What triggers the alarm in the Cayo Perico main dock?

[Жидобандеровец]

I'm playing solo. I sneak into the storage on the right side of the main dock, the one where you have to go deep inside a shed.I don't kill anyone and don't destoy any cameras. I just stand near the gate (without cutting the chain on the gate) and a little later the alarm goes off. I don't understand why. But it doesn't happen always, once I was able to take the loot without the alarm triggering (and I was doing everything the same, as far as I'm aware).

Any idea what causes the alarm there?

There are some sheds where enemies can wallhack you grabbing through walls, so possibly that.

Be careful when you grabbing loot on main dock ,they changed rules .
The guard near storage can see you trough the wall , take loot while hes dont watching .
Also incoming truck can spot you .

[ChickenBalls]

just avoid the main dock
but if you really want to you need to find a bolt cutter

[Жидобандеровец]

Ohhh, it must be the wallhacking guard, I see. Thank you!
Why bolt cutter? Does the torch make noise or something?
Note that I was spotted not while grabbing and not while cutting the chain. I was just standing still near the gate.

you can silently open locked gates with bolt cutters
using the torch can alert nearby guards

as i said just avoid the main dock
you can usually get coke or weed at the airstrip

Yup, but sometimes airstrip has bad loot , yes in rare cases .
Main dock with 2 coke is ez , also coke and office paint combo .

Does coke even spawn in the soloable sheds? I've only seen weed and cash, coke is in the lockup where a second person needs to hold the lever.

Gold is only tied to 2 persons ,everything else is available .

It does. With recent cayo nerf R* reduced it's chance though.

[Жидобандеровец]

Yeah, the nerf sucks in so many ways simulatenously. They also nerfed the door glitch so I can no longer grab secondary loot in the main compound and get elite.

it's not really wall hacking.. there's a crack/gap in the boards of the back wall just behind the tables with loot on them.. patrols can and will see through this crack.. I encountered this before they even nerfed cayo again to make guards self-aware and notice dead bodies..

[Жидобандеровец]

Oh yes, I noticed that gap and was wondering about it, but it didn't seem like a guard should have seen me through there when the alrmed went off. But maybe I missed something. Good point.
BTW, weren't the guards always aware of dead bodies? I thought it was only the jugg who was blind.

Nope.. was all guards.. used to be able to kill some guards at the North Dock and not worry about Jeep patrols finding them.. used to be able to kill guards in the compound and the spawns after stealing the primary target wouldn't see the bodies..

From my own memory, I believe the nerfs occurred in the following order:
1) Patched Compound doors so they could not be opened with the cover/aiming trick, buffed the Juggernaut so he couldn't be killed with a single headshot.
2) Adjusted cool down timer if heist completed while running solo.
3) Gave guards awareness.
4) Reduced value of targets.

TBH, they made Cayo a pile of utter BS that made me lose interest in it some time ago..

if you kill the guards at the perimeter gate then take the bike to the main dock there is a guard who patrols the inner perimeter in a jeep and he will find the dead bodies and raise the alarm

[Wiesshund]

i just go to airfield
Take the all the coke, then weed, then a few cash
sneak back to the boat, circle around island, go to sewer entrance.
Sneak to bottom door (not the top door) since from the bottom, only 1 lock to solve.
Grab the main object, sneak to gate and open it.

So far, 0 shots fired, no one dead.

After leaving the compound, kill the 1st guy up the road before he can alert
wait for 2nd guy who will be coming along in a vehicle
kill him before he can alert anything.

Then take the bike and hang a left and run straight off the edge of the island
then keep swimming

Repeat again in 48 minutes or so

GTA Rags to Riches video gives a good walkthrough and shows you want loadout to pick.

Repeat as often as you can be bothered to, or until you are sick of having money.

I wont mention the instant reset glitch, you are on your own there
