How to level up fast in Schedule 1

In order to build your criminal empire and make the most money for the least amount of effort in Schedule 1, you’ll need to level yourself up, which is much easier said than done.

Despite Schedule 1 taking you through the game’s tutorial and helping you recruit a dealer, purchase seeds, grow your product, and experiment with mixes, there’s one feature that’s not fully explained: leveling up.

Leveling up is vital in Schedule 1. You’ll need to gain XP to unlock extra buildings, grab the Management Clipboard, purchase weapons, and even grow different Drugs. However, doing so isn’t exactly simple. So, here’s how to level up fast in Schedule 1.

Sell your product at night

The best way to level up fast is to sell your product yourself and at night, specifically during curfew hours.

Not only will this get you some extra money for your risk and effort, but it’ll bring back the highest amount of XP as opposed to using a Dealer, employees, or dealing during the daytime.

Of course, it’s definitely riskier, but as long as you know how to avoid the police, you’ll be raking in the XP at the end of the day.

Make plenty of product

Similar to selling at night, you should always be producing more drugs in Schedule 1. With every drug you make yourself, you’ll get XP, whereas with employees, you’ll get some, but nowhere near as much as the alternative.

The best way to make XP as you play is to spend most of your day making products, mixing the best recipes, and gaining customers. Then at night, sell them to anyone wanting to buy.

Go to sleep to save

While sleeping doesn’t exactly bring in any XP, this is where you’ll gain it, and there’s currently a bug surrounding Schedule 1 where if you save during the day, you won’t gain any XP at night, so always save by going to sleep.

This will also be where you level up, so it’s an ideal marker to see how far off you are or whether you’ve unlocked new features.

Explore the map

Exploring the map won’t flood in XP, but it’s a great way to unlock new customers, features, and major content, which will all come in handy as you level.

Head to new areas of the map, talk to customers, finish your quests, and make the most out of Schedule 1, all of the above will offer levels and help you build the best empire possible.

So, that’s how to level up fast in Schedule 1. While you’re pushing your products, be sure to check out the best console commands if you prefer to cheat your way through the game, or take a look at the best mods, upcoming roadmap, or how to launder money.
