  3. Reach the destination (Ace Liquor)
  4. Enter the yellow corona

This will initiate a cutscene introducing Dax and The Fooligans, commencing the 1st First Dose mission.

In the sixth and final First Dose mission, you will steal an MTL Brickade 6x6 truck, which is a pre-requisite if you want to get Acid Lab started in GTA 5 Online. Once the vehicle is in the Freakshop, you must complete a small mission titled "Setup: Acid Lab Equipment".

As explained earlier, an MTL Brickade 6x6 is a pre-requisite to get the Acid Lab in GTA 5 Online. However, if one doesn't want to complete all six First Dose missions, they can simply buy the truck. Here's how to get it without dealing with Dax or First Dose missions at all:

  1. Open the in-game smartphone or laptop
  2. Go to the Warstock Cache & Carry website
  3. Scroll and look for the MTL Brickade 6x6
  4. Buy the vehicle

It will cost around $1,450,000. Not only will it save time but also eliminate the need to do any setup mission or additional cost to get the Acid Lab started.

To maximize profitability, you must upgrade the Acid Lab equipment. To do this, call Dax and complete all Fooliganz Jobs side missions.

The Acid Lab in GTA 5 Online works very similarly to any other business, so you need to get supplies by completing supply missions and then selling them when you have enough stock.

However, just like any other business, you should resort to buying the supplies since doing that is always more profitable. Furthermore, there is also an option to boost acid production that will come in handy.

You need to talk to Mutt to buy supplies for the Acid Lab business. If you feel like closing down the business, there's always an option to pause Acid Production.
