Cayo Perico Payout

[Asterio]

Just wanted to share the payout I get for soloing Cayo Perico.
My current strategy takes me 50 minutes to complete the heist on hard mode starting to count after I press the buttom to pay the setup cost.
So these numbers is what you can expect to make per hour after you master this heist, since the cooldown is 10 minutes and with a good strategy like mine it makes for a hour total.
These numbers are also counting the elite challenge, which is really easy to do since the enemies always do the same stuff, so you just have to master a good route. Also, this is after the taxes, so these numbers reflect what you really actually profit and receive in your bank account.

Tequila - 1.3m+
Necklace - 1.4m+
Bonds - 1.5m+
Diamond - 1.7m+
Panther - 2.3m+

The most common loot for me is the Necklace and the Diamond, followed by the Bonds and then the Tequila. And the Panther is super rare.

If you are lucky with the secondary loot and the hidden safe, these numbers can reach the next "100k" in the total.
That's it. The avarage is around 1.5m per hour and more if you hit the jackpot Panther.

Go learn this heist, guys! Its really worth it!

Here is a example of the Necklace final take, the most common loot, followed by the Diamond, then the Bonds, then the Tequila and the Panther as the super rare loot. This run took me 48 minutes in total from the scope mission to this ending screen. This was a fast finale for me, generally the finale takes me 11 to 13 minutes depending on how many secondary targets I have to get to fill the bag, so this was in the 11 minute range.

the tequila is rare? i've gotten it the last 2 times, guess i'm unlucky

Did you play on normal? My guess is that the Tequila is quite rare on Hard Mode.
I play mostly on hard mode and yesterday and today I haven't got a single Tequila.

Like I said, the commonality for me goes Necklace > Diamond > Bonds > Tequila > Panther

I would think tequila would be more common since it's the lowest payout, but i'll take your word and rule it as bad luck on my end.

Thanks for posting this.

Few questions

How do you get the panther and all the other stuff?

How do you solo and get into the 2-key doors?

How do you approach it?

What intel do you have?

So far I have figured drainage is the best route?

After the first run you can get any of the other loots as primary targets.

You can't get into the 2 key doors alone. I fill my bag with the secondary targets at the main dock that doesnt need 2 keys.

My entrance is the drainage tunnel and the exit is the main dock. Full stealth with a tight route, always killing the same enemies and taking the same path.

The only intel you need is the main dock exit and the tunnel entrance. After you get those just rush to the communication tower in the scope out mission, find the target and get caught by a guard to be teleported to the entrance and get out of the island. You dont have to scope for secondaries, they always spawn at the same locations, you just have to memorize where they are. There's 3 secondary targets at the main dock that can be entered solo and will always fill your bag.

Had an idea that I feel like this might be the best place to share. Seems rather bizarre to have Dr. Dre show up so briefly in the LSIA cutscene before the first trip to the new island. He mentions there he's lost his phone with important stuff on it, including unreleased music and personal pics. I wonder if that might be a special loot down the road similar to diamonds in the Casino Vault. Maybe not, but struck me as one way they might work such a well known musician into the game world more prominently, along with maybe having him do a set or something at the Music Locker.

Have done the heist five times solo, including the initial time when the main target is Madrazo's papers. Loot I've seen is 2x Ruby Necklace, 2x Tequila. My strat is:

Infil Vehicle - Kasatka
Infil Point - Drainage Tunnel
Exfil Point - Main Dock (although I just scuba out to sea since 2x guards are guarding the boat and I can't get them without triggering the alarm)
Weapon Loadout - Either the sniper rifle or the new battle rifle
SIlencers - Always worth the extra $5k

For scouting, I just do the bare minimum and ignore poison and other side stuff on the island.

For preps, I just do the bare minimums. Nothing to reduce the guards' armor/vehicles/guns. No explosives, either.

Mission is pretty simple - stealth kill the same guards in the same order, grab the main target, exfil through the main gate (jumping on that green fuel tank thing to get over the fence w/o alerting anyone), hit three stashes in the Main Dock, and then exfil. I make $1.3m or so each run and have already paid for the sub, the Sparrow (which I'd say is essential), and accidentally buying the new military rifle for $400k like an idiot.

Stealth is finicky as hell, so get used to being frustrated by it. Also, El Rubio coats the cliffs around his island in vaseline, so don't expect to climb any of them.

Where do you get your secondary loot when you solo the heist?

Main dock.
There's three spots for secondary loots for solo players near the main dock.
If you get paintings in the office you will propably fill your bag with the first spot.
With no paintings you have to go for the secondary spot and sometimes also the third.

Just got the Elite Challenge using the Patrol Boat.
Entrance and Exit at the Main Dock.

The Elite Challenge time (15 minutes) is very forgiving if you use the Submarine with the Drainage Tunnel as entrance, since even with the boats it's possible to get it.

Another question regarding the 3rd spot on the main dock: how do you open it? It didn't give me an option when I was near it.

Hello everyone! Can you please tell me if you came across a gold panther with diamonds during the robbery of Cayo Perico? Or will her rockstar be added only for the holidays, like diamonds during the heist of a casino?

That spot isnt for solo players.
The third spot near the main dock is to the east, on the other buildings. You have to cross swiming.

Not yet.
But I've seen screenshots.
Its really rare. Definitelly below 5% chance.

Doing it stealth is pretty easy, minimalistic prep, 3/4 equipment as you don't need the charges.

Go through the grates with either submarine or Longfin, kill guards and either get the gate keys or just go through the personal guards, but i'd say the gate keys make it a bit easier/quicker if you get the drop.

In the main office open the safe for 80k bonus, possibly a painting, if you have the key the gold gun from the desk if you don't have it already.
Get the primary loot from down below, easy exit with gate keys, but either way go through the main gate, shoot the guard at the bike and another guard down the road, get on the bike and drive towards the exit, kill both guards and the camera and you're out of there.

I like to make a small detour and get secondary loot from the weed fields in case it's 3x cash at the main docks, alternatively you could loot the main docks at the start of the mission as you have the time to do it if you care about the 15m timer.

Then head to the main docks, fill up the lootbags and get a boat, there's a guy hiding behind the crane on exit that you can't really take out from the water, so either kill him before you get on the boat or ignore as you'll be out there soon anyways, then just head for the edge of the map, Rubio will back off pretty quickly and other helicopter doesn't really do much.
