Discounty Unhealthy Competition Quest Guide

Spoiler warning: this guide names events from Days 25–27. The quest unfolds across three days, so completing the lemonade interaction does not finish it immediately.

Make sure you have completed the preceding 8,000-shill objective. On Day 25, follow the conversation chain to Chester in the park. On Day 26, interact with his lemonade and add toothpaste. On Day 27, Chester appears at the store; speak with him to recruit him and complete Unhealthy Competition.

The source walkthrough places the setup after the 8,000-shill requirement. Speak with the story contact named in your sequence—Tellar or Derek—then go to Chester in the park. This conversation establishes the competing lemonade stand and advances the task to the action on the following day.

If Chester does not present the expected quest step, first check the prerequisite rather than jumping ahead to the lemonade. This guide does not have evidence for forcing the later interaction before the Day 25 setup or for bypassing the money objective.

When Chester opens the lemonade stand, the required item is toothpaste. Use it on the lemonade to “freshen” the drink. The cited walkthrough says this causes the stand to close.

The important troubleshooting detail is timing: the stand closing is progress, not the final completion signal. Do not treat the active quest marker immediately after the sabotage as proof that the interaction failed. The documented completion conversation belongs to Day 27.

Advance to Day 27 and speak with Chester at the store. The source walkthrough identifies this as the point where he joins and the task completes. If you already used the toothpaste and the stand closed, this next-day conversation is the first thing to check.

You do not need to repeat the lemonade action in the documented sequence. The three-day structure is why a player can do the apparently correct thing on Day 26 and still see Unhealthy Competition waiting.

1. Confirm the earlier 8,000-shill objective is complete.
2. Confirm you spoke to the Day 25 story contact and then Chester in the park.
3. On Day 26, make sure you used toothpaste on the lemonade rather than only inspecting the stand.
4. After the stand closes, advance to Day 27 and look for Chester at the store.
5. Use the next-day conversation as the completion check.

The checked source supports this sequence only. It does not document a console command, a same-day completion route, a replacement item or a guaranteed repair for a broken save. If your quest log and calendar match every step but Chester still does not appear, record the game version and exact last completed conversation when asking for help.

The practical result of the sequence is recruiting Chester. The source walkthrough connects the Day 27 conversation with Chester joining and the task closing. This page does not expand that into unsupported claims about every later dialogue, store statistic or ending branch.

The safest way to use the guide is as a progress checklist: prerequisite cleared, park conversation completed, toothpaste used, one day advanced, store conversation completed. That keeps the answer tied to the documented quest stages and makes it clear which delay is intentional.
