Where To Find All NPCs In Schedule 1

Finding every NPC in Schedule 1 requires methodical exploration across multiple districts and hidden areas. These interactive characters form the backbone of the game’s economy and quest system, making their locations crucial for progression.

The Schedule 1 Interactive Map streamlines this process by marking all NPC positions with precise coordinates. Filter the map to show only NPCs and plan efficient routes through each district without missing critical contacts.

What NPC Are Used For

NPCs control Schedule 1’s entire trading economy, quest progression, and resource management systems. Each interaction unlocks new opportunities or provides essential services for advancing through the game.

  • Purchase rare items and equipment unavailable through standard vendors
  • Access exclusive missions that unlock new districts and story content
  • Trade resources for currency or specialized crafting materials
  • Obtain information about hidden locations and secret areas
  • Upgrade weapons and equipment through specialized services

NPC Types

Schedule 1 organizes NPCs into three distinct categories based on their economic roles and the services they provide to players.

Customers

These NPCs purchase specific items from your inventory at premium rates compared to standard vendors. They often seek rare materials or completed products that require significant effort to obtain. Customers typically appear in residential areas and provide the highest profit margins for targeted trading.

Suppliers

Suppliers offer essential resources, blueprints, and raw materials needed for crafting and progression. They stock items that cannot be found elsewhere in the game world. Most suppliers operate from industrial districts and require relationship building through repeated transactions to unlock their full inventory.

Dealers

Dealers specialize in weapons, equipment, and black market goods that significantly enhance your capabilities. They provide access to high-tier gear and illegal modifications unavailable through legitimate channels. Dealers usually hide in back alleys or underground locations throughout the city.

How to Use the Map Efficiently

Planning your NPC routes saves considerable time and ensures you don’t miss time-sensitive opportunities or limited stock items.

  • Start with Suppliers in industrial zones to gather materials before visiting Customers
  • Group NPCs by district and use fast-travel points to minimize backtracking
  • Check Dealers during nighttime hours when they offer expanded inventories
  • Mark NPCs with daily reset timers to optimize repeated visits for rare items
  • Prioritize story-critical NPCs first to unlock new areas containing additional contacts
  • Keep track of relationship levels to access higher-tier services and exclusive deals

Tips for NPC Hunting

  • Save before major transactions to reload if better deals become available elsewhere
  • Carry diverse inventory types since different NPCs want specific item categories
  • Return to the same NPCs regularly as their stock rotates with fresh items
  • Build reputation with key NPCs early to unlock exclusive services and discounts
  • Use stealth approaches when visiting Dealers to avoid attracting security attention
  • Check abandoned buildings and rooftops where hidden NPCs often conduct business
