To become a Kingpin in Bitlife, you have to be a natural at dealing drugs to your customers to kickstart your career in the drug cartel. To do that, make a custom life and select “Dealing” as your natural talent while boosting attributes such as smarts and looks to help you. 

Once you have done that, you can age up your character until you attend primary school, go to the activities option, and select crimes to commit some petty crimes, increasing your infamy level. Pick options like pickpocketing and porch pirates, which are relatively safe and should keep you from ending up in juvenile jail. After you turn 18, use your high infamy and choose a special career in dealing by choosing any of the five drug cartels.

After you become a dealer, you start your career by having some product with you. Now, you have to get your infamy, dealing, and standing stats up to get promoted to the next level. To improve your dealing, go to Turf and find people to sell your stuff. 

There are two things to consider to have a perfect sell every time without many rejections: The drug preference of the customer, which you can understand by opening their profiles, and changing your prices sometimes according to quantity. If someone is looking to buy more product, consider selling it at a lower price than the market to gain their trust and make them a loyal customer. You can also deal your stuff with your friends and family to increase your stats. Make sure to deal with a fixed number of people, as selling it to everyone might invite police disguised as customers—which can give you jail time.

To increase your standing on the turf, choose the rough-up option on rival dealers to remove your competition and keep your consumers happy with an overflowing supply. Once you make enough deliveries and give the complete cut to your Lieutenant, you should be promoted to Runner. 

A Runner visits different countries and does drop-offs to increase the cartel’s revenue. The most important part is to punish people are trying to steal your product while going on your Supply drops and making sure your product is intact. After that, the game will present multiple scenarios where you have to choose the safe options/locations to drop the product and complete the task. If you don’t get caught during your Supply drops, your Kingpin should promote you to Manufacturer. 

As a Manufacturer, you need to make new variants of the drugs by mixing them slightly with other products, increasing your production and selling them. You need to keep a close eye on the market and if the response is good and demand is high, you should reach your goal in no time to reach the next rank, Lieutenant.

At this point, your days of struggle are over and all you need to do is maintain good relationships with your cartel members. You can choose people by selecting the occupation tab and selecting the cartel members option. Now, you can compliment people to raise your approval rating and even party with them. 

Now, there are three patchs to become the Kingpin from here. You can choose the Mutiny option and hope to overthrow the Kingpin and your cartel members help you. If you’re not confident in this approach, you can call in a silent hitman attack or murder him by going to the crimes section under activities and choosing an option to end his tale. The last and the slowest way to become a Kingpin is just to wait until your Kingpin dies of natural causes, and you should be asked to become the next Kingpin in your Drug Cartel. 

Once you become a Kingpin, you gain complete control over the cartel and inherit all the wealth of the previous captain in line, allowing you to live a life of luxury and adventure. Next up, you can use our guides to become a famous socialite or complete the Olympic Striker challenge in BitLife.
