Best Way to Rank up Fast in Schedule 1

As you play Schedule 1, you’ll see yourself grow from a small-time pusher and dealer to a kingpin who owns multiple properties and businesses. But before you reach the endgame, there’s going to be plenty of grinding involved. Besides working hard to earn cash and fill up your bank account, you’ll also have to rack up EXP to rank up and unlock new equipment and regions.

Figure out how to earn more EXP and rank up fast in Schedule 1 in this quick guide.

How to rank up fast in Schedule 1

In Schedule 1, there are several ways to earn EXP and these are the most effective.

Selling drugs in Schedule 1

The best way to rank up fast in Schedule 1 is by making drug sales yourself. Each successful transaction you complete rewards 20 EXP, while sales made by your dealers only give 10 EXP. So, while relying on your crew saves time, it cuts your EXP gains in half.

Unlocking new customers

When unlocking new regions, you’ll also encounter new customers. Give them a free sample, ideally one with effects and quality that match their preferences. Once they’re hooked, you’ll earn a whopping 50 EXP right away.

Escaping the Police

Now, onto a more extreme method that yields the highest EXP: escaping the police. You can commit various crimes, like distributing drugs, pickpocketing, or assaulting officers. But if you’re caught, expect to get arrested.

There are three Wanted levels in Schedule 1, and escaping from them will reward you with EXP. The higher the level, the more EXP you’ll earn. Escaping “Under Arrest” grants 20 EXP, “Wanted” gives 40 EXP, and “Wanted: Dead or Alive” provides 60 EXP.

Although much riskier, selling drugs past curfew is more rewarding than during the day. Not only does it increase your earnings per sale, but it also comes with a higher chance of getting caught by the police. As long as you can evade them, especially with the help of skateboards, you can farm EXP at night with ease.
