Sale Areas & Territories - DDS Wiki (Print)

Shady Valley is divided into 20 sale territories, each with unique drug demand, customer density, and respect modifiers. Territories unlock as you level up and meet exposure requirements in prerequisite areas. Higher-tier areas offer access to harder drugs with bigger profits, but client density and risk vary significantly.

Datamined & Verified — All 20 areas extracted directly from SaleAreaDatabase. Drug demand multipliers, unlock levels, and prerequisite chains are exact game values. "Party Zone", "Dead End 1" and "Dead End 2" do not exist — the internal key PARTY_ZONE actually displays as "West deadtown" in-game.
