Since its initial releases, GTA 5 and GTA Online have both remained one of the top games on the chart. Rockstar Games released the game when interest in the Grand Theft Auto series was at its peak. Most gamers, and even those who don’t play many games, have at least tried one Grand Theft Auto game. Furthermore, recently, GTA 5 marked its 10th anniversary. However, not everything is jolly with the game, though. Rockstar Games has nerfed one of GTA Online’s best DLC heists, the Cayo Perico.
The Grand Theft Auto series is all about unlawfulness, car chases, messing with NPCs & pedestrians, and heists. Moreover, since GTA Online’s release, constant game updates have kept the game alive. These updates had a lot of things that kept driving the players’ attention, with vehicle updates, especially the new DLC missions. Furthermore, some of the game’s best missions and heists have always come with the new DLC content updates!
From Lost Santos Drug Wars to The Diamond Casino Heist and even Contract missions, the game has had loads of top-tier missions. However, amongst all, the Cayo Perico Heist has always been a player favorite in GTA Online. But that doesn’t seem to be the case anymore.
Rockstar Games nerfed the Cayo Perico Heist in GTA Online
The only heist that can be done solo & also in a party, moreover pays exceptionally well, is Cayo Perico Heist. Rockstar Games released this heist in December 2020. This heist soon became the new meta of the game as this heist was amongst the few ones that paid really well. However, that isn’t the case anymore. With Rockstar Games marking GTA 5 and GTA Online’s 10th anniversary, it has also nerfed the Cayo Perico Heist.
Rockstar Games has just significantly reduced the payout for several of its Primary and Secondary Targets. The game studio has also dramatically boosted its setup costs by 300%. The reward nerfs have clearly lessened the appeal of The Cayo Perico Heist, even if it continues to be one of the easiest jobs to earn a sizable sum.
Primary Target rewards have been reduced by 30%, including those for the Sinsimito Tequila, Ruby Necklace, and Bearer Bonds. Additionally, the minimum value of Safe Cash has been reduced by 60%, while all Secondary Target rewards, with the exception of Gold, have been reduced by 10%. Below is the updated list of all rewards and their payout in GTA Online’s Cayo Perico heist:
- Bearer Bonds (Primary Target) – $770,000
- Sinsimito Tequila (Primary Target) – $630,000
- Ruby Necklace (Primary Target) – $700,000
- Weed (Secondary Target) – $130,500 – $135,000
- Cash (Secondary Target) – $78,750 – $83,250
- Artwork (Secondary Target) – $157,500 – $180,000
- Safe Cash (Secondary Target) – $20,000 – $99,000
- Cocaine (Secondary Target) – $198,000 – 202,500
This new update has hit the player base really hard and made this nerf really bad for those looking for a way to make some bucks in GTA Online. GTA Online players are now wondering if it is still worth it to grind the Cayo Perico heist or not. Also, considering no other mission or heist made as much as this one, players are really in a dilemma.
