Each heist presents unique challenges and choices that will test your strategic thinking and quick reflexes. The decisions you make during the planning stages, such as choosing your crew members and approach, will directly impact the outcome and the amount of money you’ll walk away with.

This guide is for the story mode series of heists in GTA 5 (The Jewel Store Job to The Big Score). Don’t miss our GTA Online heist guide (The Pacific Standard Job).

In this guide, we’ll walk you through each of the five heists (The Jewel Store Job, The Merryweather Heist, The Paleto Score, The Bureau Raid, and The Big Score), providing expert tips and recommendations to help you maximize your take and minimize your losses. We’ll cover the best crew members to choose for each job, the optimal approaches to take, and what you can expect in terms of potential earnings.

Heist 1: The Jewel Store Job

On the first heist, the Jewel Store Job, choose Option B (Smart).

Take Rickie Lukens as your hacker. Other hackers may give you more time, but he will give you the perfect amount of time for this heist.

As for your gunman, you should unlock Packie McReary by completing his optional encounter. It is a random event in which he robs a store and needs help getting away. Once you help him, you can choose him for heists. He is just as good as Gustavo Mota, but hiring him is 2% cheaper. If you take Norm Richards as your gunman instead, he will crash during the getaway. You can grab his money by driving over his bag after the crash, which will give you more money, but you will lose Norm.

Take Karim Denz as your driver. The chase sequence will be more difficult, but he takes less of your money.

If you choose Option A instead, take Eddie Toh as your driver. He takes 6% more than Karim Denz, but will allow you to get $4,946,153 (the highest possible amount), which will leave you with $1,076,304 for Michael and $293,539 for Franklin, significant increases over the amounts you will get if you take Karim Denz along for Option A.

Score: Your total take should be a shade under $5 million with around $1.2 million going to Michael and just under $300K going to Franklin.

Heist 2: The Merryweather Heist

Due to narrative reasons, there is no money to be made in the Merryweather Heist, so your performance or actions will have no impact on the amount you gain. This is the first time the three protagonists run a heist together.

There are two possible paths you can take when playing this heist, which depends on choices made in one of the set up missions. If you picked the Offshore route, you will need to find a submarine, steal it and take it to a drop-off point. This sub will then be used to recover the target item underwater while using the Trackify application on the in-game phone. You’ll need to take the item back to the shore with a helicopter while fighting through enemies.

The other route is the Freighter route. This sees you discovering the item inside a ship’s wreckage instead of just on the seabed, but the rest of the mission is largely unchanged.

Score: $0

Heist 3: The Paleto Score

For the third heist, the Paleto Score, you lose money every time you or one of your crew is shot in the back. You start with a maximum possible score of $8,016,020, however the structure of the mission means there is an unavoidable GTA$ 20,000 loss.

If you used Packie McReary for the Jewel Store Job (Heist 1), take him as your gunman, because his stats will be raised from that heist. Otherwise, take Chef. Both cost 2% less than Gustavo Mota, even if he may be slightly superior.

On the other hand, if you choose either Norm Richards or Daryl Johns for the heist, you’ll be forced to leave that character behind. You can pick up his share for a higher take. If you want to do this we suggest using Daryl Johns (and leaving him behind) as Norm Richards can be good to use for the final heist.

Score: Your total take should be just over GTA$8 million with around GTA$ 425,000 – 464,000 going to each of Michael, Trevor and Franklin.

Heist 4: The Bureau Raid

For the fourth heist, the Bureau Raid, choose Option B (Roof Entry).

Take Rickie Lukens as your hacker (using a better hacker will have no effect) and select Norm Richards as your gunman.

As for your driver, you need to unlock Taliana Martinez by completing her optional encounter. It is a random encounter where she will be alongside the freeway in the northeast. Save her life by driving her to Sandy Shores in time. You need her as your driver because she is one of the best, and her price is 9% lower than Eddie Toh’s. On this heist, she will wait for you in an ambulance, so you completely avoid the police. If you do not have/want to unlock Taliana Martinez, take Karim Denz as your driver. If you used him in the first heist as well, he will also have an ambulance. Otherwise, you will need to escape the police in a van.

If you choose Option A, you will not get significantly less money than in Option B, but Norm Richards will die if you take him (and he is good to have for the last heist). Take Packie McReary and Gustavo Mota instead.

Score: Michael will get nothing with Franklin receiving around GTA$ 240,000 – 242,000.

Heist 5: The Big Score

For the fifth heist, the Big Score, choose Option B. It is possible to get $41,664,000 per character this way.

Take Taliana Martinez as your first driver. She will successfully fly the helicopter and only takes 5% of the money. Also take Karim Denz as your second driver, so that he drives the train. The gunmen are unnecessary, so take the two cheapest gunmen you can.

If you choose Option A, the maximum amount you can get is $34,892,000 per character. Once again, take Taliana Martinez and Karim Denz as your first and second drivers. Take either Packie McReary or Chef as your first gunman. Take Norm Richards or Daryl Johns as your second gunman. Either will save you a lot of money in this heist. Use Rickie Lukens as your hacker.

Score: Each of Trevor, Michael and Franklin should get over $41 million!

Diamond Casino Heist Scope Out – All Access Points & Points of Interest https://www.gtaboom.com/diamond-casino-heist-access-points-pois-guide/ https://www.gtaboom.com/diamond-casino-heist-access-points-pois-guide/#comments Wed, 18 Dec 2019 21:45:08 +0000 https://www.gtaboom.com/?p=27979 This guide shows you how you complete the Diamond Casino Heist scope out missions. By doing them, you’ll find all the different access points and POIs to unlock thee three casino heist approaches – The Big Con, Aggressive and Silent and Sneaky.

With the release of the Diamond Casino Heist update, Rockstar decided to add a variety of approaches you can choose to carry out the heist itself. When it debuted, this heist was one of the most complex ever delivered.

In order to carry out the heist finale, you must go through several heist preparation missions. Among the mandatory prep missions are optional prep missions as well, which you can choose to do just to make your heist finale easier. All the Access Points and Points of Interest that you need for the Diamond Casino Heist are set out for you below.

You can buy a casino model for your prep board for GTA$130,000 which shows the locations of all the Access Points. However, even that is not enough as it still does not help you pin-point the exact locations of some of the Access Points that are outside the casino.

Access Points

If you scope out all the access points, then you will have more options to enter the casino. The access points are listed below.

Access Point #1

The first access point is the main casino entrance door.

Access Point #2

The side door to the right of the casino.

Access Point #3

Side door to the left of the casino.

Access Point #4

The garage door of the security tunnel underneath the race track to the right of the casino.

Access Point #5

There’s a sewer tunnel right across the street from the casino. Head over there and go inside and take a picture of the sewer grate.

Access Point #6

Keypad door right down the stairs behind the bar.

Access Point #7

Keypad door next to the pool.

Access Point #8

Keypad door 1 around the back when you jump off the ledge of the swimming pool towards the left.

Access Point #9

Keypad door 2 around the back. After the first door around back, when you go a bit forward you will find the second door with a guard beside it.

Access Point #10

Keypad door 1 on the roof right beside the helipad.

Access Point #11

Keypad door 2 on the roof beside the helipad.

Points of Interest (POIs)

Besides the access points above, there are several points of interest which can either be identified or scoped out. These will add further options that can allow you to approach the heist in a variety of different ways. There are two parts to finding the points of interest.

You find the points of interest in the Casino Scoping mission as well as the Vault Content Scope out mission. There are a total of 11 POI that can be scoped out. All the POIs are listed below.

Casino Scope Out POIs

The following are the POI you can identify when you are carrying out the casino scope out heist prep mission.

Point of Interest #1

The old camera. You can take the picture of any one of the old camera. They are present everywhere around the casino. On the roof and the roof terrace as well. This picture is taken on the roof.

Point of Interest #2

The security guard standing beside the elevator.

Point of Interest #3

The orbital camera inside of the casino.

Point of Interest #4

The purple keypad beside the staff door which says ‘Restricted Access’ beside the chips exchange counter.

Point of Interest #5

Casino vault blueprints. You can find them sitting on the table in Agatha’s office in the management section of the casino. You need to have VIP membership in order to access this area. Go through ‘Inside Tracks’ and you will see a double door with a guard standing beside it which says ‘Management’. You need to go inside that and upstairs to Agatha’s office.

Point of Interest #6

The valet at the main entrance is also a point of interest.

Vault Content Scope Out POI

When you hack into the camera feed while doing the vault content scope out mission, you have the option to either leave the camera feed after you’ve found the vault content or to continue and find the points of interest. You can continue to check all the feeds and grab all the points of interest.

The general rule when you are identifying the POI through the camera feed is to simply scroll you camera all the way from left to right capturing everything. Once a POI is identified, you will get a notification in the bottom left corner which will say ‘Point of Interest scoped’.

To help you as much as possible all the points of interest in the camera feed nare listed below for you.

Point of Interest #1

When you hack into the staff corridor camera, move your camera all the way to the left side and once the marked door is in the feed, the POI will be identified.

Point of Interest #2

In the hotel floor camera, you need to move your camera all the way to the right until the two staff elevators are in sight. Once they are in sight the POI will be identified.

Point of Interest #3

In the vault security camera feed, you need to have the security room door in your camera feed sight and the POI will be scoped out.

Point of Interest #4

When you reach the staff lobby camera feed, you will instantly get a notification saying that a POI is scoped out. This is because the whole front desk area is the POI.

Point of Interest #5

In the staff entrance camera feed, move your camera to the left where the metal detectors are and scope them out to get a POI identified.

Point of Interest Portfolio

One you’ve found all the POI, your prep board should have all these pictures on it.

Those are all the access points and points of interest you need to know of.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you need to buy the penthouse to carry out the Diamond Casino Heist?

No, you do not need the penthouse to carry out the Casino Heist, however some points of interest require you to have a VIP membership in order to access them, such as the Vault Blueprint in Agatha Baker’s office.

If you take a picture of the blueprints then you will have a prototype in your Arcade basement to practice drilling on. Getting this blueprint is completely optional and it will not affect the Casino Heist experience.

Where is the waste disposal access point?

Access Point #3 is the Waste Disposal door. It is at the 0:48 minute mark in the access point video.

Cayo Perico Heist Payout List, Cooldowns, Bonus Payouts and All Targets https://www.gtaboom.com/cayo-perico-heist-max-payout-cooldowns-bonus-payouts-and-all-targets/ https://www.gtaboom.com/cayo-perico-heist-max-payout-cooldowns-bonus-payouts-and-all-targets/#comments Tue, 10 Oct 2023 17:13:06 +0000 https://www.gtaboom.com/?p=79098 Despite several nerfs since its launch, The Cayo Perico heist remains the most profitable money-earning option for solo players in GTA Online. However, for teams, the Diamond Casino heist is a more lucrative option, especially after the Cayo Perico payout reductions of September 2023.

Below, you will find everything you need to know about the Cayo Perico Heist payout, including primary targets value, secondary targets value, and the associated fees.

In the Cayo Perico heist, you’ll encounter two types of targets: primary and secondary. Primary targets contribute significantly to your heist earnings and loot, while Cayo Perico secondary targets are optional items scattered throughout the compound. Collecting secondary targets involves some risk, as they spawn randomly, but the potential reward is worth exploring different areas of the compound for maximum loot.

Payouts also change with the chosen difficulty level. Opting for hard mode increases the value of Cayo Perico’s primary targets by 10%. You can get the heist’s hard mode if you set up the heist within 48 minutes (real-time) of Pavel sending you a message to start the heist again.

Setup Cost

The setup cost of the Cayo Perico heist is a whopping $100,000 which you must pay to start the prep missions from the Kosatka.

Primary Targets

As mentioned earlier, prioritizing primary targets is crucial since they constitute the bulk of your heist loot. However, with practice, you can collect secondary targets while making your way towards the primary one.

GTA 5 Stock Market Guide https://www.gtaboom.com/stock-market-tips/ https://www.gtaboom.com/stock-market-tips/#comments Thu, 26 Sep 2013 11:27:43 +0000 https://www.gtaboom.com/?page_id=2704 The GTA V stock market can be a lucrative way to grow your in-game cash reserves, but it takes some know-how to maximize your profits. In this guide, we’ll share practical tips and strategies for investing in stocks on the LCN and BAWSAQ exchanges.

Whether you’re a beginner investor or looking to optimize your portfolio after completing the game’s main missions, these methods will help you navigate GTA 5’s stock market and make smart trades. We’ll cover:

  • Lester’s Assassination Missions and how to time your investments around them
  • Story affected stocks
  • High Frequency Trading on the LCN exchange
  • Exploiting the insurance stock market after rampages
  • Finding the most volatile LCN stock for consistent gains
  • Understanding company rivalries to predict stock movements
  • Listening to the radio for insider stock tips
  • Manipulating stock prices through targeted destruction
  • Optimizing trading by advancing time efficiently

Lester Assassination Missions

The “Lester Assassination Missions” method of investing in GTA 5’s stock market is probably the most fool-proof method to make money in in the game, and lots of it too.

We have a page dedicated to Lester’s Assassination Missions here.

Basically, it boils down buying and sell specific stocks before and after you complete the assassination missions for Lester (which are a big part of the single player story line).

Story Affected Stocks

LifeInvader and Richards Majestic

You should not invest in LifeInvader or Richards Majestic. LifeInvader will decrease in value after Friend Request, and Richards Majestic decreases at a later point in the game. The key issue with these two is that they never regain their original values.

Vangelico

Vangelico will decrease in value after The Jewel Store Job and increase after Minor Turbulence, for about a 40% return if you buy at its low and sell at its high.

FlyUS

FlyUS will decrease in value by about 50% after Legal Trouble and increase to its original value after Meltdown, for a 100% return if you buy at its low and sell at its high.

Cluckin’ Bell

Cluckin’ Bell will decrease in value after Paleto Score and Gruppe Sachs will decrease in value after The Big Score (subtle version). These two, along with Augury Insurance and Merryweather (which do not decrease in value during the game), will increase for high returns based on your ending decision.

Cluckin’ Bell will increase to its original value if you go with The Third Way (Deathwish) ending choice, for about a 65% return if you buy at its low and sell at its high. Gruppe Sachs will also increase to its original value, for about a 30% – 35% return if you buy at its low and sell at its high. Augury Insurance will double in value, for a 100% return.

However, if you pick The Third Way, Merryweather will decrease in value by over 50% and never return to its original value. To make money by investing in Merryweather, you should choose The Time’s Come. It will increase in value for about a 250% return.

High Frequency Stock Trading

This only works for LCN stocks and do make it worthwhile you need A LOT of money. For this reason it is good to do after you’ve finished all of Lester’s assassination missions, for example. You should also know that the prices of the LCN stocks will refresh every 45 seconds while you’re doing this.

  1. Look for the stock that has the lowest price (meaning you can buy more of it).
  2. Buy it (the maximum amount) and then immediately save your game. Don’t muck around when doing this (you will have 45 seconds or less).
  3. Once saved then check the stock by pretending to purchase more. Provided you stay on the “purchase more stock page” the price will constantly refresh for you.
  4. If the stock price goes up, then save your game and repeat the steps above. If the stock price goes down then reload your initial save game and try again.

This can be a little annoying (having to wait through a lot of saving screens) but it can also be worthwhile provided you are investing a lot of money to begin with. The incremental changes won’t be massive (maybe a few cents per price change) but they add up if you have loads of money riding on it…

Insurance Company Stock Tip

Head out on a mission of destruction and then immediately put some money into AugeryInsurance stock (AUG). When you destroyed lots of cars by damaging them, it should have caused the stock price to go down. Then after a while (and given you’ve stopped destroying things) the stock should shoot right back up!

LCN Stock Trading

When you’re playing GTA V there will always be one particular stock on the LCN market that fluctuates within a set range (well pretty much a set range).

If you can find that stock and know it’s range, then it’s just a matter of continuously trading it to make money! When it goes down into the bottom of the trading range, buy it. Then when it goes up to the top, sell it!

Note that the stock in question for your game will not be one affected by the Assassination Missions (ie Debonaire Cigarettes, Redwood or GoldCoast).

Best Stocks to Buy & Sell

This table is useful because what is good for one company (i.e. its stock price will increase) will often be bad for its competitor (its stock price will decrease). So, if certain events happen in the game that might be good or bad for specific companies, you have a better idea of what stocks you should buy.

Radio Stock Tips

If you listen often to talk back radio stations then you’re more likely to hear about stock tips. If you do happen to hear something, load up on the stock being discussed to profit!

Stock Market – Buy Cheap and Sell High

Here’s a way to score some cheap stock and then also increase its value.

This tactic hinges on the company rivalry/competitor system, and is centered around the Los Santos International Airport. If you check out our chart above, you’ll note that AirEMU and FlyUS are rival airline companies, and this can be used to earn big time. Before starting this, make sure to save your game so you have a restore point with all your money in case something goes wrong.

To start out, you need to purchase all the AirEMU stock that you can. After that, start destroying FlyUS planes at the airport. There should be plenty, and the large liveries on the sides of the planes will let you know what airline they belong to. By destroying the planes, you can steadily decrease FlyUS’ market value, thus increasing AirEMU.

Jet Gtav Flyus

By piloting FlyUS planes and crashing them, you can decrease their value by a greater magnitude, but this is pretty time-consuming. After you have destroyed a bunch of planes, commit suicide or go to sleep at one of your properties, but do not save the game. Check the stock market a few times, and keep killing yourself/sleeping until the profit percentage increases. I can go as high as 10%, but if it stops increasing after a while just get your winnings and sell as high as you can.

Tinkle Stock Tip

Ideally this is best done later in the game when you have serious cash to invest…

Stock Tip Location

  1. First get all your characters to invest in Tinkle (TNK) on the BAWSAQ.
  2. Then head to Hitch Lift 1 using Michael as your character and you’ll see a guy to pick up.
  3. You need to take him to the Airport and along the way he’ll tell you about a particular stock that is going to increase in value.
  4. $Profit$

Trading Days and Advancing Time

Each trading day on the stock market begins at 8am (except weekends), so if you are advancing time, then make sure you check it at 8am each day. Advancing time via sleeping will put your forward 8 hours.

And if you want to advance time more quickly/efficiently, you don’t have to actually save. Instead just go head into the save screen when at a bed and then exit. This is enough to advance time.

GTA V Downloadable Content (GTA Online DLC) https://www.gtaboom.com/gta-online-update-dlc-history/ https://www.gtaboom.com/gta-online-update-dlc-history/#comments Sun, 20 Mar 2016 00:06:28 +0000 https://www.gtaboom.com/?page_id=12365 Since its launch in 2013, Grand Theft Auto Online, the multiplayer portion of GTA 5, has been continuously evolving with a steady stream of free DLC updates. From festive surprises to massive expansions, these content drops have introduced new vehicles, weapons, missions, properties, heists, game modes, and much more to keep players engaged in the ever-growing world of Los Santos and Blaine County.

Below, you will find a full and complete list of all GTA V Downloadable Content & Updates (for GTA Online) in chronological order from newest to oldest, each of them linking to their respective article providing detailed information.

We also have a full rundown on GTA 5 story DLC.

2023

  • The Chop Shop – Launched on the 12th of December as the last Grand Theft Auto Online downloadable content update of the year, and its second major one, The Chop Shop hooked players up with Liberty City tycoon Yusuf Amir and tasked players with – hold onto your seats everyone because this one is a shocker – stealing cars! Once you’ve calmed down and got your bearings, there is more; the new Salvage Yard property will get you access to these new robbery activities, which require careful planning to pull off, since you’re not stealing just any old beater off the street. This update also brought a bunch of regular vehicles, and much more coveted law enforcement vehicles that players could purchase. GTA+ subscribers gained access to the Club Garage, a new garage space with capacity for 100 cars. Smaller additions include a battle rifle, wild animal encounters and drift races.
  • San Andreas Mercenaries – Launched on the 13th of June, 2023, San Andreas Mercenaries represents the major summer downloadable content update for the year. In such fashion, the amount of additions are major. Alongside a bevy of new vehicles, brand new mission types targeting the Merryweather private military company will send players on explosive new activities as the Los Santos Angels, a freelance mercenary group operating out of your own Mammoth Avengers. Additional items, quality of life improvements and side-content, such as an expansion of the stable of cars eligible for Taxi Work, are also included.

2022

Gta Online Hao

  • Los Santos Drug Wars – Released on December 13, 2022, Los Santos Drug Wars is a massive downloadable content update that features a new two-part story mission and a new Acid Lab business that is available upon completion of the story missions. The new drug-selling enterprise introduces features from the classic 2009 GTA title China Town Wars, such as selling drugs and raiding gang warehouses. As usual, the update also features a new set of missions and vehicles. The update also introduces several highly-requested quality-of-life updates, such as the ability to hide phone contacts from the phone, start selling missions directly from the Terrorbyte in all session types, and the ability to complete the Casino story missions solo. The PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X|S also received real-time raytraced reflections as part of the update.
  • Criminal Enterprises – The biggest update to hit Grand Theft Auto Online not only in 2022 thus far, but throughout the game’s entire run. The Criminal Enterprises downloadable content brought new missions and functionality to Executives, MC Presidents, Nightclub Owners and Gunrunners while introducing a new storyline and bringing in the standard crop of new vehicles. This DLC is also notable for its gameplay tweaks and quality of life improvements, like allowing Business activities in private sessions and increasing the property limit.
  • Hao’s Special Works – Released alongside Expanded and Enhanced on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, this downloadable content packed buffed out the LS Car Meet’s underground area with an additional shop, more Time Trials, extra car customization features and the function of directly purchasing copies of other player vehicles being shown off at the car meet. Hao’s Special Works would also introduce its own subline of weekly changing bonuses and discounts for next-gen players.

2021

Tuners

  • The Contract – Shifting attention to story driven, single player content within Online, The Contract brings back Franklin Clinton and Dr. Dre in a new narratively focused adventure. Players join Franklin’s agency specializing in solving delicate problems for the elite, hang out with Dre in his studio and take on a bunch of contracts to up the company’s rep. There’s also plenty of standard downloadable content fluff here – clothes, cars, weapons. Rockstar also revealed that this is just the first chapter of our cooperative adventures with Franklin, and The Contract introduces a format we’ll see repeatedly in future downloadable content.

The Test Track allows players to win a new car each week while trying out upcoming dripfeed vehicle DLC, and membership benefits also include the chance to buy a new Auto Shop property and engage in complext multi-part robbery Contracts. Los Santos Tuners also added 10 new cars to Grand Theft Auto Online.

2020

Openwheel

  • The Cayo Perico Heist – The biggest update ever to hit GTA Online, The Cayo Perico Heist introduced a new landmass for the very first time, alongside an ambitious new heist with optional setups and a solo mode. Alongside the titular caper, The Music Locker opened beneath the Diamond featuring new resident DJs, a bunch of new vehicles and clothing items were added to the game and players could purchase a refurbished nuclear submarine.
  • Los Santos Summer Special – Large summer update bringing 15 new vehicles, 6 new co-op missions that can be launched from yachts and a number of expansions to existing activities, including an Open Wheel Race Creator.
  • Gerald’s Last Play – This update added 6 new Contact Missions to the game.

2019

Casinoheist

  • The Diamond Casino Heist – Continuing the story of the Diamond Casino, players team up with Lester to rob its vault. A new Arcade business was made available alongside a planning Hideout, as well as 12 vehicles and new side activities. iFruit Radio was added to the game in this DLC.
  • Diamond Casino & Resort – The Diamond Casino brought with it plenty of opportunities to lose money, and a few to win some as well. Players could purchase personal penthouses, complete 5 narrative missions and a number of Casino Work missions. 6 vehicles were added to the game.

2018

Clubwarehouse

  • Arena War – Arena War came after a long period without any fresh downloadable content primarily due to the release of Red Dead Redemption 2. The update introduced the Maze Bank Arena bringing 7 new game modes, Career progression and 12 new vehicles to the game. These can be upgraded and customized at the Arena Workshop.
  • After Hours – After Hours brought the biggest change to the way money is made in GTA Online ever since businesses were introduced by Further Adventures in Finance and Felony. With the consolidated warehouse, businesses turned into sources of passive income. Beyond this, the new nightclub business was added alongside 7 new vehicles. Old fan-favorite characters Gay Tony and Lazlow also made their return.
  • Southern San Andreas Super Sport Series – A smaller update adding a new racing mode, Hotring Circuit, with 10 available tracks as well as a large vehicle roster, bringing 13 new rides to Grand Theft Auto Online.

2017

Svc

  • Festive Surprise 2017 – A return of the festive downloadable content seen in the previous holiday DLCs, with snowfall occurring in-game during Christmas and New Year’s Eve.
  • The Doomsday Heist – GTA Online’s biggest DLC ever brought a new heist to the game for the first time since 2015, alongside a huge list of other content. Players can buy new Facilities which, besides unlocking the new missions, would grant access to the Avenger, a flying HQ, strike teams and an orbital cannon. The Doomsday Heist brought end-game content to the game for the first time, one of the biggest vehicle drops, 10 more outfit slots, a new radio station and new achievements.
  • Transform Races – Yet another riff on stunt races, this downloadable content added a new mechanic where driving over certain checkpoints would change your vehicle to one altogether different in a puff of smoke. Players would go from cars to planes to boats across a wide selection of tracks.
  • Smuggler’s Run – A callback to an older Rockstar IP in name only, Smuggler’s Run refocused the game on air superiority by adding a new mission specific property, hangars, as well as several planes and other aerial vehicles. Smuggling missions saw players sourcing contraband items, taking them back to their hangars, then going on sell missions. It was followed by a large about of weekly vehicle releases tied into the theme of the update.
  • Gunrunning – 2017’s biggest downloadable content added a whole new world of crime to Southern San Andreas. Players can go full super villain with new Bunker HQs from where they can launch illicit weapon trading missions and research new weapon attachments and upgrades. With the massive Mobile Operations Center and weaponized vehicles, Gunrunning takes the action to the road. New character customization options finally cater to the military enthusiast niche as well.
  • Cunning Stunts: Special Vehicle Circuit – This follow up to 2016’s massively popular Cunning Stunts took the original concept and mixed in some of Import/Export’s special vehicles. 20 new tracks were added to the game designed around the abilities of either the Rocket Voltic, The Blazer Aqua or the Ruiner 2000. The tracks were joined by the Progen GP1 classic supercar and the removal of heist-completion requirements for a number of vehicles such as the Hydra and the HVY Insurgent.

2016

Low Banner

  • Import/Export – Import/Export continued the long-running CEO series of updates, this time returning to the roots of the franchise by once again placing the emphasis on the stealing of vehicles. This new mechanic was joined by mammoth 60-slot garages, a whole lot of vehicles and other content, including a host of unique, “special vehicles” which all had some kind of special ability – or multiple. These included cars with jet-engines strapped to their rear, amphibious buggies and KITT from Knight Rider, among other. That said, the actual import and export missions were the focal point of the DLC and it gave us the newest most lucrative activity in the game, allowing players to make a ton of cash in relatively short amounts of time when done right.
  • Halloween 2016 – Though it added the all new Sanctus bike, the 2016 Halloween Downloadable Content was mostly a retread of last year’s Halloween Surprise. At least the Franken Strange and Lurcher went back on sale!
  • Deadline – Deadline added the Nagasaki Shotaro to the game, which was a clear homage to Tron, alongside the Deadline Adversary Mode, which is similar to light cycle battles from the same film.
  • Bikers – Finally answering the most popular community request, Rockstar added a full fledged biker themed update to the game. Bringing in 13 new bikes, clubhouses, new clothing items, clandestine businesses and much more, Bikers made quite the splash when it launched. What’s better, Rockstar has been updating it with small vehicle batches since.
  • Stunt Race Creator – Originally intended to be part of Cunning Stunts, the Stunt Race Creator was postponed. Released pretty soon after Cunning Stunts, the new update allowed players access to the multitude of new props used by the stunt races via the creator, enabling them to craft their own death-trap-circuits.
  • Cunning Stunts – One of the best recieved updates the game has ever been expanded with, Cunning Stunts added the now beloved stunt races, as well as an absolute massive library of vehicles. Cunning Stunts also saw the addition of Premium Races, allowing the best drivers in Los Santos to risk more for a bigger prize.
  • Further Adventures In Finance And Felony – A massive update which shook up the standard Grand Theft Auto Online gameplay form that has cemented since Executives was released. Adding the all new crate missions, Finance and Felony gave players a reasonably lucrative alternative to heisting, as well as a slew of new vehicles, clothing and more. Possibly the best addition is the new weapon locker, which somewhat alleviates the game’s trouble with the weapon wheel.
  • Lowriders: Custom Classics – A relatively small DLC update which added three new vehicles to Benny’s Original Motorworks, a host of character customization options, two new weapons and the Sumo Adversary Mode.
  • Be My Valentine DLC – Celebrating Valentine’s day, this update brought back the good old Roosvelt as well as an updated version. The DLC also added new clothing options and a new Adversary Mode titled Till Death Do Us Part. The Gusenberg Sweeper also made a return.
  • rop Zone January 2016 Update – A minor update, this downloadable content added two vehicles to Benny’s Original Motorworks and a new Adversary Mode.

2015

Heists

  • Festive Surprise 2015 DLC – Celebrating Christmas has become something of a tradition in Grand Theft Auto Online – Fireworks, Snow, a new car and several new customization items.
  • Executives and Other Criminals – The Executives update is one of the largest ever seen in GTA Online, introducing the deep and layerd VIP and Bodyguard system. Several new weapons and vehicles were also added, along with the end-game Super yachts.
  • Halloween Surprise DLC – This spooky update added an all new Adversary Mode, two cars, a weapons and new masks.
  • Lowriders – A large update adding a new contact to GTA Online providing missions as well as Benny’s Original Motorworks, a new car shop where you can customize lowrider vehicles. New weapons and clothing items were also introduced.
  • Freemode Events – A significant update bringing major changes to the underlying mechanics of GTA Online by wiping away job lobbies and loading screens. It also added a massive amount of new event types.
  • Ill-Gotten Gains Part 1 & Part 2 – An end-game update focusing on expensive new customization items, weapons and vehicles. It is notorious for adding a gold-plated jet which costs 10 million in $GTA .
  • GTA Online Heists Update – One of, if not the, largest update GTA Online has seen. Adding a massive amount of vehicles and, more importantly, the difficult but lucrative heist missions to the game.

2014

Hipster

  • Festive Surprise DLC – The second Christmas themed update brought snow to Los Santos, as well as a handful of clothes, weapons and vehicles.
  • Last Team Standing Update – As the name suggests, this update added the LTS game mode to Grand Theft Auto Online alongside two weapons and three vehicles.
  • San Andreas Flight School Update – This DLC added four new vehicles to the game, as well as flag parachutes and the Flight School missions, allowing players to train as crack pilots.
  • Independence Day Special DLC – Following the theme of ‘MURICA, this update added the Musket weapon, a Monster Truck, a bike, rural safehouses and massive amount of new clothing for a limited time. It was re-introduced in 2015.
  • I’m Not A Hipster Update – This downloadable content added two new weapons, a whopping 7 new cars and a dozen new missions. New customization options go without saying.
  • High Life Update – Another update focusing on luxury and riches, High Life adds a few new vehicles, a new weapon, and a handful of clothes and apartments – as well as new missions with which to earn cash for buying all that.
  • Business Update – A minor update adding some new vehicles, weapons and customization items with a common formal theme.
  • Valentine’s Day Massacre Special DLC – Going for a retro gangster look, this DLC adds retro clothing, the Roosevelt old timer and the Sweeper, GTA’s take on the Tommy Gun.

2013

Beach

  • Holiday Gifts DLC – The first Christmas downloadable content, adding festive clothes and snow.
  • Capture Update – This DLC brought the capture game mode to GTA Online.
  • Content Creator Update – The extremely versatile Content Creator, which allows players to build their own missions in GTA Online, was added alongside a handful of bugfixes in this update.
  • Beach Bum Update – The first content update to ever grace GTA Online, Beach Bum added several new vehicles, two new weapons, and countless new customization items and jobs to the game.

Now that’s a lot of free downloadable content for GTA V that we’ve recieved! So the next time you see some disgruntled player accuse Rockstar of greed, feel free to link them to this page.

We will continue to update it as new DLC is release for Grand Theft Auto Online.

All Cayo Perico Points of Interest & Scope Out Locations https://www.gtaboom.com/all-scope-out-locations-in-gta-onlines-cayo-perico-heist/ https://www.gtaboom.com/all-scope-out-locations-in-gta-onlines-cayo-perico-heist/#comments Tue, 15 Dec 2020 16:10:53 +0000 https://www.gtaboom.com/?p=58599 There are five categories of Intel that you can scope out for the Cayo Perico heist:

  • Secondary Targets: These are targets other than the main Madrazo File, and finding each secondary target increases your max potential payout. Secondary targets include cash, weed, gold, and paintings.
  • Infiltration Points: There are eight infiltration points that determine how you enter the island during the heist. Having more infiltration points scoped out allows for more approach options.
  • Escape Points: These are the locations that will be used to escape the island after getting the primary target. There are four escape points.
  • Compound Entry Points: Six compound entry points allow you to enter El Rubio’s compound during the heist. You can choose whichever entry point you prefer.
  • Points of Interest: There are six points of interest on Cayo Perico, two of which have a fixed location every time you start a new heist and won’t need any further scoping. However, the rest of the items have a random spawn order but fixed locations. We have covered all the possible points of interest locations below. Points of Interest allow you to add variety to your heist by giving you more options to approach it.

There are six points of interest in total, but each of them might need to be grabbed multiple times to count as a finally completed point of interest. For instance, there are four bolt cutters scattered around the map spawned randomly, you must collect all four to count it as a “single” point of interest.

Video Guide

Infiltration Points

As mentioned before, the infiltration points determine how and where you enter the island from when the heist starts. There are eight infiltration points on Cayo Perico island, which are as follows:

Airstrip

The airstrip is the runway you see when you first enter the island. It is automatically added as an infiltration point once you arrive at the island for the first time. You do not need to worry about scoping it out yourself.

Halo Jump

Once again, the Halo Jump is also added on its own whenever you first arrive at the island. It is understood that the island is pretty much scoped out of the plane whenever you are above the island.

West Beach

The West Beach infiltration point is also unlocked automatically, once you get to the party after landing on the island. The rest of the infiltration points need to be scoped out.

Main Dock

North Dock

You shouldn’t have any issues finding the North Dock infiltration point as it is part of the tutorial or introduction of the Cayo Perico scope out mechanics. Pavel will instruct you to scope it out. We’ve shown the location below regardless.

North Drop Zone

South Drop Zone

Drainage Tunnel

Note that you do not need to take a picture of the drainage tunnel. Swim to the location shown below, and it will automatically be added as an infiltration point.

Escape Points

There are four escape points in Cayo Perico, two of which are added automatically, leaving you with one escape point that must be scoped manually. If you’ve gone through the infiltration points, then they would have been added already.

Airstrip

As mentioned before, The airstrip is the runway you see when you first enter the island. It will be automatically added as an escape point.

Kosatka

Kosatka is the name of your submarine, and it will be anchored north of the airstrip. This is also added automatically.

Main Dock

If you’ve scoped out the main dock during the infiltration points, then it will be added as an escape point as well.

North Dock

The same goes for the north dock. If you scope it out, then it will be added as an infiltration and escape point.

Compound Entry Points

All of the compound entry points are added by hacking into the CCTV cameras and scoping the compound area. Only one compound entry point is scoped outside of the cameras, and chances are you’ve already got that when you were scoping out the infiltration points.

To begin, you must make your way to the communications tower as the game instructs. The location will be on the mini-map, and you need to follow the on-screen instructions. Once at the tower, climb up to the signal box and hack it.

To hack the signal box, you will need to reach the target number given at the top of the screen by connecting the wires from left to right. There are numbers on the left side and the symbols are on the right side. There is no specific order as it is random for each person. You will need to figure it out by playing around a bit. Do not worry too much though, as it can be done fairly easily. Connect the numbers to the symbols on the right to achieve the target value.

After successfully hacking into the signal box, you will be locked into the CCTV camera of El Rubio’s compound. You can cycle through the cameras to find the entry points. Here are all the locations:

Main Gate

The main gate is automatically added for us when we reach the compound. But, just in case, go through all the cameras to make sure.

North Wall

North Gate

South Wall

South Gate

Drainage Tunnel

The drainage tunnel that you scope out during the infiltration points is also one of the compound entry locations.

The Secondary Targets

The secondary targets are the targets that you can find during the heist’s intel gathering phase, to maximize your potential payout. These are side targets besides the primary objective – the Madrazo Files. These secondary targets include cash, weed, gold, and paintings, as mentioned before, and they have a fixed location where they spawn – however, they always spawn in a random order.

Some secondary targets are found when you hack into the CCTV camera, but the majority of them are scoped out around the Cayo Perico island. This is quite a tedious process, so we do not recommend scoping the secondary targets if you plan on running this heist solo. There’s only a limited amount of these targets (ie cash, weed, gold or pantings) that you can carry until your loot bag reaches its maximum capacity. It’s best to scope out all the targets if you have at least 3 or 4 players doing the heist.

Secondary Targets – CCTV

Here are all the possible secondary locations found through the CCTV cameras in the compound.

Basement

There seems to be a highly valuable secondary target that shows up in this glass exhibit. This is probably when you do the heist on hard difficulty. It’s in the same basement room as the primary target, the Madrazo Files.

Basement Storage

There are two cash/gold tables and two painting slots in the basement storage.

Office (Cam 1 & 2)

There are two cameras in the Office, and you can find one painting slot in each camera. This means that there are two painting slots in the office.

West Storage (Cam 1 & 2)

There are two cameras inside the West Storage. You can see one cash/gold table and a painting slot through cam 1 and another cash/gold table through cam 2. You will have two cash/gold tables and one painting slot in the West Storage.

North Storage (Cam 1 & 2)

Like the West Storage, the North Storage will also have two cash/gold tables and one painting slot. You can see one cash/gold table and a painting slot through cam 1 and another cash/gold table through cam 2.

South Storage (Cam 1 & 2)

There are two cameras installed in the South Storage room with three secondary target slots. Cam 1 shows one cash/gold table, while cam 2 shows a cash/gold table and a painting slot. You need to pan all the way to the right to see the second cash/gold table.

Secondary Targets – The Island

The rest of the secondary targets are found scattered all around Cayo Perico island. These also have fixed locations, but they spawn in random order. These can be anything amongst cash, gold, and weed – paintings cannot spawn in these locations.

You must take the pictures of the secondary targets individually for them to be registered. If you take the pictures of two tables in a single photo, only one target will be registered, so you must take another picture.

Secondary Targets 1, 2, 3 & 4

These secondary targets are found inside the warehouse located at the airstrip.

There are two more in the warehouse, which you can access either by climbing up the ladders located at the far right side of the warehouse or by using the forklift to get to the elevated surface to your right.

Secondary Targets 5 & 6

Secondary Targets 7 & 8

Secondary Targets 9, 10 & 11

Secondary Targets 12 & 13

Secondary Targets 14 & 15

Secondary Targets 16, 17 & 18

Secondary Targets 19 & 20

Secondary Targets 21 & 22

Secondary Targets 23 & 24

Points of Interest (POI)

Furthermore, there are points of interest on the island, which you can scope out to give you additional heist approaches and different options. There are different types of points of interest. Two of the points of interest are fixed – the Control Tower and Power Station. The rest of them spawn randomly, but at fixed locations every heist you do.

Below, we show you all the possible POI locations, including the locations where we found our equipment. For the locations where we didn’t find, we have circled the exact spot in red where the items or equipment will spawn every time (if that location is one of the spawn points for you)

Control Tower

The Control Tower is the easiest and will remain the same throughout your Cayo Perico heist experience. The Control Tower is located at the airstrip. Take a picture of the tower and send it to Pavel to register this POI. The Control Tower is hard to miss as it is part of the tutorial when you first land on the island. The Control Tower disables the air defense system and allows your hired support crew to aid you during the heist.

Power Station

The Power Station is also located at the airstrip, near the Control Tower. You can scope it out, and later during the heist, it can help you take down CCTV cameras and lights briefly. It also reduces the Guard’s vision at night time.

Bolt Cutters

Here are the locations of all the bolt cutters on the island. They are mostly around a red toolbox. If you see a red toolbox, you should consider that location as one of the bolt cutters’ spawn locations.

Bolt Cutters 1

This location is along the runway of the airstrip. There is a bunch of containers and metal boxes on the side of the runway. The bolt cutters will be on one of the metal containers.

Bolt Cutters 2

This one is located at the beginning of the airstrip. There will be a couple of boxes, and the bolt cutters will be on a black briefcase resting on top one of the wooden boxes.

Bolt Cutters 3

The bolt cutters will be on the table at the indicated location. This is also near the airstrip.

Bolt Cutters 4

These bolt cutters are located near the power station. You must go to the end of the road where the solar panels are and look for some wooden boxes and a red toolbox. The bolt cutters will be on the ground beside the wooden boxes.

Bolt Cutters 5

You can find these bolt cutters in a wrecked boat stranded at the North Drop Zone. Get inside the boat, and the bolt cutter will be lying on the ground next to the wooden boxes and, of course, a red toolbox.

Bolt Cutters 6

This bolt cutter is unmissable as it is part of the “tutorial” when you first land on the island. It is found resting on a metal container near the North Dock.

Bolt Cutters 7

There is another boat by the North Sock with some tools inside. It also has a red toolbox and is a possible spawn location for one of the bolt cutters.

Bolt Cutters 8

There is a building at the end of the main North Dock road. If you go behind the building, you will find a set of ladders to climb up. You will find some more wooden boxes and a red toolbox. The bolt cutters will spawn next to the wooden box on the ground.

Bolt Cutters 9

This one is found in a shack, which is located in the middle of the map. You will find some people making and packing drugs. The bolt cutter spawns on one of the metallic shelves.

Bolt Cutters 10

This bolt cutter location is near the weed farm located to the far east, by the shack containing secondary targets. The bolt cutters will be on the floor. It will be difficult to notice these at first, as they blend quite well with the garbage on the ground.

Bolt Cutters 11

This one is found at the base of the sniper tower, located east of the same farm. There will be a stack of wooden planks at the base of the tower. The bolt cutters will be resting on these planks.

Bolt Cutters 12

These bolt cutters are also at the sniper tower base located directly east of the main radio tower, where you hack the signal box. You will find the bolt cutters leaning against the laundry container.

Bolt Cutters 13

You can find this bolt cutter at the western edge of the island near the security border of El Rubio’s compound. It will be next to a skeleton.

Bolt Cutters 14

These bolt cutters are resting at the base of one of the water towers.

Bolt Cutters 15

This one is also hidden quite well near the main docks. You will have to look closely for this one as it is camouflaged in many other items.

Bolt Cutters 16

These bolt cutters are found in the heart of the island, where the security is the tightest. You will need to be careful when making your way to this location. The bolt cutters are on top of a wooden box inside a docked boat by the docks.

Guard Clothing

Guard clothing is always in a green-colored basket with red and white uniforms inside.

Guard Clothing 1

The first location is at the airstrip where the pilot sits. The basket will be by the wall.

Guard Clothing 2

The second location is also nearby at the airstrip. The basket will be on the balcony of the building with the staircase leading up to it.

Guard Clothing 3

The third location where the basket can spawn is at the end of the dock located south of the airstrip. Go to the very end of the dock, and you will find it resting by the small set of stairs.

Guard Clothing 4

You can also find the guard clothing inside a shed located near the North Dock.

Guard Clothing 5

There is another guard clothing basket resting by the metallic container accommodation.

Guard Clothing 6

The sixth location is at the end of the main road near the North Dock. The basket will be next to some wooden boxes.

Guard Clothing 7

The seventh location is also in the same general area. You will find the basket by the red boat under a small shelter.

Guard Clothing 8

The basket will be next to the door of a yellow building on an elevated concrete surface. This is one of the first buildings you will see when you go through the security checkpoint.

Guard Clothing 9

This location is also in the middle of the island, where security is high. You will find the basket just next to some wooden boxes and a barrel.

Guard Clothing 10

You can find this one at the base of the main communications tower in the middle of the tower, where you hack the signal box to gain access to El Rubio’s CCTV cameras.

Guard Clothing 11

You can find this basket next to the air defense system next to one of the sniper towers. The green basket will be on the ground next to it.

Guard Clothing 12

You will find the basket resting by some cardboard boxes at the base of one of the sniper towers located northeast of El Rubio’s main gate entrance.

Guard Clothing 13

It is located next to a small building on the far west of the island.

Guard Clothing 14

This basket is also in the same general area under a shelter next to some barrels and wooden boxes.

Guard Clothing 15

The basket will be on the ground next to some water containers.

Guard Clothing 16

This one is found inside a container in a highly secured area. There is a sniper tower and a guard is patrolling the area too. Be cautious when approaching this area.

Grappling Equipment

The grappling equipment is also found all over the island in fixed locations. You must collect four of these to register the grappling equipment POI. It’s a black bag with a silver grappling hook coming out of it.

Grappling Equipment 1

You can find this one at the end of the runway of the airstrip.

Grappling Equipment 2

Go to the end of the road that leads to the solar panels near the airstrip and continue moving forward towards the shore. You will find the grappling equipment here on the wooden crate.

Grappling Equipment 3

This one is also near the same shoreline but near a wrecked boat. There will be a huge wooden crate. The grappling hook will be hidden behind it. You might miss it so don’t forget to look behind the wooden crate.

Grappling Equipment 4

The equipment is on a wooden crate at the base of a sniper tower.

Grappling Equipment 5

You can find it in the middle of the island on an old rusted boat.

This will be on top of a water tank near the North Dock area.

Grappling Equipment 8

The equipment will be on top of a building with some wooden crates and a red toolbox.

Grappling Equipment 9

The grappling equipment will be on top of a shorter water tank in the North Dock area.

Grappling Equipment 10

This one is a bit harder to spot at first. But, it is in the small gap of the crane.

Grappling Equipment 11

This equipment is found under a shelter by the weed farm. The bag will be resting on top of the cardboard boxes in the shelter.

Grappling Equipment 12

This location is at the easternmost edge of the island.

Grappling Equipment 13

The grappling equipment is on top of the communications tower.

Grappling Equipment 14

The grappling equipment will be under the stairs of the lighthouse.

Grappling Equipment 15

This one was a bit tricky to find for us, but it won’t be for you. This is not exactly on top of the water tank but halfway through.

Grappling Equipment 16

You can find the grappling equipment in a small gap in the crane at the island’s main dock.

Supply Trucks

Luckily there are only five possible locations where you can find the supply truck, and they are as follows:

Supply Truck 1

The first location is at the airstrip.

Supply truck 2

The second location is by the North Dock.

Supply Truck 3

The third location is in the middle of the map under a shelter.

Supply Truck 4

The fourth location is near the main dock. That is where we found our supply truck.

Supply Truck 5

The fifth truck location is inside the compound.

You can only see it through the CCTV camera.

Using These Items and POIs

Below, you will find the reason you need to find and use of each of the above-mentioned pieces of equipment and items that you are required to collect on the island.

  • Control Tower: The control tower disables the air defense system and allows your hired support crew to aid you during the heist.
  • Power Station: It helps you take down CCTV cameras and lights briefly. It also reduces the Guard’s vision at night time.
  • Bolt Cutters (x4): These help you open up locked storages without alerting the guards.
  • Grappling Equipment (x4): This allows you to climb the walls of the compound if you’ve scoped the north or south wall infiltration points.
  • Guard Clothing (x4): If you have the guard clothing, the guards take longer to detect you. You can also use the clothing in combination with the supply truck to enter the compound through the main gate.
  • Supply Truck: As mentioned above, if used with the guard clothing, you can drive through the main gate to enter the compound.

They’ve been in the game for as long as we can remember and GTA Online collectibles have only increased in number ever since the game was launched.

The collectibles are completely optional, so you don’t necessarily need to collect them, but they can be a great source of replayability for end-game players. In this article, we’ve gathered all the collectibles available in GTA Online.

This article serves as a portal to our dedicated guides to the collectibles, so you can go to each collectible guide article and collect them.

Playing Cards

The Playing Card collectible is a special deck of cards and was added to the game as part of the Diamond Casino & Resort update. There are 54 playing cards scattered across the entire map, and collecting all of them unlocks an exclusive High Roller outfit.

Signal Jammers

Signal Jammers is a new collectible type added as part of the Casino Heist update. There are 50 signal jammers around the city for you to destroy.

These notorious hallucinogens are not only available in the story mode of the game but also made their way into GTA Online. If you ever wanted to play as a Dog or perhaps a Cat, you can do that by consuming one of these mysterious Peyote Plants you can find all across Los Santos and Blaine County.

Peyote

There are 76 Peyote Plants in GTA Online as opposed to the 27 found in story mode.

Movie Props

The Movie Props collectible was added as part of the Los Santos Summer update featuring various new pieces of content, including an Alien costume. However, to unlock the new outfit, you must collect a total of 10 movie props spread throughout Los Santos. You also get bonus cash and RP for the collection of the props.

Shipwreck Treasure Chests

There are various treasure chest spawn locations across the map, and you can find them next to shipwrecks. The catch is that only one chest spawns every 24 hours. You must collect seven chests for seven days in a row to unlock a special outfit called The Frontier Outfit.

There are 30 possible spawn locations, and the chest can spawn in any of these daily. You also get cash and RP for every single chest you collect.

Antenna Locations

There are 10 Antennas you can find scattered throughout Los Santos. The Antenna collectibles are quite interesting as collecting all ten will unlock a new radio station called Still Slipping Los Santos. The “collection” in this context is repairing the antennas. This collectible was added during the Cayo Perico Heist update.

Cayo Perico Island Treasure Chests

You can find two daily treasure chests during the scope-out mission on Cayo Perico island. The spawn locations for the chests are fixed, but they spawn in a completely random order daily. You can collect these chests daily for GTA$15,000 and 1,000 RP per chest.

There are 19 spawn locations, with ten on land and nine underwater.

Los Santos Tuners Media Sticks

Added as part of the Los Santos Tuners update, there are a total of four media sticks and one secret media stick. Collecting all four unlocks CircoLoco’s EPs. Each EP is associated with one media stick.

In addition to unlocking the EPs, you also get 1,000 bonus RP per stick. Once you collect all the media sticks, you get an exclusive CircoLoco Tee reward.

The Contracts Media Sticks

Like the Los Santos Tuners Media Sticks, Rockstar added three new media sticks for you to find and collect as part of The Contract DLC. Each media stick unlocks a new song accessible via the interaction menu of your media player.

In addition to the songs, you also get an exclusive new hoodie.

LD Organics Product

LD Organics Product are a collectible added with the release of the Criminal Enterprise update. There are 100 packages scattered all across the map. Each package collected will reward you with $1,000 and 1,000 RP.

For collecting all 100 packages, you will get a total of $100,000 and 100,000 RP. This is an excellent way of leveling up early and mid-game. In addition to the $100,000 cash for all hundred packages collected, you are rewarded with a $50,000 bonus, a hat, and a t-shirt once you deliver all hundred packages to Lamar.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to sprint in GTA 5 and Online?

On PC, sprinting is as simple as pressing the ‘Left Shift’ button on the keyboard. PlayStation players can run by repeatedly pressing the ‘X’ button on their controller. Similarly, Xbox users can sprint by repeatedly pressing the ‘A’ button.

How to crouch?

In GTA 5, freely crouching on demand isn’t an option. Instead, you’ll automatically crouch when taking cover behind an object half your height. On PC, you can take cover by pressing ‘Q’ on the keyboard. On PlayStation and Xbox controllers, you can take cover by pressing the L1 and LB buttons, respectively.

How to sit down in GTA 5 and Online?

Surprisingly, sitting freely anywhere isn’t an option in GTA 5 or Online. You can only sit in specific locations like your apartment couch, or office chair when operating your computer at various businesses.

All 100 LD Organics Locations in GTA Online https://www.gtaboom.com/all-100-ld-organics-product-locations-in-gta-online/ https://www.gtaboom.com/all-100-ld-organics-product-locations-in-gta-online/#comments Wed, 23 Aug 2023 20:08:55 +0000 https://www.gtaboom.com/?p=77622 LD Organics Products is a new type of collectible in GTA Online, added with the Criminal Enterprise update. There are 100 product packages scattered all around San Andreas.

You can identify an LD Organics location by spotting a plain white bag with a green LD Organics logo on it. If you play with a controller, it will vibrate near the package. The vibration will grow more intense as you get closer to the package.

In this guide, we cover all 100 locations you can visit to collect the packages. The guide follows a set route that is easy to follow, so you won’t have to go back and forth the map.

You can also keep track of your LD Organics Products by going to your Interaction menu > Inventory > Collectibles. Note that the collectible will only show up once you’ve collected at least one.

For each product collected, you will be rewarded with $1,000 and 1,000 RP. So for the collection of all 100 products, you will earn $100,000 and 100,000 RP. This is a great way of leveling up.

Gun Van Location Today (Updated Daily): Find the Gun Van & Railgun https://www.gtaboom.com/how-to-find-the-gun-van-and-get-the-new-railgun-in-gta-online/ https://www.gtaboom.com/how-to-find-the-gun-van-and-get-the-new-railgun-in-gta-online/#comments Thu, 12 Jan 2023 18:42:38 +0000 https://www.gtaboom.com/?p=72154 As part of The Los Santos Drug Wars DLC, Rockstar added a Gun Van to GTA Online, along with a new Railgun that players can purchase from the van, in January 2023.

The Gun Van can spawn in 30 different possible locations around the map. The spawn location is randomly selected from those 30 locations every day, upon the server resetting at 06:00 AM UTC.

Like the other daily resetting collectibles, the Gun Van doesn’t initially appear on the map, and so, without our help, you would normally need to go through all 30 possible spawn locations to find it!

Luckily for you, we update this page every single day and answer that burning question you probably have: “What’s the Gun Van location today?“.

As soon as you get close to the Gun Van’s spawn location, within 500 meters to be exact, it will appear on the map – a small van icon will indicate it. You’ll also be able to recognise the gun van as being a Speedo Custom with the licence plate 31EVL500.

Gun Van Location Today

The Gun Van location for Wednesday, May 15, is in Murrieta Heights as shown by the icon on the map below.

The Gun Van location for May 15 is in Murrieta Heights.
The Gun Van location for May 15 is in Murrieta Heights.
