How to fix Oscar missing from Warehouse in Schedule 1

Returning to an empty room, where Oscar is expected to be in Schedule 1, can bring the criminal operations to a sudden halt. The shady dealer has the habit of vanishing, and the reasons are numerous. If he is not available at his usual table, do not panic. There are some reliable methods for tracking him down and making him come back to the game. However, before we jump into solutions, let’s discuss possible reasons for his absence.



Reasons for Oscar's disappearance and how to bring him back




The standard position of Oscar is at the table located to the left side, upon entering the Warehouse . If he is mysteriously absent, there are 3 possible explanations for it. The first is that you might have triggered the NPC evacuation, causing a nearby violence. It might have caused Oscar to suffer from the pathfinding glitch, or the game just needs some reset. Some players even reported finding him wandering aimlessly near the Wharf district or stuck behind the storage crates.


If the basic game restart does not solve your issue, try to place an order using the Deliveries app through the in-game phone. The transaction-based approach quite often forces him to come back to the designed spot.


For a much better hands-on solution, some players even had success physically relocating Oscar. So, if you spot him loitering outside, just knock him unconscious and drag his body back to the workstation. It is an unorthodox method, but it is effective in desperate times that call for some desperate measures.



Advanced troubleshooting techniques

When the standard solution does not help, you can use creative approaches. At first, try to sleep for the full 24-hour cycle at the safehouse. Many players have reported that Oscar reliably respawns when you return to the warehouse after 6 PM, after the reset.


Another effective yet unusual method is to drive the vehicle directly to the Warehouse. The collision physics, at times, resets the NPC positions when large garage doors get forcibly opened.


While the solutions should restore your access to the exclusive inventory of Oscar, remember, extra violence or getting the attention of police at a nearby location might trigger his disappearance once again. So, to have consistent access to him, maintain a low profile when you visit the Warehouse. The developers might address the pathfinding issues with future updates, but right now, these will help you keep the underground supply chain operational.
