The relationships you form inSchedule 1are important, as you want your reputation to increase among everyone you know. Those with higher reputations can buy items for better prices from suppliers, have reliable dealers who won’t steal products, and above all else, have satisfied customers. To create friendly relationships, you have to pay attention to who relies on your business the most.
With thefirst proper update toSchedule 1comes a variety of new features to explore as of July 13, 2025. While there are new locations to discover, the way you interact with people remains the same, as youcan check the relationships you have with any character using your phone. Simply go to your"Contacts"on your phone to update yourself on the relationship you have with anyone.
How To Increase Reputation
Make More Deals With People You Know
The reputation you build with people you connect with is raised the more you interact with them. Suppliers, customers, ordealers inSchedule 1all have a better opinion of you if you work with them to sell products or buy their wares.Reputation increases slowly as you make more deals with charactersto either get them high-quality products or purchase what they’re offering to make your business grow.
Each type of character in the game from your Contacts has a different view of you, but based on who they are, you can perform certain actions to increase your reputation with them. For each kind of character you encounter, here are some ways you can bolster your reputation:
Suppliers are easy to keep a high reputation with, as you only need to buy from them and don’t steal their wares to bolster your relationship. It is worth mentioning that suppliers are not the same as shop vendors, so their prices might fluctuate depending on your reputation.
The best way to increase Dealer and Customer relationships at the same time is toassign customers to a specific dealer. Even though you do gain a higher reputation from deliveringstrains and mixes inSchedule 1to customers yourself, having a dealer act as the middleman can kill two birds with one stone. Dealers want a 20% cut of sales to a customer, so keep them paid and they’ll tend to like you.
In my experience, relationships with Customers are the hardest to keep friendly. You have todeliver orders to customers that fulfill their requestsby giving them strains of drugs that cause the effects they ask for. While constantly keeping up with customer demand is challenging, you may keep your reputation good with them easily by offering them free samples of new strains they may be interested in.
How To Lower Reputation
Steal From Others And Aggravate Potential Buyers
Raising your reputation has clear benefits, but there are almost no upsides to lowering your relationships with anyone.If you lower your reputation with any character too far, they will become hostile and attack you on sightwhenever you meet them. This can force you to kill potential customers, dealers, or suppliers, limiting some key figures who could have helped your drug empire expand.
In general, I’ve found thatpickpocketing anyone is a surefire way to lower your reputation with them. Stealing a supplier’s goods, robbing a dealer for their money, or simply stealing everything a customer has will likely make them Hostile faster than any other method.
Here are some other ways you may lower your reputation with certain characters based on their type:
The easiest way to avoid lowering any reputation is toautomate interactions inSchedule 1so that dealers and customers are always happy. When youassign a dealer to a customer and keep a dealer supplied with a product, they can sell to others when you aren’t there. This keeps both the dealer and customer satisfied as long as the product one delivers is what the buyer wants.
How To Get Max Reputations With Everyone
Never Charge Too Much And Be Willing To Spend More Money
Every character you have a reputation with has a Max Level of friendlinessthey can reach over time. While this does take time to achieve, there are rare benefits you get from getting to the max reputation with certain characters. For example, any supplier you have max reputation with will offer you their goods for an extremely low price and grant you more XP through their interactions to easilylevel up inSchedule 1.
Some good strategies for maxing out the reputation with different characters are:
Alongside these methods, the only obstacle to reaching max reputation with anyone is time.Multiple interactions and connections need to happen to ensure that the friendship level with characters increasesover days, weeks, or months in-game. Assigning the best customers to specific dealers will make this process faster, but pairing the right people together may take some trial and error.
Once some dealers, customers, or suppliers reach their max reputation, they may introduce you to new faces in other locations. Being well-liked by some characters will lead you to other important figures, so make sure to keep increasing your reputation inSchedule1with everyone you encounter.
