This heist is a blessing especially with solo players like me. I did the whole thing in like 45 minutes (Intel to Finale) with 1.7 Million take unlike doing the Casino Heist that takes me 60 minutes to do scoping and heist prep then ill wait another 3-5 minutes again for someone to join and then someones gonna alert the guards, fail and then leave
Look up cayo perico replay glitch. It'll take you 10 mins to make that 1.7m. (Also try searching up 'whalebones escape' and 'how to get diamond everytime')
Leave compound kill dude with bike and jus head towards electrical rubios heli and hit water from that little spot of land. Only have to swim for like five seconds and triggers end .
the trick is to look for the mines in the water (after u jump into the cliff off the southwest corner), then swim as deep as possible ... if u swim in the areas after the cliff without the mines, u'll drown even if u hav scuba gear or rebreathers ... there's also a weird red glow in the water - that seems to be the way from the few times i've managed to escape ... sometimes i'll need to loot the main docks for coke then i'll drive a boat just to jump into that spot - the game ends immediately; no need to drive the boat into the sunset.
I feel like drainage pipe, main dock exfil is the quickest easiest way...been grinding this like 6 times a day when possible, so glad they finally put a solo heist in the game
I've actually just swum straight out underwater as long as Rubio and a boat are not above the water. They will follow you. If Rubio is above you you only run a 50/50 chance of them shooting you underwater.
This is my Solo Stealth Run, it works everytime without damage or detection Vehicle- Longfin Infiltration- Anywhere, preferably near best loot Exfil- Leave by swimming away from compound Compound Entry- Sewage Tunnel The ONLY preps you need for this is -Long fin Prep -Weapons Prep -Safe Code/Plasma Cutter Prep -Torch Cutter Prep -Fingerprint Cloner Prep The Disruption Preps are unnecessary, demolition charges are also unnecessary I go for the secondary loot first then to the compound then leave by swimming away, takes me 10-15mins with 10:40 being my best run, i always get elite done using this method
Same here. But from a time standpoint, I don’t worry about the best loot. I also do the longfin to the airstrip. So few guards and very easy to stay undetected. I always get spotted at the main docks. Then I book it to the drainage tunnel, get my primary and then take the motorcycle off the cliff. Always get elite and long term the difference between loot is fairly negligible
Conspirator is the best for stealth imo because when you leave the compound you can put c4 on el rubios helicopter so when you see his icon on your mini map you can detonate and he will fly away it also doesn’t make you go loud
@@mikkirotta6620 no. Because all the other preps are in the city area except the submarine so u basically have to fast travel which wastes time. The longfin mission is in the city and is very fast (only if you own the phantom wedge like me). Therefore, the longfin is better.
@@niyazshkl9584 how is 30 seconds of time longer? Also the prep is in the water so all you have to do is fast travel leave the sub enter the other sub do the objective leave and prep is completed. Way better than the longfin
@@bruhimvibing2401 you’re right when u say that the 30 seconds parts is not wrong but personally I have been having glitch where my game just goes into black screen infinite amount of time so I have to god damn restart the game which is annoying
Sub prep is awesome. Just fast travel, park the sub next to theirs (put on auto pilot before leaving the drivers seat) swim over, swim back. Never even break the waters surface
If you're doing this heist solo I recommend landing at the airport in the velum. Buy the weapons stash so that you won't get caught. There are three of the secondary target areas at the airport. One is on the hangar floor, the second is the one accessible by using the forklift in the hangar, the third is near the guy that stands on the deck of a building. There is also two spawn locations for guard disguises one near the outside seating area at the airport, and one on the deck of a building. There are two locations for a grappling hook at the airport as well, one is at the end of the runway on top of a large block, the second is right next to the solar panels. Then steel a jeep and drive to the compound. Once you're there use the grappling hook to climb over the wall on the left side of the compound.
Also steal a jeep and get to the compound, easier said than done, iv literally been trying for over 3 weeks to do this heist and nothing, I always get caught trying to get to the compound
Go in through drainage, get out without being spotted I have a strat which isn’t hard, steal a boat then drive away or get the secondary at the airstrip
There’s a third spawn for the cutting powder that is by a building really close to the water tower nearest the compound. (On the same side of the road as the helipad) I like using the Kosatka due to the wetsuit, it’s nice being able to be underwater infinitely. Before I used the stealth chopper, but you don’t get a wetsuit that way. A tip I’d offer is that if you take the weapon set that has sticky bombs, put 2 or 3 on El Rubio’s chopper before he gets into it. When Pavel stops talking about him coming after you in it, detonate them. He will bugger off and it won’t alert anyone, oddly enough. (I also like to put one on his car too, just for the hell of it, lol)
Still going with Kosatka i think my way 10 minutes finished on hard mode like i do preps with my friends (together 4) and someone else positions the submarine as close as possible so all needed preps done in 15 to 20 minutes and if you do that longfin prep you take like 5 to 7 minutes longer than Kosatka approach cost less time that means more money only take gold than cocain or paintings, always come out with 2.97 million to 3.2 million with that new panther statue
There is a third cutting powder box in front of the southern main dock longhouse (same spot as a guard clothing spawn by the road that heads south/west)
I use the sub get in tunnel get in and out of compound without getting caught solo sneaky with gold go to the main dock with the motorcycle and I'm usually done within 10 minutes with elite challenge done
Do you fill your loot bag? Come in on the boat go to the airport grab some loot then drive to the drain and go in and do your thing stealth like. When you come out shoot one guy go left and swim. Dont need any kind of scuba or rebreathers just swim on top of the water. If the guards were never alerted then they won't come at you
I find the main dock has plenty of secondary loot if you're soloing 90% of the time, and if you get unlucky there is always an extra loot spawn just past the guard tower in a shed. I consistently get under 10 minutes using the sub method, haven't failed elite once because of it. What times do you usually get with the longfin method?
@@drxz9220 You don't have to, but it is a little easier. i would buy the submarine and do the cayo perico heist 2 times and then buy the helicopter. without a helicopter you do the preps and the heist in about 1.5 hours, by helicopter in about 1 hour. So when you buy the submarine and play for 3 hours ( cayo perico 2 times) then you can buy the helikopter and make 1.2/1.7 million every hour solo.
@@drxz9220 solo you get more money. I botched my first couple cayo runs because i didnt know what to do. Once you get the hang of it you can solo the final heist in 10mins with 100% of the cut
@GreenishBt I found that using the "cover" mechanism helps some with that. At least then you can see them BEFORE they start shooting you in the shoulder.
My opinion best way is go through the tunnel then be stealthy and when u get to the main gate after collecting your main target go through shoot the first guy standing by the bike. Then just go forward to the water, although u didn’t pick that escape route it’s fine just swim and swim forward until it says completed. It helps me from getting caught and it’s much quicker just to get out of there instead of going around the map to the destination marker
you can do minimum preps + heist (with elite) in exactly one hour. time tracked it. IF you are lucky and all the preps are in the city (especially the weapon prep)
I use the sub get in tunnel get in and out of compound without getting caught go to the main dock with the motorcycle, loot secondary and I'm usually done within 10 minutes with elite challenge done
Best way to escape is to run around the compound to the right and leave by the sea. You can swim or shoot people out of the boats that are sometimes there.
There is a faster way! If you look on the map on the left there is kinda an open area if you jump off that area on the moto you can get out almost instantly.
@@fbiwatcher5438 found that out from our crew leader. If solo grab the bike, if group one person grabs the jeep and pick everyone up and to that area you speak of
If you are scoping out the island, and you’ve done the VoltLab in the communications tower, then you can jump off the tower and you will respawn in the airfield .
If you have scuba you can swim from island especially if your cover is not blown. And if you filled loot bags in compound you can even still get elite challenge.
I recomende taking a look at the loot spawns at the runway, the main dock and the office via cameras. You spawn at the runway and your probably gonna pass trough the main dock. If you want to make the most a mount of money, take your gonna want to know where the good loot spawns are.
@@AlkalineExpert oh a quick question actually - do you have to physically scope out the drain entrance during the "gather intel" mission each time in order to unlock the plasma/laser cutter (or whatever it's called) setup?
@@AlkalineExpert awesome. Last question - does each loot bag have a set maximum capacity? For example if each bag had a capacity of $500k, once it's full will you always have £500k regardless of what kind of secondary loot you store in there? Or will you have more money if the bag is filled with gold than, say, cash?
Bro whatttttttt. The longfin mission takes 5minutes at most im not even exaggerating. Its probably because you dont really know how to efficiently do it
@@mick_hyde Both TESTED and sub mission still faster. Start then spawn your sub next to there sub, swim straight down and straight back up. NPCs dont even have enough time to spawn outside and no way to get briefed either.
Take longfin go to far loot places untill bag is full then go to drain and go got main item always use suppressor and don't get seen then to escape just swim takes me 50 mins fron set up to finish doing it solo making $1.2-1.9m each time
Tip: Once you're done with the scope out mission, you don't need to go back to the airport. You can simply quit the game, go to story mode, or change sessions and when you come back to GTA online, you'll be ready to start doing the rest of the set up missions.
True and the prep missions are really fast you only have to do 5 prep missions (excluding the scope island for what's in the safe/glass box) and you can finish the heist in 10 minutes if your good with sneaking around and getting headshots and on solo you earn a lot of money (about 1 mill or more each time)
easiest way for me is go use submarine , use drainage as entry and after u get out the compund jump use the motorcycle and drive off the cliff into the water and jus swim away
@@guilhermeramos70 main dock , when u get out of the compund headshot the dude by the motorcycle & just drive thru the grass and drive into the water then just swim away
I think the drainage pipe is the best because you can go ahead and get the primary target and gold ( the best secondary ) as fast as you can. And it makes it the elite challenge more beatable than on boat plane or helicopter. ( you can also if you want can get the w33d cash or coke targets after you exit compound ).
I take the sub/drainage tunnel, find the master key, go down to the bottom gate because it's 1 hack on normal 2 on easy whereas the office has like 3 on normal and 4 on hard. Then leave through the front, drop the 4 guys and get on the motorcycle and drive to the west dock? Shoot 3 guys and take a boat and finally leave. I mainly play alone so I go to the west dock to get my secondaries, if I don't get caught or quick restart, it takes at best 12 minutes while at most it's around 13 minutes.
On the end of the cliff there are useless mines, swim between them on your way out and ya trigger the cutscene way faster. Edit: Tip 2: There are actually 2 Weapons findable on the compound 1. Perico Pitsol - Found in office desk after getting the key from random freemode encounter. (mostly sleeping guards marked as blue dot on the map) 2. Combat Shotgun wich can spawn on different location on the compound. (ya need to look the locations up cuz i am bad in describing ;P )
I go with sub and drain tunnel with 2 man, then I we get full gold bags and the primary, then go out main gate and go left jump off the cliff then swim out into the ocean until it goes into cutscreen
Leave out the compound main gate, run left straight down the peninsula. Jump down the cliff at the furthest point. Go underwater, swim to the cluster of 3 mines. It's a 5 second swim for a quick exit.
you can buy rebreathers from ammunation (in the centre aisle display) equip them in the water (G key on pc, don't know console sorry) and you won't drown underwater
I personally like approach vehicle being the kasatka with the drainage tunnel and the easiest escape is the main dock. I also recommend this to new players that got the kasatka and this has always worked for me
@@AlkalineExpert Hi. 1 Month later: Thanks to your tips, i've done cayo so many times i can't even spend my money because i bought everything! Thank you for the amazing tips!
But if there isn't any boat, just swimming is no problem at all because you might be wasting more time waiting for the boat (just be sure to equip a rebreather pressing left d-pad on consoles). I did just that and barely completed the elite challenge in 14:57 with no rebreather and 13:30 with rebreather
Lol, why did I hope I would learn anything new here? Lmao, but 1 tip you should've included is to get the guided missiles, and once you have it and are doing the weapon prep, make sure to park the sub at elysian island. If you get "go to the merryweather HQ" quest, sit down in one of the missiles chairs and blow the heli up that is on the roof of the HQ. Then for everytime you get it again use the missile you didnt use on the heli the last time to bypass the cd. If you're unlucky you'll have to do it 5+ times, but the time it saves you makes it worth it, in the long run at least
I do all my prep landing a deluxo on my sub...takes like 15 to 20 minutes...depending on how it goes getting a sonar jamming thing. And take the stealthy approach through underwater and leave airstrip for loot... Cant make that 15 minute elite mark but still loaded each time.
There are actually so many things on the cayo island it blows my mind , like the cage in the woods?? The beached whale?? And i didnt even know you could poison the guards wth🤣
Tip for an exit that I use is the back side of the compound either grapple hook or key pad, once you exit shoot a guy out of a boat and just jump off the cliff it's way faster
I use Kosatka approach depending on what I scope, I usually do this heist with just me and my friend and 3 gold is enough to fill 2 bags and you travel through water quicker with scuba suits so if I scope out 3 gold we start at drainage tunnel, get the loot, and swim away or sometimes steal a boat if the guy driving it is conveniently close. If we get less than 3 gold but guard disguises at the airstrip we then sometimes use velum approach but that approach is guaranteed if we get no gold at all and disguises are at airstrip because then we just completely fill our bags with coke, gold is worth more than coke so that's why it's not guaranteed when we have 1 or 2 gold because we want to leave behind more coke than cash.
That part about the fingerprint scanner sounded very confusing. The prints are numbered in order from top to bottom so the top is number 1, next print underneath is to the right of the print above it making it number 2 and so on until the puzzle is complete. You can also count backwards by going from the bottom print to the top using the same method but pressing left on the print instead of right.
Tip, use sub approach, use drainage tunnel to enter, using the conspiriator loadout (c4), decide your kill pattern and leave compound, kill guy by heli, put 3 c4 on heli, kill car guy up ahead, make sure when killing anyone especially to near each other you aim look up shoot, and repeat, collect 2d target, leave. done!
#5 = there is a ladder that is completely to the right when you enter the hanger + that depot can be photographed when you are far away, you technically dont see what is on the table but it can be scoped.
Did the heist 10 times gone in sub drainage pipe get to his office using the military rifle loadout once I got the primary target escape the compound if you look around a bit you find elrubios helicopter put sticky bombs on it and blow it up when he chases you he will go away
All I do is just kosostka with drainage tunnel, go in stealthy and swim away it gets completed in like 10 minutes normally it’s easy and possible solo and with friends
I alt boat & sub to keep it fresh & stick to routes for simplicity & timing -whether solo or w/ others, exiting by sea near Rubios chopper if leaving asap but via plantation, northdock or airstrip if people are looking for a keep-quiet challenge. Fav tip: fast travel & appreciate the option$.
@@bryanguzman4712 lol why are you randomly insulting me? How is swimming faster than driving a bike to a boat to escape? Swimming must take like 20 minutes to escape unless the distance is shorter
I use the Kosatka/draining tunnel, as I don't care about the loot that's outside of the compound because I only want gold which isn't found outside of the compound, so I only scope out what I find on the CCTV. All the loot inside the compound is more than enough for three players to fill their bags. So if there's at least 3 stacks of gold inside the compound, that will fill the bags for two players. Go in stealth, but suppressors, kill enough guards to get the pass keys and gate key. Exit at the main gate, and run west. Dive off the cliff on the west side of the island and keep swimming west until you're done. Takes 13mins.
you get it after u scope out the drainage tunnel. just swim behind the compound and when Pavel begins talking about it u scoped it out. no need for taking pictures.when u done that u get the blow torch mission in the "EQUIPEMENT" tab on the prep computer thing.
I have done this heist so many times and I failed Every single try i have done it solo and with duos and even with a whole squad and still cant succeed I need very useful tips for how to complete this heist
Approach: Boat I take the secondary targets outside the compound first then go in to steal the primary Approach way: My approach is Stealth & Sneaky but sometime like probably 4 times i've done it big con with the guard clothing and with the supply truck
Good Vid. As for your last tip, we drive the bikes or the keep right off the cliff into the water then just swim our asses off and we complete the heist, every time. Shooting the boats can be time consuming especially if there are choppers overhead trying to mow you down. Hope that tip helps everyone.
i always take the sub, get in by the tunel, rush to the mid, kill the guard, the camera, go to the Office, then take the main target and get out with a motorcylcle to the main dock to fill the bags, its just simple
I was solo guy I got two characters so I'll switch characters and load up the heist and both characters do all the preps and everything I've made it every time so far
Everyone you can change clothes in heist. If you dont do scuba entrance you can have it in your outfits and switch to the scuba suit and swim out fast. Use the motorcycle to drive off the cliff with the right speed you swim for like 30 seconds and your out
My strategy is quick and simple. Kosatka for drainage, extract secondaries thru door glitch, extract primary, exit the compound, escape the compound by stealing a passing boat behind the compound
another tip: when your dealing with paranoid drug lord. expect CCTV everywhere
Good one!
an actual tip is if ur doing it sneaky, then dont do any of the disruption missions. unless your really bad at being sneaky i guess

The ONLY preps you need for this is
-Long fin Prep
-Weapons Prep
-Safe Code/Plasma Cutter Prep
-Torch Cutter Prep
-Fingerprint Cloner Prep
The Disruption Preps are unnecessary, demolition charges are also unnecessary

you can do minimum preps + heist (with elite) in exactly one hour. time tracked it. IF you are lucky and all the preps are in the city (especially the weapon prep)
For tip number 1: use a rebreather to get oxygen while entering through the drainage tunnel.
Bro the give you a scuba gear this man don't know shit
Just do the sub way you get scuba gear when you do the heist
@@diedforsomemilk7774 did you watch the video? He clearly said not to get it.
I use the sub get in tunnel get in and out of compound without getting caught go to the main dock with the motorcycle, loot secondary and I'm usually done within 10 minutes with elite challenge done
So alot of this shit is useless or I already knew
@@natecarlyle5453 and pretty much time consuming too xD
Man said “with the sub suit” you might run out of breath
🤣
Lol
He overly stupid and never played the game
I think he was talking about entering the drainage pipe after taking the boat approach
@@capon5900 ur dumb asf
Best way to escape is to run around the compound to the right and leave by the sea. You can swim or shoot people out of the boats that are sometimes there.
There is a faster way! If you look on the map on the left there is kinda an open area if you jump off that area on the moto you can get out almost instantly.
@@fbiwatcher5438 found that out from our crew leader. If solo grab the bike, if group one person grabs the jeep and pick everyone up and to that area you speak of
If you are scoping out the island, and you’ve done the VoltLab in the communications tower, then you can jump off the tower and you will respawn in the airfield .
If you have scuba you can swim from island especially if your cover is not blown. And if you filled loot bags in compound you can even still get elite challenge.
I recomende taking a look at the loot spawns at the runway, the main dock and the office via cameras. You spawn at the runway and your probably gonna pass trough the main dock. If you want to make the most a mount of money, take your gonna want to know where the good loot spawns are.
9:37 first helpful tip I could use thanks didn’t know grass quality would add fake trees
With the last 1 there is these mines it’s in like a triangle form go in between them and it should just finish the heist
If you push right on the d pad you have a Rebreather with the longfine boat guys
Comprehensive, coherent and well explained. Sick video mate🤙
Thank you
@@AlkalineExpert and a quick reply on a 6 month old video? The man's on fire
@@AlkalineExpert oh a quick question actually - do you have to physically scope out the drain entrance during the "gather intel" mission each time in order to unlock the plasma/laser cutter (or whatever it's called) setup?
Nope, all access points are available once you scope them. However, the loot and preps will need to be redone
@@AlkalineExpert awesome. Last question - does each loot bag have a set maximum capacity? For example if each bag had a capacity of $500k, once it's full will you always have £500k regardless of what kind of secondary loot you store in there? Or will you have more money if the bag is filled with gold than, say, cash?
The sub mission takes half the time to complete than the longfin mission, that's why it's better.
Bro whatttttttt. The longfin mission takes 5minutes at most im not even exaggerating. Its probably because you dont really know how to efficiently do it
Longfin is really easy, just take the railway track back, stop on the bridge to lose the cops.
@@mick_hyde Both TESTED and sub mission still faster. Start then spawn your sub next to there sub, swim straight down and straight back up. NPCs dont even have enough time to spawn outside and no way to get briefed either.
Griefed*
Dude the longfin is a good mission! I just love that truck with a rammer at the front 🤣🤣 seeing those cars just being thrown about...haha
Take longfin go to far loot places untill bag is full then go to drain and go got main item always use suppressor and don't get seen then to escape just swim takes me 50 mins fron set up to finish doing it solo making $1.2-1.9m each time
Great video man! This really helped me out. I did not know longfin was the best way to do this. Thank you again!
I always use the Velum as the approach, because it's easier for me to get secondary targets from the airstrip
Tip: Once you're done with the scope out mission, you don't need to go back to the airport. You can simply quit the game, go to story mode, or change sessions and when you come back to GTA online, you'll be ready to start doing the rest of the set up missions.
Or just get caught then it will teleport u back to the airstrip and leave
Just get caught and tp to the plane
I do the tower last and then just jump off to suicide. It skips the "getting caught" cut scene and saves a few seconds.
Sub is so much easier to do. I get the bike as soon as you leave and I just swim away. Honestly I just did the four main and go silent so much easier.
True and the prep missions are really fast you only have to do 5 prep missions (excluding the scope island for what's in the safe/glass box) and you can finish the heist in 10 minutes if your good with sneaking around and getting headshots and on solo you earn a lot of money (about 1 mill or more each time)
We choose the kosatka cause we dont wanna go anywhere on the island the only place we wanna go is the drainage pipe so we can get into the compound
Kosatka is also best because you can do its prep mission in 3 minutes.
easiest way for me is go use submarine , use drainage as entry and after u get out the compund jump use the motorcycle and drive off the cliff into the water and jus swim away
and what do you select as your escape point to do that?
@@guilhermeramos70 main dock , when u get out of the compund headshot the dude by the motorcycle & just drive thru the grass and drive into the water then just swim away
@@guilhermeramos70 when u swim away go all the way to the bottom of the ocean so u wont get shot by boats and helicopters
You can just do it by driving the first bike you see after you leave the compound into the water and just swim away from the island
Danny C I do that but shoot a boat driver and take it they drive past within a minute
@@Connor-ml1zd yes bro your like the only other person I've seen say that... hell yeh....swimming is for chumps 👍 👍 👍
I think the drainage pipe is the best because you can go ahead and get the primary target and gold ( the best secondary ) as fast as you can. And it makes it the elite challenge more beatable than on boat plane or helicopter. ( you can also if you want can get the w33d cash or coke targets after you exit compound ).
Just finished cayo perico solo for the first time! We should do it on the stream later?
Yea lets do it
I just finished the Cayo Perico Heist for the 7th time
I take the sub/drainage tunnel, find the master key, go down to the bottom gate because it's 1 hack on normal 2 on easy whereas the office has like 3 on normal and 4 on hard. Then leave through the front, drop the 4 guys and get on the motorcycle and drive to the west dock? Shoot 3 guys and take a boat and finally leave. I mainly play alone so I go to the west dock to get my secondaries, if I don't get caught or quick restart, it takes at best 12 minutes while at most it's around 13 minutes.
My favorite entrance is with the alkanost
On the end of the cliff there are useless mines,
swim between them on your way out and ya trigger the cutscene way faster.
Edit: Tip 2: There are actually 2 Weapons findable on the compound
1. Perico Pitsol - Found in office desk after getting the key from random freemode encounter.
(mostly sleeping guards marked as blue dot on the map)
2. Combat Shotgun wich can spawn on different location on the compound.
(ya need to look the locations up cuz i am bad in describing ;P )
I go with sub and drain tunnel with 2 man, then I we get full gold bags and the primary, then go out main gate and go left jump off the cliff then swim out into the ocean until it goes into cutscreen
Leave out the compound main gate, run left straight down the peninsula. Jump down the cliff at the furthest point. Go underwater, swim to the cluster of 3 mines. It's a 5 second swim for a quick exit.
Big help on this heist. This video has more than just cayo, information
Thanks!
you can buy rebreathers from ammunation (in the centre aisle display) equip them in the water (G key on pc, don't know console sorry) and you won't drown underwater
I personally like approach vehicle being the kasatka with the drainage tunnel and the easiest escape is the main dock. I also recommend this to new players that got the kasatka and this has always worked for me
you can use the ladder too at the side (tip 5 )
1:14 "some guards are white" i'll keep that in mind incase a race war breaks out XD
Very important... 😂
@@AlkalineExpert Hi. 1 Month later: Thanks to your tips, i've done cayo so many times i can't even spend my money because i bought everything! Thank you for the amazing tips!
Great to hear
I use the velum because I like to find the uniforms and run past almost all the guards without stress
Instead of main dock, go left to the end of the island at the entrance and wait for a boat
Then just book it
But if there isn't any boat, just swimming is no problem at all because you might be wasting more time waiting for the boat (just be sure to equip a rebreather pressing left d-pad on consoles). I did just that and barely completed the elite challenge in 14:57 with no rebreather and 13:30 with rebreather
Lol, why did I hope I would learn anything new here? Lmao, but 1 tip you should've included is to get the guided missiles, and once you have it and are doing the weapon prep, make sure to park the sub at elysian island. If you get "go to the merryweather HQ" quest, sit down in one of the missiles chairs and blow the heli up that is on the roof of the HQ. Then for everytime you get it again use the missile you didnt use on the heli the last time to bypass the cd. If you're unlucky you'll have to do it 5+ times, but the time it saves you makes it worth it, in the long run at least
I do all my prep landing a deluxo on my sub...takes like 15 to 20 minutes...depending on how it goes getting a sonar jamming thing. And take the stealthy approach through underwater and leave airstrip for loot... Cant make that 15 minute elite mark but still loaded each time.
There are actually so many things on the cayo island it blows my mind , like the cage in the woods?? The beached whale?? And i didnt even know you could poison the guards wth🤣
A good tip...If you are using the scuba diver suit...Dont go to deep, the suit will fail and you will drown.
Tip for an exit that I use is the back side of the compound either grapple hook or key pad, once you exit shoot a guy out of a boat and just jump off the cliff it's way faster
What do you need for the keypad?
@@playdoug12 just have to kill one of the guards out front of the compound, one of them will drop it, it's rand though
Thanks, this was very helpful my man, I love been trying to find videos on tips and good setups, another really good one man 👍
Entering with kosatka into drainage works for me and the heist takes about 20 minutes including getting a full bag
I use Kosatka approach depending on what I scope, I usually do this heist with just me and my friend and 3 gold is enough to fill 2 bags and you travel through water quicker with scuba suits so if I scope out 3 gold we start at drainage tunnel, get the loot, and swim away or sometimes steal a boat if the guy driving it is conveniently close. If we get less than 3 gold but guard disguises at the airstrip we then sometimes use velum approach but that approach is guaranteed if we get no gold at all and disguises are at airstrip because then we just completely fill our bags with coke, gold is worth more than coke so that's why it's not guaranteed when we have 1 or 2 gold because we want to leave behind more coke than cash.
I knew you were norwegian, i could hear it on your accent xD
Or maybe you saw the comment where he says he is
@@D.O.P.E.101 no. Norwegian recognize norwegian
@@LeumazDnazor same
That part about the fingerprint scanner sounded very confusing. The prints are numbered in order from top to bottom so the top is number 1, next print underneath is to the right of the print above it making it number 2 and so on until the puzzle is complete. You can also count backwards by going from the bottom print to the top using the same method but pressing left on the print instead of right.
Tip, use sub approach, use drainage tunnel to enter, using the conspiriator loadout (c4), decide your kill pattern and leave compound, kill guy by heli, put 3 c4 on heli, kill car guy up ahead, make sure when killing anyone especially to near each other you aim look up shoot, and repeat, collect 2d target, leave. done!
I just do the drainage tunnel way and swim away to escape then I do the replay glitch and do the mission like 10 times every two hours
#5 = there is a ladder that is completely to the right when you enter the hanger + that depot can be photographed when you are far away, you technically dont see what is on the table but it can be scoped.
U can not access the loot by ladder. One need to use the forklift to access it
Did the heist 10 times gone in sub drainage pipe get to his office using the military rifle loadout once I got the primary target escape the compound if you look around a bit you find elrubios helicopter put sticky bombs on it and blow it up when he chases you he will go away
I scope all secondary locations so I can choose what I want to steal. Compound can suck sometimes.
All I do is just kosostka with drainage tunnel, go in stealthy and swim away it gets completed in like 10 minutes normally it’s easy and possible solo and with friends
12:40 I alert all the guards and run away from docks LOL
Thnx this really helped me out bro 💚
I alt boat & sub to keep it fresh & stick to routes for simplicity & timing -whether solo or w/ others, exiting by sea near Rubios chopper if leaving asap but via plantation, northdock or airstrip if people are looking for a keep-quiet challenge.
Fav tip: fast travel & appreciate the option$.
The #5 tip there is a latter at the right of the forklift it’s hidden
But you can't access the loot of you climb the ladder
The drainage entry is the trozan horse of this heist.
Another tip: you can escape by the ocean just swim away and it will work
Sounds slow
Ur slow
@@bryanguzman4712 lol why are you randomly insulting me?
How is swimming faster than driving a bike to a boat to escape? Swimming must take like 20 minutes to escape unless the distance is shorter
Earl Lee it’s literally fast af bro 😂 try it trust me even look up a RUclips video it works I’m just tryna save you the struggle
Great video,hopefully new players don't mess up so much when i invite them hahaha
I use the Kosatka/draining tunnel, as I don't care about the loot that's outside of the compound because I only want gold which isn't found outside of the compound, so I only scope out what I find on the CCTV. All the loot inside the compound is more than enough for three players to fill their bags. So if there's at least 3 stacks of gold inside the compound, that will fill the bags for two players. Go in stealth, but suppressors, kill enough guards to get the pass keys and gate key. Exit at the main gate, and run west. Dive off the cliff on the west side of the island and keep swimming west until you're done. Takes 13mins.
I land at the north dock, loot the main dock, go in through the tunnels, then escape on the airfield
Where can I get the blow torch mission??
Through the drainage pipe
You gotta scope the drainage pipe
you get it after u scope out the drainage tunnel. just swim behind the compound and when Pavel begins talking about it u scoped it out. no need for taking pictures.when u done that u get the blow torch mission in the "EQUIPEMENT" tab on the prep computer thing.
I have done this heist so many times and I failed Every single try i have done it solo and with duos and even with a whole squad and still cant succeed I need very useful tips for how to complete this heist
Approach: Boat
I take the secondary targets outside the compound first then go in to steal the primary
Approach way: My approach is Stealth & Sneaky but sometime like probably 4 times i've done it big con with the guard clothing and with the supply truck
Good Vid. As for your last tip, we drive the bikes or the keep right off the cliff into the water then just swim our asses off and we complete the heist, every time. Shooting the boats can be time consuming especially if there are choppers overhead trying to mow you down. Hope that tip helps everyone.
i always take the sub, get in by the tunel, rush to the mid, kill the guard, the camera, go to the Office, then take the main target and get out with a motorcylcle to the main dock to fill the bags, its just simple
I was solo guy I got two characters so I'll switch characters and load up the heist and both characters do all the preps and everything I've made it every time so far
Thanks for the tips bro👌🏼👌🏼
My favorite approach is a long fin then I go to airport get the stuff there then I go to the compound and get my primary target then leave with a boat
Taking a boat after you exit. This was the best tip for sure. Resetting makes you loose so much money
Everyone you can change clothes in heist. If you dont do scuba entrance you can have it in your outfits and switch to the scuba suit and swim out fast. Use the motorcycle to drive off the cliff with the right speed you swim for like 30 seconds and your out
forget all other ones the last one its fantastic
is the forklift worth it you can fill your bags with art or gold annd swim to the triangle of the mines in the water
My strategy is quick and simple. Kosatka for drainage, extract secondaries thru door glitch, extract primary, exit the compound, escape the compound by stealing a passing boat behind the compound
Any tips on what preps not to do and what preps to do
Skip the optional ones if you plan to stealth it, skip the top equipment prep as well. Do the bottom three equipment preps
The thing is kosakta aprroach has only one setup wherelse longfin takes time
