In this guide, I will explain to you the best option for you as a beginner chemist to maximize your early AMP production, while making fairly cheap, reliable and make large bulk in the quickest way possible!

Step 1: Progress through the story until you get the ''Join The Robbery'' mission. (This will unlock the ability to raid enemy Cartel Warehouses)

Step 2: Acquire at least B250 000. You will need to buy fairly expensive equipment, but trust me its worth it! (You will generally acquire that much maybe even more before get to the point of buying said equipment).

Step 3: Keep progressing through the story missions with Kira until you get to point where she ask you to go to ''Slav Bay'' and meet her at the Nightclub. Once you get to Slav Bay, talk to Kira, help the Ghetto Equipment guy. He will send you to a warehouse to grab stuff and at the same time you will release a hostage named Watto (Hint, he's held up near the new Mechanic shop in Slav Bay). Once he has been released and saved by you, he will open up shop nearby selling High End Lab equipment.

Step 4: Get some bolt cutters, lockpicks, and crowbar. Go to the warehouse near Slav Bay Mechanic and in the filing cabinet, you will find the glorious PHE extraction recipe from Cacao/Chocolate bars. Wait until night and break into it quickly and grab all the PHE and other AMP Production ingredients from the crates before the alarm goes off.

Step 5: Once you get this new recipe, quickly pull out your B250 000 from the nearest Pawn Shop and go straight to Watto and buy the following items.
- Large Barrel x3
- Laboratory Autoclave x2
- Homemade Soaking Vats x2
- Chemistry Table x2


- Large Barrels can hold up to 50 Kilos of products, buying 3 of them will give you 150 Kilos worth of storage, this is huge and they only cost about B8000 each!

- Laboratory Autoclave only cost 1'400 Watts, as opposed to the oven. But, unlike the oven, it only has 30 queue slots but will save up on space, waste and electricity bills! And the crafting takes less time than the oven and produces less waste.

- Homemade Soaking Vats, those have 200 crafting queue slots and they will be useful to mass produce AMP Salts. Make sure they are placed outside because they take up a lot of space!

- Chemistry Tables, pretty self explanatory, they have a 90 crafting queue slots and only consumes 5 Watts. 2 of them working at the same time will help you get all that Phenylethylamine from the cacao powder rather quickly! (The other more professional variant of this equipment only has 15 crafting slots and cost about 100K, and uses more Watts, which is way too terrible for a supposedly ''good'' piece of equipment, just stick with the Chemistry table for now, don't waste your money).

And voila! You should be good to go! I've learned from my past while playing DDS1, that you don't really need that much equipment to make large productions of certain products. The only drug you will need a lot of equipment is Weed, and that's because you need a lot of planters to grow a lot of plants at the same time, but you pretty much can get away with just 2 drying stations.

Good Luck on your future deals, and get that Million dollar baby! :D
