The Cayo Perico Heist

Overview

The Cayo Perico Heist is a one to four player job that takes you to El Rubio's private island off the coast of Los Santos, breaking into his compound safe for a primary target worth up to $1,900,000. It was the first heist in GTA Online any single player could plan and run alone. How you get in and out is up to you. Scout the island first, then pick your own route into the compound, deal with El Rubio's guards by force or by stealth, and choose your own escape once you have the target. It suits solo players working through every step themselves, and it scales up to a full four person crew for those who want to split scouting, combat and the getaway. It only needs a Kosatka submarine to host, with no apartment, arcade or facility required, which is why it has become the heist new players are pointed toward first once they can afford the sub. Experienced crews still run it often for a fast, reliable payout.

How to Acquire

Requires the Kosatka submarine as the planning hub. Scope the island once, then repeat runs with faster and faster routes.

Primary targets scale up to the Panther Statue at $1,900,000 base, with secondary loot on top. Solo stealth runs made it the game's money-making standard.
