Is Cayo Perico heist bugged?

[Reanu Keeves]

I saw a couple of videos as well as playing the "tutorial" for the heist. But whenever I shoot a camera (without anyone looking), a few seconds later the alarm sounds, always... Same happens when I try to turn them off. How am I supposed to bypass them if I cannot shoot them or deactivate them. I see people doing it and alarm doesn't go off. What am I missing or is this just bugged?

Don't bother with that heist.
It's insanely annoying and you're not the only one having problems with it.

Yeah there seems to be a lot of people having issues with this heist.

Turn off the two switches at the power station to disable all cameras and lights outside the compound.

Besides that, the cameras can easily be avoided, especially when you enter through drainage pipe.

Been trying to do it just earlier again and alarm sounded every ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ time for no reason despite not walking into cams or guards. That's how trash it is.

Guards will be alerted by dead bodies.
You need to be careful were you take them out.

It seems they can easily see the guard on top of the office stairs, unless you take him out on the top corner with a solid wall and no fence.

At this point im done with this trash heist so i don't care. Should've ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stayed with special cargo instead.

"Guards will be alerted by dead bodies."
yes and no - i tried it with a friend and they just drove by dead bodies and didnt care.

I had a funny problem where rubios helicopter became invincible. me and my feiend emptied ALL our ammo into them but he didnt care and keep firing at us.
Every time i was aiming at the guys who sit at the minigun, my crosshair got greyed out like im aiming at an npc that im not supposed to shoot... thanks for the wasted time

[Reanu Keeves]

I fixed it. The microbombs used to enter fences alert guards regarless of there being 0 guards around. Once I got the blowtorch everything went smoothly, easiest money I've ever had in this game... 1.8m every 80 minutes, now even faster with the chopper and gear I've been able to buy with said money

There are multiple ways to deal with the cams.
easiest simply avoid the cone and move on, pavel told you if you destroy too many cams you will alert the guards

you could also use the guard disguise and cam will ignore you
or as already mentioned disable the power


yeah the heist has a few bugs, but it is still the easiest of all heists

it is a common problem of gta when 2 player shoot at the same target, some kind of latency issue, precise headshots should still work or use the sticky bomb at the parked valkyrie in the compound

It's not even worth the time to get the guard uniforms since they only give you a delay in recognition. You don't even need to scope any loot if you know where they are, all loots are preset after scoping regardless. All you need to do is destroy the cams at the compound checkpoint and the shacks, that's it.

So you choose grinding 8 hours to sell 111 crates for 1.6m versus a 1 - 2 hr heist prep + finale for the same amount? Not to mention that it's easy to destroy special cargo crates while it's almost impossible to do so for prep equipment

Are we talking about the Cayo heist? They've never once spotted a cold dead body, even after the "guard change" when they "close" the drainage tunnel.
They 100% will hear a falling dying body and falling cameras if they are in hearing range. But as long as you drop them clean out of hearing range of any other guards, no problem, ever.

we blew ALL of our ammo 2 or 3 times. trying to kill the gunnes who didnt take dmg. the pilot didnt take dmg and the heli itself didnt take any dmg.
We tried destroying it when its parked on the ground. It was indestructable. We also blew 100% of our ammo and explosives on it while trying. eventualy we canceled it, since it made the escape impossible cause sooner or later the hit enough bullets. i hope next try will be bug free =(

The stealth in Cayo is indeed sorta jank if you do it along with player. If you play it alone, the stealth actually works as intended most of time.
