To get started with the Acid Lab business, GTA Online players first need to complete all six First Dose missions and pay $750,000 to open it in the back of the new Brickade 6x6 truck. However, as of 2024, they can skip doing First Dose missions by directly purchasing the Brickade 6x6 from the Warstock Cache & Carry website for $1,450,000.

GTA Online Acid Lab's Equipment Upgrades can be equipped by paying $250,000 after completing 10 Fooligan Jobs.
