Heists are one of the main appeals ofGTA Online, and for good reason. They feature tons of high action, exciting gameplay, and of course big payouts. It’s no wonder why they continue to remain strong even though the game has been around since 2013.

The Cayo Perico Heist is one of the many heists you can take on, and it features plenty of valuable targets for a great payout. If you’re looking for some cash, it can be a good heist to choose. We’re here to let you know the maximum Cayo Perico Heist payout that you can get.

What’s the highest payout for the GTA Online Cayo Perico Heist?

The best possible take home for the Cayo Perico Heist is around$4.18 million. However, the max payout is going to vary based on what targets you go for, and how many players you have. If you miss out on certain targets, you’ll miss out on cash. There are also bonuses for completing the heist with more players. You’ll need to grab all the loot and play with four players to get the most amount ofmoney.

Going solo and getting all the targets will net you around$2.68 million. You won’t receive the bonus for playing with a group, so without those bonuses, you’ll take a significant hit on your earnings.

It should also be noted that the setup for this heist will cost you $100,000, so be prepared to lose that much to play the heist.

These prices are for the targets after the nerf to the heist that was done in late 2023. Before this, you could actually earn about 10% more for these targets, but the Cayo Perico Heist was given an update that lowered a lot of these target’s payouts. Maybe you couldsell some carsto make up for the loss.

Is the Cayo Perico Heist worth it?

The Cayo Perico Heist is a worthwhile heist to do and is actually quite useful when playing solo. For around an hour of work, you’ll get at least a million when it’s all said and done. While unfortunately the nerfs have taken some of the wind out of its sails, it’s still good.

It’s a pretty solid heist with a good payout, and for the time spent on the heist. However, it does lose some of its luster as you replay it over and over again, but you should definitely complete it at least a few times.
