If I buy LONGFIN BOAT, Can I avoid the preparatory Cayo Perico Mission?

[MrFaster]

I want to know if I buy the boat: LONGFIN Can I avoid to do the mission to stole the Longfin in Cayo Perico Heist? Thanks

[Starscrape the generous]

no, you still will have to do the prep

[Hellsmoke]

Of course not, this is Rockstar games. Greed over everything else remember?

[Drat Souma]

No, to "avoid the drug lord from tracking you via your purchases and assets". That's their ingame explanation.

[bigbenisdaman]

No. But if u buy a phantom wedge you can use it to retrieve the Longfin, making the mission supershort

[globefish23]

No.
Listen to what Pavel tells you!
You have to get rid off all weapons, vehicles and tools after the heist, or El Rubio will be able to track you down.
That means you can't use your own purchased Longfin of course.

The longfin is pretty useless, don't bother getting it. It always spawns too far away from me and I regret buying it. Like if you're at Del Perro Pier it won't even spawn nearby like a seashark, and spawns all the way in Venice Beach so you have to drive many blocks and then take it up the canal to get back to where you were.

Is that true? Are you saying that you'll have suppressors on the heist even if you didn't buy them, as long as you already bought them at least once during a previous heist? That doesn't seem right, so if it works like that then it must be a glitch of some sort. The screens make it clear that you need to re-buy them each time, as Landstander said, and I've never gone in without them so I wouldn't know.

Once you buy them once, you never have to buy them again, they're auto-equipped unless you rebuy->toggle them off. Next run try it, works for pc and xbox, assuming same on ps. I never even select weapons, just do the stuff down to time of day an launch.
