How to Graffiti in Schedule 1

Paint the walls to assert your dominance against the Cartel.

Graffiti in Schedule 1 is more than just street art; it’s a core gameplay mechanic that lets you mark and control territory across the city. By tagging walls, alleys, and key locations with your Graffiti, you’re leaving a personal stamp on the world and staking a claim to the area. These markings signal influence and dominance, directly influencing the game’s focus on power struggles, territory management, and building your empire.

Graffiti tagging is only available on the beta branch, allowing early-access players to test and explore the system. However, the developers have confirmed that this feature will be rolled out to the main version of the game soon, making it a standard part of everyone’s experience. This mechanic enhances immersion and ties directly into the evolving theme of territorial dominance that is a core part of the game.

Here’s everything you need to know about Graffiti’s in Schedule 1.

Graffiti isn’t just cosmetic in Schedule 1; it’s a way for your gang or business to mark territory and show dominance in Hyland Point. By spraying tags on specific walls, billboards, or surfaces, you create a visible sign that the area is under your control. This mechanic adds importance to the idea of territory ownership, turning simple markings into a meaningful part of the game world.

Every tagged spot serves as a signal to the rival Cartel, warning them that they’re stepping into contested ground. While the exact gameplay bonuses can vary based on location and other factors, the core idea is clear: Graffiti makes your presence felt and directly ties into the ongoing struggle for influence and respect in Hyland Point.

By leaning into Graffiti as a gameplay feature, Schedule 1 blends creativity with strategy. Tagging locations builds immersion and ensures that your gang’s rise to power is seen and felt across the entire map. It’s a small action with big consequences, making it a key part of the city’s ecosystem.

How to make Graffiti in Schedule 1

In Schedule 1, Graffiti starts with one simple step: getting your hands on a Spray Paint can. These cans are easy to find and cost just $10 each at the Gas Mart. Without one in your inventory, you won’t be able to interact with the designated graffiti zones scattered around cartel-controlled areas. Think of the spray can as your ticket to leaving a mark on Hyland Point.

Once equipped, keep an eye out for walls highlighted by a large white square marker. These spots are your canvas. Walk up to the marker, press E on your keyboard, and the graffiti menu will pop up. From here, you can unleash your creativity.

You can sketch custom designs and mix things up by choosing from a set of basic colors displayed at the bottom of the menu. You can also layer different shades to make your Graffiti stand out with multi-colored tags.

If you’re unhappy with how your art turns out, there’s a Clear button to wipe the wall and start fresh. Just keep in mind there’s no undo function, so one wrong line means starting from scratch. Whether you’re aiming for a bold, intimidating tag or something more stylish, graffiti in Schedule 1 gives you the freedom to personalize your territory and send a clear message to rival crews.

Effects of Graffiti in Schedule 1

Graffiti isn’t just for style in Schedule 1. It directly affects how much control the cartel holds over a given area. Every time you tag a wall, the cartel’s influence weakens.

This is especially useful if you’re pushing back against the Cartel, since reduced cartel control means your dealers can operate with fewer interruptions. With less harassment on the streets, your crew has more freedom to move product, leading to steadier profits and smoother business growth.

That said, Graffiti comes with risks. Hanging around too long while tagging can draw the attention of local police. If officers catch you in the act and you don’t escape in time, you’ll face arrest, lose any products you are carrying, and pay a $50 fine.

To avoid setbacks, make sure to work quickly, finish your Graffiti efficiently, and always stay alert for law enforcement in the area. A smart balance of speed and caution keeps your territory marked without jeopardizing your operation.
