Early access games are often a hotbed for emergent gameplay, and the drug-dealer sim, Schedule 1, is a prime example. Its known “janky” mechanics have, perhaps unintentionally, empowered players to push beyond intended boundaries. One fascinating exploit, highlighted in player footage by @imrags, transforms mundane city traversal into an unexpected parkour spectacle—likened to a “Keystone Cops Doom Eternal”—allowing players to reach rooftops and deftly escape authorities.
This newfound aerial agility, allowing players to access rooftops with surprising ease, largely stems from a jump-boost technique. By repeatedly pressing the spacebar while positioned against any object with an incline—be it a car, stairs, or a strategically placed rock—players can launch themselves skyward. This exploit dramatically expands navigational possibilities, offering fresh escape routes and traversal methods within Schedule 1.
Further Movement Exploits Uncovered by Players
Beyond the basic jump-boost, dedicated players of Schedule 1 have unearthed other ingenious movement glitches. One such method is “storing jumps.” This is achieved by standing underneath an object that prevents jumping, like a bus station bench or a low doorway. Upon moving back into an open area, all queued jumps trigger simultaneously, propelling the player high enough to land on rooftops or even float momentarily in the skybox.
For more granular altitude control, players can employ prop jumping. This technique involves hopping onto a throwable object (using the E key), such as a trash can. Then, while looking down and repeatedly pressing E, the player jumps. This allows them to pick up the object mid-air, jump off it again, and effectively “bootstrap” their way to considerable heights, pulling the object up behind them with each jump.
Finally, once significant airtime is achieved, skateboard gliding offers a stylish descent. If a player is on a skateboard while airborne, instead of plummeting, they will glide gently downwards. This allows for a surprisingly controlled and safe return to terra firma, as demonstrated in this clip set to a fittingly chill soundtrack.
Schedule 1: Popularity and Community Challenges
Schedule 1 has seen a meteoric rise in popularity, quickly becoming a Steam global top seller. However, this rapid ascent has brought its own set of challenges. The game’s burgeoning fan base has unfortunately shown early signs of developing into a toxic community.
One significant issue involves harassment directed at the publisher of a rival game, Drug Dealer Simulator. This harassment appears to stem from false rumors of a lawsuit against Schedule 1—a claim that has been publicly refuted but continues to fuel negative interactions within the wider gaming community.
