or instead of resetting you can just grab a cargobob, move a dinghy onto the roof of that area and blow up the dinghy and repeat until there are 3 blown up dinghys on the roof of the merryweather dock
The Merryweather setup can be addressed with the sub's guided missile system. Just sit down, fire one off and guide it right to the Merryweather building roof where the helicopter is waiting for you and blow it up. Then do it again. Most I've ever had to repeat is 3 times.
Another option is after you blow up the helicopter, finish the other prep items (except the approach vehicle), then when you select the weapon prep 9/10 times you will get an office building.
About #7: Avoiding the Merryweather HQ setup mission. There's a better and faster way to avoid it than changing lobbies. If you get the Merryweather HQ setup mission, you can go to your Kosatka's missile station and just launch a missile towards Merryweather HQ and blow up the helicopter as it sits on top of the building at the docks. This will immediately fail the mission. Then you can just go back over to the Heist table and launch that weapons mission again until you get the CEO office one. Even with the missile station cool down timer, you can just still keep blowing up the Merryweather HQ helicopter over and over again if you keep getting that mission since there are 2 missile stations on your Kosatka.
In saying this if you dont have the guided missiles active, you can park the sub right next to the merryweather depot and just use a missile or even the sparrow to blow up the heli. Super easy
Watching you run around Cayo Perico has stopped me from freezing up in the set up / heist. I've learnt to trust myself, especially with the guard vision cone. I do it the exact same way every time (Longfin / main dock arrival / airstrip loot / drainage tunnel / motorbike and swim), but it's made going to both warehouses on the airstrip a lot more comfortable if I don't get the right combination in the main one. I also keep messing up the motorbike jump behind the guard tower in the setup, but I don't panic and get spotted. Thank you for this and all the other helpful hints you've given in your videos. The nightclub hint about getting in the lift to change escorting a VIP home to throwing out a drunk has saved me a huge amount of time when I'm nipping in to pick up my money and boost the popularity.
@JimShadyUK , bro if you go wid velum approach (instead of longfin) land directly on the airstrip , loot in the hanger, get a boat behind the airstrip go to drainage tunnel, get your primary, and swim, dats elite also everytime i go solo, wid out killing any guard in the compound. its on record in videos every time i go solo very easy and quick.
@@spunkyicheeko Thank you for that! I've always been a bit afraid of deviating from what I currently do in case something goes wrong and I alert the guard and have to restart. I'll have a look for the boat next time.
@@JimShadyUK m glad you like my idea bro, go wid velum next time it will b so much easy and save time (don't forget to hire a guy for your weapon stash in the hanger if you choose velum approach), gud luck bro.
@@spunkyicheeko It's funny because I spent 4 million the other day on a vehicle warehouse and Phantom Wedge purely to make the Longfin set up missions a bit easier. However, because I've been grinding for a while and have other businesses (and doing Cayo Perico), the money came back pretty fast - so even if I never drove it again, I wouldn't hate myself for wasting money. I have room to play around, so maybe it's time to try some other approaches. I'll let you know how I get on - and thank you for the tip!
Something I don't see anyone point out is the fact that secondary loot is worth more or less depending on your main target. Based off my testing, If your target is the pink diamond a pile of coke will be worth about 220k, but if your target is the tequila, a pile of coke is worth about 270k. Making it more crucial to get good secondary loot when you have the tequila.
That is not all the bolt cutter locations... Each item (bolt cutters, grappling hook, guard clothing) have 16 spawn locations and will always spawn at 4 of those locations. *note, you can and will still alert the guards in disguise, you have a timer, a few seconds, that you can pass through their vision before they alert. But it does make you impervious to cameras, which makes killing the power pointless.
I'm level 250 and done hundreds of cayo perico heist and never knew about the poison! Also spin the wheel idea is to use the satchel charge over any stealthy entrance routes. Will make it that more challenging, maybe even more fun??? I know it would be entertaining for the viewers.
For the Bolt Cutters, Guard Clothes and Grappling Hook there are four each item spawn on the Island that you can find during the Scope Out. You can check the locations that you find on the Heist Finale screen. During the Heist Finale, if walk close enough to any of them it will appear on your map. For the guard clothes, everyone can change their clothes at the same spot.
Having the guided missiles is the best way to skip the Merryweather missions. I usually park my kosatka at Elysian island and use the missiles to blow up the helicopter on top of the Hanger. By far the fastest method to skip these missions and a great investment imo.
Man I could not thank you enough! Spent months doing the cayo using the kosatka only. That was back when the repeat mission time was not nerfed and boy I did a lot of runs in one day. Unbelievable that I missed out of a lot of methods like the long fin meta and those wall glitches. You just got one more sub!
For the Merryweather HQ setup mission, you can spawn your kosatka close to the helicopter location. if you get that mission, just launch the missile from your sub and destroy the helicopter. It will save you time and usually after destroying halicopers two times, you'll get your weapons from skyscrapers.
Can't wait to see what happens with the poisoning the water... great job on video never new about the loch Ness monster I thought it was a joke.. it's really cool
I've poisoned the guards before, Pavel talks about it says they're shitting their pants but I don't notice any difference in their behavior. The merrywether setup mission isn't that bad. The chopper always goes to one of three places, you can fly ahead of them and wipe out everyone before they get there to make it quicker
@@adamlury6443 yeah he's got me before, as long as you are in your sparrow or mk2 or whatever, just stay a decent distance away when he's coming in then creep in from behind before he lands , shoot him as soon as his icon turns red a lot of times if you try to let him land his dumbass will blow himself up on a lamp post or vehicle before he turns red and of course ruins the setup
It makes the guards less accurate and also they shoot at you less because they'll be sickly and holding their stomachs. Pretty sure it also reduces their health. I don't think it changes anything regarding stealth.
This video was amazing! I just finally unlocked the perico heist, I've completed it once with a friend and got 1.6mil on the take. It was ROUGH no matter how hard we tried we'd trip the alarms. Can you make a video describing what's the best course of action once you've been made and EVERYONE is trying to kill you? I am now subscribed BTW! Keep up the good work, happy gaming ✌️
I've heard that voiceline by pavel 2 times. wish i knew bout this sooner. I think i caught a glimpse of it tho. it was at the point i jumped off my longfin to go through the drainage tunnel
I personally love to poison the guards because it makes it a hell of a lot easier for me if things get heavy. I’ve also memorized every single location of where the disguises spawn, I honestly don’t remember how many in all but the Max you can get is four on your recon run also there’s five locations where the guard truck spawns but the compound one is the worst by far.
For the merryweather set up mission there's 3 spots it can spawn in and you can tell which one it's going to based on the start of its flight path, you can go to it, blow up all the guards there and then wait for the heli instead of trying to get the better mission as well
I've done it this exact way around when it 1st came out and for some reason 1 guard was on the map close the horse track and I couldn't enter the avenger until I flew back and got him then fly back again, I'm only adding this as a heads up that it could happen to anyone, I just stay away from that set up.
I have never really done the Cayo Perico heist, but intend on getting started soon; having bought the Kosatka & sparrow for my characters for all 3 of my accounts. It seems very intimidating- which is part of why I've never tackled it.
Personally I think that it is the easiest heist to do especially solo. Have one of your friends help you to learn how to do it. It's just a matter of finding a good route and learning which guards to whack and witch ones to avoid. Many videos on it
If I ever hear Pavel say "Detecting multiple Leviathan class lifeforms in the region. Are you certain whatever you are doing is worth it?" I'll turn back to the island and meet the guards :-)
The fact that the island has heavy slip N fall barriers around the shores is aggravating. Some spots you would have no issue getting over, but the game will just activate a trigger that just makes your character slip and fall
a quick tip for the merrywheather mission. this mission chance varies on the distance of the docks. if you are closer to the docks, the merry wheather prep will be almost guaranteed. if you are farther, you have lesser chance to get it
I like the poisoning the guards idea. I will try it. Never had a problem with the noise of the cutting torch but then I haven't played since the update and boy did I get a shock when the alarms started going off when I was in the office for no reason. 7. If you get the Merryweather helicopter just fire off a missile and blow up the heli and the mission fails then start again. Normally you get one of the skyscraper missions straight away but occasionally it can take up to 10 missiles to change it to a skyscraper. A lot better than restarting the session and going back out to your sub IMO. The distance between the seat and the table is a lot shorter.
7:03 my method is to park the kosatka within torpedo lock in range and start the setup mission, if i happen to get Merryweather i either sit down and fire a few torpedoes that are locked in to the helicopter, which due to me being so close to it that it takes off and helps the torpedoes to hit more accurately, or i run to my sparrow and unload all my missiles , and go back into my sub within 30 or so seconds , i find it takes less time then going to a different lobby.
About #3: Poisoning the water supply, does it matter which water tower you pour the powder into? Does it only work when u pour it into the water tower nearest to the compound? Great videos and luv ur channel!!
btw cool video you just gave me an idea for "poison the guards", m gonna cover that scene in cinematic in my next video, appreciated keep doin a great work
I actually like the Merryweather HQ mission. You can quickly tell which one of the three locations the Heli is heading to. So as soon as you trigger the Heli to take off I simply start heading directly north and after a short while I check the map to see where they are heading. I then fly to the location and land just far enough away so as not to be detected by the guards on the ground. Then I get my sniper rifle and head shot all the guards before the Merryweather Heli arrives. Then I wait for it to land and use my heavy sniper rifle, which has explosive rounds to hit destroy the heli without them shooting back. Then just go to the Avenger, get the weapons, jump out and parachute back down to where my helicopter is and away I go. With the skyscraper ones I like to use the flare gun and listen to the sweet music of the guards burning to death 😁
@Pits Taste Good You can actually go into the office without being detected by half the guards. - Before walking through the door, shoot it open and take out the guard by the desk, then the one on the right side. - Walk through the door and shoot the door open on the left side and shoot the guard there - Walk in, shoot the next door and shoot the guard next to the computer - Hug the left side as much as you can and no one will notice you
@@ahighferretyou can prevent all guards inside from spawning if you clear out everyone on the ground level from far enough away that they don’t aggro/see you
Gave you a like for tip number 5. That’s awesome to be able to just take the bike and drive off into the water and not worry about the body being spotted. Thx
There's quite a bit of dialogue to unlock while scoping the island by taking pictures of different Easter eggs.....I also stole a jet on the aircraft carrier during the heist and obviously the ait defenses shred me to pieces...oh maybe the treasure chests ? Anyway cool video !!
alternative to starting a new session, if you have bought the guided missile launchers for your sub you can use those and blow up the helicopter, it will fail the setup and you ca retry for the penris building. I have used this method of reset on 17 different heists and on average i use 5 missiles.
There is a simpler way to do the Merryweather chopper mission is to go to locations. There are about 4 locations where it can be 1 near the airstrip on sandy shores, top of the lake on sandy shores, and finally, one near the oceans where the train crashed in the Dax mission (forgot what it called)
for the merryweather mission if you go to your missile system and blow up the heli it reduces chances of getting it again if you keep blowing it up. after blowing up the heli ive only ever gotten it two times before it switches to the building
I bought the Kosatka guided missiles exclusively for shooting the helicopter from the Merryweather setup. I don't know if it's faster but it's damn satisfying
You can shoot the helicopter with your submarine guided missile on the merry weather set up mission (so you dont have to change lobbies). I used to skip it but after skipping it 6 times in a row I might as well just do it 😂
Interesting, I didn't know about the key thing, like you said I thought it was normal. I mean you get the same gun every time so it's a bit pointless, it should be money or something. Once you've got the gun you've got it.
Subbed your channel bro and gave that 👍🏼 as I’ve not done it with giving the guards the drainage powder will be looking out for it thanks for the info 👍🏼💯🏴
To avoid merrywether HQ, I use the homing missles of Kosatka to destroy the Valkyrie that you must follow. It will fail the prep but will give you a new location. I avoid joining new sessiom because it will spawn my Kosatka randomly further and fast travel is a waste of money for me.
with the merryweather weapon source mission if you fast travel the kosatka to elysian island location then the game will always give office set up cus it deems merryweather too close so therefore too easy. idk but its worked for me last 10 cayo pericos
When I get the Merryweather crap, I just go to the helicopter to trigger the event, then I just look at one of three location, pop everyone wait for the helicopter to arrive and boom... It saves time !! ♥️
Regarding the Merryweather, just shoot down the Heli from the kosatka and most often will get another option ...probably easier than leaving the session 😉
I've noticed when trying to get a different equipment mission other than following the helicopter, I fast travel in the sub to one of the northern locations and it seems to help spawn the other mission....not 100 percent but I've noticed it helps
What I do for *Number 7* to avoid the merryweather HQ mission is as soon as I come back from Cayo Perico I spawn my sparrow beside me and fly over to merryweather HQ and I spawn my submarine there so everytime I get the merryweather mission I use the sub missiles to blow up the helicopter and I start the mission again, possibly quicker and definitely more fun than switching sessions all of the time
I dont know if u know this or not,but the easy way to handle Merriweather, is fast travel to last spot on the list. Then use guided missiles to take down the chopper.u then will fail.repeat till u get an office bldg.easy ad 1,2,3.
If you got the sub buy the sparrow make sure its got the guided rockets,spawn kasatka west side of airport if you get merry hq just fly over (30 seconds away( blow up heli go back restart😂 much quicker
I actually prefer the merryweather weapon setup tbh, the code thing for the others gives me a bit of a headache so sending homing missiles into a clump of mercs is a lot easier for me, the merryweather patrol boat one sucks tho
There is an easier way to reset the merry weather weapons mission. All you need is have missles installed on your Kosatka. When the merryweather mission pops up just launch a missle from your sun. Fly to merry weather head quarters and blow up the helicopter. Mission will reset and allow you to restart the weapons mission without leaving the session or your sub. I invented this move, so you’re welcome!
Destroying the armor supply and poisoning the water is worth it every time. When they're poisoned you can basically stand right in front of a guard unloading a clip and they'll hit you maybe once. It's crazy.
If you want to completely avoid getting the merryweather setup park your submarine right next to merryweather building. You will always get 707 Vespucci or shlongberg towers
For the alarm in 5:49 they changed this in recent patches. I killed the dude on the bike and the one near the heli where the guy on the vehicle spots the dead body and thus triggers the alarm. This does indeed fail your elit challenge now since the last patch (Last dose) was implemented.
well if you have fill your bags, before you leave the compound, like you can see in his video, it don't fail the elite challenge. I'm a speedrunner, so i know how the game mechanics work.😉
You know what’s funny? I got the bearer bonds four times in a row last week, and each time there was cocaine in every sweet spot I usually hit. Now, luck is apparently not on my side anymore, because I keep getting the tequila.
I think doing the merryweather set up is not that bad Cus you can’t have to follow the helicopter as it only goes 3 locations (next to airfield in desert, grapersead and by the factory) if you figure out roughly where the helliecopter is going then you can do there and the avenger will be waiting for you. If you then kill all the cards just wait for the helicopter to arrive and One it is there then you can shoot it down with an RPG and continue to go in the avenger and get the weapons like normal
Hey Taco i know i might be way late but i was wondering what will happen when you do the scope out mission and do the hack at the contol tower without scaning through the cameras then can you just close your phone right when you've done the hack can you just head on back to L.S would you still be able to go on your phone and see your primary target 🤔
@ 7:50 you can use the mission that is inside your submarine instead of going to the HQ or switching session. Especially if you parked your submarine on the beach already.
After seeing the primary loot while scouting create a new character. Switch back to your main character and you will have the madrazo files same as bearer bonds loot.
I do a stray where I first scale out the airport for poor , then go to the communications tower. After I check the cctv footage, I just jump off the tower to my death. And I just get instantly teleported to the place
Avoid Merryweather by blowing up the chopper with guided missile. You don't have to change lobby's or move or any of that.just go back n forth till you get downtown.
I’ve had 0 spawns for disguise. Kinda sucks. It’s okay tho… I come in on the boat… take as much coke and cash as I can and then get the primary and then I dip… stealth is the go to way to play the mission
11:01 wait thats rare? i feel like ive gotten that voice prompt at least 12 out of the 20 times i've done the heist, I will definitely be looking out for this now
Dat spelling of Poison tho. The powder just makes the enemy shoot less accurately. If you have the missiles on your sub, you can use that to destroy the merryweather heli to fail the mission, then start it again to try for the better mission.
I got the dialogue of pavel talking about loch ness once but haven't seen it. so I was confused, was he is talking about and expected someone to appear (the old friend) 😂
If you get the Merryweather setup mission use your guided missiles and take out the helicopter on top of the building. Continue that method till you get the location you want
I just did cayo earlier, after i got the primary target i got up using the elevator but one of the guards cone of vision filled the entire minimap, my stealth has been ruined.
Nice Video SFT, couple of things in there that I didn´t know, even after doing about 100 CP Heists! so thx... one thing I haven´t figured out is how to use different outfits for the heist(not disguise) all I get is four simple choices. I have bought CP Heist outfits, but not saved them. Is this maybe the problem?
My strategy is to move the Kosatka close to Merryweather HQ before starting the weapon loadout. Then launch a cruise missile and take out the helicopter, and restart the mission.
Hi Notification Legends!! Sorry for the late upload, This video took longer than I thought to make 🤣🤣 Hope you enjoy!
Its all good 👍 your videos r the shit
I always do that, all the time
or instead of resetting you can just grab a cargobob, move a dinghy onto the roof of that area and blow up the dinghy and repeat until there are 3 blown up dinghys on the roof of the merryweather dock
The Merryweather setup can be addressed with the sub's guided missile system. Just sit down, fire one off and guide it right to the Merryweather building roof where the helicopter is waiting for you and blow it up. Then do it again. Most I've ever had to repeat is 3 times.
9 times here... ;-)
Or just load into another session if you don’t have the missiles
5 times for me
Another option is after you blow up the helicopter, finish the other prep items (except the approach vehicle), then when you select the weapon prep 9/10 times you will get an office building.
I just use my opresser mkll

The chopper always goes to one of three places, you can fly ahead of them and wipe out everyone before they get there to make it quicker
i think the poisoning is not actually changing their routes but instead making them have less health
Their aim gets worse and they set the alarm later
Ya but the problem with going ahead of them is that the valkyrie has that explosive cannon and can obliterate you in seconds

To avoid the merry weather prep you can also simply use your sparrow to blow up the helicopter, the next time you start the prep will be different
7:38 you can also use guided missiles to blast the merry weather helicopter and that will also reset the mission
I've heard that voiceline by pavel 2 times. wish i knew bout this sooner. I think i caught a glimpse of it tho. it was at the point i jumped off my longfin to go through the drainage tunnel
When you start a new lobby to avoid the merrywether mission don't forget to set ur spawn location to kosatka to speed things up
Yeah 100%
I'm really enjoying your videos. I see a big future on RUclips for you.
I appreciate that!

10:37 no way i actually got that voice line in my first time doing the heist and i never knew what it ment
fav small youtuber 🙌🙌
Fun video! I never knew about poisoning the guards. Looking forward to seeing that video today!
About #3: Poisoning the water supply, does it matter which water tower you pour the powder into? Does it only work when u pour it into the water tower nearest to the compound? Great videos and luv ur channel!!
btw cool video you just gave me an idea for "poison the guards", m gonna cover that scene in cinematic in my next video, appreciated keep doin a great work
You can also use a metal detector to dig up treasure on the island during your surveillance mission.
So I have thalassophobia and when Pavel said there’s something big in the water for the first time, I refused to swim out for the heist lmao
I feel bad for u
You should try subnautica
I actually like the Merryweather HQ mission. You can quickly tell which one of the three locations the Heli is heading to. So as soon as you trigger the Heli to take off I simply start heading directly north and after a short while I check the map to see where they are heading. I then fly to the location and land just far enough away so as not to be detected by the guards on the ground. Then I get my sniper rifle and head shot all the guards before the Merryweather Heli arrives. Then I wait for it to land and use my heavy sniper rifle, which has explosive rounds to hit destroy the heli without them shooting back. Then just go to the Avenger, get the weapons, jump out and parachute back down to where my helicopter is and away I go.
With the skyscraper ones I like to use the flare gun and listen to the sweet music of the guards burning to death 😁
Me walk into office and mini gun go boom. Done in less than two minutes.
@Pits Taste Good You can actually go into the office without being detected by half the guards.
- Before walking through the door, shoot it open and take out the guard by the desk, then the one on the right side.
- Walk through the door and shoot the door open on the left side and shoot the guard there
- Walk in, shoot the next door and shoot the guard next to the computer
- Hug the left side as much as you can and no one will notice you
@@ahighferretyou can prevent all guards inside from spawning if you clear out everyone on the ground level from far enough away that they don’t aggro/see you
Gave you a like for tip number 5. That’s awesome to be able to just take the bike and drive off into the water and not worry about the body being spotted. Thx
There's quite a bit of dialogue to unlock while scoping the island by taking pictures of different Easter eggs.....I also stole a jet on the aircraft carrier during the heist and obviously the ait defenses shred me to pieces...oh maybe the treasure chests ? Anyway cool video !!
Going strong eh? Good to see you keep growing mate
Never knew about that locked compound by the north dock that you can open solo! Literally gonna try it out right now
alternative to starting a new session, if you have bought the guided missile launchers for your sub you can use those and blow up the helicopter, it will fail the setup and you ca retry for the penris building. I have used this method of reset on 17 different heists and on average i use 5 missiles.
The fact that you showed #2 even though you could of promoted the video you have up just makes you a legendary content creator, subbing now.
Didn't know bout the bad water. Tha was fun 😃 cheers bud 👍
There is a simpler way to do the Merryweather chopper mission is to go to locations. There are about 4 locations where it can be 1 near the airstrip on sandy shores, top of the lake on sandy shores, and finally, one near the oceans where the train crashed in the Dax mission (forgot what it called)
Hoped it helped
3 locations one at the palmer Taylor Power plant, one out by the sandy shores airport, and one by the other airport across the alamo sea
@@donaldsalkovick396 thanks
for the merryweather mission if you go to your missile system and blow up the heli it reduces chances of getting it again if you keep blowing it up. after blowing up the heli ive only ever gotten it two times before it switches to the building
I bought the Kosatka guided missiles exclusively for shooting the helicopter from the Merryweather setup. I don't know if it's faster but it's damn satisfying
I respect the daily uploads 😊
Bolt cutters allow you to silently cut the chains, so it doesn't alert nearby guards.
Loving the cayo facts video, very awesome 😎
You can shoot the helicopter with your submarine guided missile on the merry weather set up mission (so you dont have to change lobbies). I used to skip it but after skipping it 6 times in a row I might as well just do it 😂
Interesting, I didn't know about the key thing, like you said I thought it was normal. I mean you get the same gun every time so it's a bit pointless, it should be money or something. Once you've got the gun you've got it.
Subbed your channel bro and gave that 👍🏼 as I’ve not done it with giving the guards the drainage powder will be looking out for it thanks for the info 👍🏼💯🏴
To avoid merrywether HQ, I use the homing missles of Kosatka to destroy the Valkyrie that you must follow. It will fail the prep but will give you a new location.
I avoid joining new sessiom because it will spawn my Kosatka randomly further and fast travel is a waste of money for me.
Underrated youtuber
with the merryweather weapon source mission if you fast travel the kosatka to elysian island location then the game will always give office set up cus it deems merryweather too close so therefore too easy. idk but its worked for me last 10 cayo pericos
When I get the Merryweather crap, I just go to the helicopter to trigger the event, then I just look at one of three location, pop everyone wait for the helicopter to arrive and boom... It saves time !! ♥️
Regarding the Merryweather, just shoot down the Heli from the kosatka and most often will get another option ...probably easier than leaving the session 😉
I've noticed when trying to get a different equipment mission other than following the helicopter, I fast travel in the sub to one of the northern locations and it seems to help spawn the other mission....not 100 percent but I've noticed it helps
Good video, can u do a Common mistakes or whatnottodo video, i keep triggering the alarm one way or anothen, then raging😂
Good idea!
What I do for *Number 7* to avoid the merryweather HQ mission is as soon as I come back from Cayo Perico I spawn my sparrow beside me and fly over to merryweather HQ and I spawn my submarine there so everytime I get the merryweather mission I use the sub missiles to blow up the helicopter and I start the mission again, possibly quicker and definitely more fun than switching sessions all of the time
Don’t need to blow it up, just get close and it won’t let you do that mission
I dont know if u know this or not,but the easy way to handle Merriweather, is fast travel to last spot on the list. Then use guided missiles to take down the chopper.u then will fail.repeat till u get an office bldg.easy ad 1,2,3.
If you got the sub buy the sparrow make sure its got the guided rockets,spawn kasatka west side of airport if you get merry hq just fly over (30 seconds away( blow up heli go back restart😂 much quicker
I actually prefer the merryweather weapon setup tbh, the code thing for the others gives me a bit of a headache so sending homing missiles into a clump of mercs is a lot easier for me, the merryweather patrol boat one sucks tho
There is an easier way to reset the merry weather weapons mission. All you need is have missles installed on your Kosatka. When the merryweather mission pops up just launch a missle from your sun. Fly to merry weather head quarters and blow up the helicopter. Mission will reset and allow you to restart the weapons mission without leaving the session or your sub. I invented this move, so you’re welcome!
Destroying the armor supply and poisoning the water is worth it every time. When they're poisoned you can basically stand right in front of a guard unloading a clip and they'll hit you maybe once. It's crazy.
Editing mistake 2 was #1 love the video tho g
If you want to completely avoid getting the merryweather setup park your submarine right next to merryweather building. You will always get 707 Vespucci or shlongberg towers
For the alarm in 5:49 they changed this in recent patches. I killed the dude on the bike and the one near the heli where the guy on the vehicle spots the dead body and thus triggers the alarm. This does indeed fail your elit challenge now since the last patch (Last dose) was implemented.
well if you have fill your bags, before you leave the compound, like you can see in his video, it don't fail the elite challenge. I'm a speedrunner, so i know how the game mechanics work.😉
if you would do cayo as a duo could one dive stright down and disabel the air defenses and then you could just fly in the compound
Disabling air defenses only disables them on airstrip, does not affect compound.
@@DeCo85 oh oke thanks
For guns I move my sub to the top/mid left side of the map, then I start weapons prep, I usually get the towers. I hate Merryweather setup also
You know what’s funny? I got the bearer bonds four times in a row last week, and each time there was cocaine in every sweet spot I usually hit. Now, luck is apparently not on my side anymore, because I keep getting the tequila.
I think doing the merryweather set up is not that bad Cus you can’t have to follow the helicopter as it only goes 3 locations (next to airfield in desert, grapersead and by the factory) if you figure out roughly where the helliecopter is going then you can do there and the avenger will be waiting for you. If you then kill all the cards just wait for the helicopter to arrive and One it is there then you can shoot it down with an RPG and continue to go in the avenger and get the weapons like normal
Hey Taco i know i might be way late but i was wondering what will happen when you do the scope out mission and do the hack at the contol tower without scaning through the cameras then can you just close your phone right when you've done the hack can you just head on back to L.S would you still be able to go on your phone and see your primary target 🤔
I can't count how many times ive heard Pavel talk about his "large friend ". Ill watch out for it next time.
Second time in a row now, I’ve gotten the tequila, secondary loot all cash, no paintings, coke or grass.
Great video! Thanks for the entertainment
Glad you enjoyed it!
Yooo, which job do you get that blue duffle bag from?? I have at least 8 different ones right now but been wanting that blue one! Thanks in advance
@ 7:50 you can use the mission that is inside your submarine instead of going to the HQ or switching session. Especially if you parked your submarine on the beach already.
After seeing the primary loot while scouting create a new character. Switch back to your main character and you will have the madrazo files same as bearer bonds loot.
I do a stray where I first scale out the airport for poor , then go to the communications tower. After I check the cctv footage, I just jump off the tower to my death. And I just get instantly teleported to the place
Avoid Merryweather by blowing up the chopper with guided missile. You don't have to change lobby's or move or any of that.just go back n forth till you get downtown.
It is funny after all the times we’ve robbed that compound we’ve never once gone straight for the front gate’s button
I’ve had 0 spawns for disguise. Kinda sucks. It’s okay tho… I come in on the boat… take as much coke and cash as I can and then get the primary and then I dip… stealth is the go to way to play the mission
Great 👍 1 you know if you want the powder to work you have to get caught 😉
U can loot a skeleton at the beach that drops a metal detector & map & wen u scouting u can go digg out the loot
11:01 wait thats rare? i feel like ive gotten that voice prompt at least 12 out of the 20 times i've done the heist, I will definitely be looking out for this now
The panther out of its cage during a heist is also pretty cool. And rare
Nessie isn't that rare if the voice promp is the key ... I get that every Cayo run as I swim from compound to airstrip after looting main target
Dat spelling of Poison tho.
The powder just makes the enemy shoot less accurately.
If you have the missiles on your sub, you can use that to destroy the merryweather heli to fail the mission, then start it again to try for the better mission.
I ALWAYS use the cutting powder, it makes doing the heist SO MUCH easier.
did u know that parachuting from tower into mansion, during the heist scope mission, will take u to airplane without the cutscene?
I got the dialogue of pavel talking about loch ness once but haven't seen it. so I was confused, was he is talking about and expected someone to appear (the old friend) 😂
I remember coming back from work and enjoy playing my game
I used to do 3 to 4 times
the cayo perico
But anymore
Thx to Rockstar
Weapon prep:
when you get to follow the heli
it's faster to destroy it and come back to sub unless you have god like internet
If you get the Merryweather setup mission use your guided missiles and take out the helicopter on top of the building. Continue that method till you get the location you want
I just did cayo earlier, after i got the primary target i got up using the elevator but one of the guards cone of vision filled the entire minimap, my stealth has been ruined.
Nice Video SFT, couple of things in there that I didn´t know, even after doing about 100 CP Heists! so thx... one thing I haven´t figured out is how to use different outfits for the heist(not disguise) all I get is four simple choices. I have bought CP Heist outfits, but not saved them. Is this maybe the problem?
The outfits depend on the way you enter the island. Can't use any outside outfits.
My strategy is to move the Kosatka close to Merryweather HQ before starting the weapon loadout. Then launch a cruise missile and take out the helicopter, and restart the mission.
