Easiest setup for me and I hope others for the Cayo perico heist

[SophieSkyrim1984]

I know many might know this already. But thought I would share my experience

1 The velum plane
2. three out of the four equipment, the Plasma Cutter | Fingerprint Cloner | Cutting Torch
3. The guard outfit at the landing strip, by the guys drinking and it is easy to notice in a box on the floor. You will see clothes in the box head over to it and it will give you the option to put them on.
4. Just pay for the weapons stash. That will be placed in the hanger.

a few other things

1. Do not turn off the CCTV, as you are only making your way to the compound. Plus, they are back on when you are in the compound and no way of turning them off. So waste of time and you can avoid via a motor bike or a army car.

2. No need to worry about disabling the defences as you will have you weapons stashed in the hanger. Now when in the hanger scooping the place out. When you scoop out the cage below. With the drugs in them, Turn to your right and you can see stuff you can climb. There is another area above with more drugs or cash in it. Take a picture and that is another scooping for you

Once you have the guards outfit, you will see some white cones of view, that is the CCTV and guards that are fine with you. But be careful, spend to long in there view and pull out a weapon of do anything strange around the guards and the CCTV, it will alert the entire island.

If you get the bike, you can hook it right past the first check point. The one you get past when you are doing your first ever scooping missions. Choose either way to go.

But again ,all the guards beyond the land-strip are all high level guards, and sometimes two army cars are driving around. So be caution either on foot or bike or army car

To me, even with the hard mode activated. This is the best way to go about the heist, I have found it to be a winner all the time.

Now the moment you have your stash of weapons, directly in front of you. You will see a guard pacing up and down a dirt path. He has a darker cone of view. Meaning he will see right through your guard outfit. Avoid him and the CCTV. Just up the dirt road there is a Motor bike, if it is there. Take it and ride through the open land and jungle area. Get close to the check point wall to the compound. And then jump into the water and swim to the drain system.

Never any need to go through the check point. Just get close as you can to the wall

All the guards on the roads leading to the compound are all high level guards which mean they will see right through your outfit.

Plus I would always swim to the drain system under the compound and equip my Re-breather and avoid the main entrance. Plus it becomes a safe point if you die and fail the heist. Plus here is another point to know.

When you exit the door from the drain system, hook a right and go up the stairs and up the second stairs, and then jump onto the ledge and then the roof. Here is a video to show you

I use this path all the time. And the guy he shoots has a high chance to have the gate keys. Plus you can still head up to the office and sneak right past the guard without shooting him. Go to the stairs he comes down and hug the wall. Then when he is looking out ward and away from you. Just sneaking right past him. Get into the office. Collect what you need. And hack the keypad. Get into the basement, collect the target.

And as you are going to leave. Do not go up to the office again, turn left and hack the gate. Then when you are past the gate, hook and right up the stairs, as that is the closet to the main gate.

get out the main gate. Get the bike, and just drive to your left of the cliff and swim. You never need to ever exit the place you set up as your exit point. Always head for the water, equip your re-breather, swim low and straight, and there you go
