Is the Cayo Perico Heist Worth It (Solo)?

[Dicker_Max]

I have saved up around ~3.1 Million and I could buy the Kosatka (without the Missiles, Sonar, and Workshop) for 2.2 Million. If I go on the Cayo Perico Heist, will I profit from it? If so, how much is the maximum possible profit for Soloing the Heist and how do I achieve such profit (Guide)?

Any answers and guides from this Thread/Post would not only help me, but other Players who plans to go Solo on the Cayo Perico Heist.

Thank you in Advance.

It's worth it, solo still best money even though r* introduced some bs cooldowns (144 minutes for completing finale solo, 48 min if with other player(s)).

For guides just type cayo perico solo guide to google/youtube (beware though, some older guides can be a bit irrelevant since they don't account for some stealth changes like guards detecting bodies now).

You will make your money back x100, it all depends on how long you can go on whit out getting bored.

Cayo heist will pay off the submarine and have some left over after doing the heist twice.

Sonar is a waste of money, don't bother with it.

Guided missile isn't necessary, but fun.

Sparrow is a good investment because you'll be running back and forth from the sub a lot. Add a few hundred K more for missile and chaff upgrades.

The Arcade and the sub are the two best investment assets in the game. For a small price to setup, and some time running preps, you can run a heist finale where you can get well over 1m as host.. For Cayo, you can even run that heist solo.. so whether you want 100% of the cut, or you just don't want to be the teammate that blows it for the rest of the team but are more forgiving of yourself when it's just you, then Cayo's the ticket.. every few hours anyways..

Yes the sub will cost more than you'll make from the Madrazzo Mission to steal Rubio's Files.. IIRC, that's only worth ~1m.. After that, however, you can go back over and over and over and over again where you'll get either Tequilla (900k), a ruby necklace (1m), bearer bons (1.1m) or a pink diamond (1.3m).. on special occassions, Rockstar will make the Panther statue available, and that's worth 1.9m.

After two heists with full cuts, you've made your money back.. and I would recommend getting the sparrow and guided missiles asap.. the sparrow comes in handy for getting to the mainland while prepping.. if you're going to have help on the preps, it's almost necessary..

The guided missiles aren't really necessary, but with them, you can do all of the disruption preps with fast travel and you only need to leave the sub to go inside the warehouse on "Armor" distruption..

And if you want to make for some quick Equipment and Weapons preps, you can try docking at the boat yard..
