The Acid Lab is one of the more recent additions to GTA Online. It was added during the Los Santos Drug Wars Update as a business for players to invest in. It is basically a drug business set up inside a Brickade 6×6 truck. It provides players with even more opportunities to build their criminal empire. So, with that in mind, let’s look at how you can get and start your Acid Lab in Grand Theft Auto Online.
How to Get the Acid Lab in GTA Online
There are two ways in which you can get the Acid Lab in GTA Online: playing the First Dose, or purchasing a 6×6 Brickade truck.
Playing Through the First Dose Missions
The first way is to play through the Los Santos Drug Wars storyline and complete the first set of missions collectively known as the First Dose. The last First Dose mission, “Off The Rails,” tasks you with stealing a 6×6 Brickade truck from Merryweather Security and delivering it to the Freakshop. Then you’ll have to do a free-roam setup mission to steal the necessary equipment to turn the truck into an Acid Lab. Now, with everything ready, you’ll have to talk to Mutt in the Freakshop and pay $750,000 to set up the Acid Lab business and start off. If you have a GTA+ membership, you don’t need to pay to set up the business. You’ll also receive the Malibatsu Manchez Scout C that can be used for product deliveries. It can also be used in free roam.
Purchasing the 6×6 Brickade
The second way is to purchase the 6×6 Brickade directly from the Warstock Cache & Carry website. The truck will cost you $1,450,000. After buying it, Mutt will call you and introduce himself and the business. The good thing here is that you won’t need to do the initial setup mission, or the First Dose missions to make the Acid Lab operational. You can then spawn the Acid Lab from the Interaction Menu and start off your business.
You can do a resupply mission for the Acid Lab by talking to Mutt when your supplies run out or directly buy them. It will cost you $60,000 to resupply the Acid Lab fully. You can also upgrade the equipment of the acid Lab that will cost you $250,000.
So, that is everything you need to know about acquiring and starting the Acid Lab in GTA Online. Our guide for registering as a CEO in the game is also available so be sure to check that out as well.
