One of the criminal careers you can pick when firing up GTA 5 Online for the first time is MC President, and it comes with the opportunity of running your own Cocaine Lockup. Out of all the MC properties in the game, this is one of the most profitable for all types of players. With it, you can make a lot of money alone and invest in it to get some necessary upgrades to increase your profit. So, if you’re willing to bring Los Santos’ finest to its citizens, this is the way to go.
How To Get a Cocaine Lockup in GTA 5 Online
Before you even attempt to manage one of these properties, you must acquire it. To do that, you need to own a Clubhouse and become an MC President. After that, follow the next steps:
- Head to your Clubhouse after you’ve registered as an MC President.
- Find the terminal inside the building and enter the Open Road website.
- Select any of the Cocaine Lockups on the map and buy it.
There are four Cocaine Lockups you can buy in GTA 5 Online, and they are priced as follows:
- Alamo Sea ($975,000.00)
- Paleto Bay ($1,098,000.00)
- Elysian Island ($1,462,500.00)
- Morningwood ($1,852,500.00)
In our case, we bought the Alama Sea one because it is the cheapest and the one with the most centralized location, meaning you have better access for resupply and sell missions. Once buy your property, head to it and do a short set up mission to get it running.
Buying and Selling Stock
When you set up your Cocaine Lockup in GTA 5 Online, you’ll have enough product to start producing your white powder. If you run out of supplies, there are two ways to get more for your business.
- Purchase more supplies by spending $45,000.00.
- Start a re-supply mission from the lockup’s terminal.
We recommend the first choice as it is less time-consuming, and you’ll get your money back in a few minutes. However, if you prefer to save some cash, you can run a few re-supply jobs until your business is fully stocked.
Once your product bar starts filling up, you’re free to start a sale. However, we have a few recommendations for solo players. If you’re playing alone, only sell when you have one and a half bars of product. Anything beyond that will spawn another sell vehicle most of the time, meaning you’ll need to return to the lockup and grab the new car to deliver the cocaine. This will take more time and might jeopardize your sales. So, it is better to be safe than sorry and sell in small doses.
All Cocaine Lockup Upgrades
Once you have the businesses running and money is coming in, it is crucial to get some upgrades. Here are the ones you can buy for the lockup:
- Equipment Upgrade: $935,000.00
- Staff Upgrade: $390,000.00
- Security Upgrade: $570,000.00
We recommend getting the Staff Upgrade first, as it increases the product’s quality and speeds its production, meaning your sales will be better. For a full stock of cocaine, a sale should net you around $420,000.00 after buying all upgrades. Still, you can do small sales and get a few hundred thousand GTA$ to improve this property or buy other things.
Overall, this is one of the best businesses you can get, and the investment is worth it. Besides, doing jobs for this property in an invite-only session is safe, and you won’t have to deal with any griefers, leaving the digital drug market of Los Santos yours for the taking.
