In Schedule 1, there are many different products you can make that will help you grow your business, and explosive crystal is one you should make sure you master. As you progress through each level, more customers, more recipes, and more opportunities will be at your fingertips. With so many traits that can be associated with each product, however, it can get a bit tricky.

There are not only many drugs but also many effects in the game. Knowing how to perfect each one is your key to success as you navigate the waters of building your empire. Knowing how to perfect exploding crystals could be your ticket to becoming the ultimate drug lord.

Recipe for Explosive Crystal

You're Only A Few Ingredients Away

Crafting this drug can be very dangerous and intricate. After you've unlocked Pseudo in Schedule 1 and ordered some from Shirley Watts, you will need to go get the equipment so you can make the base crystal. Go to the warehouse after 6 p.m. to purchase this equipment from Oscar. Make sure you have enough money on hand, as you will need at least $4,000 for everything, not including the ingredients. You will need the upgraded mixing station that costs $2,000, the Chemistry Station that costs $1,000, and the Lab Oven, which is listed for $1,000.

You also need to make sure you have all the ingredients. Some of these ingredients, the acid and phosphorus, can also be purchased from Oscar, but the other ingredients will need to be purchased at a Gas-Mart. The ingredients at the gas station shouldn't cost too much, especially compared to the equipment. It's a good idea to buy in bulk so you don't have to stop in the middle of creating your product.

After you have picked up all the ingredients and grabbed the dead drop of pseudo from Shirley, you can start cooking. You will need to make the liquid first by mixing acid, phosphorus, and pseudo in the chemistry station. Be careful of the temperature. The more you can keep it steady, the faster it will go. This will take around eight minutes to cook.

Schedule 1: How To Get The Schizophrenic Effect

When it comes to the Schizophrenic effect in Schedule 1, you only need two extra ingredients to cater to the wants and needs of your customers.

Once you have some liquid, put it in the lab oven. This will take around six minutes. For the first mixture, you will need to add the Sneaky Effect to the crystal.

  • Throw the crystal into the mixer with some paracetamol to create a sneaky effect.
  • Take your crystal that has the sneaky effect and mix it with mouthwash to add balding.
  • Take the new mixture and add gasoline to it to create a toxic, balding, tropic thunder effect.
  • Add a donut to this new strain to get calorie-dense.
  • Mix a donut with it once more and you will have the explosive effect.

Luckily, it appears the recipes for all effects correlate no matter the product. To complete every step, you are going to need the crystal, one paracetamol package, mouthwash, gasoline, and two donuts.

Effects of This Mixture

Be Sure To Save The Game Before Trying

The explosive crystal effect is combined with other effects in Schedule 1.

When you ingest any product with special effects, you will experience all the effects it lists. After you've completed all the mixing of this crystal, it will have various other effects aside from explosive, such as sneaky, toxic, calorie-dense, and tropic thunder. This may vary depending on the ingredients you use. You won't really notice the calorie-dense or sneaky effects. However, the other few effects are very noticeable.

All NPC Schedules & Locations In Schedule 1

Knowing where to find the NPCs in Schedule 1 is crucial when you're trying to move through the ranks and gain more customers for your drug empire.

The tropic thunder will invert your character's color, toxic will make you puke, and explosive will cause you to explode within a minute of using the crystal. All the effects should last around a minute or until you explode. The more you keep building a product, the higher the value goes as well. While you may wonder why anyone would want an effect that could kill them if they didn't have the proper attire on, think of it more as a weapon.

It could come in handy if enemies are around, such as the police. You may be able to use it on future enemies listed in the roap for the game, like cartel who would be able to ambush you. Proceed with caution when testing it, as the explosive effect is deadly. It is recommended that you save the game before testing it as well. Once you explode, there is no turning back, and you will have to restart Schedule 1 from your most recent save file.
