๐ก Tip: Lab slots determine how many production stations you can run simultaneously. More lab slots = more product output per day. Prioritize lab slots over storage if you are actively dealing.
๐๏ธ Starter Properties (4 properties)
Free or cheap hideouts to get your operation off the ground. Limited space but low overhead keeps you in the green while building rep.
๐ Mid-Tier Properties (5 properties)
Solid working hideouts with room to expand production. Worth investing in once your dealing income can cover the rent consistently.
โ ๏ธ Note: The Downtown Apartment costs more but only has 2 lab slots. You are paying for location, not capacity. The Factory hideouts offer better value for production-focused players.
๐ข Premium Properties (5 properties)
High-end hideouts for established dealers. Significant storage, multiple lab slots, and prime locations across the city.
๐ฐ Endgame Properties (3 properties)
The ultimate hideouts for kingpin-level operations. Massive rent costs but unmatched capacity and prestige.
๐ก Hideout Upgrade Tips
Smart strategies for upgrading your properties at the right time.
๐ก Prioritize Lab Slots Over Size: A hideout with more lab slots generates more income than one with extra storage. Each lab slot lets you run another mixer, dryer, or growing station simultaneously. Focus on lab slot count first, storage second.
๐ก Storage vs. Rent Efficiency: The Kennel Warehouse ($1,300/mo) gives you 5 lab slots and very large storage — that is $260 per lab slot. The Downtown Penthouse ($3,000/mo) gives you only 4 lab slots — that is $750 per lab slot. Always calculate your cost per lab slot before upgrading.
โ ๏ธ When to Upgrade vs. Stay Put: Do not upgrade until your daily income consistently covers the new rent with room to spare. A good rule: your daily profit should be at least 3x the daily rent cost. If an upgrade would eat into your drug-buying capital, stay put and keep building your cash reserve.
๐ก Multiple Hideouts: You can rent more than one property at a time. Some players keep a cheap production hideout (like the Kennel Warehouse) and a separate dealing hideout in a high-value territory. This spreads your risk during DEA raids.
๐ Property Tier Rankings
Every hideout ranked by overall value — factoring in rent cost, lab slots, storage capacity, and location.
S TIER Best in Class — Unmatched Value
- The Mansion — $5,000/mo — 8 lab slots, massive storage. The undisputed endgame king. If you can afford it, nothing else comes close.
- Kennel Warehouse — $1,300/mo — 5 lab slots, very large storage. Best value property in the entire game. Incredible lab-slot-to-rent ratio.
A TIER Excellent — Strong Performers
- Industrial Complex — $2,500/mo — 6 lab slots, massive storage. Pure production powerhouse for high-volume operations.
- Two Towers Suite — $2,000/mo — 4 lab slots, very large storage. Premium all-rounder with excellent location.
B TIER Good — Solid Mid-Game Choices
- Factory North Loft — $800/mo — 3 lab slots, large storage. Best mid-game value for production-focused players.
- Factory South Workshop — $900/mo — 3 lab slots, large storage. Slightly pricier sibling of Factory North with more seclusion.
- Party Zone Penthouse — $1,800/mo — 4 lab slots, large storage. Great location near high-spending clients.
C TIER Starter — Early Game Essentials
- Starting Apartment — Free — 1 lab slot. Your only option at the start. Upgrade as soon as possible.
- Slums Shack — $200/mo — 1 lab slot. Cheap fallback if you need a second location early on.
- Old Town Flat — $350/mo — 2 lab slots. First meaningful upgrade, solid stepping stone.
- Construction Shelter — $400/mo — 2 lab slots. Slightly worse storage than the Old Town Flat.
๐ก Pro Tip — Optimal Progression Path: Start in your free apartment, upgrade to the Old Town Flat ($350) as soon as you unlock it for the second lab slot. Jump to the Factory North Loft ($800) once you can afford it — 3 lab slots and large storage carry you through mid-game. Then skip straight to the Kennel Warehouse ($1,300) for its incredible 5 lab slots. From there, save up for The Mansion ($5,000) as your ultimate endgame goal. This path maximizes lab slot gains per dollar spent at every step.
