If you’re venturing into the world of Los Santos’ latest drug craze, you might be wondering – how many missions are there in each series, and how do I unlock them? This comprehensive guide will break down everything you need to know about these missions, including their objectives, rewards, and how to trigger them.
Unveiling the First Dose: A Stepping Stone to Acid Profits
The First Dose missions serve as an introductory chapter to the Los Santos Drug Wars storyline. Here, you’ll team up with a familiar face – Trevor’s associate, Ron – to tackle various tasks involving the burgeoning psychedelic operation.
There are a total of six First Dose missions you can play through. Let’s delve into what each mission entails:
Fire It Up: This introductory mission kicks things off with Ron calling you for backup at the Ace Liquor store. You’ll encounter the Fooliganz gang causing trouble and need to eliminate them to restore order.
Buzzkill: In this mission, Ron seeks your help in retrieving a stolen chemical shipment from the Vagos gang. Prepare for a shootout to reclaim the essential ingredients for his psychedelic concoction.
Landing Gear: Here, you’ll be tasked with stealing a specialized aircraft from the Los Santos International Airport. This aircraft plays a crucial role in smuggling supplies for Ron’s operation.
Freeway Freakout: This mission involves retrieving a chemist named Lachlan from the clutches of the police. Expect a high-speed chase and a potential shootout to secure Lachlan’s freedom.
Tangled Up in Blue: In this mission, you’ll be working undercover with the LSPD (Los Santos Police Department) to infiltrate a sting operation targeting the Fooliganz. Be prepared to take down gang members and escape with incriminating evidence.
Acid Lab Setup: The final First Dose mission culminates in setting up Ron’s Acid Lab, the heart of his psychedelic operation. This mission involves stealing a tanker truck filled with essential chemicals and delivering it safely to the lab.
Triggering the First Dose Missions: A Helping Hand from Ron
Unlike some missions in GTA Online, the First Dose series doesn’t have a specific character you need to contact to initiate them. Here’s the key:
You’ll need to be at least level 100 in GTA Online to unlock the First Dose missions.
Once you meet the level requirement, you just need to be in a public lobby and remain idle for a while. This will trigger a call from Ron, who’ll request your assistance at the Ace Liquor store.
Pro Tip: If you don’t receive the call after waiting a while, try switching lobbies or restarting your game.
The Last Dose: Culminating the Acid Lab Business
The Last Dose missions build upon the foundation laid in the First Dose series. Here, you’ll help Ron navigate various challenges threatening the success of his Acid Lab business.
There are a total of five Last Dose missions available:
This Isn’t Intervention: This mission involves dealing with a group of protestors who have gathered outside the Acid Lab, causing a nuisance. You’ll need to disperse them using non-lethal means.
Unusual Suspects: In this mission, strange occurrences plague the Acid Lab, leading Ron to suspect Lachlan is tampering with the product. You’ll need to confront Lachlan and get to the bottom of the situation.
Fried Mind: Here, things take a psychedelic turn as you experience a trippy vision through Lachlan’s perspective. This mission is more objective-based and involves navigating a distorted environment.
Checking In: This mission brings a potential buyer, the Fooliganz leader Grim Pinchers, to the Acid Lab. However, things go south, and you’ll need to eliminate Grim Pinchers and his crew to protect the business.
BDKD (Big Dose Kill Disruption): The final Last Dose mission is an all-out brawl as the IAA (International Affairs Agency) raids the Acid Lab. You’ll need to defend the lab from a relentless assault and secure Ron’s psychedelic empire.
