Detailed walkthrough for 'The Mountains' quest in Schedule I. Learn how to start the game, rent a motel room, buy equipment, plant seeds, and package your first harvest.
Walkthrough
- 1After character customization, you spawn near the bus station. Receive the 'Getting Started' quest to check your phone.
- 2Read the message from 'Unknown' and go to the payphone to talk to 'U.N.' (Uncle Nelson).
- 3Uncle Nelson instructs you to find his stash near the skatepark, on the ledge leading to the motel. Collect $375.
- 4Speak to the motel manager, Donna, in the house next to the motel to get the 'Rent a motel room' quest.
- 5After the dialogue, you can pickpocket Donna to steal back the $75 needed for the room.
- 6Enter room 1 of the motel to complete the quest objective.
- 7Return to the payphone to speak with Uncle Nelson again, starting the 'Gearing Up' questline.
- 8Go to the hardware store (marked by a yellow star on the map, or by walking forward from your room until the road ends, then turning left).
- 9At the hardware store, deposit your cash at the ATM. Then, purchase a grow tent, a soil bag, and a watering can from Dan. It's also recommended to buy 'Plant Trimmers', a 'Packaging Station', and 10 'Baggies'. Optionally, buy a trash grabber and a 'Trash bag'.
- 10If you tell Dan you're a drug dealer, he may gift you 'Speed Grow'.
- 11Return to your motel room, place the grow tent, and fill it with soil.
- 12Go back to the payphone to talk to Uncle Nelson, who introduces you to Albert Hoover.
- 13Open your phone and send a message to Albert Hoover to order seeds. Select 'I need to order a [dead drop]' and purchase one 'OG Kush' seed.
- 14Albert will deliver the seed to a highlighted [dead drop] location around the city. Pick it up. Your debt is put on a tab.
- 15Return to your motel room and sow the OG Kush seed in the grow tent by pressing 'E' when prompted while holding the seed.
- 16Fill your watering can at the sink and water the plant.
- 17Sleep to advance plant growth (around 45% grown if you sleep at 4 AM). Plants grow about 15% per in-game hour.
- 18Once the plant is fully grown, use the 'Plant Trimmers' on the grow tent to harvest the buds.
- 19Place down the 'Packaging Station'.
- 20Interact with the packaging station, drag baggies to 'Packaging', and buds to 'Input'. Press 'Pack', then drag each bud into a baggie, and the baggie into the hopper. The packaged weed will appear in the output.
Tips
- You can change your appearance in the game files, and in future shops like the barbershop, clothing shop, and tattoo shop.
- Speed-runners often open the motel room door and immediately step out to start the next quest.
- Depositing all cash at the ATM is safer as you won't lose it if caught by police or if you die.
- When buying items from the hardware store, you can add up to 10 at a time to your cart, or select a custom amount. Items that don't fit in your inventory are placed on pallets outside.
- Holding Shift while grabbing items from storage allows you to take the entire stack. Right-clicking and scrolling allows for custom amounts.
- Buying a trash bag is recommended to remove the trash can in the motel.
- It's recommended to keep buying OG Kush seeds as they are easier and cheaper to mix into better products.
- Albert Hoover's deliveries are placed in [dead drops] which are highlighted if they contain items.
- You can pay off your tab with Albert by placing cash in the [dead drop] behind the hardware store.
- Watering the plant before sowing the seed is possible.
- Sleeping right after watering plants saves water and time, and advances growth significantly.
- You can unpackage weed at the packaging station by using the output slot. Jars can also be bought at the hardware store to store buds.
- $375 from Uncle Nelson's stash.
- $75 cash boost after pickpocketing Donna.
- 'Speed Grow' (optional, if you tell Dan you're a drug dealer).
- Packaged OG Kush buds.
