Scaling past $50,000 requires employees, multiple specialized hideouts, and territory control. The DDS2 community on Reddit organizes by product type: one hideout for cannabis Dds2 indica , one for amphetamine Dds2 , one for meth Dds2 meth . Here is the verified path to a million-dollar operation.

Employee System

Employees are unlocked through:

• Notice boards (random spawn)
• Influencer missions (limited uses per influencer)
• Story progression

The Steam FAQ guide covers "how to get more employees, from early-game strategies to unlocking advanced methods." Once hired, employees can be assigned to:

• Dealers: Handle customer orders in assigned territories
• Cooks: Automatic batch processing
• Distributors: Manage supply chain between hideouts
