The Cocaine Lockup is one of the five Motorcycle Club (MC) businesses in GTA Online, purchased from the Maze Bank Foreclosures website. It produces cocaine, which is the most profitable product among MC businesses when fully upgraded. To start production, you must resupply the lockup either by stealing supplies or purchasing them. The business operates passively, converting supplies into product over time, which can then be sold through various delivery missions.

Once purchased, the lockup is empty and requires upgrades to maximize efficiency. The Staff Upgrade increases production speed, the Equipment Upgrade reduces supply consumption, and the Security Upgrade lowers the chance of raids. Without upgrades, the business is slow and less profitable. Prices for the lockup and upgrades vary and change with game updates, so always check in-game for current costs.

Making money with the Cocaine Lockup involves buying supplies (or stealing them) and selling the product when the stock is full. A fully upgraded lockup can produce a full bar of product from one full supply bar, yielding a high sale price. However, the business is vulnerable to raids if you are registered as an MC President and the product value exceeds a threshold. It also requires active management to avoid supply depletion.

Note: Prices and payouts for the Cocaine Lockup, upgrades, and sale missions are subject to change with GTA Online updates. Always verify current values in-game before purchasing.

Tips

  • Always buy the Staff and Equipment upgrades before producing; they pay for themselves quickly.
  • Sell in a public lobby with few players to avoid griefers, but consider the high demand bonus for extra cash.
  • If solo, keep product stock below 1.5 bars to guarantee a single-vehicle sale mission.
  • Register as an MC President only when ready to sell or resupply to minimize raid risk.
  • Use the Master Control Terminal (Arcade) or Terrorbyte to manage supplies remotely.
  • Combine with other MC businesses for passive income, but focus on Cocaine first due to highest profit.
  • Check the GTA Online weekly update for double money events on MC sales.

FAQ

Is the Cocaine Lockup worth buying?
Yes, it is the most profitable MC business when fully upgraded. However, it requires a significant upfront investment and active management. It pairs well with a Nightclub for passive income.
How do I avoid raids on my Cocaine Lockup?
Raids occur when you are registered as an MC President and product value exceeds a threshold (e.g., 20% of max capacity). To avoid raids, stay unregistered when not actively managing the business, or keep product low.
Can I sell Cocaine Lockup product solo?
Yes, but only if the product value is low enough to guarantee a single-vehicle sale. For a fully upgraded lockup, keep product under 1.5 bars to ensure one vehicle. Otherwise, you may get multiple vehicles which are difficult solo.
