How to unlock a Dealer in Schedule 1

The expansion of your drug empire in Schedule 1 largely depends on how many items you’re selling on a daily basis, and having a dealer to assist you will be immensely beneficial.

Unlocking a dealer comes with the base set of quests, but the game doesn’t tell you that at first. This guide will help you streamline the process of unlocking your first dealer, a guy named Benji.

How to get your first Dealer in Schedule 1

Unlocking the first dealer, aka Benji, requires around 2-2.5 hours of gameplay, by my count, if not more. You’ll have to establish a base in Northtown by regularly shipping products to your customers. This will help you to progress along the missions that Uncle Nelson assigns.

One of those quests involves unlocking 10 customers. This mission requires you to find new customers while selling drugs to the existing ones. To find potential customers, open the Northtown map. You’ll find a band of individuals that you can attract as new customers by visiting them with the offer of free samples.

Once you have unlocked ten new customers, you’ll get a call from Uncle Nelson, who will tell you about Benji. Benji is the only dealer available in Northtown, and you’ll need to impress Chloe Bowers (there’s another guy, but I never bothered) by meeting her orders. Once you have a friendly status with her, Chloe will talk about Benji.

Benji is in the room next to your own in the Motel, beside the Skate Park. Knock on the door, and you’ll get the option to interact with him. To hire Benji, you’ll have to give a bonus of $500, and he will take a cut of 20% from every transaction.

This is how you unlock your first dealer in Schedule 1, and you’ll get the chance to hire more as you level up and get access to more areas on the map.
