Within the context of the Cayo Perico Heist in Grand Theft Auto Online, supplemental valuables located throughout the island represent opportunities for increased profit beyond the primary objective. These items, ranging from cash and gold to artwork and drugs, can be collected by players during the heist’s reconnaissance and execution phases. A thorough exploration of the island during scoping missions allows players to mark the locations of these valuables, streamlining their collection during the heist itself.
Accumulating these additional assets contributes significantly to the overall payout of the heist. The potential for greater rewards incentivizes thorough planning and efficient execution, adding a layer of strategic depth to the gameplay. This aspect of the heist also encourages replayability, as the locations and types of supplementary loot available can vary. The availability of these optional objectives reflects a design philosophy emphasizing player agency and reward for thoroughness.
