Cayo Perico Heist Guide (Edited)

Cayo Perico Heist Guide (Edited)
PRESS START<
Hey everyone since the update in GTA this newest heist has been the most profitable and easiest way to make money. So I wanted to create a guide to help others master this heist, and to help those who are struggling with it.
Note: This guide is for new players, first timers, and anyone who is struggling to complete this heist. Please use this as reference to deepen your understanding of the heist. If you have a better strat, more power to you. This however is my strat, criticism is welcome.
So to begin, you will have to buy the Kosatka (submarine), which is located on warstock for 2.2mil. It also has upgrades you can buy but the most noteworthy upgrade is definitely the Sparrow upgrade (1.8mil) this upgrade will make traveling back and forth much easier since your sub is located in the sea.
Noteworthy things about sub:
  • If you hover above your sub with a sparrow you can instantly enter it.
  • You can get free snacks at the cafeteria
  • You can fast travel; if you never completed the heist its 10k, after completion its 2k
  • Your toreador vehicle can enter through the bottom
  • You can call dingy if you can not afford the sparrow
After you get the sub you’ll be introduced to characters and will have to go to LSIA, where you will travel to Cayo Perico, after you arrive everything henceforth is pretty straightforward. After you escape the party you will have to enter the main island through the checkpoint ( Google Boom Gate), PLEASE DO NOT SWIM AROUND THE ISLAND. You will waste so much time doing so, just run through the gated door next to the checkpoint and avoid entering enemy cones, watch for vehicles and watchtower cones. The biggest things to scope out are the infiltration points and exfil points; the airport strip is already marked, the biggest point to scope out after you hack the cameras is the drainage tunnel. This will require swimming, the drainage tunnel is located on the coast of El Rubio’s compound you can dive and find it, Pavel will give you a vocal cue when you find it. When you are looking through cameras after hacking make sure to cycle through every camera, turning to find secondary points, stop until you get back to the Panther Cage. Don’t bother scoping anything else like bolt cutter’s or grappling hooks, because you will not need them. I added a map of Cayo Perico to show where everything is, please note that there are many ways to do this heist this is just my way of doing so. After you found the drainage tunnel and finished your objective, get caught and make your way to the airport strip to leave. Also note there are different Primary targets the first time will always be the files the second will vary, look in the tips for scoping out to see the rankings.

Tips for Scoping out
  • On your second time doing the heist you will start at the air strip. There are 2 dirt bikes located at the strip one by the entrance to the strip and one by the solar panels next to the power station. You can take the bikes and drive up and over the checkpoint to get to the communications tower faster. At the checkpoint to the left there's a little stone wall in front of the guards tower. You can drive the bike up the ledge and get over it, for a quicker way you can also drive the bike up the ledge a little bit in front of the wall to also get over.
  • If you solo, scope out any important secondary point. There's a secondary point in the airstrip hangar, at the entrance of the hangar look right to see the box you can climb, use this to get to the second floor to get the secondary point. (To clarify check the targets spawns and only mark coke and weed; do not mark weed at the strip and north dock only coke, mark weed at the main dock)
  • When you are heading to the communications tower to hack, pay attention to the guard, if there is a guard, the box is located up the tower, if there is no guard it's on ground level.
  • You can kill yourself or get caught to go back to the airstrip.
  • You can also poison the guards water supply to weaken them but unless you're going aggressive don’t bother.
  • There are boats out in water you can steal but I would only do this to scope out the drainage tunnel the first time.
  • You only need to scope infiltration points and exfils points once, secondary targets and tools must be scoped out every time.
  • Secondary targets and tools are RNG based so if you're looking for tool and it’s not there it’s because of RNG
  • Secondary Targets Rank: Gold>Cocaine>Paintings>Weed>Cash
  • These also will fill your bag different
  • Gold=66% Cocaine=50% Paintings=50% Weed=37.5% Cash=25%
  • The price for secondary targets are RNG based but Gold, cocaine, and Paintings have the most value
  • Secondary Targets Values are RNG based.
  • Gold=332k, Cocaine=220k, Paintings=189k, Weed=147k, Cash=80k-90kCredit goes to u/FMT_WL1
  • Primary Targets Ranked: Panther Statue 1.9M>Pink Diamond 1.4M> Bearer Bonds 1.1M> Ruby necklace 1M> Tequila 900k
Preps
In order to start the heist you must do preps, for this heist you can do however many you want but for this guide you will only need to do 5. Keep your sub in Los Santos until the fifth prep mission, if you decide to do the longfin prep you can keep your sub at Los Santos.
Prep 1/ The Cutting Torch:
This prep mission is pretty straightforward, head to the construction site and land close enough. Before heading in, try to locate the yellow hard hat and put it on, this will make the enemy non-hostile, which makes for an easy mission. Your job is to locate the torch in a tool box. You can find it by looking in the box, it's a blue torch, search the box and head back to your sub. Also when searching for the box try to avoid staying in the enemy cones for too long and bumping into workers because this will make the enemies hostile if you do these.
Prep 2/ Safe Code or Plasma Cutter
There are two missions. The mission will vary on your primary, if you have the bearer bonds it’s the safe code, anything else it’s the Plasma Torch.
Safe Code Mission: Head to the casino at the entrance, after entering turn left and enter the elevator (if you have a penthouse you can go up without entering the parking garage). You will have to find a car in the parking garage. It's a yellow cheap car, it never changes. After finding it you will get the card which will allow you to head up into the penthouses, after getting up there search for two guards and head shot with a suppressed weapon. If done right you will calmly walk into the apartment, you can then search the penthouse for the target, he will never change. It's a guy with a cowboy hat, kill him and leave the penthouse, you will have to fight your way out. If you slam into the entrance of the penthouse you will have to fight your way in. After getting the code get back to your sub.
Plasma Cutter Mission: This is pretty straightforward, for ease take your oppressor instead of your Sparrow for higher mobility. You will have to head to the office to get the plasma cutter, but it’s not there. Pavel will instruct you to find the board and take a picture of it, the board is easy to find. Afterwards he will locate them and ping it on your map, they usually always spawn near Vinewood hills or the beach. Take them out with your oppressor missiles and fly over the bag and leave cause they will spawn two cars to shoot you.
Prep 3/ Fingerprint Cloner: This mission is simple, you will have to head to a location on your map, outside are two cameras, ignore them and walk into the garage, after entering take cover behind the box forward and blind shot everyone with your shotgun. After the enemies are dead hack the laptop in the back and head to the archives. Outside the archives are cameras, shoot them and go inside. Pavel will tell you that you're looking for a small card, it always spawns in the back in the desk square, grab it and head back.
Prep 4/ Weapon Load out: Always buy the suppressors, as for which load out I suggest the Conspirator due to the sticky bombs (there is a bug where you will get suppressors without buying them, just in case purchase it to be safe). There are two possible missions you can be given. One is in Los Santos in an office, for the other you will have to follow a Valkyrie up North.
Weapons Possible Mission 1: Pavel will send you to an office in Los Santos you can either go through the ground entrance or the roof, I suggest the roof entrance but no matter what you will have to fight inside. Once inside clear the office and head to the back to find the gun safe, it’s always located left of the desk on the wall, hack the laptop on the desk and open the safe. Grab the weapons and leave. If you enter on the roof you can fly back but two chopper’s will spawn, shoot their gunman on the sides and hellies will be useless. Another suggestion is to leave immediately, and snack up to restore health. On ground level the hellies will still spawn again shoot the gunman and head back to the sub.
Weapons Possible Mission 2: You will have to head to Elysian Island to find the Valkyrie you do not need to stay close to it. You can predict it’s direction and head North to clear the camp on foot, also avoid destroying the Avenger and the Valkyrie. Do not destroy the Valkyrie until it becomes a target on your mini map or you will fail the prep. After clearing the camp head into the Avenger and kill the enemies, afterwards parachute out and leave before more Merrywheather show up.
Prep 5/ Kosatka: ( You can also do the Longfin, but I prefer Kosatka as an approach vehicle.)
This is a simple mission, after starting it head into your sub driver seat and fast travel to the nearest location near the ping. After you arrive dive your sub over to the location, once you get near get on your periscope and missile the boats and the helli. You can sink your sub and engage auto-pilot under water giving you better access to the enemies sub. Try to avoid beaching your sub on shallow water and put it in the middle of the yellow circle. Leave the driver seat and exit your sub, dive into the water and look for the other sub with a yellow marker on top. After entering the enemies sub you must locate the jammer. You have two paths, one on the right, this is usually where it spawns, take the ladder down and watch your corners cause enemies are brutal in this mission. After entering the engine room look for a black box with a blue screen at the bottom of the stairs if it's not there head back the way you came. Take the left path and make your way to the control room WATCH THOSE CORNERS. If it's not there head to the back of the control room and take the stairs down, follow the path it will lead you into the torpedo room, that another spawn. Leave and head back to your sub.
Prep 5/ Longfin
This mission is located in Los Santos basically you can take a phantom (Semi-truck) to the police station to pick up a boat of which you can use as an approach for the heist. This mission is simple: you basically go and pick up a phantom, afterwards you drive to impound to pick up the longfin. You will be met with enemies. The one I did was the cop impound, you can enter with your phantom and drive out. It's best to clear the area, and let the cops kill you for an easier delivery (you can't call Lester). You can use your own Phantom wedge to clear vehicles out of the way.
(during the heist you can use this get loot before you enter the drainage tunnel , this can be quicker way if your loot is out the way)
This includes the scope out and the preps
This includes the scope out and the preps
Tips For Preps
  • The biggest tip is the Sparrow, this will make prepping a joke, the only time you won’t need it is during the plasma cutter and Kosatka missions, but that's due to mobility.
  • You can see the cutting torch it’s blue
  • You can blow up the Valkyrie and end the mission to get the office mission to save time, I highly suggest this ( I do this mostly because you have to follow the helli up North and wait for it to land.)
  • The preps are the same, they never change
  • Save the Kosatka heist for last so you can do all 4 preps in Los Santos
The Heist
Time to Start the Heist. Go to screen and tab to Finale and shift over to continue to start the mission. Once you get to the selection process pick your options. It should be Kosatka or Longfin, Drainage, Drainage, Main docks or Kotsatka, and Day Time (there's very little difference between day or night). If you're playing with others you must hurry through the selection screen because if you take too long the cuts will reset due to a bug.
Squad Run
When you begin the mission you will have to make your way to the drainage tunnel, if you chose the Kosatka you will have to swim to the tunnel, but if you chose the Longfin you will have to drive the boat to the tunnel. Once you arrive you will have to cut the bars at the gate, a suggestion to do this is to go in a circle three times and cut whatever remains. Afterwards swim through the tunnel and enter the compound.
Compound
Once you enter the compound you will have two directions to go, the left or the right. My way is to go to the left, up the stairs is a guard next to the storage staring out at the water, head shot him and make your way to the courtyard. If you followed my instructions the two guards at the pool will be to your left. In the courtyard there should be a guard coming, wait for him to stop and head shot him. After that, ready your shot at the two guards at the pool, choose your target. Since you're in a squad, ready your shot, as a suggestion one person can count down from three to one to shoot at the same time to eliminate any mistakes ( these two guards usually drop the gate keys). The next is to eliminate the juggernaut, the way to identify him is by his red cone and red skull icon. He can be killed by a single headshot, if you and your squad were quick with the guards at the pool he should be arriving, take him out. In front of the pool there are two separate guards, one will be in front of the office building to identify him, the camera is facing the pool, if you time it correctly he will be to the right of the camera making for an easy elimination. The other guard is North East of the front of the pool, or to the right of the guard you just killed. You can eliminate him if you want too, the reason I do so is because me and my mates can all access the storages without worry. Next are three guards at the office, to identify them they will have red cones. One of the guards will be moving North towards the main gate and then will move South towards the pool. You have two options, one is to wait for him to head North and take him out, or you can head shot him when he’s coming South. To achieve this there are stairs directly in front of the pool, if you take the stairs up to the right you now have enough elevation to see the guards head ( this is tricky to explain which is why I will also have a video example for visual clarification.) After taking the guard out you can head up the stairs into the office area, once up the stairs head to the right, for clarification the pool will be to the left and main gate to your right. Head down the corridor if you have done this correctly the guards back will be facing you, take him out. To your left are stairs that leads to the office, take them up, at this point the guard at the top will start to move. You have two options, one you can wait behind a corner and hit the guard or if you are quick enough the guard will stop for a brief moment, giving a chance for an easy headshot. At this point you can enter the office, where you can grab the second keycard, the first keycard is dropped by any guard you have killed ( it usually drops on the first kill, but this is RNG based). In the office there are three things you can do, one is you can hack the elevator which leads to the basement, ignore this hack. The other things are either a painting that can randomly spawn in the office, and a safe on the right wall in the back of the office. Open the safe to get anywhere between 50k to 100k, THIS DOES NOT TAKE SPACE. When you have everything, start to loot up and fill your bag by going to the storages located around the compound, to open the storages you will need the two keycards and two people. You and your squad mates will have to swipe your card at the same time to open the door, another suggestion is to use the three to one countdown to sync swipes. The South Storage will have a guard moving, the guard is located to the left of the two guards you killed at the pool, take him out and watch for the camera. After you are done, please make sure to save space for the basement storage, make your way to the basement gates, they are located beneath the office building to the left and right, it does not matter which gate you choose. Once you are in the basement you will be presented with a hack, it may look daunting but in fact it is rather simple, I suggest matching the top first and making your way down. Afterwards loot up and grab the Primary Target, it is really straightforward to do so. At this time Pavel will tell the players that more guards have arrived, if you have followed thus far, you do not have to worry. Exit the basement, and head North to the main gate there should two guards, one will be moving the other stationary. You can take the stationary guard, you can also take the guard moving but if you and your squad can make it to the gate without doing so, go ahead. The host will be prompted to select the escape route, select it and a cutscene will begin. After you will be located outside the compound.
Kill in this order
Outside The Compound
You and your squad will be outside, if you are satisfied with your loot head left to the coast, you can jump off the cliff into the water. Once in the water you can swim off the island ,just keep heading straight and eventually you will have escaped. You can also try to steal a boat; note that some have claimed that boats may not spawn but if you manage to grab a boat this can make getting to and from much quicker. If you are missing loot head forward and take the guard next to the bike out, one person will have to head left toward a guard near a helli take him out and plant four stickies on the chopper. At the same time the other members will turn right towards the checkpoint, there should be three guards two together and one separate, and a camera behind the two guards. Take the one separate out, then the two guards, and the camera. Around the checkpoint are three bikes plus the bike with the very first guard killed. One of the bikes is hidden to the left of the checkpoint booth the other is directly in front. Start making your way towards the main docks, turn right into the jungle the moment you leave the stopping checkpoint. Pay attention to the guard tower to your right and avoid his cone, at this time Pavel will tell the squad that El Rubio’s helli is on the move, activate the stickies and he will retreat away from the island. Once you are close enough to the docks go on foot, your objective is to loot and take the boat off the island. There are two secondary loot locations, one is a warehouse with a guard and camera outside, take them out and loot. The other is located to the right with two separate guards, please refer to Sportskeeda map to see the location. Take them out and loot. Afterwards there are 3-4 guards you have to take out at the docks, to leave without alerting the guard. Two guards standing next to the boat, and one or two stationary guards looking out at the water. After clearing the guards, grab the boat and escape Cayo Perico. Congrats you have now completed the heist.
Note: You can approach the compound in any way you choose, my way is a bit complicated but with practice you can clear the compound at the same time as other routes. Feel free to adjust the route in anyway, my route is just a reference to get an idea as to how to approach the compound.
Note: I do it the same exact way when I solo, but since I’m solo I can skip guards and head to my objective. For the Solo run I go for cocaine, you NOT have to do this. I do this to maximize my profit, and since I am competent in my abilities I can clear the mission without many mistakes.
Solo Run
The strat is the same except it will be harder to take out the two guards by the pool, the major difference is you can not open the storage's to get gold or loot, you might be lucky to get painting in the office but that's RNG. A good tip when taking on double guards is to find a good angle, after killing one the other will flinch, he will prop his head up giving you the shot. You can scope the rest of island to find the most profitable loot which is cocaine, if there is none then get weed and cash (by scoping out I’m referring to checking the spawns for coke, if there is none at North docks and the Air Strip I ignore them, I do not mark every item only Coke and any profitable items at Main Docks). After leaving the compound there will be a guard in front of you next to a bike, kill him. Turn left and head to the next guy next to a helli, kill him and plant four stickies on the heli, do not activate them yet. Go back the way you came, there will be three guards at a checkpoint two together, one standing away. Kill the one standing away and then prepare to kill the two guards, after their dead shoot the camera and jump over the stop rail. You will have to be quick because a car will drive towards the checkpoint so make sure to do all that quickly. You have two options: you can swim off the island and finish the heist, or you can head to Main Docks to fill your bag. If you chose the latter run North East into the jungle towards the guards tower, but far enough away so he can’t see you. On your way to Main Dock Pave El Rubio helli will show up on the map, wait for Pavels vocal cue when he tells you that Rubio is in his helli, and then activate your stickies, boom Rubio will retreat. Now you can make it to your objective in peace. You can loot at the Marijuana fields but you may have to take out three guard towers and a single camera, as well as two guards near the fields. I’ll leave this to your gut if you think you can make it to the warehouse without messing up please do so. If you want to head to North Dock and the Airstrip you either can swim there which will eat a lot of time or you can take the boat at the docks to get there faster. Trade off is that if you swim it will take up time, but if you take the boat you will have to clear out guards to safely remove the boat from the dock. If you are satisfied with anything you get then just clear the area with loot and swim or steal the boat. This is for the Airstrip if you do not plan on going here IGNORE this. The Airstrip is an easy place to navigate since a lot of the guards are far from each other so you can clear the airstrip easily. There are two loot spawns one at the hangar with one guard, and a warehouse with two separate guards. There's guard outside the hangar kill him, and go inside, if your loot is on the second floor, look for a forklift and pick up a box lift and it up then press the box against the back of the hangar below a blue tarp you can then climb the lift and the box to get access to the loot. The other airstrip loot spawn is an easy place to clear, one guard will be moving you can head shot him from the hangar, at the warehouse there’s a camera shoot it and inside the warehouse is a guard questioning his career choice, kill him. If you need to head to North Dock head there by bike or by foot, you can loot without killing any guard. After you're done just swim off the Island, or take the boat. Congrats, you have just completed the heist solo.
Note: I will be adding a second strat to clear the compound, the reason for this is because a Redditor provided the strat. I do not mind adding his strat, but I must remind everyone that you can tackle the heist in any way you feel comfortable with.
I missed that gate keys, so I killed more than I should have.
Solo Run Second Strat:
Essentially, it is the same as the other one, except for going left you go right. Your first target are the two guards at the pool. They should be to the right of you, find a good angle and head shot the first one, wait for the second guard to finish flinching and kill him. The juggernaut should be making his way towards you, wait for him to exit the camera’s view and kill him. If the gate key drops pick it up and kill the guard in front of the pool he should be past the camera. Take out the camera and wait for the moving red cone guard to turn his direction North, once he turns around go up the stairs and kill him. Move towards the second red cone guard his back should be facing you, hit him and ascend the stairs. The last guard on top should be moving. You can either wait behind the corner and hit him or speed around the corner to head shot him, it’s up to you. Loot the office safe and make your way to the basement. Finally, use the gate keys to open the basement, hack and grab the primary target. Afterwards head up towards the main gate, a new guard will spawn, you can wait for the moving guard to move out of range, and kill the stationary guard. From there you can run to the gate and exit the compound.
I had brain fart at the hacking lmao
Heist Tips
  • You can swim off the island from any direction
  • You can steal boats for faster escape but that's up you
  • You can sticky El Rubio’s helli for to get him to retreat
  • In the compound you can jump ledges after clearing the enemies
  • For double guards, get a good angle after you head shot one guy the other will flinch, you can get the shot slightly after, or you can risk shooting him until he’s dead.
  • Guards do not react to dead bodies, in day time their visibility is the same as night, an Isolated guard can’t alert if everyone is dead. You can run, guards will only react if you're close, if you miss a shot and it gets near a guard or makes noise this will alert.
  • You can jump into the ocean to die quickly if you alert inside the compound
  • If you find a key you can open the desk to get a golden gun
  • If your underwater and a patrol boats cone is on you, they can’t see you
  • Cones can be obstructed by objects
  • ? Civilians may be able to alert guard?
  • Solo is more profitable than playing with friends due to not sharing a cut
  • If you don’t have to kill don’t, less interaction is good
  • Being stealthy is the best way, if you alert restart
  • You can aim in and hold the sprint button to walk faster
  • To activate hard mode, you have to start the heist when it becomes available
  • Try to avoid killing guards near the camera cones, the reason being is because this can alert the guards if the camera sees the dead body. Ironically, guards do not alert they seem one.
Game Over>
That's it ladies and gentleman, I hope this guide has helped anyone. I’m aware I’ve definitely went too in depth in this guide but I enjoy making it, Happy Grinding -Leaus

A pretty good Strat for the new heist

So I've managed to develop a pretty decent solo strat for the heist.
Today I managed to complete 2 heists. The first one I did with three of my friends and it was an excruciating chore. We kept getting spotted in the first few sections of the map and we had to restart about 15 times before just three of us made it out with just 2 million (to be shared among 4 people mind you). All in all pretty bad, would not recommend.

But I didn't give up after that and tried a second heist, this time solo.
To give you a quick rundown of what I would recommend to do:
-In the recon mission you have to do in prep for every heist i discovered a drainage tunnel in the bay where the mansion is located. Just jump into the water and swim to said bay and dive down to the tunnel and it will be automatically set as a possible infiltration point. This may take a while but you only have to do it once. After that it will be permanently available.
-You only have to do one vehicle prep mission, I highly recommend the submarine one as it's relatively simply and does not have a second mission to get a pilot (which is the case for the bomber and helicopter prep mission)
-Same goes for the weapons prep mission. Just do one of them and I highly recommend choosing a loadout with an assault rifle. Also buy the silencers for 5k.
-Do all the equipment and sabotage prep missions (You may skip the explosive charge one). With all the sabotage missions completed the guards will have no armor and will only have weak pistols and mps. Also no Buzzards will spawn.
-To save time on the prep missions use the fast travel function on the submarine to get as close as you need and then use the sparrow to fly to the location. Each fast travel costs 2k. (For some reason before you complete the heist the first time each fast travel costs 10k, don't ask me why)
-Then you play the heist itself. If you select the drainage tunnel as the entry point, you will effectively spawn in the mansion right from the get go, which saves a lot, and i mean a lot, of time.
-Use the silenced assault rifle for easy stealth kills. It's easy to take out two guards standing together in quick succession that way. Also guards and cameras don't seem to care if they spot a dead body. (sometimes GTA's horrible stealth system works in your favor lol) The only danger is the Juggernaut NPC, but you can easily just go around him.
-Collect the main loot (ie Madrazos files or later a big pink diamont or ruby necklace) which is worth between 1 and 1.3 million and just rush out of the mansion. Ignore everything else and make your run for the airstrip. It's easy to just avoid guards and the Valkyrie which spawns after you leave the mansion. The only problem are snipertowers, but you can take them out with a well placed shot even from far away.
-Collect some easy extra loot (cash, weed) at the airstrip until you can't carry anymore. Then swim/fly back to the submarine and you're done.
In the end you will earn between 1.3 and 1.7 million. As you don't have a crew like in the casino heist, basically all of that money is yours.
I highly recommend this strat. I only had to restart twice, mostly because I wasn't yet familiar with the enemies locations and routes. In my third attempt i rushed trough and did the finale in just about 25 minutes. Unlike my first heist this one was actually rather thrilling and dare I say fun.
If you're quick you can complete 2 - 3 heists a day, leaving you with at least 4 million (in case of 3 heists), which I would say is pretty decent. You can atleast make the money you paid for the sub back very quickly.
Also the first time you do this you will get an additional 300K (100K for doing this heist solo + 200K for doing the heist without being spotted)
tl;dr: I think this or a more finetuned version of this will become the meta

Edit: I have created a 20 minute Video to explain a more improved version of this strat in more detail. I would like to see some feedback from you.

Cayo Perico Heist Update Review

So it’s been a few days since the update dropped so I think it’s been a good enough to let the update’s content sit and allow us to play around with everything.
To address the elephant in the room, let’s talk about the island: it is very, very, VERY underwhelming. I already made a post explaining the problems with the island, so I’ll just keep it brief: it’s all run down industrial drug manufacturing and no resort town area thingy for the tourists at the party. It’s quite unrealistic thinking about the people there and where they’re going to stay. If they wanted to make the infrastructure of the island undeveloped, then make it be like Cuba, where it’s all old timey buildings with classic cars on the unpaved roads. It’s all off-road areas, which TBH are pretty cool if you wanted some off-road/rally cars to try out BUT OH WAIT YOU CAN’T BECAUSE THE ISLAND ISN’T ACCESSIBLE IN FREEMODE. I don’t know what Rockstar was thinking when they said “an entirely new location.” When you say it like that, of course people are gonna expect it to be in freeroam so they can have fun with their friends and hang out in their cars and whatnot, and no having tiny portion of the island where you can just do what you do in your nightclub and the Music Locker, and that is to just dance and drink and entertain yourself for 5 minutes. If you try to leave the island, the guards stop you and your character automatically walks back toward the party. You can’t even sneak or swim around the guards you are just stuck at the party until you decide to go back to Los Santos. From what some people say, it’s because of the limited hardware, and that the entire island is free to explore in freeroam on the XSX/S and PS5, but very few of us have those consoles, and those who do say that claim is false. It’s just either the game is old or that Rockstar just wanted to be dicks to us, and if they did know we were expecting a map expansion, then I’d like to believe the. They really did do us dirty like that.
The very first prep/scout might be the worst mission in the entire game. All you do is take pictures of stuff you need for the heist, which is fine, except the stuff spawns in random locations and if you wanna fully complete the prep missions and get your crew completely equipped you have to find 4 of the stuff, like the bolt cutters and grapples. I like the idea of posing as a DJ’s entourage then sneaking out scope out the island. It’s cool, except for the fact the mission is goddamn awful. It’s a mandatory stealth mission, which doesn’t sound that bad, then you remember stealth in GTA is just so, so bad. “So what if it’s a stealth mission, just quietly take out everyone in your way.” That’s the problem: you can’t eliminate anyone in this prep mission, not even punch or judo chop or whatever on the guards. As soon as you get too close to any of the guards, you are spotted and instead of dying and respawning, you’re dragged back to the party (or airport, if you’re doing the prep after the first play through) and have to sneak your way back all over again. It gets pretty frustrating after awhile. To make it worse, if you’re spotted too much, you are thrown off of the island and wash up on the shores of Vespucci Beach, which doesn’t make sense geographically, since Cayo Perico is confirmed to be in the Caribbean and LS is next to the Pacific Ocean. After getting thrown off the island, you have to go back to the Kosatka, restart the prep, and do the mission all over again.
The other prep missions are somewhat of a step up from the Casino Heist preps. For one, there aren’t any missions where you have go back twice for any of the equipment; it’s a one and done deal. The missions utilize different interiors from previous updates, like the CEO office, Import/Export garage, etc. and I find that somewhat cool. The missions themselves aren’t that hard, so they should be able to be breezed through.
The heist itself was in many ways a step up from the Casino Heist, in a way. All the different kinds of approaches, entries, methods, setups, etc. made the heist very unique with different levels of replay ability. As annoying as the guards on the island are, it’s good that they spawn randomly, as to encourage more challenge and thought as to how to approach the heist, unlike the Casino where they all have fixed locations, and after a few play through you figure out the formula and breeze through it like no problem. The guards are still ridiculously hard to all kill, even with all the prep missions to weaken them done. They still have aimbot, not surprised there. There’s a juggernaut in El Rubio’s mansion, but it’s not that bad, since there’s only one that spawns, and you can just use explosives. It is a heist that encourages stealth, and is very unforgiving to those who fuck it up. The enemies are fairly weak if you do the preps, but they just swarm you everywhere, especially in El Rubio’s mansion where they flank you at all corners, and if you’re not careful, you can go through all your snacks and armors quickly.
The amount of content released day one is very underwhelming, and the drip feed line up lowkey sucks. Half of the cars showed off in the trailers and promos were actually released on launch but the rest are to be released weekly over the next few months. I get it, Rockstar wanted to artificially extend the lifespan of this update, but did they really have to make us wait weeks for vehicles we can drive around during the heist? If they wanted to drip feed some vehicles from the heist itself, make it like the Manchez scout or that ATV cause no one cares about those vehicles, well, at least I don’t. Leaving out less vehicles from the heist to be released as drip feed would leave room for some more original cars to be added or different versions of cars that need updating, like the ARENA ZR380 PLEASE JUST GIVE US A CLEAN JDM VERION OF THAT CAR. The line up of original non heist cars is actually quite solid, still fitting the theme of the update. Cayo Perico gives off some Cuban vibes, minus the whole communism thing, so it would make sense some of the cars added would be classic cars from the 50s-60s, like the Fiat 500 (Brioso 300), BF Weevil (finally, they added a better version of the Injection), and Slamtruck (if that thing doesn’t allow us to put cars on it I’m gonna get very mad).
The new clothes and outfits are nothing amazing, but there was a change I appreciate so much, and that is we can finally put body armor on other tops like hoodies, service shirts, other utility tops. Finally will I no longer have to use the merge glitch. The new armored vests tho kinda suck, since they’re just designer and don’t exactly fit anything. The new button down tropical shirts do look cool, I just wish we could unbutton them to give more of a casual tourist vibe. I just appreciate we have more ability than variety.
The weapons were ok. The military rifle looks way too similar to the bullpip and advanced rifle, so it’s nothing really special. The Perico Pistol was a cool unlock for a random event that has a somewhat painful chance to get by finding a body in LS and searching it for a key, but the gun itself is just a golden marksman pistol, needing to be reloaded after every shot. I have yet to find the combat shotgun in the heist, but I imagine it’s just a cooler looking version of the pump shotgun.
The music in this update was very meh. Didn’t like the songs on Kult FM too much, maybe because I’m not into rock that much and kinda used to listening to pop songs and some Broadway musicals here and there. Couldn’t really judge Still Slippin since I need to be in a specific area of the map to listen to it, I haven’t been around Mirror Park in awhile, so I just went back to putting the music on mute and turning on blast LMP on Spotify (Owl House fans you know what I mean). It doesn’t really help that Rockstar is drip feeding radios and music too, since Still Slippin won’t be broadcasted to the entire map until a few more weeks. Maybe when it’s finally released for the entire map then I’ll take a listen. That one Moodymann song they played for the trailer goes hard and I’m sure his other works go hard too; too bad no one goes to the Music Locker, which is literally a stripped down version of our nightclubs under the casino. Come to think of it, music and nightclubs are a major part of this update, making me think Rockstar just wanted to do an After Hours Pt. 2.
Overall, the Cayo Perico was had the potential to be one of the best updates the game has ever seen: a map expansion for us to explore, but we were given a heist with ruthless AI and mediocre to subpar content to make up for it. As it stands, it might be one of my least favorite updates, not living up to the community’s expectations whilst being quite content dry.

My Cayo Perico Heist Experience(SOLO and STEALTH)

Scoping completion
POI (2 of 6):
-Just got the airstrip and power station checked. boltcutters are really hard to spot. Supply truck didnt spawn near the airstrip. Since I plan on doing the heist solo, i didnt bother finding 4 each of the cutters, clothes and hooks (in the end it didnt matter).
-Infiltration and exfiltration points all checked out.
-overall, scoping and running around the entire island is so tedious and eats up a lot into your play/game time. Not a fan of this.
PREPS: Entry vehicle: Submarine
Weapons: Marksman
Equipment and disruption: All complete
-Overall, the preps are easy. yes it involves lots of travel but with an upgraded sparrow, completing it is not a problem. Only problem you might encounter are those trigger-happy-MK2-users which spams missile when they hear the missile lock sound.
HEIST:
Entry: Drainage (thats why the cutters, hooks and clothes didnt matter)
Exit: North Dock
Total take: 1.58 Mil
-As mentioned, did it stealth (got myself killed when detected then restart). took a lot of time inside the compound as I tend to study the routes and tendencies of NPCs. I exited the compound with only the files and nothing on the bag. On my way to exfil using a motorcycle, I accidentally fell off a cliff (eastern part of the island) and it helped me big time escaping El Rubio's chopper. Just hugging the shore got me passed the checkpoint/gate. Did this all the way to the airstrip. I fill my bag with loots from the warehouse (1 with big red gate) in the airstrip (3 loot points there) then swam to the sub, undetected.
Takeaways/Tips:
-some loot points in the compound are inaccessible solo as there are 2 card system doors (like the one in casino basement)
-fingerprint hack is not hard but can be confusing. Tip, you cant select a section if it is open/shown in other sections
-when you exit the compound undetected, like what lester said in casino, they know youre there but they dont know you. This is when el rubio's chopper comes out.
-Other NPCs on the island, if it does not have a red dot or a cone of vision, will not alert/detect you. Point a gun at them, they will scurry but will not alert the guards.
-Way to go Trevor.. 😀
Hope this helps or at least gave you an idea of what to expect. I'll try different combinations of vehicles, entry and exits. hope you can join me.

Casino heist preparation missions fix / workaround ?

Is there any way to complete casino heist preps? Most of them gets bugged at delivery either yellow circle doesn't do anything or my character loads inside Arcade then is immediately kicked outside and dropped items are lying around where would be yellow circle.
Drone parts - i get loaded inside, immediately kicked out, dropping random n. Of drone parts around yellow circle. Van with Weapons - yellow circle doesn't register delivery.
I can do prep mission with delivery for two people. e.g. That one where you can't bring both laser solo at once.
Not working solution:
1) Getting wanted doesn't work. It actually deleted the cops from my sessions. After loosing wanted levels I'm unable to find single cop around the city. ???
2) changing lobby
3) restarting game
Edit: I noticed that bunker resupply does not work either but used to work normally.

A complete guide to making an easy 2-3 million every few hours by grinding the Casino Heist

–This is a guide mostly for new players. I'm sure anyone whose been playing this game for a few years knows all this–
I started playing GTA online roughly two months ago and I already have practically everything I wanted, just from grinding the casino heist over and over again.
It can get tedious, sure, but so can everything else in life. You just have to have a positive mindset and think of the reward at the end– all the jets, planes, cars, bikes, clothes etc...! PLUS I personally find the preps a lot more enjoyable than doing sell missions for the bunker or doing import/export over and over.
I'm doing this on mobile, so please excuse any formatting errors :)
Note– doing this with two people is always the most optimal way to make money. Give yourself a huge cut. You deserve it for doing all the preps.
•step one: buy an arcade in Las Santos. Don't buy the one in Paleto Bay because that long drive to the casino will drive you crazy if you do it enough.
•step two: do all your prep works/setups in an invite only session. Trust me, it makes life so much easier when you're not bring chased by an oppressor all the time.
•step three: you can shuffle the contents you get in the vault. –NOTE THAT YOU CAN ONLY DO THIS IF YOU HAVE ALREADY COMPLETED ALL THREE HEIST APPROACHES–. YOU DO NOT WANT CASH. Art is better than gold (in my opinion) purely because it's very easy to do with two people... meaning you can keep a much bigger cut for yourself. Gold is awesome, but I'll talk about that in a bit.
•step three (b): to shuffle the vault contents and try to get something other than cash; simply do the vault contents prep. When you go to the casino and access the security camera feed, find the camera which reveals what's inside the vault. If you get art or gold, perfect! If you get cash, identify the target and wait for Lester to stop talking. Back out of the camera and then call Lester. Cancel the heist BEFORE you leave the casino. Leave the casino and go to your arcade. You will then have to pay another 25,000 to setup the heist again. When you pay, you will notice that a target has already been identified and there's a chance that this target will be different to what you already had. It's random so you may have to do it again. If you get cash again, go outside, cancel the heist again, restart your system, setup the heist again and repeat the previous steps until you get a better target than cash :)
•step four: always choose either aggressive or the Gruppe Sechs approach. Silent and sneaky with randoms is a nightmare abs it's not worth the frustration. Only do silent and sneaky with friends or people with mics
•step five: in order to even unlock the Gruppe Sechs approach, you have to first do the scoping out prep. Go to the sewer tunnel entrance that's closest to the casino. Go down the tunnel and look to your right. You will see a large semi-circular shaped get made of steel poles. Take a picture of it and send it to Lester. This will unlock the group Sechs approach!
•step five (b): always pick the cheapest gunman, the cheapest car guy and the best hacker. The best hacker you can get is AVI and to unlock him, you have to destroy all the signal jammers around the city.
•step six: there are optional preps. Some you can always skip and some you should absolutely do. You should ALWAYS get the level 2 keycards because if not, you will have to deal with that awful hacking minigame involving circles. Save yourself the headache of dealing with it and always do that prep. There's no point in getting the masks for any approach.
•step six (b): If you are doing the aggressive approach, I would highly recommend doing the enhanced body armour prep, Duggan's shipments and the level 2 keycard prep. You can skip everything else that isn't mandatory. The enhanced body armour will make your life so much easier... trust me. Doing Duggan Shipments and getting all 10 will makes the guards extremely easy to kill and will give them weak weapons.
step six (c): for the Gruppe Sechs approach, I would recommend doing the level two keycards and getting the exit disguise. I personally recommend going for the firefighter outfits because they're easier to get OR if you have the time, you can collect 54 playing cards, unlock the high roller outfits and you can use those as an exit disguise instead. They'll be permanently unlocked, meaning you can skip the exit disguise in future if you have it. Those are really the only optional preps you need. Patrol routes might seem important, but it's not.
step seven: when you're finished in the vault, always exit through the staff entrance. This will leave you in a position with the least amount of noose and the best position to escape from and to get to your getaway vehicles.
step eight: get in any vehicle you can find. Doesn't have to be your getaway vehicles. Drive to the police station that's near the casino, climb to the roof and get in the helicopter. It's the fastest way to your destination and to lose the cops. To see a tutorial of how to do this, there a tonne of guides on YouTube :)
step nine: you're done! You just completed the heist. Now you have to wait about 5 to 10 minutes to receive a call or text from Lester, suggesting you to do the heist again. Now, just do all steps again and you can easily make 2-3 million in about three or four hours.
If I'm missing anything, please let me know :)

Casino heist inconsistencies...

A few weeks ago I suddenly had my casino heist reset to nothing. I'd been having extreme difficulty delivering the boring machine - multiple restarts when the game wouldn't recognize the delivery - and when the reset happened I assumed the whole thing was glitchy. I was annoyed, but whatever, because R*.
The other day it happened again - there were no problems during prep, but it all "suddenly" disappeared.
What I realized is that in both cases I had joined someone else's heist that was identical to mine (first time Aggressive w/ Art, second time TBC/G6 w/ Diamonds) *and* when the heist was done we got separated and I ended up back in my own arcade registered as my own CEO instead of in the hosts arcade.
I sent a ticket to R*, leaving out basically all the details. The person who answered the ticket immediately said "If you join another heist your progress will be reset." This is *basically* crap because I do this all the time, but it does seem like it *can* happen if just the right criteria is met. To me, this is inconsistent behavior and reeks of bad code.
To further my point, in *both* cases where my prep was reset, when I hit right d-pad to start a new heist, after paying the setup fee, the "Scope Vault Contents" was already done and I had a random target... the first time cash (instead of art) and the second time art (instead of diamonds).
Anyone have any thoughts on this? Similar or different experiences? Cures that don't require me to always complete my heist before helping someone else?

Diamond Casino Heist Infinite Loading After Leaving Casino

Just like the title says. We are a group of friends who likes to do casino heist a lot. But now we can not do more than one per day. Everyday, our second heist fails due to infinite loading screen after leaving the casino with money; cutscene does not starts, and even if we try to restart the game to do it again it doesn't solve anything until tomorrow but it happens again in the next heist.
We were fine before the latest content update. By the way a side question: I always cancel the heist before leaving the casino until I find gold inside the vault but it seems like you can not cancel it before doing the main prep works, are we stuck with cash now?
Edit: Platform is PC.

Hazardous Jerry can Bug: Removal

If you still have the hazardous jerry can either modder given or from casino heist prep(bug). Here's how to remove it.
What doesn't work:
●Changing sessions or restarting ●Ammo/weapon drop ●Buzzer beater (arena war) Apparently, buzzer beater doesn't work the same for anything in the throwable slot. But you can still try it.
What works: I've got 3 methods.
  1. Equip the hazardous can. Use it until it's empty and your character automatically drops it. Change anything in the style slot for it to save. Then join a friend.
  2. Equip it, kill your character. So that your character drops the can. Wait for your character to respawn. Then join a friend.
3.If you also have the normal jerry can, try dropping that too. Then follow method 1or 2. One of the 3 will work for you.
Hope it doesn't annoy you as much as it did for me.

Casino Heist Bugs (UPDATED EVERYDAY)

KEY:

Silent and Sneaky Aggressive Big Con All approaches

List of all annoying bugs

1: Guards will stop moving during the heist from the beginning. Not as obvious during Big Con and can maybe help you out during Aggressive, but is a massive problem when doing Silent and Sneaky without doing Duggan Shipments, which you don’t need. Highlight is the guy on the stairwell going down.
  1. A bug at the beginning where a player is stuck where the Arcade interior is placed, which is underground next to NOOSE Headquarters. You’re gonna have to either kill yourself with Tear Gas given in Bugstars Big Con or just start the heist all again. Happens when you’re On Call.
  2. Money cap at 3.6 million. If you get over 3.6, the money resets back down to what you would’ve got with 3.6 as your take.
  3. Player Camera gets locked in the Arcade interior similar to number 2, but your character is already starting the heist itself. You can move it around, but you can’t see what you’re doing. Can bug you so much that you can’t even leave the heist until Job Error appears on the top left side of your screen, happens when you’re On Call.
  4. The heist disconnects you or the other person, and then it displays on the other person’s screen that you left on purpose. Can really start friendship issues if you don’t clarify what happened. In addition this can also happen after heading out of the mantrap.
  5. NPCs aiming at you from the beginning of the heist. Can get you detected straight away.
  6. Spawns everyone by Pixel Pete’s instead of their own arcade. I don’t know if it spawns you at other arcades, so more info is needed.
  7. The mantrap can sometimes glitch to not open the moment you’re standing within distance of it triggering it to open.
  8. Get stuck on the cart.
  9. On the way out, going through the security room, you will find that killing the guy on the left isn’t enough to get out. He will get detected by the other dude looking the other way for some reason. Kill both instead.
  10. Once you’re on the stairs, if you’ve killed anyone in the basement, guards will spawn and they will see the people you’ve killed and you will be detected. A fix is to use the EMP and stay on the right side to avoid being detected by the guy looking out of the reception box thing, or just to not kill anyone by going left and waiting for the guard to pass.
  11. A Gruppe Sechs van comes out of the Security Tunnel flattening a guard, alerting the NOOSE guards. Can really mess you up.

List of all helpful bugs

  1. A bug where you’re given all your weapons when failing to get out of the mantrap and restarting from the checkpoint. More info is needed.
  2. Gold duplication glitch. Two ways of doing it, one where one person takes one bar from two carts, and another takes one bar from three. They wait for the counter to reach 73-81k then they start taking the gold. The other way is for one person to glitch the first cart, which cannot be taken again, the second cart, the third, the fourth and the fifth, and the second person to take right after. There used to be another way which got you more money overall, but was patched.
  3. Glitching through the daily vault using first person and aiming and ‘phasing’ through. I recommend only doing this with artwork both sides of the heist (before robbing and after) because cash is just not worth it, and I only recommend to do it with gold after robbing the vault; having an already increased take can mess up the duplication glitch.
  4. Getting Casino optional preps for free. Requires you to first pay for all optional preps (security pass, patrol routes, power drills, ‘insert approach-specific preps), then starting Duggan Shipments and quitting during the black screen before loading outside. When going back in, it should be done, with or without the Purchased tag over it.
  5. Glitching through mantrap doors. Need more info.
  6. Arcade and heist progress reset. It’s much more frequent with heists, where you do a random’s heist, then your own heist is reset. That’s fine, you can recover from that. However, you won’t recover all your arcade, and that means all your rewards are reset where you’ve done all three approaches for the heist. It resets you to a point where you have to start all over again, and no, you’re not recovering all those games you bought, only the Drone and MCT.
  7. The replay glitch (HOST ONLY) where Player 2 gets the full cut. The host quits the game when the map disappears at the end of the heist, and the other player gets the full take. I recommend only doing this with Big Con, as your take can fluctuate with the other two even if you know what you’re doing. Timed right, both players can keep the full take, according to u/Oppipoika. This can only be done on PC and on 30FPS.
  8. Big Con Tunnel POI can be accessed from ground. Smashing straight through Lost MC Clubhouse, and smashing through those blue fences at the end. Only recommend doing this if you have Videogeddon Arcade, because it’s much faster taking the recommended way then cutting through the grass instead of making the curve turn.
  9. Hybrid approach. Go with Bugstars, kill the guard outside the back of the entrance before entering the checkpoint. Should put you in an Armored Van and make you do Gruppe Sechs.

Check in everyday for new updates and also comment below for bugs I haven’t encountered yet.

Casino Heists

Casino Heists are an easy and consistent way of making money. The heist setups should take between 1 ½ and 2 ½ hours. The heist itself takes about 30 min, for the time invested you should make between 1 and 1.5 million per heist. Doing the heist setups and the heist is a great way to fill the time while your other businesses are producing sellable product.
The first thing you must have is an arcade property. If you can afford to, purchase a property in the city. The city location makes doing the heist preps and the heist itself easier. I recommend Videogeddon in the city. It is closest to casino, centralized for setups, and cheapest in city at $1,875,000.
There are 3 types of heist approaches: Big Con, Silent and Sneaky, and Aggressive. The big con approach has 4 different ways of doing it: Gruppe 6, Maintenance, Bugstars, and Yung Ancestor.
Each heist approach has its own unique setups as well as general setups shared amongst all heist approaches.
Before deciding on what approach you are going to use, you will have to scope out the vault contents to see what is inside the vault. Vaults contents can be Cash, Art, Gold, and Diamonds. Diamonds are only available during specific event weeks.
Following are the max amounts for each type of vault content: Cash- $2,115,000 (reg), $2,326,500 ((hard) Art- $2,350,000 (reg), $2,585,000 (hard) Gold- $2,585,000 (reg), $2,843,500 (hard) Diamonds- $3,290,000 (reg). $3,619,000 (hard)
Once you host and complete each of the 3 approaches the future heists can be set for the hard level and you will make the most money for each type of content (10% more than regular).
Generally, the first time you host each heist, the vault contents will be cash and cannot be changed. After completing all 3 approaches as host you will be able to call Lester and cancel any future heists that you do not like vault contents and\ re-scope out the vault for, hopefully, better contents. Make sure you have hosted all three types of heists. On the 4th and subsequent heists, after scoping out the vault and if you are not happy with the contents (you get cash again), call Lester prior to leaving the casino and cancel the heist (option on phone). Head back to your arcade and you will be able to start the heist again (to get another scope out). This will cost $25,000 every time you do it but it is usually worthwhile to try to get art or gold vault contents. \ When setting up the heists, I recommend the following: *use the cheapest gunman, * use the cheapest driver ( best vehicles are the sentinel classics) I also recommend getting bulletproof tires on both vehicles for the heist, and * use the best hacker. You should have completed all the collectibles, which means you have blown up all the signal jammers. Avi Schwartzman will be available as a hacker for the heist. He is the best hacker to use for the heist. To get bulletproof tires- once you have collected both vehicles for the heist, they are now in your arcade, get in the vehicles and press right on Dpad to upgrade vehicles. Choose the bullet proof tires, the other upgrades are unnecessary
When running the heist, always take high level buyer, to get the most money from the heist. There is a cash room, in the casino, where the daily cash used by the casino is held. You can get anywhere from $20,000 to $100,000 from this room. When running the aggressive heist you will be able to take the cash from this room, also when running silent and sneaky you should be able to take the cash from this room twice (on the way in and out).
There is also the elite challenge- this is available for all 3 approaches but is easiest to get with the big con and silent and sneaky approach. The elite challenge will earn all players in the heist and extra $50,000 in normal mode and $100,000 in hard mode for hitting certain benchmarks. *Big Con- no restart, finish in under 15 min, no deaths, no alarm activated *Silent and Sneaky- no restart, finish in under 15 min, no deaths, no alarm activation, no hacks failed *Aggressive- no restart, no deaths, finish in under 15 min, 80 headshots Linked in this post are some youtube videos that will show you the basics of how to get the setups done and how to complete the heists themselves.
Your crew members are very knowledgeable about the game and heists, ask in the discord for help whenever it is needed to complete the heists.

Looking for people to play heists with

TL;DR this is NOT a Mastermind/Elite Challenge endeavor, level doesn't matter, looking for people also new to heists, no rage, no flaming, no drama, NOT focused on money
I'm hoping to finally play the original heists, i.e. Prison Break, Humane Labs, Series-A, Pacific Standard and also Doomsday (completed all preps and one setup for Act I). But from my experience in the community I've never even attempted to play these heists that require 4 people with randoms. I play this game for entertainment not for extra drama from people getting too involved emotionally. It's a game and I want to play the heists because they are there to be played and not to make money or to become an expert at them and learn when at what location what NPC spawns. I have found ways to make money that work for me and feel comfortable with where I'm at and what's at my disposal.
I'm looking for 3 like minded people who also haven't done the heists themselves, don't have anger issues that they try to relieve through this game, don't mod and are focused enough to not fall asleep or get bored because they have to drive for 5min to a location and rather quit the mission. And I'm just going to mention it so there are no surprises: English language skills are a requirement but that doesn't mean you have to be a native speaker.
Maybe I should explain "haven't done the heists themselves": It's really simple - I want to play and experience the heists through my own eyes and not run somewhere because somebody has system of how to get this done the fastest, most efficient way possible. I want to experience that for myself, failures are part of it and that's ok. So while I appreciate somebody who wants to help out in the end I can watch a heist guide online and get the gist of what to expect - I still have to do it myself either way.
Heist Finale Cuts will be equal shares for everybody; as I said, if you're purely looking to make money I suggest you look somewhere else since any of these heists are not known to pay out handsomely compared to e.g. Casino Heist. Preferably would like to do the setups and finales with the same people. I'm in Pacific Time and as and adult I have a life and can only play during the evenings on weekdays. Weekends I'm fairly flexible. Mics are probably good to have for coordinating four people. But again: this is NOT an attempt to complete the Mastermind/Elite Challenges - if we want to we can try but my primary focus is to just play the heists and enjoy it and not add artificial pressure.
About me: I'm a level 300+, got there mostly by grinding, finishing all missions I could play as a single person including the yacht missions, completed the Casino missions, tried most of the game modes that exist, done the Casino Heist a couple of times (all approaches), finished Fleeca and am now looking at other things that I haven't played (aside from PvP in freemode which isn't really my idea of fun). Since I played most missions by myself my approach tends to be more on the cautious side, i.e. snipe as many attackers as I can before going in. Sometimes that's not possible and I feel like I can hold up pretty well but I'm by far no expert and deaths are part of the game. Then you restart and do it better next time.
I'm happy to join you on your heist in exchange as well. Or if I can help you out in other ways I'm happy to do so.

Diamond Casino Heist grinding guide

I haven't seen a good comprehensive guide for this, despite it being the best money making method in the game, so I thought I'd write a guide about it.

What is the Casino Heist and why should I do it?

The Casino Heist is semi-challenging PvE content for 2-4 players. As of August 2020 it's the best paying grind in the game, paying out $1.5-$2 million split between heist members every hour and a half. If you're doing setups with one friend, you're both effectively earning ~$80k per setup mission.
If you have no friends who play GTA:O, try to find a buddy in game or on HeistTeams
It's possible to get even higher payouts, but discussing glitches is against the rules of this subreddit; go to gtaglitches for that stuff.

Getting Started

To do the Casino Heist you need an Arcade, preferably Eight-Bit (Vinewood) or Videogeddon (La Mesa) as they're the closest to the Casino and setup missions.
Not required, but strongly recommended as they'll make setup missions much easier:

Scoping and Vault Contents

All Points of Interest
All Access Points
Cash has the worst payout (up to $2.1 mil). You will always get cash the first time you host the Casino Heist.
Art has middling payout (up to $2.3 mil) but is very fast to steal, which means you can get detected, or hit the vault with fewer players, and still get the maximum take.
Gold is like cash but gives much better payout (up to $2.6 mil), with the disadvantage of making you run slightly slower when you leave the vault.
Diamonds only appear during special events, but have the highest payout for vault contents (up to $3.6 mil).

Choosing Approaches

The Big Con is the best approach, since the security tunnel entrance + Gruppe Sechs disguise takes you straight to the vault. Always choose it when possible.
Silent & Sneaky is like The Big Con, but is more difficult and takes longer.
Aggressive is relatively fast, but gives less time in the vault, making it much harder to get the maximum take for any target except Art.
In general, you should choose Aggressive for Art, The Big Con for other targets, and Silent & Sneaky only as a last resort. You should also choose Hard mode whenever possible as it gives you a 25% higher take.

Support Crew

Your Hacker is the most important support crew member, as they determine how long you have in the vault, and therefore your maximum take. My go-to is Paige Harris, who you unlock by owning a Terrorbyte. Avi Schwartzman is equally good and can be unlocked by destroying all Signal Jammers. If you don't have either of them, Christian Feltz is a decent stopgap measure; just be aware you'll have a good chance of missing out on profits.
The Driver determines your getaway vehicles, and is largely irrelevant since most people ignore the getaway vehicles and jack a car or a helicopter for their escape. I always go with Karim Denz and source the Sentinel Classic. It's only worth getting a more expensive driver if you want to unlock a car's trade price.
The Gunman determines the weapons you'll be using in the run. Again, mostly irrelevant, since Karl Abolaji's weapon loadouts are good enough even for a Hard Aggressive approach. Only get a more expensive gunman if you're going Aggressive and aren't confident in your headshotting skills or those of your crew.

Optional Preps

I don't recommend paying to skip any of the preps, because it eats significantly into your profits, and unlike MC/bunker missions, you can't easily make back the cost by doing other missions in that time.
Mandatory for every approach. Remember to get level 2 security passes, not level 1. The mission is very easy and saves you from having to do lots of annoying hacking minigames during the final heist.
This is mandatory for Aggressive and Silent and Sneaky, as destroying at least 3 shipments will remove the bulletproof helmets from guards and allow them to be headshotted. Most people also do this for Big Con just to be safe. Having at least one other player in your organization, as well as a Buzzard or Oppressor Mk2, makes this mission very easy.
Unlocked after completing all Casino Penthouse missions, this is a once-off mission that reveals security cameras on the radar on all future casino heists. Do it when you unlock it.
Reveals guards on your radar. Not required, but useful on every approach, especially Silent & Sneaky. Do this if you have time.
This mission is relatively easy and the EMP saves a lot of headaches in a Silent & Sneaky run. Not required, but worth taking the time to do.
This unlocks the best entry route for the Aggressive approach where you tunnel straight to the vault. Not required (Staff Lobby is almost as fast) but it makes the approach to the vault very easy.
Don't bother with this mission, other than to play through it once or twice for fun. The money from the deposit boxes isn't worth your time.
These missions are annoying and the disguises aren't that helpful. Collecting all playing cards gives you a permanent exit disguise you can use; I recommend doing that instead and never having to worry about this prep.
This mission gives you night vision. Basically, it's only useful if you plan on using the EMP but don't know the casino floor layout. Do it the first time you do a Silent & Sneaky run; by the second time, you should be experienced enough that you don't need it.
This unlocks new outfits that reduce the damage you take during the heist finale. Personally, I hate this prep, because a) the mission is annoying, b) the finale is easy enough without it, and c) the armored outfits are ugly. Do it if you aren't confident in your shooting skills, or if you plan to do the heist with only two players.

Finale Screen

Buyer: Always choose the High Level buyer for the best payout. The only difference is that you have to drive or fly a few more miles after you lose the cops -- more than worth the extra percentage of the cut.
Decoy: This makes the helicopter getaway slightly easier on the Aggressive approach, or if you screw up either of the other two approaches. I don't think it's worth the extra cost, but it could be worth it if you find yourself constantly having trouble getting to the helicopter.
Clean Vehicle: Completely useless. Don't bother.

The Big Con

Entrance: Security Tunnel
Exit: Staff Lobby

Silent & Sneaky

Entrance: Staff Lobby
Exit: Staff Lobby

Aggressive

Entrance: Sewer or Staff Lobby
Exit: Staff Lobby

The Getaway

No matter which approach you take, you'll eventually end up outside the casino, on the main road, with a 5 star wanted level. There are two main strategies people use here.

Bugs

Bug: You're in a getaway vehicle far from any cops, but your wanted level won't go away. This happens because one of your heist teammates has high ping and the game is having trouble syncing your wanted levels.
Fix: Have everyone get out of the vehicle and wait until the bug goes away. If you're in a helicopter with no safe place to land, the offending teammate(s) may have to parachute out.
Bug: On Silent & Sneaky, guards take a few moments to spawn in after you disable the metal detector.
Fix: Don't go through the metal detector or shoot anyone until the guards finish spawning in.
Bug: The guards in the casino aren't moving, and the cameras have weird movement patterns or are facing towards walls.
Fix: Just keep going; this bug actually makes Silent & Sneaky / Big Con easier most of the time. If there's a frozen guard you can't get past, use the Nano Drone.
Bug: You're getting away from the casino undetected when the vision cones suddenly disappear from your radar. Despite this, the police aren't coming after you.
Fix: This is a visual glitch and you haven't actually been discovered. Just keep going.
Bug: Someone joins as a spectator, then leaves. You screw up the heist and have to restart. Then you fail the heist because "Your heist team quit."
Fix: Suck it up and reset.
Bug: You're suddenly busted because a body was found... even if you haven't killed anyone yet.
Fix: Suck it up and reset.
Bug: You're doing heist prep mission with a friend, and you can't pick up the equipment because "you can't steal heist prep while on a heist prep mission."
Fix: Suck it up and reset.
Bug: You collect a heist prep vehicle and drive to your arcade, but it doesn't trigger the end of the mission.
Fix: Suck it up and reset.

Hope someone out there finds this guide helpful. Comments and suggestions appreciated.

Stuck on casino heist

Me and my friend can't complete the casino heist. we always get one shot every time we try to make progress. we are playing the aggressive approach and i did every optional heist prep before the mission including the one that gives you better armour and the one where you have to shoot up 10 duggan supply routes. it feels like the armour isn't working because i keep getting one shot and i failed the duggan supply mission (i only shot 2 down) i can't restart the heist because it's my first time doing this approach and i can't redo any prep missions and playing the actually heist is impossible so what do i do?

Need a long-term/committed crew for casino heist grind

A little while back I had a good crew I did casino heists with, they've stopped playing on PS4 for a while and I need a new crew. Members needed: 2 to 3 players Casino heist: all 3 ways Back with my old crew we had this plan, all crew members would have their own arcade and have all setups done and ready to go. Then we'd all start doing our heists one after another, one host gets their heist done, they help in the other crew members heist. All crew members in this plan would get a 15% cut while the host gets the biggest percent possible. A successful heist could give the host a good 1mil or 1.2mil depending on the vault contents and the crew members receiving a good amount of money as well. Do all of this, rinse and repeat
However I will have some requirements for potential crew members 1. You must have your own arcade (location doesn't matter) 2. You must be experienced (having done a few casino heists yourself and preferably a high level too) 3. Communication is essential for this (preferably a headset/mic, English please) 4. Commitment to the grind (I'm not going to force this on you everytime you're active, but I don't want to have wait forever just to get another chain heist going again)
What happens if we fail? We restart and try again, I'm not asking for you to achieve the elite challenge every heist.
I still know many ways and strategies on all 3 approaches, whether it be exit strategies, getting around guards and so much more. And if you need practice I have a keypad practice if needed. This will not be easy but with a good crew and strategies we can make this work. This casino grind strategy has worked for me and my old crew a lot and we all made lots of money out of it, I'm hoping that I could give you that same experience too as my old crew. It may get boring but it's an effective way of getting money than most traditional ways like cargo missions or selling drugs.
Oh yeah it's recommended we do heist setups in invite only sessions (players will sometimes grief heist prep)
PSN: badcobra2003 And selected crew members will be put into a message group on psn.
U.S Pacific time zone recommended

Diamond Casino Heist Guide (Support Crew, Setups, Approaches)

I know the heist has been out for a while and some, if not most of you already know how to do the heist but I’ve decided to make this guide for anyone who’s new to the heist. If I missed anything feel free to comment.
Note: This will be tailored more towards people who have someone else to play with.
You can use HeistTeams to look for someone to do the heist with

Loot

For the Diamond Casino Heist there are 4 possible vault contents: Cash, Artwork, Gold & Diamonds. Diamonds are worth the most and Cash is worth the least.
Diamonds were originally put in the vault during the Valentine’s Day weekly event. They were taken out after that but are now currently possible to get at the time of this post.
Unfortunately what you get in the vault is random, however after you’ve hosted all 3 approaches you’re able to call Lester to cancel the heist.

Support Crew

Driver: Unless you’re looking to unlock a trade price, always pick the cheapest driver, Karim Denz (5%). Choose the Sentinel Classics. These cars are good enough and you can take them into the sewers after exiting the Casino to easily lose the cops. Alternatively you could drive them (or any car off the street) to the Helicopter that spawns on the roof of the police station, which is my preferred method of escape.
Gunman: Unless you’re doing the Aggressive Approach pick the cheapest gunman, Karl Abolaji (5%). In Big Con you shouldn’t be shooting anyone at all and in Silent the suppressed weapons you get with the Karl is good enough (when remaining undetected).
Hacker: The hacker determines how much time you get in the vault. The better the hacker, the more time you get. For this you’ll want to get Paige Harris (9%) who you can unlock by owning a Terrorbyte or Avi Schwartzman (10%) who you can unlock by destroying all 50 signal jammers.

The Big Con

By far the easiest approach.

Silent and Sneaky

You definitely don’t want to do this with randoms.
If you plan on quick restarting, then don’t bother doing this prep. If you plan on continuing (not reccomended) upon detection then do duggan.

Aggressive

DIAMOND CASINO HEIST LIMIT??

is 1 diamond casino heist all you can do per day??? because whenever i do a different approach after i complete for example silent and sneaky, i have to do all the heist preps again. which takes time, is it supposed to restart the preps when you try a different approach or am i doing something wrong?

Diamond Casino Heist Ultimate Guide

Diamond Casino Heist Ultimate Guide

Hello everybody!

The new Casino Heist has been out for over 2 weeks now and there is probably already plenty of guides about it on YT, but I've wanted to make my own guide for a while now and finally think that I have enough experience to make one. I have played the Casino Heist about 30 times now (lost count at 10) and played all the 3 different approaches with a friend, so anything I say about the finale in this guide will be doable with just 2 guys, unless I specifically say so.
Keep in mind this is not a completely flawless guide, I will keep improving and editing it whenever I learn something new. I hope this guide can help you fly through the Preps and have no problems doing the Finale.

1: The Basics
2: Vault contents
3: Approaches
4: Crew
5: General Prep Work
6: Approach specific prep
  1. Silent approach
  2. Big Con approach
  3. Aggressive approach
7: Silent Finale
8: Big Con Finale
9: Aggressive Finale
10: Tips and tricks

1: The Basics

  • First of all, do the Preps in a solo public lobby. Theres no reason not to do them in a solo public lobby since others can only affect your experience in a bad way, unlike selling MC stock where you will get a bonus for every player in the lobby. (Guide for making solo public lobbies here)
  • Of course you can do the prep missions with a friend, that way you can avoid having to go to a certain place twice in some prep missions, but it's not neccesary. If you and a friend both do your prep missions simultaneously, you will be able to do 2 Finales in 2 hours if you are experienced in doing the missions. If you don't have any friends to do the preps with, don't worry, they're all doable completely alone and shouldn't be a problem to a decent player.
  • Now for Arcade locations. Of course I have to talk about Pixel Pete's in Paleto Bay. If you plan on doing the Casino Heist multiple times for a good income of large amounts of money, invest the cash from your first couple of runs from Paleto Bay into a proper arcade. I own the Videogeddon arcade in La mesa (~1,8 million), which is the cheapest in LS, but imo the 8-bit arcade (~2,6 million) is the best since its basically on the same road as the Casino and its garage is way more accesible than the La Mesa one since over there you have to drive around to the back to get into the Garage (Always enter your arcade through the garage entrance, it saves a lot of time compared to going through the front door, into the management office and through the secret tunnel) Either way they are both viable choices, but you should forget about the other ones in LS.
  • Vehicle choice. Obviously the Oppressor Mk II is your best friend for most of the prep missions, but there are plenty other viable alternatives. The Buzzard can be spawned in directly in front of you via CEO vehicles (if you own one it's free, otherwise it costs 25k per spawn) The issue with the Buzzard is its armor. After taking a couple shots, and trust me, you will, your Buzzard will start to smoke and will then stop working within ~5 minutes. The Akula is another very viable choice, especially when looking at the fact that you will have to lose the cops a lot (the memes are true). It also has fast firing homing rockets (don't use the rocket barrage, it's useless for grinding purposes) which will also help (it has infinite (?) rockets so running out of them won't be an issue, unlike the Oppressor, which only has 20) The Hydra is another hidden gem for the prep missions, if you can fly it well that is. Keep in mind that when using bulky vehicles like Helicopters or jets, the La Mesa arcade will be even worse since you have to land on the road and walk around the back of the arcade, whilst with the oppressor you can just fly straight into the back alley.
  • Hard finales. After doing a certain approach, that approach will be locked for the next heist. After doing another heist with a different approach, the approach first used will become available again with a red skull signalizing it will be on hard. Choose your 2 favourite approaches (information about the approaches below) and do them back to back, as playing the heist on hard will of course result in the loot being worth more. Don't worry about the heist being to difficult on hard, the only differences for the 2 sneaky approaches is the amount of fingerprints during hacks and for the loud approach the improved armor will be more than enough to make the heisdt a cakewalk.
  • I recommend purchasing the keypad at the prep board and training your fingerprint hacking skills on there. Trust me, you'll want to be fast when it comes to hacking the keypads. I get the hacks done in about 15 seconds and that is usually fast enough to get all the loot I want.

2: Vault contents

Alright, now for the interesting part, the vault contents. You probably know by now that Cash is the worst option. The best option in terms of money is Gold, while artwork takes significantly less time to loot. If you plan on doing the heist as a 2-man team, aim for artwork, if you are more than 2, go for gold. Forget about Cash.
So how do you influence what loot the vault contains? When doing the scoping out the vault mission, you will be able to see what the vault contains. If it's what you want, then good for you, you may leave the casino and move on to selecting the approach and crew. If however the vault contains cash or whatever loot you don't want, you can "change" the vault contents like this:
  1. Leave the camera
  2. Call Lester WHILST STILL IN THE CASINO
  3. Cancel the Casino Heist
  4. Leave the Casino and go back to your arcade
  5. Pay another 25k to start the heist again
The vault content will already be revealed. If it however still contains the unwanted loot, leave your arcade, call Lester to cancel the heist again, re-enter your arcade, start the heist for 25k again. You will then have to do the vault content mission again and if it still isn't the wanted loot, you may repeat the tactic above.
Don't worry about the 25k that you'll pay each time you restart the heist, good compared to artwork is worth about 200k more so you will have plenty of chances before losing money.
The following describes a controversial glitch that may be used to gain more loot than you're meant to, if you don't want to do this glitch, then you don't have to, but some people will obviously want to do this.
For the glitch, you need the vault to contain Gold. I would usually write this in the finale section but this may influence your decision on what loot to pick so I see this as a more fitting place to write it.
When inside the vault, the gold will be stored on several carts across the vault.
  1. Go up to one and press E to start collecting the gold.
  2. Collect every bar but stop at the last one
  3. Press right click to stop the looting whilst there is still loot on the cart
  4. Wait 2-3 seconds infront of the cart
  5. Press E to start looting again
Voila, the cart will be full with gold again and you may now collect all the bars. This can only be done once for each cart, so after "filling up the cart" once you can collect all the loot off of it without losing anything. This way you can get up to ~3,7 million worth of gold. You will be able to collect more but the rest won't be added to your total, so you might aswell stop at that amount and leave the vault.

3: Different Approaches

1: Silent and sneaky
This approach involves you sneakily going into the casino with silenced weapons, sneaking your way to the vault and then getting out undetected again. I recommend playing this with people that are willing to communicate. I'm not saying you shouldn't pick this if you have to play with randoms, just make sure they are capable of cooperating before you start the heist.
The pros of this approach are that you will have ~3:25 minutes inside the vault and that you wont get shot (hopefully) so you wont lose any loot. This approach also lets you casually empty out the secondary vault opened via the security center (more about that in the finale section)
The obvious cons are that you need to have teammates capable of cooperating so they wont rush in, alert the guards and make you lose your sanity. The detection system is also very inconsistent and things that you might think wont alert the guards will turn out to do so, sometimes.
For this approach I recommend getting the artwork loot if you are just 2 players and gold (w/o glitch) if you are more than 2
The prep missions that may be skipped for this approach are:
  1. Power drills, since the lockboxes inside the vault don't pay that much and it takes time to drill them open that can be used to loot the main contents
2: Big Con
You enter the casino in disguise and get out in disguise, making you lose no loot from being shot like in the silent approach.
First of all, USE THE GRUPPE SECHS UNIFORMS. For the gruppe sechs uniforms to becaome available, you have to photograph the security tunnel of the casino (see image below) By using the gruppe sechs outfit, you can walk straight into the vault without needing to kill anyone.

Service tunnel location
This is in my opinion the best approach since you can easily stay undetected the whole time and it leaves very little chance of failure by stupidity and gives you the full 3:25 minutes inside the vault for looting.
Recommended loot is once again Artwork for 2 people, Gold for 3-4 people.
The prep missions that may be skipped are:
  1. Patrol Routes. You will only have to kill a maximum of 2 guards and they will be near enough to pop up on your radar anyway
  2. Duggan shipments. You will kill the 2 security guards with melee since your weapons don't have stabilizers and their armor doesn't save them from melee attacks.
  3. Power drills, again, since the effort of drilling the lockboxes is not worth it most of the time
3: Aggressive
The most barebones approach involves you shooting your way through the casino and blowing the vault open. This is the easiest approach to do with randoms and can even be done with level 10s who just got their first million.
I recommend photographing the sewer entrance to shorten the way that you have to fight your way through (see image below)

Sewer location
The recommended loot is always artwork since you won't have as mcuh time in the vualt, so the faster you get all the loot the better.
The prep missions that may be skipped for this approach are:
  1. Power drills, obviously since you have less time inside the vault.

4: Crew

Crew choice, seems like a hard decision, really isn't. You basically want to pick the cheapest crewmembers who give you the best hardware.
1: Gunman
Karl Abolaji. For every approach. This might seems like a stupid decision seeing as he only gives you a sawed-off shotgun or heavy revolver for the loud approach, but you will actually get an SMG aswell, which is very usuable for the loud approach. If you don't feel comfortable with just an SMG, Pick either Patrick McReary or Gustavo Mota. Packie will of course be very hard to unlock (Guide to unlocking Packie here) but he will give you a combat MG for only 8% of the cut, whilst Gustavo Mota will give you a Carbine OR Assault shotgun (with the SMG) for 9%
For Silent and Big Con, Karl will give you Micro-MPs, which are more than capable of doing their job, that being killing guards in the silent approach. For Big Con, you could actually play completely without weapons since you only need to melee 2 guards.
2: Driver
Probably the least important crewmember. Some people don't even use the getaway cars provided. So of course, pick Karim Denz. He will be able to source oyu the Sentinel Classic, which is a more than capable Car for getting to the needed places (more information about getaway in the finale section) for the smallest cut.
Of course you may choose other drivers if you want to unlock the trade price for any of the vehicles.
3: Hacker
The most important crewman. Really the only viable choice is Avi Schwartzman, who can be unlocked by destroying the 50 signal jammers spread around San Andreas (Guide for 50 jammers here) He will give you the most time in the vault (Paige is an "expert" hacker aswell but she will give you ~15 seconds less inside the vault) Don't even think about all the other hackers, the hacker is no place to cheap out.

Ideal crew layout

5: General Prep Work

Alright, in this section I'll go over all the prep missions and give some tips and hints on what to do and what not to do and what vehicles work best. First of all, don't buy any of these preps for 70k, they're all somewhat easy to do and shouldn't be a problem for a solo player.
1: Untraceable weapons
This mission is be annoying but also easy. There are lumtiple types of this mission, and whilst none of them are a true challenge, they can be annoying to do since you have to either fly/drive a slow vehicle or collect 2 crates.
  • Noose Vans: There will be 4 Noose vans around the map and you have to blow the back door off to check for the weapons. You cannot lock onto the vans with homing missiles, so you either have to have good aim or use stickybombs in a ground vehicle. After finding the right one, you have to take it back to your arcade, after losing a wanted level. The annoying thing is, you cannot call Lester to lose that wanted level and the Van is very slow, I recommend driving through a tunnel where the cops cannot go to lose them.
  • I/E crew: You have to fly to the shore and find A couple of guys exporting the weapons, just blow them up or murder them any way, get in the Tula and fly to Sandy Shores airfield. When taking off in the Tula, switch to VTOL mode and gain some forward speed and altitude before switching to normal flying.
  • Lost MC/Vagos: You have to go to the clubhouse of the Vagos or Lost, clear the hostiles, find the weapons inside the clubhouse and bring them to your arcade. You will probably die the first couple times you try this mission, but you'll get the hang of it eventually. If you get the Lost MC mission and you have an arcade in LS, I recommend just finding a new session if you're alone since flying to Paleto Bay twice can be very time consuming.

A weapons case inside the Lost MC clubhouse
2: Getaway cars
This mission is somewhat easy for all types, but of course it's much faster done with a friend since you will have to get 2 cars most of the time.
  • Police warehouse: You have to go to a vehicle warehouse of the police and get the 2 cars out of there, don't worry about the sounds of the engines when in the warehouse, the cops inside seem to be deaf. When driving outside, be careful not to alert the cops standing outside or you'll have to lose your wanted level first.
  • Valet: You go to a hotel, scare away some valets, dress up as one and wait for the cars to arrive. Nothing much can go wrong here. The only things you shouldn't do is shoot or knock out the valets and bump into somebody infront of the hotel. Just simply bring the cars to your arcade and you're done.
  • I/E crew: You have to take the cars off a crew who just imported them. Just go to the location, kill the goons and take the cars. Watch out however, the enemies have extremely good aim and even a single enemy can kill you in a couple of seconds. Just use your homing rockets (don't worry, the getaway cars can't be blown up) to kill them, get the cars and bring them to your arcade.
3: Hacking Device
Seems like a simple mission, and it is. There are only two types of this mission, and they are both somewhat easy.
  • FIB: Collect a security pass off an FIB agent by brutally slaughtering him and his fellows, go to the FIB office, find the briefcase with the hacking devise, get out, lose the cops and bring it to your arcade. When killing the FIB agent, an exploded vehicle may block the agent's corpse. Just get another car to push anything away. There is also a bug where the corpse will either always be considered as blocked or ont even appear, if that happens you have to find a new session and restart the mission.
  • Noose: The early part is pretty similar to the FIB type, you collect a keycard off of an agent, enter the Noose building and use your phone to find the hacking device. When you get out of the Noose building, the alarm will always automatically go off, just fly away with your OppressoAkula etc. and lose the cops before bringing the hack device to your arcade. You can also assassinate the agent silently when collecting the keycard by approaching him, waiting for him to go away from the other 2 agents and then bopping him in the head with a gun, but form my experience its faster to just blow him up since you'll most likely lose the cops on the way to the Noose building anyway.

The briefcase you're looking for
4: Vault Keycards
This one has 2 mission types. In one you just go to two guards who have the keycards, eliminate them silently by smacking them in the head with a weapon and then looting their keycards.
The other mission is a bit more complicated. It involves you getting a prison bus and entering the bolingbroke prison in that disguise tho then silently murder a guard there who has the keycards. You actually don't have to collect or even blow up the bus, you can fly straight to the prison, kill the guard and get the keycard. Keep in mind thatr you wil get 4 stars doing it this way and there are snipers on the 2 adjacent towers to where the keycard guard is, so you'll wnat to kill those first before looting the guard.
The recommended vehicle is the Oppressor Mk II just to get around faster, but the Akula is a very viable choice aswell to lose the cops more easily after flying to the prison.
5: Guard Patrols
Pretty straight-forward mission. You go to a Duggan security meeting, kill all the guards, find the correct car, photograph the plan and then get out.
This mission can be done stealthy, but it's basically impossible, you're better off juzst shooting them straight away.
The correct car will always be a Felon GT and there will always be 3 of them in the same positions, so you get the hang of where to go after doing it a couple of times.
Once again the Oppressor and Akula are your go-to vehicles for this mission, but DO NOT use the rockets to blow up the guards, the chance of accidentaly blowing up the car with the plans is not worth the risk, and I suggest you also dont use a Minigun since that can also bvlow up the car pretty quick.
6: Duggan Shipments
This is the most stressful prep. You need to destroy 10 of Duggans shipments in 10 minutes to weaken the guards inside the casino. The easiest way to do them is with any chopper with rockets (Akula, Hunter, Savage etc.) or the Oppressor Mk II (you may need to fly an optimal route so you have enough time to destroy all of them.
It is actually no neccesary to destroy all of them, for the silent approach destroying 2-4 is sufficient to make the guards not have helmets (you don't want to bodyshot them anyway, that might make them sound the alarm) but for the loud approach, it's best to destroy all 10 of them so that the guards only have Pistols and Micro SMGs.
If you fail to destroy all 10 in time, you can quickly leave the session before the time runs out and retry the mission.
7: Security Intel
This prep is unlocked after completing the 6 Casino missions unlocked by buying a Casino Penthouse. It can only be done once, so you won't have to replay it every heist.
The mission is simple, you go to a mall, meet Vincent, get the stolen car back for him (use a vehicle with drive-by weapons, helicopters and the Oppressor aren't good for this mission) and done, you can now see all the cameras inside the casino.
8: Power Drills
This mission also has 2 types, but the van one is much rarer. The common one involves going to a construction site and getting 2 power drills.
When you get to the cunstruction site, there will be a white icon on the map. Go there and equip the helmet (your character may remove the helmet shortly after equipping it but the disguise will still work) then just go and check the boxes for the power drills
YOU CAN CARRY BOTH DRILLS AT ONCE! That way you don't have to fly all the way to your arcade and back to collect the other drill.
The second type involves stealing a van with the drills inside and taking ti to your arcade. Simply use a vehicle with drive-by weapons (Once again no chopper or Oppressor), kill the driver AND passenger (he will get on the driver seat after the driver dies), collect the van and take it to your arcade.
9: Security Pass
First of all, ALWAYS get the level 2 security pass (the one showing a valet and croupier on the mission picture) The level 1 pass will only get you through the outside doors whilst the level 2 pass will open all doors except the level 3 ones inside the vault.
Once again, two types of this mission may occur. The first involves you stealing a hearse from a church parking lot. You will then have to lose a 2-star wanted level and drive to a hospital where you then have to find the corpse of a valet and get his security pass. When entering the hospital, your character may automatically have a weapon drawn, so pay attention to that before running through to the corpse.
The other type has you going to the party of a croupier, waiting until lester found the right guy and then take the security pass off him. When you get to the party, there will be a pavillon with people dancing, just go there and start dancing until lester has found the right guy. When you then search the croupier for the pass and it's not on him, just search for a small purple keycard (it can be somewhat hard to find but it will always be in the same locations) and collect it.
As for vehicles, anything goes. The Oppressor will probably get you where you want to go the fastest.

The pavillon that you can dance under

6: Approach Specific Preps

Silent approach:
1: Drones
You have to destroy 5 drones spread around LS and collect their parts. Pretty simple mission, use something with rockets (Oppressor will have better rockets than Helicopters) and blow up the drones. You can of course carry all 5 drone parts at once.
It can be tricky to lock on to the drones as you will also lock onto the cops if you have a wanted level, just swap from non-homing to homing rockets if you locked onto the wrong target.
2: Laser drills
This can be a difficult mission. You will either have to take the two drills off the military, which may be hard since they are very accurate and theres a lot of them, but you can use you Oppressor or Akula rockets without worrying about blowing up the drills, just be sure to stay far enough away, their aim is surprisingly good. Be careful when collecting the first laser drill, if the cops kill you your Oppressor may be impounded and you have to use a different one.
The second type will be to take the drills from a bunch of Cliffford soldiers (apparently they're still around) which is way harder than the military since the cliffford soldiers are EXTREMELY accurate and there will even be a juggernaut and snipers. I don't recommend using the Oppressor for this as you are very vulnerable when standing still, go with an Akula instead. Just kill all the soldiers, enter the warehouse, kill some more soldiers, take the drills and get to oyur arcade.
3: EMP
Another pretty easy and simple mission, you will have to collect a cargobob (with an extra long cable) from the airport, fly to the LS University and steal their EMP. Then just fly to the drop-off, lose a 3-star wanted level by evading the helicopters and drop off the EMP.
Some people skip this mission and the next one, but I use the EMP during the finale to casually do the last hard part so theres no risk of screwing anything up. If you are however coordinated enough to not need the EMP, then you may skip this and the next prep
4: Stealth Uniforms
I highly recommend paying for this mission, it can be very annoying and you get the 70k back from the finale anyway.
This mission involves you going to humane labs and assasinating guards silently (very similar to the infamous deliver EMP mission) and getting the uniforms from the garage where you would park the insurgent in the Humane Labs Heist. This mission can be done quickly if you have a buddy, if you don't, it's better to just skip it and pay the 70k (If you don't plan on using the EMP you don't need to do this mission anyway, it's only for the night-vision equipment)
Big Con approach:
For this one, I'll only talk about the group sechs uniforms, since this is the easiest method of doing the Casino Heist by far. If you want to use a different uniform to unlock it, go ahead, but do be warned that it will be significantly harder to fully stealth.
1: Group Sechs, part 1:
Simple mission, go to a mechanics repair shop, kill the mechanic after realizing the Stockade is locked, get the keys and drive away. You will get a wanted level, but you can call Lester to easily lose them.
2: Group Sechs, part 2:
A bit harder, but still pretty easy. This mission is similar to the Patrol routes mission, you have to go to a group sechs meeting, kill everyone (this can also be done stealthy, but its again almost impossible), photograph the license plate of the black stockade, send it to Lester and then get the equipment and bring it to your arcade. Again as with the Patrol routes mission, do not use explosives to kill the guards as you might accidentaly blow up the equipment. You can call Lester to get rid off your wanted level.
3: Vault drills
Yet another simple mission with two types
  • Fleeca: A crew of bankrobbers will be robbing a Fleeca-bank with the needed drills. Go there, kill em, get their drill, lose the cops, bring the drills to your arcade. Pretty simple, but you cant call Lester, so using an Oppressor or Akula is beneficial.
  • Heist crew: A bunch of heisting dudes are being arrested by the police. Go there, kill em, get their drills, lose the cops, bring the drills to oyur arcade. Pretty simple, but you can't call Lester, so using an Oppressor or Akula is beneficial....hm, I'm having quite the Déjà vu.
4: Escape Outfits (Noose)
I'm choosing Noose outfits because they look better (and I'm sure they are in some way better than the Firefighter uniforms, I just don't know how, you seem to get spotted in the Noose uniforms aswell)
Simple (yet somewhat difficult) mission. Go to the mission row police station, kill all the cops there, find the Noose equipment, loose the cops and bring them back to your arcade. You can't call Lester to lose the cops so an Akula would be helpful. When collecting the second uniforms doing it solo, you will once again get 4 stars, so be ready to evade the cops again. Also, when you die at the police station, the cops will most likely impound your vehicle, so a careful approach would be better.
Aggressive approach
1: Thermal explosives
Loud has some pretty annoying mission, this being the first one. Once again, there are 2 types of this mission
  • You have to go to some rednecks and get the explsovies off of them. Just kill them all (once again no need to worry about blowing anything importnat up) and collect the boxes. They have a pretty big pickup distance so collecting them in a Helicopter should be no problem
  • SecuroServ Warehouse: Go to a warehouse, kill some people outside, kill some people inside, find the explosives, bring them to your arcade, no cops, pretty easy.
2: Vault explosives
This may be the most annoying mission of the entire heist. You have to go to a crash site of a plane, dive to the wreck and collect the explsovies. If you own one, put on a diving suit BEFORE starting the mision, you can't access the outfits during the mission.
When arriving at the crash site, you can dive straight to the plane if you have a scuba suit equipped, that saves you the killing and you won't get shot at instantly. Otherwise you have to kill some goons and equip a scuba suit nearby marked on your radar. When you collect the explosives, 3 helicopters will spawn. When you get out of the water, kill the gunners inside the helicopters, not the pilots. The helicopters would respawn and by only killing the gunners they will just follow you without shooting you.
3: Improved armor
You'll probably want to buy this prep, since this mission can also be very annoying. Two types of this mission, both are very unpleasant.
  • Humane Labs: Go to the beach at humane labs, get into a scuba suit, dive through the cooling tunnel into the facility, find the armor and bring it to your arcade. This mission may not be that hard, but the long swim and indoor fighting stretch out the mission and it quickly becomes repetetive and boring. There will atleast be a buzzard when you get out of the facility.
  • Merryweather bunker: Enter a bunker, kill the merryweather goons, find the armor and bring it to the arcade. Simple mission on paper, but the enemies will probably kill you atleast once and the armor sometimes can be tricky to find, I once spent 15 minutes searching the armor.
4: Drill
Simple mission and only needed if you plan on entering the casino through the sewers. Just go collect a truck with the drill loaded onto it, drive it through the water channel and into the sewers.The time you save by going into the casino through the sewers is probably negated by the time it takes for this mission, but having a more relaxed finale is certainly worth doing one more short prep mission.

7: Silent Finale

Alright, it's finally time for the big moneys, the finale. For this approach, you'll want to go in through either the garbage disposal or personnel room and go out through the personnel room. ALWAYS choose the high end buyer, he will give you the most money.
The finale starts very simple, you drive to the casino and enter through the door you chose. Careful, there will be a camera that you need to zap using your stun gun. When inside, there will be metal detectors that you need to disable by shooting the current box with the stun gun. Sometimes there will be guards watching the metal detectors, in that case you need to take them out before you go through.
When taking out guards, it's better for player guy to kill 2 guards facing eachother, as internet issues may cause in the alarm being raised even if the guards are killed simultaneously. You have more than enough time between shooting the first guard and the second guard raising the alarm that it shouldn't be a problem, just make sure your teammates stay back and don't interfere with the player killing the guards.
After clearing the first area (see picture below), you enter the security room through one of four doors (most of the time 2 of them are locked, can be seen by a red display on the keypad instead of the blue diamond) and then wait for the guard in the hallway to move out of the cameras sightline (Do not worry about the glass at the security room, for some reason guards can't see through it. The y can however see through the glass of the doors) Then you follow him (watch out for the camera) and shoot him in the head. Feel free to then clear the secondary vault by one play opening it for another player to loot (theres another button to open the vault inside, the player pressing the button only has to let him in) and then USE THE STAIRS to get to the vault floor.
When going down the stairs, a guard will walk up the stairs, shoot him in the head, disable the camera in the stairway and make your way all the way down.

Getting to the stairs undetected
On the vault floor, go out of the stairway and take out the 2 guards to the left. Then set off your EMP (this will also obviously disable the cameras) by having the host open their phone and using the securoserv-hack. The lights will then go out and you can rush into the main lobby and take out the 4 guards there. You can ignore the last guard inside the security room, just go to the keypads, swipe both at once and enter the mantrap.

Getting to the mantrap undetected
When at the vault door, 2 guys get out their laser drills and start drilling. The drilling is very simple, you just keep the drill as hot as possible whilst not overheating it. When inside the vault, take as much loot as you can but make sure to leave the vault before the time runs out (I recommend stopping the looting with 20-25 seconds remaining to ensure you have enough time to get out).
When getting back into the vault lobby, there will be 2 guards walking past the stairway, you can ignore those, just use the stairs to go up again (and don't forget to disable the camera in the stairway)
When back in the main floor, follow the route shown in the picture below whilst taking out any guards in the way (2 will be in the security room, you can ignore those) and leave the casino through the personnel door. Don't worry about the metal detectors whilst going out, they dont seem to alert the guards.

Getting out of the Casino undetected
When outside, again follow the route shown on the picture below to get to the getaway cars (locations may vary with different drivers) and drive into the sewers. Then spend some time in the sewers by either waiting or driving to another exit (I personally like to drive to the exit right at the highway so that the drive to the buyer is as fast as possible) Make sure not to drive too close to the Casino, as that will get you 5 wanted stars. I recommend avoiding the freeway next to the casino, you may however use the road to the north-west of the freeway.

Escape route with getaway car locations in pink (when choosing the 5% driver)
Then just casually drive to the buyer after you've lost the cops and there you go, fat loot.

8: Big Con Finale

This is the easiest finale by far. Choose the group Sechs entry uniform, noose escape uniform, the personnel rooms as the exit and of course the high end buyer.
Take the Group Sechs truck to the Casino and through the service tunnel, wait until the guard lets you through, park it on the yellow marker and use the elevator or stairs to get to the vault floor.
On the vault floor, just run to the keypads for the mantrap. The guards don't care if you're running or even jumping, just don't bump into anybody and don't draw your weapons.
The just casually loot the vault and again, make sure to get out before the time runs out (stop looting with about 25 seconds left to have enough time to get out safely.
Then just walk through the mantrap and the vault lobby again but USE THE STAIRS to get to the main floor (the camera will not raise the alarm, don't worry about it). Make sure you are all past the camera before going to the main floor, as anyone who didn't go past the camera will get detected due to the guards being alerted and a wanted level appearing. When at the main floor, use the route in the picture below to get to the Noose outfits and switch into them to walk past the last few guards without any problem.

Getting out of the Casino with the Noose uniforms
When outside, follow the same route as in the silent approach to get to the getaway cars. Drive into the sewers, lose the cops in there and then again casually drive to the buyer whilst avoiding driving to close to the casino.

Getting to the getaway cars and into the sewers undetected

9: Aggresive Finale

There really isn't any major explanation needed for this approach, as you won't have to worry about getting detected.
If you chose to enter through the sewers, drive there, enter the tunnel that was dug with the giant drill and plant explosives at the wall to gain entrance to the vault floor directly.
Then just shoot your way to the mantrap keypads and have the others protect the people opening the mantrap if you are playing with 3 or 4 players.
When looting the vault, you won't have to worry about getting out in time, and the nerve agent does very little damage, so don't be scared to take longer than the timer says.
Whilst shooting your way out of the casino, you may use either the elevator or the stairs to get to the main floor. Going through the security room allows you to evade any guards that may be in the south corridor.
When you get out of the casino, you may follow the same route as in the undetected approaches or run directly to the getaway vehicles, although you will probably get shot more doing that and therefor loose more money.
Get to your cars, drive into the sewers and lose the cops. Then you're just one casual drive away from making another bunch of cash. I highly recommend getting bulletproof tires for your getaway cars on this approach, and whilst you are spending that 10k per car, why not go big and get the 15k upgrade that laos makes the cars go much faster.

10: Tips and tricks

So in this section (which I will probably expand with additional tips, feel free to leave some in the comments) I'll go over some of the things I didn't mention that may save some effort or time when doing this heist.
  • You can lose the cops by going into the back of your Terrorbyte if you aren't carrying any equipment (useful during the untraceable weapon mission with the Noose van)



That about covers it for this heist. This has unexpectedly been quite the project for me, it took me 3 days of writing here and there and getting screenshots, so leaving a smol updoot would be appreciated. If you have any questions, of course feel free to leave a comment, I'll try my best to read every single one of them :)
Happy heisting! (and may your sessions be free of griefers!)

Diamond Casino Heist - usefull information

-Exclaimer-
This post is based on my personal experience and what I think is important for the different approaches regarding the heist! Other players can have a diffenrent opinion so keep that in mind!
I have done the heist a couple of times and encountered numerous problems and obstacles I had to overcome in order to succeed. I have watched many videos for the different approaches so I could be as efficient as possible. I tried to find a post where all these things I had to look up were summed up, but unfortunately I couldn't find any (I mighty have overseen it, in this case I'm sorry that there is a post out there where all of this is already written down).
First things first. There are 3 different approaches for the diamond casino heist in order to get the job done:
  1. Aggressive
  2. Sneaky and Silent
  3. Big Con
1. The aggressive approach
This method is a bit more difficult. I would suggest to not to do it with, in total, 2 players as you only have 2:20 minutes in the vault if I remember correctly. Also you loose money everytime you get shot, which will happen sooner or late, especially if you are new to the heist and have never done it before.
What I find is the easiest way to do this method is using the Sewers as entrence as you end up directly at the room in front of the man trap. You just need to take out the guards and walk right into the vault. As you exit I would not use the front door. For me it is way easier to get out of the casino on the back side as you just need to get past the horse racing track and you are almost good to go.
As for inside the vault: It really depends with how many people you are doing the heist. But when I did it with 1 friends only I noticed that you should always pick everything up first and then proceed to place the termal charges to open the doors as you cant pick anything up while they are opening the door. Also I would, especially if you have gold as loot, always start at the very back of the vault and work my way to the front because you walk slower once you pick up some loot. So leaving the loot carts that are nearest to the vault entrance to pick them up after all the others is better.
In this approach you can stand a couple of senconds in the gas as the alarm is already set off. Keep that in mind.
I would also recommend to get the combat MP weapon set (I believe that it is the medium gun man that takes **7%**of the cut) as it just makes the mission easier overall.
2. The Sneaky and Silence approach
This is in my opinion the most fun, but in the beginning also the most challenging one. Only problem here is that it could become really difficult doing it with randoms and not with friends, as you do need to have very good coordination to get it done.
For me, the best way to do it is if you take the staff entrance as your entry and exit point. You do need good timing, thats why it can become difficult doing it with randoms as you just can't communicate that good with them.
So far, all the doors on the inside were security level 2, so when you are doing the prep mission get the security level 2 card, as you don't need to hack the doors inside the casino. This can cost a lot of time if you need to do the difficult hack to get the doors open.
The main objective is to stay hidden all the time. You do not want to set off the alarm!
Remember that you can only shoot one camera down, the other ones you have to take out with your stun gun. Also, I would never take out more than 2 cameras at the same time with you stun gun as Lester keeps reminding you that the alarm will go off if too many cameras are down at the same time.
For the guard in the staircase. During the first runs (we were in total 4 people/friends) we always set off the alarm when we killed the guy in the staircase. I then killed him while stealth walking (ctrl) and it worked. So I think that you need to be stealth walking in order to kill him and stay hidden. But I am not sure if its true.
Now for your time insde the vault. With Paige as hacker (expert level) you get 3:30 minutes vault time. I would always have at least 1, if not 2 guys hacking the doors. This is not so easy when you are doing the hack for the first time but you eventually get used to it. I did this method a couple of times with 1 friend and we were able to get alle the gold carts and some loot boxes with doing it this way (about 2,5 million). He hacked all the doors and I started taking the loot since the beginning. I am not sure how many times you can fail while doing the hack but I believe it is something about 2 times. Keep that in mind too.
What is good to know is that you need about 20 seconds to loot an entire gold cart. With cash it is a bit more. For artwork, this is by far the fastes loot you pick up. You take about 13 seconds with all the animations etc.
I would start looting the carts at the back side too, just like I said in the aggressive approach. This applies for all approaches. What is important is that you need to get out of the vault before the gas comes. I would recommend to leave the vault with at least 20 seconds left. If you want to be on the safe side take the 30 seconds mark. Also, you need exactly 8 seconds from the centre of the middle room to get out of the vault.
I always use the EMP after we leave the vault. It is really easy to get out if everything is dark and you can just run to your exit point. You do need to kill one guard at the very end before leaving the casino though.
Once you leave the casino on the back side, you can stealth walk (ctrl) over the horse racing track to your escape vehicles. I think that the best way to escape the police is to get into the sewer tunnel and just wait at the very end of it.
3. The Big Con
The easiest one is by far the Big Con. If you do it right you can get the heist done in about 15-20 Minutes (I did that playing with 1 friend only. So it was a 2 player heist finished in a bit more than 15 minutes).
The fastest and easiest way is to use the Gruppe-Sechs (group six) uniforms as your entry strat. You can straight up walk past the guards to the vault. And yes you can run you don't need to "walk". For your exit point you use the staff entrance/exit. I recommend to get the NOOSE outfits as well.
Just like the Sneaky approach you do want to leave the vault without being detected by the gas so you don't set off the alarm. Once you are in the staircase they find out what you did and start looking for you.
You need to take out 1 guard with a pistol whip. Afterwards you stealth walk into the changing room so you can disguise yourself as NOOSE guards. Once you are outside the casino you don't want to get caught walking away from it. So keep that in mind while you are getting away. Otherwise they will start shooting at you and you will loose money eveytime they hit you.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
General information
For the "assistants" that you need to choose for the heist I recommend always to take the best Hacker (either Paige or Ari. The difference is that Paige takes 1% less cut) as you get with them a total vault time of 3:30 minutes (not in the aggressive approach!). You unlock Paige with buying the Terrorbyte and for Ari you need to collect all the signal jammers.
For the escape vehiles I always go with the worst one (5% cut) because in my opinion it is good enough if you use the racing cars and not the minis (you can select which cars you want to use and once you see them you will know which ones I mean).
For the weapons: If you are doing the Sneaky and Big Con approach you can go with the bad weapons too (5% cut). They are enough as you, if properly done, don't really use them a lot. For the agressive heist I recommend to get the combat MP (I suppose that they are called like that).
The heist itself doesn't take that much time to accomplish. The prep mission are what takes time to do. I mostly do all of them in 90-120 minutes if I do them alone. With a friend you can easily do them in just over an hour or so.
Another thing regarding the prep missions that is important is the Duncan mission. You wan't to get at least 8 of the 10 targets destoryed as it impacts the heist quite a lot in my opinion. And you can't restart it if you mess up.
For the vault loot: you can reset the heist if you don't get the loot you want. The best loot if you do the heist with 2 players only is artwork as you can take everything. Afterwards comes gold and lastly cash. Cash just takes too much time to empty a cart. To reset the mission you just call Lester. You will loose the 25K heist set up cost though.
A bug that my friend and I found out is that while doing the Sneaky mission with 2 Players you get kicked out of the session while entering the man trap after looting the vault. I don't know if it will get fixed but you do need to restart the heist final from 0. I am not 100% sure if you will get kicked out every time when you restart.
TL:DR
I highlighted all the important stuff so you can just overfly the text without having to read all of it.

Cheating on GTA Online is OK... only in one case

WARNING Cheating is NEVER good, especially in Online games. I do not condone cheating, I condemn it. I've never cheated in any game I played. For me a Ban is just the tip of the iceberg of the "punishment" a cheater should face. There is only one time when I condone cheating. When cheating solves a problem the developer won't fix. This is one of those times.
Finding a cheater on a random public GTA Online session is pretty common, that's nothing new. Mostly, though, they would just do a "Money Drop" and not being harmful to people who doesn't want to join them in their cheating. Money is needed and GTAO's items have ridiculous prices let alone the Shark Cards. Glitching is another way of cheating. It can make you invincible; it can gives you more money without using "Mod Menus" and people are doing all of that. They're called Glitchers. But I'm not here to talk about them. I'm here to talk about another type of cheater, the ones I call "Ruiners".
On 01/22 I wrote a ticket to R* Support. That day I was starting the 4th Heist, Series A. Due to people suddenly leaving I have restarted Series A - Coke, the first prep mission something like 5 times. On the 6th time I unintentionally and unexpectedly had a cheater in the team, to which I will refer from now on as "Ruiner". How do I know? Well... You have to divide in teams in that prep and the characters' models were continuously behaving like an NPC who's nearly been shot. You could hear, in fact, infinite non-damaging explosions. It was like an infinite loop. I didn't give it enough attention and I started the prep, thinking about a rare bug occurring on that specific heist. Boy was I wrong. As you know, the heist takes place on a different session than the freeroam one. So it took just some seconds for the Ruiner to cheat every possible weapon he could on me, at least. I don't know if he gave weapon to the other two players in the team. I'm not sure if he could give them to everyone in the session with just a single option. He left and we were transported back in Freeroam. I waited for Ron's text, I teleported to my apartment and I restarted the prep. I had to wait 20 minutes to find another team and begin. I jumped on one of my teammate car and we went to take the boat. I wanted to be ready to attack, so I opened the Wheel and I discovered a lot of weapons I had yet to buy or that I wouldn't ever buy. That made me furious enough, so I finished the prep with me thinking the enemies were that player. After it's conclusion I closed and reopened the game, but the weapons were still there. Fortunately I spawn in my Bunker, where I have the Gun Locker, so I thought "Let's hide them" but... no. Apparently I can't hide nor drop the weapon the Ruiner gave me. I couldn't even hide the Combat Pistol I regularly bought and the Navy Revolver from the Los Sanos Killer. Seeing I couldn't fix the problem myself, I wrote that ticket, asking to remove those weapons due to them being forcefully given to me buy an unknown player using cheats. This is where everything starts.
On 01/23, R* answered on the ticket... They merged it with another one I made about a totally different problem I had while helping someone else on a Casino Heist prep. In that ticket, one of R* Support asked for a video of the problem I'm having. It's obvious for anyone that I don't have a video of the Ruiner's cheating, so I made a video showing I can't hide those weapons.
On 01/24, R* responded asking to clarify if I want them to remove the weapons or if I have problem with weapons, while I clearly stated in the previous messages that "I want to remove the weapon"
On 01/25, I received the first official answer "We can't delete in-game items". I then asked if they would be able to refund me for everything I bought so that I can "manually copy" the things in my character to a newly-created one, so that I wouldn't have problems with the cheated weapons.
On 01/26, I had to explain everything I asked from the beginning (while I begun thinking "Haven't they read the tickets") 'cause the answer I got was about the Casino Heist prep problem and not about the last comment I wrote. I supposed he's ignored it, since he hasn't talked about the weapons.
On 01/27, they asked again for a video I've already linked them. I responded repeating once again that I can't hide the weapons that the Ruiner gave me but that I have found a plausible solution. I had to look into it since I wasn't so sure about that possibility. As a Game Dev myself I've thought about one particular thing. If a cheat is able to give weapons, then there should be one that can remove them. It all hangs together nicely, doesn't it? Anyone might have thought about it. So I asked if they would give me permission to use a cheat to remove the weapons.
On 01/28, I decided to "rage quit" the ticket after this copy-pasted answer: "I understand your concern regarding weapons however we do not support cheat and we won't suggest using cheat to hide/remove the weapon. For compensation, if you delete the character, we will not be able to provide compensation."
Long story short, I'm stuck with weapons that a Ruiner forcefully gave me via cheating that I can't hide using a Locker due to them not being regularly purchased, weapons that R* don't want to remove nor refund me for. It's their fault. They ban players using money glitches or dropping money and they won't help people getting rid of the damage made by a Ruiner, nor they won't allow the user himself/herself to fix it. I just hope the cheat check is not able to recognize I haven't bought the weapon, otherwise I would be the banned one, even if I haven't done anything wrong in the game.
Cheating on GTA Online is OK... only when you give other players weapons they don't have. Thanks for your attention. Suggestion, advises and corrections are welcome.
