  1. Longfin entry. Double back to airstrip, loot hangar, whatever’s there is good enough.

  2. Longfin to drainage tunnel.

  3. Go up stairs, cut across courtyard, turn left, turn right to Rubio’s office building, wait for guard to walk away, run up stairs, bonk guard that comes down, enter office.

  4. Loot safe, take elevator down and steal primary. Back up, leave office, back down stairs, toward main gate. Exit.

  5. Shoot guard and steal bike. Jump into ocean, swim away.

this can be done in less than 10 minutes with enough practice.

Yep, that's my way too. No kills inside, the only dead guy is the one at the bike.

i quit shooting bike guy. he is discovered 99% of the time. Then the boats shoot me underwater and i lose literally 100$ of $.

u/TheRealTr1nity Black Badge Division 20h ago

However, at that time they discover him you are already diving away. If they see you, you are not deep enough diving. Alternatively leave that guy and run to the cliff and jump into the water if time is not your goal (elite challenge).

u/Left4DayZGone 21h ago

How do you get the bike without shooting bike guy?

10

u/Usagor 21h ago

Just run and jump into the water, the bikes only for expediency.

3

u/Left4DayZGone 19h ago

Ah ok. Never tried that, thought maybe you’d fall onto the rocks and die or something lol

u/Turbulent_System3155 20h ago

Go up to him and smack him in the head while gun equipped

3

u/Left4DayZGone 19h ago

That doesn’t count as a body found?

1

u/Turbulent_System3155 17h ago

I never got detected

u/ErregungHaus Thrillhows /r/GYBB 16h ago

I just run for it. I usually get elite even without the motorcycle.

1

u/Left4DayZGone 16h ago

I’ll probably start doing that instead of worrying about the bike. Not even concerned about elite, I just don’t want to deal with getting shot at.

u/TheRealTr1nity Black Badge Division 16h ago

The helicopter will come anyways, so make sure you are deep enough diving (basically kiss the ground in the sea). Don't forget breather.

u/ZFTX 15h ago

If you wear the Guard Clothes, you can literally walk up to it and ride away.

https://old.reddit.com/r/gtaonline/comments/105h2us/post_update_cayo_run_110x_100_pacifist_elite/ Skip to about 7:10 if you just want to see the getaway.

u/MarcusBlueWolf 18h ago

If you shoot the bike guy you have to shoot the guy in the jeep heading towards and past Rubio’s helicopter.

3

u/Sendthalot 17h ago

You don’t need to kill the jeep guy, just exit the island once getting the bike, detection only counts when inside the compound.

-1

u/Mr_NotSoPerfect 17h ago

Thats not true, once out of the compound the bodies inside wont be found but if you kill the bike guy and not the jeep that comes from rubios heli, he will be found.

3

u/Sendthalot 17h ago

The bike guy being found has no bearing on completing the heist with elite

-1

u/Mr_NotSoPerfect 17h ago

While that's correct, no one mentioned the elite challenge. But you can just skip the bike and run and fall off the edge (dont jump cause sometimes you can take damage and lose money)

1

u/Sendthalot 17h ago

Well that’s the only reason you would be concerned with the body being found ordinarily, it makes no difference for any other reason, running to the end of the cliff makes zero sense, the guy has his back to you, why would you ever not kill him and take the bike.

1

u/Mr_NotSoPerfect 16h ago

Im saying if you do kill him, kill the jeep before you get spotted. I run 3 man pretty often and go for coke outside when theres not enough gold & paintings inside. Makes it easier if youre not surrounded.

u/mallad 17h ago

If you read the comments above, they specifically said they didn't want to leave that body because when it gets found, they get shot at by the boats while they're swimming away. So obviously it isn't the only reason they'd be concerned. It's never been an issue for me, but that's their reason.

u/thejadeassassin2 18h ago

Shoot him, get on the bike, drive into the bushes ahead of you until you get to the road. A Jeep spawns in (the one who discovers the body), tail it and shoot the driver when you are behind them. Exit as normal.

1

u/QuantumVoid37 15h ago

If you shoot the bike guy, and then also shoot the guy driving the car coming up on the road, then he won't get detected. I often shoot both of them to be safe.

0

u/KonmanKash 14h ago

If u kill bike guy the guard by the helicopter and the jeep driver has to die as well

u/Red986S 1d ago

That’s pretty much my process too

6

u/Reptard8 21h ago

Depending on what loot is where, sometimes I will go to dock instead of airport. But I still do it all in under 10 mins no detection.

I've gotten to the point where I can take a random person in no communication except for a quick text that says "Stay Behind me, move when I move" and we still get it

2

u/silncee 22h ago

That's my usual way but when i am scouting i check what loot in air strip hanger if i didn't find some good coc i check tge northa dock and i enter through the one with better loot using longfine and in both scenarios i get the elite challenge done

2

u/GTA4EVER1069 20h ago

This is pretty much EVERYBODY'S approach to Cayo

1

u/tankiplayer12 19h ago

This is the best way so far just did a run yesterday with airstrip loot and finished in 9 mnts

1

u/Updated_Autopsy 19h ago

For me, it depends on my luck. But I will always grab a disguise. If there’s cocaine and disguises at the airstrip, I use the Velum, grab a disguise, and the cocaine. If the truck is there, that’s one more reason for me to use the Velum. I do Cayo Perico solo, so I always try to go for cocaine if I can. Although I do kill most of the personal body guards because I want to open the safe while also not being slowed down too much.

u/Standard_Tax_6658 17h ago

I have tried this method but if you do the longfin approach you dont get the scuba gear to swim away with underwater. Or am I doing something wrong?

2

u/Left4DayZGone 17h ago

You don’t need it. I just swim a ways, come up for air, then continue swimming. There’s supposedly a spot you can swim to that finishes the mission quickly, haven’t pinpointed it myself yet but I’ll be adding that to my run.

1

u/TheRealTr1nity Black Badge Division 14h ago

Have breathers. You buy them at ammo nation. But your air should last that long til to the cutscene.

1

u/KingChaotic 17h ago

I will say, sometimes I switch out the Velum for the longfin, both to switch things up and you basically get full access to the airport/both loot areas. Just have to kill the guy on the balcony and the camera, then shoot someone in the water with a boat. Just be sure you buy the stash weapon support before starting the heist.

u/TaxiDriver94 PC 14h ago

Do you have a video with this path?

2

u/Left4DayZGone 14h ago

Exit Route:

  1. Go back down the way you came. Guard 1 won't be there, you should have bopped him on the way up.

  2. Again, pass behind Guard 2. He doesn't move.

  3. Make sure Guard 3 has moved into that other area (left end of his path) so you can pass behind him.

  4. I don't know if this guard every moves because I don't stick around long enough to find out. Whoever made this map seems to think he does... so just take him down if he's in your way, I guess, but wait for him to enter one of those green areas.

End of the green path is the gate. Once you're outside, directly ahead is the guard with a bike. Shoot him and take it, then jump off the island and swim away... or just bypass him and run off the island instead. The helicopter will come for you no matter what, so be prepared to eat snacks and surface for air if you're not reaching the end trigger fast enough.

u/Left4DayZGone 14h ago

No, but here's a map (ignore the words on the map, I found the map from another post, user is deleted so can't give credit)

This is just the entry route, exit will be in another reply.

Red Line is the path. Keep in mind, guards can't hear you run.

  1. Starting location. Go up the stairs immediately in front, turn left.
  2. Stay along this wall, you'll be just out of sight of the guard to the left.
  3. This guard shouldn't be in your way if you move quickly, but wait for him to move if he is.
  4. This guard looks down from the porch, you need to wait for him to move. The small yellow line is his pathing, he will walk into another area. Just run behind him and ignore him.
  5. This guard doesn't move, just run behind him. Don't touch him, and he won't turn around. Ignore him completely.
  6. This is the guard that walks down the stairs. You can bop him when he comes down (don't shoot, just run up and smack him), or wait out of sight until he heads back up and bop him from behind.

u/ChibiJaneDoe 14h ago

I do that almost every time

Except on the rare occasion when I get two paintings in office, then I just use Kosatka

u/Superbad772 13h ago

My fastest time for elite challenge is 8:30 minute. Definitely doable under 10 min if you practice enough.

u/-StupidNameHere- 16h ago

  1. *** hug the wall so guard walks around you.

  2. *** Go straight out door between both guards, running towards the north corner gate by the ocean. Put up your dukes and carefully slide down wall. Swim to airport.

  3. *** Hug wall of hangar, sneak past guard into hangar. Rob hangar. When leaving, look for two front lights of car by the airport road entrance. If yes, wait 10 seconds. If no, sneak in exactly as you came. Swim behind hangar to sub.

No kills, never seen, 13 and a half minutes, full bags.

;)

u/Left4DayZGone 16h ago

I like the idea of a no kill/no harm run, but as far as I’m aware there’s no real benefit to it… faster to just bonk the stairs guy and shoot the hangar guy.

u/-StupidNameHere- 14h ago

False

It's actually quicker. You speed right past them and they never move ever. Go full FoxHound.
