Schedule 1 has a system of progression where you level up through multiple Ranks to unlock various rewards for expanding your drug empire. When you reach various Rank tiers, you can gain many benefits, from new items to growing fresh products to entirely new regions that open up on your map. Every Level Up rewards you with ways to expand your growing illegal enterprise.

Some key ingredients needed for making more valuable drug mixes are made available by your overall level. While some items, like Pseudo in Schedule 1, are gained through other actions, some supplies, structures, and locations on your map can only be unlocked when your Rank increases. This makes leveling up tied to progression in more ways than one, as many features to growing your empire are locked behind level restrictions.

Climb Through Titles To Earn Various Rewards

In total, there are 74 Ranks you can achieve as you level up throughout the game, each with titles tied to the tiers you strive for. Most Ranks are divided into Levels I-V, or 1-5, giving you multiple stages to get through before your title officially changes. Typically, when your title changes, you receive a much larger reward for the new Rank in comparison to just moving from Rank I to Rank II in the same tier.

From my experience, most of the rewards from Rank progression are one of four things, including:

• New Ingredients for different drug types
• Structures for manufacturing (tables, stations, lamps, etc.)
• Important items to help maintain product growth
• Region unlocks to spread supply to new customers

While you won't be unlocking clothes in Schedule 1 through Level Up Ranks, you will gain important items for maintaining your supply or growing new strains of it. For example, when you reach Enforcer I Rank, you unlock the Coca Leaves ingredient, which is a vital item needed to craft the game's most valuable drug. However, this is only possible because you unlocked The Docks region you gained from reaching the Enforcer Rank.

The following table has a summarized list of every possible Rank you can achieve in Schedule 1, including what rewards are unlocked when you progress to certain Tiers:

As of this time of writing, many of the rewards from reaching higher levels are unknown, but each Rank is likely to provide you with something for reaching it. The regions are among the most important rewards from achieving new Ranks, as they allow you to expand your empire to new locations.

How To Level Up Fast

Experiment With Products To Match Orders

It takes time to level up in Schedule 1, as each Rank requires you to grow and sell your product to fulfill specific orders to your clients. The whole process of making your supply takes time, so it can be a grind to create drugs from scratch, distribute them to customers, and then clean your profits.

To level up fast, follow some of these strategies as you play:

1. Always complete complicated orders from high-level customers.
2. Form better relationships with your suppliers.
3. Launder money at every opportunity.
4. Sell your product yourself at night.
5. Make more product than you need.

As you progress through the game, you will be given a quest to buy The Laundromat business. This is your tutorial on learning how to launder money in Schedule 1 by hiding your income behind a legitimate business you invest in.

Selling your product during curfew hours will yield more money, especially if you do it yourself. Selling your product in-person yields more XP, as you have to contend with the police and other dangers to deliver your illegal goods to a customer. While selling drugs through a Dealer also gives you experience, it isn't as much as doing it yourself under the cover of night.

Doing things yourself will also help you foster better relationships with your suppliers, who create chains to other characters. As you complete complicated orders for customers, you gain more XP and raise your bond with suppliers over time. It is far easier to Rank up and earn level unlocks in Schedule 1 when you don't have enemies or are in debt to the people who provide the supplies you need.
