Dax throws you a celebration at The Freakshop that turns into a wild acid trip. You ride a BMX through a storm drain, warp through strange tunnels and hunt rabbits before coming back to the street.
Before you start
Nothing you carry matters much here, because the trip takes your gear away and puts you on a bike or on foot.
On Hard difficulty a five minute timer runs during the storm drain stretch, so keep pedaling and do not stop to look around.
Objectives
- Follow Dax.
- Go through the gateway.
- Go down the rabbit hole.
- Squeak squeak squeak.
- Chase the hunter.
- Come Down.
- Wait for your team to come down.
First Dose 4 – Uncontrolled Substance walkthrough
The toast
Meet Dax and Luchadora outside The Freakshop, where Labrat and the rest of the Fooliganz soon turn up. Stay near the group while the cutscene plays out. Dax hands out beers and proposes a toast to the new member, and the drink hits you almost at once. Colors shift, fish drift through the air and Labrat shows up in a rat costume. Nothing needs doing here except watching it play, so use the time to get ready for the ride ahead.
Down the storm drain
A BMX appears under you and the objective is to follow Dax. Hold the pedal button for steady speed and tap it for bursts. Keep to the west side of the river channel, because trucks come down the channel and hit hard. Steer around the Haulers and dump trucks, ignore the boat in the water, and head for the round gateway under the freeway bridge.
Warping through the tunnels
Each gateway sends you into a new stage of the trip. On a bike you ride a floating track, then you enter spinning light tunnels. Just stay on course. Any one of you reaching a gateway moves the whole team on, so do not wait for others. The writing flips backwards when you reach the rabbit hole, which is only the game’s way of telling you to go down the rabbit hole.
Hunt the rabbit
You come out in a field, wearing a witch hat and carrying a gun. Dax tells you to kill the rabbit. Rabbits run across the farmland, so keep moving, aim at the nearest one and fire as it breaks cover. Watch the tractor and fences so you do not get stuck. The field is open, so there is no need for cover, only for steady aim.
Coming down
The trip ends with a flight over a colorful Los Santos and a drop onto the street downtown. Run toward the Up-n-Atom Burger marker, then wait for the rest of your team to land. Once everyone is down, the job ends and Dax sends a text asking you to come back to The Freakshop.
What fails this mission
Besides dying or being arrested, the mission ends if any of these happen:
- the time runs out (Hard difficulty only)
After the mission
The job ends outside the Up-n-Atom Burger in Downtown Vinewood, and you earn the Run Rabbit Run Award. Dax then texts you to meet him outside The Freakshop for the next job, First Dose 5.
