Mastering Schedule 1: How to Evade Police Encounters Effectively

As you dive deeper into your business operations in Schedule 1, you’ll quickly find that the local law enforcement isn’t very pleased with your activities. To expand your empire and reap the benefits of valuable curfew bonuses, it’s crucial to master the art of evading the police.

In Schedule 1, getting arrested can happen if the police catch you. While you won’t end up in jail, the fines can be quite steep, especially in the early stages. Fortunately, there are several key strategies you can employ to avoid incurring penalties.

Top Tips to Evade Arrest in Schedule 1

Follow these essential tips to stay under the radar in Schedule 1:

  • Avoid making any deals while police are nearby.
  • Maintain a safe distance from police officers.
  • Only carry one to two illegal items at a time to decrease the chances of detection during surprise body checks.
  • Refrain from engaging in combat unless absolutely necessary.
  • Exercise extra caution during nighttime curfew hours.

The most effective way to dodge arrest while trading in Schedule 1 is to avoid engaging in deals when police are in close proximity. Officers frequently patrol in pairs, making it easy for them to spot suspicious activities. Keep an eye out for a red question mark icon on your screen, which indicates that a cop is nearby.

If nighttime falls and the police seem stationary, you can sneak past them by holding down the CTRL key on your keyboard to enhance your maneuverability. While there’s still a chance they might notice you, it’s often worth the risk, especially during curfew hours when police presence is heightened.

Carrying multiple illegal items could lead to arrest during body checks. In the beginning, limit yourself to just one illegal item to minimize risk. Once you progress, your dealers can handle various substances while you focus on specific types. To further reduce your chances of encountering body checks, keep your distance from the police while navigating the map.

Consequences of Arrest in Schedule 1

What happens if you’re caught by an officer during curfew hours? Thankfully, you won’t be arrested immediately. If a police officer catches you, a red question mark will appear, filling up quickly if you’re in their line of sight. Once it fills, you’ll officially be arrested. You’ll be transported to the police station, where any illegal items will be confiscated, and you’ll face a fine.

During a police pursuit in Schedule 1, an “Under Arrest” message will appear at the top of your screen, depleting over time if the police can’t locate you. Utilize hidden spots for cover, such as tucked-away alleyways, and crouch to reduce your visibility. The more concealed your location, the better your chances of evading capture. If you’re well-hidden enough, the “Under Arrest” message will disappear, allowing you to continue your operations unhindered.
