As a small-town drug dealer, it’s generally best to keep your head down and stay out of too much trouble. However, there may come times in your next game of Schedule 1 where you’ll need to defend yourself - and given this, knowing how to get a gun in Schedule 1 is a must to protect yourself, especially when you begin dabbling in riskier products. So, just as it’s important to protect your game’s data security with full DDoS protection through a private Schedule 1 server, it’s also critical that you’ve got the right gun to fall back on. Well, don’t worry - we’ve outlined everything you need to know to help with picking out the right weapon for your Schedule 1 game, too!

Why You Need a Gun in Schedule 1

Most of the time, staying low-key’s definitely the way to go. However, especially when snooping around at night, danger has a habit of showing up uninvited in Schedule 1 - and, while you can usually outrun it (or avoid it to begin with), there are moments when a weapon becomes the only option. With that being said, owning a gun isn’t without risks, and this is important to keep in mind before you start using it carelessly. The cops will come knocking fast if they notice you using a gun, so you’ll need to use it wisely.

Where to Get a Gun in Schedule 1

If you’re ready to take the risk of owning a gun, there’s only one way you can get hold of these weapons: from the Weapons Dealer, an NPC named Sten who can be found in the Warehouse. This means that, if you haven’t yet unlocked the warehouse, you won’t be able to get a gun.

How to Unlock the Warehouse

First of all, you’ll need to know how to unlock the warehouse if you haven’t done so already. This is fortunately pretty easy, and the Warehouse unlocks once you’ve reached Hoodlum Rank V and earned at least $10,000 in total. Fortunately, the main storyline is incredibly helpful for guiding you to this point. Keep in mind that the Warehouse is only open between 6 PM and 6 AM, and if you try to go in during the day, the doors will be locked.

How to Buy a Gun in Schedule 1

By now, you’ve hopefully unlocked the Warehouse, and it’s time to start trying to buy a gun! However, keep in mind that just because you’ve unlocked the Warehouse doesn’t mean you can immediately buy the weapon you want. Indeed, the different weapons in the game are locked to different ranks, so while you can buy one of two starting weapons, a gun may not be available immediately. At Hoodlum V, you can unlock two weapons: the baseball bat and the frying pan, costing $50 and $100 respectively. Thereafter, Peddler III unlocks the Machete, and finally, you’ll be able to get a Revolver at Hustler III for $1000. Climbing up to Enforcer I will also unlock the M1911 for $2500.

Don’t forget - in addition to your new gun, you’ll also need to buy the relevant ammo to go with it!

Key Considerations When Buying a Gun

There are a few things you’ll likely want to keep in mind when purchasing a gun in Schedule 1. These include the following key points: All transactions are cash only. This is great if you’ve been struggling to launder your dirty money; however, if your cash is already all digital, you can withdraw cash at the ATM outside. If you’re buying guns, you’ll need ammo! Guns don’t come with ammo included, and these can be purchased at $10 from Sten.
