In truth, it's a bit of a flawed addition to the game, relying too much on GTA's not-particularly-refined stealth mechanics, with much of the heist spent sneaking around an island. You can even enjoy Cayo Perico in singleplayer – and this week, it's paying out bonuses for completing it. That last one, added late last year, sends you to a new location away from Los Santos. I've played through them a few times now, and it's a treat to take new players through each one.Īcknowledging that heists remain the most compelling content in GTA, Rockstar has subsequently added three more over the past few years: the Doomsday Heist, the Diamond Casino Heist and the Cayo Perico Heist.

As reported by Game Rant, the mod allows players to tackle the GTAO heist as GTA 5’s campaign.

Heists are the ultimate team-building exercises, and give every player a moment to shine, whether it's arriving at the last minute to fend off cops in a military helicopter, or parachuting onto a beach in the closing moments of a mission. For those tired of logging onto GTA Online only to get blasted into non-existence by another player’s rocket launcher, The Cayo Perico Heist DLC (released for free to players in December 2020) is now playable offline thanks to modder HKH191. You might be tasked with stealing a package, while a couple of other players are waiting on a nearby rooftop with a sniper rifle.Īfter completing a string of setup missions, you get to pull off one big score together – netting yourself a whole wad of cash, particularly if you're playing these through for the first time. You'll need three other players to truly get the best out of them, but they essentially work like GTA singleplayer missions, except each of the four players gets a specific task to perform in a mission.
Still, money stuff aside, the best content in GTA remains the heists. Buying an office and a vehicle warehouse is an easy route to regular cash in GTA Online beyond Prime – but I'll leave this excellent Reddit guide to explain all of that. Prime sort of turns GTA Online into a subscription MMO, and that injection of cash lets you more freely enjoy the game, allowing you to save up for the weapons and vehicles you want. Then, if you have an Amazon Prime account, I recommend hooking it up to your Rockstar account to get $200,000 of handy in-game cash every week. It's not worth getting Prime just for the cash – but if you know someone with an account, the money does make a difference. Driving or flying around the city with pals is also inherently great fun – the basic act of hanging out with friends in this open world is pure magic. Without them, GTA Online can feel like a slog, and teaming up with strangers is fraught when many missions require careful co-ordination and teamwork. My advice, if you're starting out now in Los Santos, is to bring friends. I also wish the loading times weren't so bloody long.
