There is no single permanent best method. Truck missions are the clearest lower-risk route; smuggling and printers add more risk; Police printer raids depend on active players and valid warrants.
September 17 review adds dated boat-mission evidence. Older routes retain their source dates; payouts remain version-sensitive.

What the game confirms officially
- First Sale now describes selling smuggled goods to a buyer inside the city (official badge rechecked September 17).
- Briefcase Business confirms money laundering from a briefcase.
- High-Value Haul records a $20,000 launder from one briefcase.
- Full Bag confirms a maximum carried-goods state, without publishing the inventory number.
Why Police raids can be profitable but inconsistent
Two independent guides describe the same loop: find active apartments, identify the owner, verify the legal reason through Police tools, obtain a warrant, enter, and confiscate printers. The route only works when other players have active setups, so it cannot promise a fixed hourly rate.
Sources disagree on whether one confiscated printer pays around $10,000 or $20,000. We intentionally do not publish a fixed seizure payout.
Boat missions: a newer route to compare
DustPlays' August 15 update walkthrough describes accepting a boat job at the smuggling docks, transporting the shipment, and reaching a black-market destination while facing Coast Guard risk. Treat this as a dated alternative to land routes, not a guaranteed top-paying method.
Reviewed through the walkthrough transcript on September 17, not a new in-game test. Check mission requirements and payout in the current game; we do not publish a fixed hourly income.
Pick a route by stage
- New player: learn truck missions and legal crossings.
- Established Civilian: compare goods, laundering, printers, and property costs.
- Law-enforcement player: use normal warrants and roleplay mechanics, not random apartment entry.
- Robux buyer: read the gamepass guide before spending; paid access does not guarantee profit.
