (Wash Station)¶
The first stage consists of transforming raw substances into a homogeneous composition through chemical washing.
Go to the central table inside the laboratory, step into the yellow circle, and press the E key (Open Wash Station).
Upon activation, the Wash Station interface will open (ex STAB CITY COKE LAB). Here you can monitor the occupied slots (ex 0/10 slots used) and the stock of required ingredients.
Required Ingredients
To start a washing cycle (1 Wash), you need:
* Raw Coca: You need 3 units (need 3).
* Acetone: You need 1 unit (need 1).
If you have the necessary materials (status OK), click the Start Wash button. The system will automatically start a timing minigame: a white line moves along a horizontal axis, and your goal is to press the Space bar exactly when the line is inside the green/turquoise zone.
After the passive processing/drying phase of the composition finishes, the resulting trays become ready for the next phase (Dried trays ready).
2. Pressing and Packaging Bricks (Wrap Table)¶
After the composition has dried in the trays, the next step is compacting the product into solid bricks.
Go to the end of the workbench into the light green circle and press the E key (Open Wrap Table).
The Wrap Table menu will open, allowing you to manage packaging into large blocks or splitting them into commercial baggies.
Material Requirement
To pack a brick, you need Plastic (1 unit / need 1).
Options available at this station:
- Wrap Brick: Consumes one prepared tray (
Dried trays ready) and one unit of plastic to create a compact brick. The system will generate a marker pointing to the ready tray; go to it and press E. A rapid circular minigame will start where you must repeatedly press the S key to fill the circle with color.
- Split Brick -> 50 baggies: If you already have a formed brick, you can use this option to crush and divide it into 50 individual small baggies, ready to be delivered or sold by the piece.
Distribution & Deliveries (Deliveries)¶
Once the cocaine bricks (Coke Bricks) or baggies have been produced, the final product can be commercialized via the laptop in the laboratory office.
Go to the office, stand inside the blue circle, and press the E key (Open Stock & Sales) to open the export management interface.
Sale Setup Steps¶
1. Product¶
Choose the type of product you want to deliver. The interface will display your current stock and the estimated value per unit. For instance, a cocaine brick (Coke Brick) has an estimated value of $15,000 - $22,000 per unit. Click on the product and then select Next.
2. Quantity¶
Use the - and + buttons to set the number of units you want to load into the transport. The system will display the maximum capacity available in your warehouse (ex Max 1. You have ×1 in stock). After making your selection, click Next.
3. Transport Method¶
Select how you want to transport the goods:
- Car: Standard road transport.
- Boat: Maritime transport. This strictly requires the driver/pilot to possess a sailing license (Sailing license required).
4. Dropoff Location¶
Choose the delivery point on the interactive map spanning Los Santos and Blaine County. The golden rule is PICK A DROPOFF — FARTHER PAYS MORE (the further the location, the higher the payout). Multipliers range from ×1 (near the laboratory) up to ×1.4 or ×1.5 in the southern areas of the map. Click Review.
5. Confirm (Summary & Risk)¶
The final screen displays the summary of your run (ex 1x Coke Brick via Car, distance of 7.0 km with a ×1.5 multiplier) and the total estimated reward ($22,509 - $33,013).
Strict Risk Rules (This is risky)
- No provided vehicle: You must bring your own car/boat for the transport; the game does not provide one.
- Time Limit: You have exactly 5 minutes to complete the run.
- Exposed Location: After the first 30 seconds from departure, your GPS position becomes fully visible on the map to police officers and rival mafias.
- Losing the Product: If you are eliminated or time runs out, the package drops on the ground, and you can completely lose the product.
If everything is ready, click the Start Delivery button.
Completing the Delivery¶
During the transport, a DRUG DELIVERY UI element at the bottom will display a countdown until your location is revealed alongside the remaining time for the run.
Once you reach the destination, approach the NPC buyer and press the E key (Complete drop-off).
Upon handing over the goods, the final Delivery Complete screen will open, detailing exactly how the transaction money is split:
Reward Breakdown & Money Split¶
- Total Payout: The final generated amount (in our example, $22,831), calculated from the base payout (Base payout: $15,215) multiplied by the distance bonus (Distance bonus: ×1.5).
- Your cut: You receive 30% of the total transport value as a reward for your labor (ex $6,850). This amount is paid directly into your wallet as cash (Paid to you).
- Family Vault: The remaining 70% of the transacted amount (ex $15,981) is automatically sent straight to the organization's vault (test vault/family vault), funding the mafia's finances.
