The Cayo Perico Heist is the most profitable heist for a reason. Because you can play it alone! This means that you receive 100 percent of the winnings minus some fees.
So if you want to get a lot of money quickly, you should definitely play the heist several times, as there are numerous different approaches, changing targets (with different values) and other loot that you can also take with you during your heist.
How do I make the most money? The Cayo Perico Heist is heavily dependent on chance for both its primary and secondary objectives. But you’ll make the most money with the pink diamond and two sets of cocaine.
Good alternatives are one set of cocaine, two sets of weed or one set of cocaine and a painting.
Also, don’t forget to open the safe in the office. Regardless of your luck, you should receive at least 1 million GTA dollars with the Elite Challenge.
Note: If you are attempting the heist for the first time, you must take the Madrazo documents as your primary objective. The primary objectives only change on all subsequent runs. If you are particularly lucky, you will even find a pink diamond in the villa of drug baron “El Rubio”, which will earn you up to 1,430,000 GTA dollars.
