Drug Dealer Simulator News

Okay! So the cupboard is standing (if you know you know), now we can talk more about hideouts!

If you played DDS1, you’ll be familiar with the base concept of the hideout and some of the mechanics. But if you haven’t played DDS1, no worries! We’ll get you up to speed quickly enough.

Let’s look at the basics first. There are numerous hideouts on Isla Sobra and they vary in size, price and the way they look. You can buy hideouts that have their own gardens or docks, a balcony, or a parking spot. There are also flats available in tenement houses.

The hideouts vary not only in size and location. Some hideouts have access to running water which allows you to grow Marijuana plants much easier. And in some hideouts, you may install a phone so you can listen to voicemail. Do remember tho that you need to pay bills for water and electricity.


Hideouts have something called a hideout stash – it’s a thingamajig where you can store your goods and access them from every place in that hideout. Another type of storage available in the hideout is substance storage where, as the name suggests, all the substances are stored. If you place more containers around, you can increase the capacity of your substance storage.

When you craft your produce, you generate waste which also takes up space. You can get rid of it if you pay for waste removal.


Hideouts are not only for you and your luxury. They’re also a place where your employees (lab technicians or distributors) will work. Remember to make it a nice place to be in! Even more so because you can adopt pets and keep them there. You want your pets to be happy, right? Right???


There is also one more thing you need to remember: hideouts are not immune to the outside world. It may happen that your place will be discovered and you’ll find yourself facing a raid and potential losses connected with it. You can try to get the money and drugs, and run away. Or you can try installing better locks and bars in your windows – that way you’re gonna get more time to run. Gotta save the goods, right?

And the last thing – of course, you will not be buying a cat in a bag! Before you commit to purchasing a hideout, you can get in and look around, see if it’s a good place for your operations. So choose wisely!

Y’all wanted new big mechanics in DDS2 (and rightfully so), that got us thinking about what more we can add to the game.

So what’s a big new thing in DDS2? Melee combat! Yep, we have it now. And here is Rafal with more info:

Melee combat fits perfectly into the gameplay of DDS2. On the contrary to part 1, it introduces means to defend yourself as well as play out a more violent playstyle to achieving your goals, not turning Drug Dealer Simulator into another shooter game, which we were purposefully avoiding. Fights between players and enemies, as well as different enemy factions, bring more action, life and thrill into the world.

The enemies don't only react to the players but also start fights with each other, policemen can beat up thugs that attacked you, and you can encounter spontaneous fights between rival thugs in some areas which can sometimes escalate very quickly.



What kind of enemies are we gonna encounter in the game? There are thugs, the police and gendarmerie. These enemies will be scattered around the world, some will be patrolling an area, and some even guard places of interest, like loot, prisoners or quest objectives. As such, you will not be able to avoid fighting.

And it’s not like they all gang up on you, and you alone. Thugs do fight between themselves so sometimes you might see brawls taking place in the streets or backyards.



If you find yourself in a situation where you have to attack someone or defend yourself, you’ll have a wide range of melee weapons to choose from. From improvised weapons such as kitchen knives, pipes or wrenches all the way to actual machetes or army knives. In some areas of the world, you might get attacked by enemies holding unusual weapons: chairs, bottles, shovels, road signs and more. Sounds kinda nuts, no?

There are many ways you get into the possession of a weapon. Some you’ll find in shops, some you can loot from the environment or defeated enemies. Enemy weapons do drop damaged and get used up quick, so be careful while using those.



And of course, you can’t have fighting in a game without bosses to defeat. So, in certain places on a map you’ll encounter thug bosses who are a lot harder to defeat, duh, but also drop better loot and weapons when defeated, also duh. These bosses usually spawn with adds around them so do prepare yourself before taking on that challenge.

Fights affect your street cred as well. You might see your cred increasing after fighting thugs but in some cases, fights will impact it negatively. Violence may be a way to easily solve problems but if you are seen fighting by a police/gendarmerie (or if you fight them), you’re gonna suffer consequences.

So! Are you ready for a fight? 👀
