DDS2 Hideout Locations Guide and Raid Protection
Hideouts in DDS2 can be raided based on your wanted level and the hideout's visibility. The community guide "Pedro Alvarez Real Estate Agency" documents all locations with prices, water/phone line availability, and visibility ratings. Here is what you need to know.
How Raids Work
The DDS2 Fandom hideout page confirms:
- Raid probability is affected by wanted level (None / Person of Interest / Suspect / Wanted)
- Hideout visibility is a factor -- highly visible locations attract more attention
- Helicopters can appear during raids
- A single hideout with all your assets is a high-risk strategy
| Wanted Level | Raid Probability | Protection Strategy |
|---|---|---|
| None | Low | Standard precautions |
| Person of Interest | Medium | Split assets, 2+ hideouts |
| Suspect | High | Guards, hidden compartments |
| Wanted | Very High | Minimize time at any hideout |
Verified Hideout Purchase Order
Based on cross-referencing the community hideout guide and Reddit discussions:
| Purchase # | Location Type | Estimated Cost | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | Beach shack | Free | Tutorial, early storage |
| 2nd | Rural/jungle | ~$1,500-4,500 | Raw materials, low visibility |
| 3rd | Industrial/Callejon | ~$5,000-8,000 | Processing, medium visibility |
| 4th | Coastal/Slavs Bay | ~$8,000-15,000 | High-value production |
| 5th+ | Downtown/villas | $15,000+ | Endgame, co-op hub |
Community consensus from r/DrugDealerSimOfficial: If you turn off raids (game settings), you can use any location for space. With raids enabled, prioritize low-visibility locations for your main lab.
Protection Checklist
- [ ] Own at least 2 hideouts before your net worth exceeds $5,000
- [ ] Keep raw materials and finished product in separate locations
- [ ] Maintain low wanted level before visiting high-value hideouts
- [ ] Use rural/jungle hideouts for your main lab (lower visibility)
- [ ] When raided, escape using parkour rather than fighting
