Cayo Perico Guard Cone Of Vision Bug
This is a question that has been asked a few times I think in many different places, steam, reddit, etc. but maybe 30% of the time I do the Cayo perico heist solo (It’s fine 2, 3 or 4 man) but solo right after I finish collecting the primary target sometimes a guard will spawn in with a MASSIVE cone of vision like literally the entire size of the compound and regardless of the fact that I am underground and he can’t even see me, everyone’s cone of vision disappears and the entire compound is immediately alerted of my presence. I was wondering if there was a reason in particular why this happens even though it seems like just collecting the primary target triggers him to spawn in bugged sometimes but I was wondering if anyone had found a solution to the issue rather than doing what I do and Just killing everyone and making a break for the green button, TIA GTA people

The ONLY work around i have found for this if you have entered via Kosotka is to do the Keypad Hack from the office.
For whatever reason the Elevator doesnt always work and i have to get the keys to go underneath anyway, but it does stop the all seeing Guard from catching me through the walls for whatever reason.

*Edit, i don't kill many guards and avoid the big guy if this bug happens.

Hope this helps someone.

i had an issue with the elevator not working, for me it was caused by high fps, capping fps to 60 solved the issue

I'd like to say it definitely is a bug, and it's still happening.

Played it in two people, and I did not shoot a single camera. Didn't need to. First try we were detected by a huge cone of vision in the basement, two other times it took the cone longer to spawn and we were detected after leaving the basement.

However both times it was by a guard with huge cone of vision the size of the whole compound, who spawned near the main gate (not sure where exactly, as I literally was on the other side of the compound)

Also, the only way to fix it, at least for me, seems to be the restart the whole mission (find new session). Quick restarts won't help

It will work if you buy the game on steam moan

I do want to put out there I’m sorry if I’m rude or if any of my comments come off that way I do apologise, I truly am just frustrated and everyone I talk to seems to not have had the same problem as I have and every time I ask about suggestions I keep getting asked if I had killed any guard and whatnot, I mean it when I say I cannot be more clear, the compound is not getting altered due to a body being found the compound is being alerted due to me being found, by a guard, at the front gate, while I’m underground, around 0 guards, this guard has literal x ray vision and a cone of vision the size of the compound itself, this bug has been around for an extremely long time and it used to happen to my mates as well when we all ran cayo’s together but everyone else I ask about it for insight misunderstands my questions and thinks the compound found a body. Please if anyone has an answer please let me know

No need to apologize for this known bug. I don't have X-ray vision myself, so can't look into Rockstar developer behavior or look through walls like this guard masters clearly. My experience and knowledge this far:
A. First heard about it and a workaround if you play 2 - 4 players on this heist from the YouTuber channel Tylarious.
B. It's a bug they say. You are correct.
C. I never experienced it on early Cayo days on my PS4. Done hundreds of solo heists. It was introduced later by Rockstar.
D. People's guess is, Rockstar reverted code, and patched something, and by reverting to older code base, they left this little bug. They could have done it on purpose. The only effects, having less people grind this moneymaker or two birds with one rock, to try affecting you to play with more people. As the early discovered workaround will show. Here:

Workaround
On solo, I don't have any. But you fight your way from the island. Run, get motorcycle and jump into the water. Swim for the best known spawn points.

Multiplayer is quite detailed.
1. Practice the escape route to the gate. If you come out of the basement towards the stairs. Don't waste time using the stairs, but in the sunken area outside metal grid door off of the basement, find the sweet climbing wall spot. The person getting primary target needs to preferably use this route.
2. One of you position yourself at the exit huge metal gate, in the middle and hugging it. This will buy you some time. Because the laser vision guard will spawn regardless. Then communication to your friend that you are in position.
3. Don't forget to steal secondary loot, preferably gold before this primary target, so you make the quick escape.
4. Have one of you now steal the primary target. And quickly join you at escape gate. This will often give you enough time to beat the otherwise sudden spawn of superman vision guard. But if the player fumble to hurry, he will spawn and detect you.

I have had him spawn at the exact time that I choose to activate escape door. And it becomes a silent approach result. I have also failed because friend to slow out of basement. But if you perfect it, he will not spawn at all.

I would also want to know like you if there is a simpler solution
