Cayo Perico - can I open keycard doors solo?

[Malidictus]

Quick simple question here - can I open the double keycard doors in the mansion when solo, or are those only for a team? Not making a judgement, just need to plan my actions is all.

Nope.

no you need two, but if you want full bag solo then get into the office, and take the painting if one spawned then head to the main docks and loot the warehouses for the remaining loot.

it takes some time until glitcher managed to get below the island map

people already manage to glitch some pegasus vehicles into the new map

Just for the record - I'm not looking for glitches or exploits. Just want to know how the mechanics are intended to work.

Yeah, I figured as much. Pity, but I sort-of understand. Despite being a solo heist, it still does have room for team play. And yeah, I recall that's what people were suggesting. I've been trying a "half-ass" approach to the heist, where I rush the recon focusing on just the mansion. Works in multiplayer, but I might need to put in some effort scoping out at least one of the docks in single player.

Thanks for the explanation, everyone.

No need to scope for secondaries, loot will spawn anyway, there is a very low chance that you won't be able to fill bag in main dock which is best escape. You just quickly check regular buildings during finale and that's it.

It doesn't seem to always spawn in all locations, though I have a sample size of only two iterations. Could well be wrong. Either way - it helps to scope out boltcutters, at least. I find the Cayo Perico heist pretty daunting in Loud as I don't like the equipment available to me (no LMGs), so I try to do it in Stealth if I can. Helps to know where things are in advance, in those cases.

Besides, I'm not trying to "farm" the heist. Don't really have a lot left I actually want to buy at this point, other than maybe a Toreador, so I can afford to take it a bit slower.

if you scoped out the drainage tunnel then just get the laser cutters which should just skip bolt cutters.

Funny thing is your character can actually reach both keypads, but that would just be to easy right?

Wait you dont have to check for the secondaries? This will save so much time

Yeah, I was wondering about that. Can the torch cut through boltcutter chains? You said "laser cutters" which I've not seen, but I assume you mean the cutting torch since that's the underwater grate tool. Thanks for the tip :)

Commented the same thing when I first saw it. "My character can reach both readers if she stretches her arms out a little. But yeah - it's a two-player lock, I get it. I'll get my solo loot elsewhere.

The only thing you HAVE to scope out on repeats is the main loot - same as with the casino. Everything else will spawn whether you scope it out or not, though some items tend to "move around." Bolt Cutters and the like won't always be in the same spot. Secondary Loot locations are always the same, but the loot inside them changes.

If you have an easy means of cutting the cages (which I'm told the cutting torch is), you can just go on memory and not bother casing the loot.

they aren't "laser cutters" but a cutting torch i kinda mixed them up with the plasma cutters, but the torch should break the chains just like the bolt cutters

Roger that, and thanks for the clarifications. This is really, REALLY good news. Thank you :)
