The Ulitimate Cayo Perico Heist Guide For Beginners and Experts In 2023 GTA 5 Online

[@subscribefortacos]

Here is a Full in depth Guide for The Cayo Perico heist. If you have any questions make sure to post them I will try to respond to as much as possible! Hope You enjoy!

[@alexcraig5788]

Any chance you could maybe do a video on the different setup missions for each entry vehicle. I.e the Alkonist etc. I’ve been doing this heist for a while now but only ever use the long fin as my entry vehicle, it would be cool to see the other setup missions for each of the vehicles and it would allow new players to choose which would be easiest for them to do. Win win 😂

[@JedForge]

Another point I would add is that I find it ends sooner if I go to those 3 mines initially, but then swim to the whale bones just past them.

[@FireFizz]

could you please create a colour coded map showing where all the outfits / grappling hook / supply truck / secondary loot locations are thank you

[@laughingcoffin2907]

Hello! Do I have to take pictures of every entry and escape points before I could use them? Sorry for the noob question I just bought the kosatka yesterday and don't understand it that much yet

2 tool spawn locations at the airstrip to note : 1 the pontoon plane and squaddie that are at the end of the airstrip have a tool location either bolt cutters or grappling hook. 2 the camo covered "fox hole" just down the airstrip on the right past the hangar it has a air defense light. Again I have found both tools there as well.

[@baneous18]

you can put sticky bombs to the el rubio chopper after coming out of the compound. then if u wait till elrubio starts flying u detonate it and the chopper bugs out and leaves island. I don't think rockstar patched this bug yet. Subscribed to the channel btw. keep up the good work

[@subscribefortacos]

It's not a bug. If the helicopter takes damage he runs away. If you do it with the bombs he leaves right away or you can just shoot him a couple times when hes chasing you and he will do the same.

[@northstar0811]

Simple, comprehensive and well done; thanks for covering everything.

[@subscribefortacos]

Thank you. It was fun to put together! Trying to sought through all the footage is another story lol

[@dragonmac1234]

When I first started playing this heist I arrived on the Kosatka and had to travel to the top of the map to escape, it was a pain in the butt. After watching some of your videos I saw the motorcycle jump from the bottom of the map was far easier. I now come in by Longfin, get secondary loot at the airstrip and enter the compound through the drainage tunnel. I'm still working on my stealth in the compound though (I'm naturally a run and gun player).

[@adammitchell115]

For the compound, run up the stairs and pop that guard at the railing. Run around that building and the guard ahead on the right wall will either be standing at the breeze way on your left, or still standing guard on the right. If he's on the right, just wait for him to walk back to the corner and pop him. If he's in the breeze way, run off to the right. Follow that wall up the stairs, and continue to follow the wall around to the next breeze way. There will be a camera, but if you hug the right wall, it won't see you even at full tilt. There'll be a guard walking. You can either wait for him to pass, or if you are confident enough, you can run to the stairs on the right going up. Take that guard out at the top, and from there you can get the guard outside Rubio's office. I use crackshot and a sniper rifle makes it easy. Next run downstairs and follow the guard to the right. You can either pop the guard just before he makes a left turn, or you can wait and walk up the stairs behind him. Walk to the left and pop the bottom guard. From there you can get up to Rubio's office. By this time you should have the gate key to escape through the basement exit. None of these guards you take out will be spotted. And if you do take out the patrolling guard, your exit to the gate will be quicker. I'm on PS5 and if you want, I can take you through thaylt route. I also have a xbox series S that I can route you through as well.

[@matthewr2906]

@@adammitchell115 ​ that just sounds like it takes too long, the only guards you should have to kill in the compound are the 3 with the read cones and you only have to kill those if you want to get the keys to the gate as they almost always have them.

[@adammitchell115]

@@matthewr2906 honestly, it may seem long, but its not really once you know the pathing. If the 2nd guard is not doing a lookout, you can easily get to the front gate in about 10 seconds. From using the Velum to exit, my best is just over 11 mins with elite challenge done. Its all in execution.

[@matthewr2906]

@@adammitchell115 All you gotta do inside the compound after entering via the drainage tunnel is go up the stairs and go left immediately. Hug the building and go straight until you can't anymore then go left again, go right and climb over a couple little walls and you can get to people with the red cones without killing anyone.

[@SmartGoblin8]

Thank You Mr. Tacos. Superb Video as Always. Watching your videos has given me some confidence to finally taking on the Final Mission. I've completed the setups, probably about a year ago now but it always felt intimidating to me. You make it look doable. Thanks for the Confidence.

[@subscribefortacos]

You got this!

[@curtisweber5257]

I just fail forward dude! Do it who cares if you don't get the elite challenge it's only 100k. You can fail elite but finish the heist like I did and still make 1-1.4 Mil each "failure"

I did cayo so many times…, but its still really fun to watch your video great job👍🏻👍🏻

[@CuznDave]

Bolt cutters can also be found almost at the end of the airstrip on the left side where the rubbish and barriers are also a grappling hook can be found at the end on top the crate to the right of the storage container at times. If you like finding treasure boxes one spawns up during gathering intel sometimes down at the end near the container as well

[@BelloMonke]

I always only new a specific way to do cayo and i just grinded that but now that you made this video i can see all the different things you could do and i might do some other ways.

[@jstaley68]

Excellent and so thorough! As always, I learn so much from your videos. Thank you. I can’t imagine the amount of time you spent creating this for us.

[@subscribefortacos]

My pleasure! Yeah this was the longest hardest video I have made lol.

[@curtisweber5257]

2 other cutting powder spawn locations are 1 right beside the main dock disguise locations, yes both the one by the loot location and another further down the road at the other disguise location. 2 beside the helipad, if it's there you can see it from on top the water tower where you can send Pavel a Pic of the hidden Helipad. It's sitting by some farming equipment between the helipad and the long quanzit type building.

[@EricRyanesq]

Glad you took the time to finish this up right instead of rushing a video yesterday. Very nice guide!

[@ethomc2887]

Keep up the good work my man love the videos also can you make a casino Heist Bugstar guide

[@Ariffin958]

Regardless of level, here are the 3 top weapon loadouts aggressor, crack shot and marksman. Aggressor is best used inside the compound, crack shot best for taking out tower guards, patroling guards and inside the compound, last but not least marksman best used for only outside of the compound because it has decent range on foot but really don't try shooting tower guards with this weapon loadout. My opinion for the weapon loadout in the number one spot is the crack shot best at every single inch of the island. The crack shot weapon loadout comes with ap pistol (best driveby weapon), heavy sniper, molotov and knife. Choose the crack shot weapon loadout if you find yourself triggering the alarms everywhere you go in every inch of the island

[@Ferociou]

great video as always ;) small thing there is 1 more disguise up at the north dock, between the 2 places to get secondary solo loot, when doing the heist it's where a guard is kneeling to "fix" his motorcycle, just by the small stairs. ;)

[@notafaker]

Two things you missed There is also a supply truck spawn right in front of the main gate of the compound. You just need to pan the main gate camera to find it. Also you can put 5 sticky bombs on the El Rubio’s Valkyrie and his helicopter will fly away as soon as you explode them

[@lesegotadi7301]

thanks for the vidoe

[@JedForge]

1 warning I would give on the disguise in the pilot waiting area of the airstrip is that every once in a while, they'll put 2 guards facing each other over there with one having a direct view of the disguise. You won't see those guards there until the actual heist so always have a backup plan in mind if your primary plan involved that particular disguise location.

[@donaldsalkovick396]

I found that if you hop the wall and come in from behind that building hugging the corner they won't see you

[@cantran1080]

U could also be on the roof of the building and the option will come up to change into outfit. I found that coming by velum the guards won’t look in that direction. Coming to airstrip by longfin or patrol boat the guard will look that way. Hence the roof technique( just kill the guard on the balcony because he will patrol closer to the stairs that will look onto the roof)

[@Karlzbergx]

For the bugged patrol boat there is an easy workaround: Before you open the last gate, jump into the patrol boat and turn it by 90°. The bug is caused by the boat is getting a boost backwards into the building after opening the last gate. So all you have to do is to prevent this boost by doing like I mentioned or driving the boat forward a little bit or doing whatever comes to your mind :)

[@bobbywilkinson5930]

Thanks so much for this video as well as all of your other videoes, they are awesome and not only entertaining but informative as well ...

I bought the kasaka so I could get the sparrow but i think imma do the cayo heist today since i finally got a day off work. Thank you for all the energy and dedicated effort you put into your vids, you do an amazing job my friend!!!! Thanks again and keep up the amazing work!!!!✌✌

[@subscribefortacos]

Thanks for the kind words! Yeah try it out and let me know how it goes! Good luck!

[@joaolouro7997]

STill adding up on north dock, you actually can get loot from the south building solo, the one you said you need another person. I found that if you have the longfin and you chose the north dock as entry ppoint to the island the door will always stay up so you can go there and steal the loot solo

[@hippynurd]

I watched the whole video, and its pretty comprehensive, but you leave out one kind of big thing, and its because you dont bother doing it. Part of the setup mission is scoping out the compound. This part tells you what treasures are inside the compound. If you are only doing the heist solo, it doesnt matter all that much because your only secondairies inside are the paintings. If you do the scopeout, you can see what the primary is, and if its one you dont want, you can dump the heist and do the scopeout over again. When we used to do the heist when it was new, we often would invite friends to the heist. The secondaries inside the compound are critical to doing a quick exit when you are doing this heist with friends, and you usually only want gold. If your hest has 3 rooms with gold bars, then you have enough for 2 players, if you have 5 then you have enough for 3 players, but if you have 6, then you have enough for 4 players. So... while this is very comprehensive for solo players, its really only good for people that are never going to play with friends.

[@jstaley68]

Thanks again!

[@subscribefortacos]

JSTALEY! Thank you again!! 😂Hope you liked the video

[@wyliekat32]

I didn't know you needed two people for anything on the airfield. What is that? Can you do a video on what all the support crews do? I only know one - the weapons. Thanks much. Love your videos.

[@brianmumford7977]

Amazing video but I still have one question. Can you scout guard clothes/grappling hooks/bolt cutters/cutting powder or do they only generate when you get to the island for the actual heist

[@Tiburon_Odyssey]

No idea about the bolt cutters or grappling hook since I never have occasion to use them, but guard clothes will show up on the Gather Intel mission.

[@quairnt]

The lockup at N. dock that you open with the lever USUALLY stays open if you tap right on the D-pad. This means you can loot the lockup solo.

I'll give that a try.

Clothing is irrelevant. You have to get the disguise before you enter the compound but once you have it on you will always have it on. The wetsuit will come off.

Just want to make sure everyone is aware you can actually loot the building with the lever at the north dock as a solo player, however I haven't tested the building at the main dock.

[@SK.4L]

I keep gettin caught an I’m not near anybody every time I get to the same point in the heist the alarms just go off🤦‍♂️

[@donaldsalkovick396]

You missed a disguise location in the north dock. In front of the building to the right of the last location you showed. Also the loot location at the north dock that takes two people works with one....it will stay open. And a fifth location for the supply truck would be driving around. Alkonost set up you can't just dash for the plane you need to find the computer to open the hangar doors .....just use your thermal goggles and turn off the power before you go in you can usually take them all out before the lights come on. I have been a subscriber for a while btw. The crackshot weapon load out is also nice because you have a fully automatic pistol you can use from vehicles

[@Ariffin958]

Also want to mention that the crack shot weapon loadout is the best for taking out tower guards because tower guards have the longest range and at the 2nd floor of the tower guard there is a camera beneath the floor which also happens to have the longest camera range. Both the tower guard and the tower camera are the most hardest to dodge your way through into any direction, especially the main docks where rockstar typically loves to throw in the cocaine secondary loot there.

[@brlotus]

Have you tried the glitch where you literally could keep the same loot you scouted on the island let's say you found pink diamond and wanna keep it forever there's a glitch were you turn on airplane mode at an exact moment after you finish the heist and you go offline then when you go online again the money counts and the heist still exists with the same primary and secondary loot, and you could literally keep doing the same heist over and over and over, there's a youtuber who still keeps the panther until this day since April 2021 which is insane (All you have to do for this glitch is you turn off pause focus mode from the graphic settings, then you need to finish the heist with elite challenge, after you finish the heist and there's this cutscene where you give the bodyguard the bag and he gives you the contract, after he turns around and walk 3 steps towards the building again, at the exact moment when he's about to step his fourth step, turn on airplane mode immediately, and the game will move you to offline mode, then turn on your internet go to online, and you will respawn at your Kasatka with the money you got from the heist and u don't need to wait 3 hours to enter another heist again, just do the prep missions again and enter the heist again and that's it)

Yeah the replay glitch. People have been banned for doing it in the past. Do at own risk.
