The Street Dealers random event is the newest addition to GTA Online, where players can sell products to dealers. It is an improvement over previous drug-selling delivery missions and can be completed quickly.

Only players who own MC businesses, Nightclub techs, and Acid Lab can participate. The event features three drug dealers randomly spawning in various locations on the map, with their locations and prices changing every 24 hours.

Four products can be exchanged for money:

  • 10 units of Weed
  • 2 units of Meth
  • 1 unit of Cocaine
  • 10 units of Acid

Where can players find the Street Dealers?

GTA Online players can find the drug dealers by going to the purple chat bubble icon, as seen in the above image. The icon denotes the location of the dealers.

The location is randomized every 24 hours in the real world. The best way to find them is to travel around the map. The purple icon indicating the location of the drug dealers will appear on the minimap as soon as the player enters the vicinity.


Details of the offered deals

The prices of these products can be higher or lower than their usual trading prices, except for one Premium product that the dealer will offer to buy at double the price.

The example shown above displays the fluctuation in prices of Acid, with a low price of $1,425 and a high price of $1,555, compared to its regular price of $1,485.

Among the four products in the GTA Online random event, the dealer chooses to buy one product at double the price. In the example shown above, Weed is the premium product marked with a golden star, which can be sold at twice the price.

According to the YouTube channel Gtamen, the four products available for trade have the following chances of being a Premium product:

  • 35% for Acid
  • 30% for Weed
  • 20% for Meth
  • 15% for Cocaine
