Watch out for the Benzies family in Schedule 1, as the rival cartel has been introduced to the game for players on the beta branch. In addition, the patch notes reveal more that’s been added to the drug-dealing title. A vehicle called the Hotbox and a pump shotgun can now be found within the game, too, for instance.
Developer TVGS announced the rollout of the Schedule 1 cartel update for beta players on Steam. It’s noted that you won’t interact with the Benzies family until unlocking “a few customers in Westville.” After that, expect to make some deals with the family as well as face some ambushes and dealer robbings. After finishing the storyline with the Benzies crew, Schedule 1 players can purchase Hyland Manor.
The Schedule 1 update also alters how new regions become available to players. The cartel influence level has to be lowered to a certain threshold before moving on to another area, per the patch notes. TVGS apologized to the fanbase that this patch has taken longer than expected, after Schedule 1 players voted for the cartel update over other options in June.
