Tips for a 1 Hour setup/finale Cayo Heist SOLO

[Asterio]

Some tips for a 1 hour setup/heist total time SOLO.

In the scope mission all you need to find is the tunnel entrance and the main dock exit one time. That's the best entrance and exit from the heist. After scoping those one time you don't have to scope anything else on the next runs. Just rush to the communication tower. There's some videos showing a fast route to there using a bike.

You don't have to scope for secondary targets, they will always spawn at the same places even if you don't scope. The only three secondary targets that you have to worry about are the ones near the main dock that you can enter solo, which is the best escape route and they will always fill your bag before the escape. Memorize where they are and don't waste time scoping for them.

When viewing the cameras in the scope out, go right 3 times to get to the basement camera, see the objective and close the phone. Then get caught by a guard or suicide to be teleported to the entrance and get out of the island.

If you do the torch prep, you don't have to do the explosives prep. That shaves off one mission and let's you complete the setup with only 5 missions (torch, fingerprint, plasma, guns, kosatka).

When you get back from the scope out mission, go to Vespuchi Beach and spawn your submarine. Do all preps from this location (except the vehicle prep) since its the closest to all preps. At the end, start the vehicle prep (kosatka) and fast travel your sub near it, after fast travel I like to drive the submarine near the mission and take out the 3 boats and helicopter with the sub's missiles for a safe exit (not the guided ones, the regular missiles).

If you get the merrywheter gun prep, restart or change your session to get the office gun prep, it's faster.

Do all preps in a invite only session so you don't have to deal with griefers.

You don't have to do any of the optional preps.

The Sparrow is really useful since it's stored in the sub. Get it for effective time.

Create a effective route in the compound to get to the office and out of the island by the main dock.

You don't have to use the marked boat to escape from the main dock. There's some boats to the left side of the dock that you can use and you will have to kill less enemies to exit with them undetected.

In the office at the compound there's a hidden safe in the wall with some money that doesn't waste bag space. Also at the office, there can spawn some artwork to fill your bag early on, which allows you to ignore the secondary targets at the main dock.

Thanks; I thought El Rubio's helicopter triggers the alarm. Must be something else then. Also figured stealing a boat would trigger it so I didn't try that. Might do another scope then to find the rest of the Main Dock loot. Also, having only done it once so far, does the secondary loot placement rotate or is it always the same? If it's always the same, I'll just go to the cocaine spot and be done with it rather than checking everything.

You can take any vehicle you find as long as a guard doesn't see you. Engine noises apparently make it easier for them to spot you, but I'm not sure how that works exactly. I've been fine with using vehicles and just staying out of their cones of vision normally.

Secondary loot is different each run, but they can only spawn in certain places. So the loot -spots- don't change, but the -content- does (they can be empty).

If you don't mind spoilers, here's a map with all the points of interest on the island:

Thanks; I did see that map but it didn't mark which location was which loot... I guess that makes sense if it changes. Speaking of which, that also answers another question - I found weed at the North Dock and then the other two North Dock spawn points were empty, so I was starting to wonder if loot only spawns at the first place you check. I'd prefer not to get stuck with the weed since it's the least valuable secondary loot.

Cash would be the least valuable, actually.

Cocaine is best, then either weed or art (conflicting reports on that), then cash at the bottom.

The two most efficient spots for secondary loot: https://i.imgur.com/2NXsSpr.png

There's no guarantee they'll have anything (my last run, for example, there was only one stack of cash between the two), but they usually do.

I haven't done that many runs (maybe around a dozen or two), and I'd say 90% of the time, those two spots are enough to fill my bag.

If not there, there's the spot a bit to the east, but it can be tricky to access without being seen, and will take quite a bit more time.

If you don't have full bags, you won't be getting the elite bonus anyway, though, so time matters less. Then it's just a matter of if you want to bother with it or not.

If you're not trying to be as fast/efficient as possible and aren't planning to do the drainage tunnel/main dock thing, then it's probably in your best interest to take your time on your intel-gathering mission to figure what's where.

Look for easily-accessed cocaine & weed, as well as a guard uniform.

gold is best and op should add that it is possible to solo enter the 2player door in the compound, so you can leave the villa with full bags and go straight to the ocean instead of long way to the harbor

how do you open the 2player door in compound when solo ?

It is how it is. One batch fills your bag to one third. And after the third batch your bag is full.

after your bag is full there is still a few bricks on the third table

good scaremongering

it isn't even close to the profit gained through the double gold casino exploit, where nobody was banned R* simply fixed it or the good old finals only glitch which is still available for all heists.

i wonder if rockstar add this ♥♥♥♥ fully intentional as pr for the clickbaiters
it is like the heli in pac standard or kuruma and access to the garage.

They changed pac standard so often it was hillarious, made it possible to leave the bank during the heist because the doors were open etc.

It was one of my fav as the doors were open because everyone had a job, 1 guy got the heli, 1 guy got an escape vehicle, 1 guy took care of the hostage and the last one collected all the cash

so what? an exploit increases that % considerably. many people got banned for the last known major exploit. this will likely be the same.
so just don't do it and stop spreading it like its a good idea.
