The Scavenger's Cache — Schedule I Walkthrough

Complete walkthrough for The Scavenger's Cache quest in Schedule I. Learn how to find Uncle Nelson's stash, rent a motel room, buy equipment, and plant your first seeds.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After the intro cutscene and character customization, you'll spawn near the bus station. Open your phone ('Tab') and read the message from 'Unknown' to start the 'Getting Started' quest.
  2. 2
    Go to the payphone and talk to 'U.N.' (Uncle Nelson). He'll instruct you to find his stash near the skatepark, on a ledge by the motel road. A dead drop will be highlighted if it contains items. You'll find $375.
  3. 3
    Speak to the motel manager, Donna, in the house next to the motel to start the 'Rent a motel room' quest.
  4. 4
    After talking to Donna, you can pickpocket her to steal back the $75 needed for the room.
  5. 5
    Go to room 1 and step inside to complete the quest objective.
  6. 6
    Return to the payphone to speak with Uncle Nelson again, starting the 'Gearing Up' questline.
  7. 7
    Go to the hardware store (marked by a yellow star on your map, or by walking forward from your room until the road ends, then turning left).
  8. 8
    At the hardware store, deposit your cash at the ATM (use the 'MAX' button).
  9. 9
    Purchase a grow tent, a soil bag, and a watering can from Dan at the hardware store. It's also recommended to buy 'Plant Trimmers', a 'Packaging Station', and 10 'Baggies' for the next quest. Consider buying a trash grabber and a 'Trash bag' for optional quests and inventory management.
  10. 10
    If you tell Dan you're a drug dealer, he may gift you 'Speed Grow'.
  11. 11
    Return to your motel room, place the grow tent, and fill it with soil by interacting with the pot.
  12. 12
    Go back to the payphone to speak with Uncle Nelson again.
  13. 13
    Open your phone and send a message to Albert Hoover to order seeds. Select 'I need to order a dead drop'.
  14. 14
    Purchase one 'OG Kush' seed. Albert will deliver it to a dead drop within 30 in-game minutes (30 seconds). You'll pay Albert later by placing cash in a dead drop behind the hardware store.
  15. 15
    Pick up the seed from the delivered dead drop.
  16. 16
    Sow the seed in the grow tent by holding the seed and pressing 'E' when prompted.
  17. 17
    Fill your watering can at the sink and water the plant.
Tips
  • Speed-runners can open the motel room door and immediately step inside to complete the objective quickly.
  • Depositing all your cash in the ATM is safer as you won't lose it if caught by police or if you die.
  • When buying items from the store, you can grab entire stacks by holding Shift, or adjust amounts by right-clicking and scrolling.
  • Albert Hoover's dead drops are highlighted when they contain items. You can track deliveries on the map or follow quest directions.
  • It's easier to overpay Albert Hoover on his tab, as he will only take what he is owed and the remainder will stay in the dead drop.
  • OG Kush is recommended for beginners due to its lower cost and ease of mixing compared to other strains.
