Within the Cayo Perico Heist of Grand Theft Auto V, valuable assets beyond the primary objective exist throughout El Rubio’s compound. These supplementary items, including cash, weed, cocaine, and gold, can significantly increase the overall heist payout. Their locations are randomized with each playthrough, requiring reconnaissance during the scoping mission to identify and mark their positions for efficient collection during the heist itself.
Maximizing the take from these optional valuables is crucial for optimizing profitability. While the primary target often changes little in value, these supplemental items can represent a substantial portion of the final reward. Gathering intelligence on their placement is therefore a key strategic element of the heist, allowing players to plan infiltration routes and escape strategies that maximize their potential earnings. This element adds replayability to the heist, forcing players to adapt their approach each time.
