Labrat is a character appearing as a tritagonist in the Los Santos Drug Wars update for Grand Theft Auto Online.

History[]

Background[]

Labrat, real name unknown and PhD in Psychedelics Research, is a member of the Fooliganz gang led by Dax, and, later in 2022, The Freakshop's resident chemist. He is Dax's "personal physician" and Mutt's mentor.

Events of Grand Theft Auto Online[]

Los Santos Drug Wars[]

First Dose[]

Labrat is first introduced to the GTA Online Protagonist by Dax after the Fooliganz take over Trevor Philips' disused meth lab at Ace Liquor in Sandy Shores. Shortly after showing his knowledge of psychedelics, the group are suddenly attacked by The Lost MC, who steal Dax's Journey II while others remain behind in an attempt to take out the Fooliganz. After retrieving the stolen trailer, Labrat and the Fooliganz are relocated to a warehouse in the Mirror Park Railyard, where the Fooliganz set up The Freakshop.

During the GTA Online Protagonist's Fooliganz initiation test, Labrat and his protegé Mutt provide a bottle of what appears to be Logger Beer, and Dax begins praising the player for all the work they have done for the troupe so far. Upon saying cheers, the player drinks the entire bottle, only then being informed by Labrat that he has "never seen anybody take that much acid that fast", followed by a multitude of drugged up segments.

As a personal favor for Labrat, Dax asks the GTA Online Protagonist to infiltrate the Humane Labs and steal precursor chemicals that Labrat needs for their acid. Once there, the player fights their way through Merryweather Security forces and steals several bottles of chemicals from the loading bay inside.

Last Dose[]

In early 2023, Labrat is kidnapped by a group of mercenaries hired by Isiah Friedlander. After a brief investigation, the GTA Online Protagonist discovers the location of FriedMind HQ in the Eclipse Medical Tower in West Vinewood and rescues Labrat with the help of fellow Fooligan member Luchadora, although Friedlander escapes, after revealing his plans.

As Labrat is one of three chemists with a PhD in the specialised field of psychedelics and the other two had refused to cooperate, Friedlander used Labrat's knowledge and Friedlander's stockpile of 80% of the world's precursor chemicals supplies to create a powerful hallucinogen drug ten times more potent than psilocybin to be used in his psychedelic assisted therapy business.

He planned to be a pioneer, and wanted to build a "temple of peace and sanity" in the jungles of South America. As Labrat's mind was too far gone to be of use, Friedlander made the offer to the player instead.

After bringing Labrat back to the Freakshop, Luchadora and the GTA Online Protagonist go alone on a mission to locate and steal Friedlander's new product before he escapes to South America, which they succeed.
