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
