Acid Lab GTA Online money guide
A cheap, fast passive business in a Brickade truck: 160 units of acid worth $335,200 every four hours once upgraded.
- Acid production
- $60K/h
- Rank 15 of 25
The Acid Lab lives in the back of a Brickade 6x6 you get from the First Dose missions. Installing it costs $750,000, and the $250,000 Equipment upgrade unlocks after ten Fooligan Jobs for Dax. Upgraded, it makes 160 units in about four hours, worth $335,200, and the supplies for a full stock cost $96,000.
That makes it one of the best value businesses in the game: cheap to set up, quick to fill and sold in one go. It cannot be raided. Naming your product at the chemistry table adds a little to the sale price, and once a day you can boost production for a short while.
Without the upgrade it takes about six hours to make $237,600 of acid with $192,000 of supplies, so finish the Fooligan Jobs early.
