In the context of the Cayo Perico Heist in Grand Theft Auto Online, loot other than the primary target (e.g., the Madrazo Files, the Pink Diamond) plays a crucial role. This additional loot, found throughout El Rubio’s compound, includes items such as cash, gold, cocaine, weed, and paintings. The selection of these items is influenced by available storage within the player’s chosen approach vehicles (e.g., the Kosatka submarine, Velum plane) and their carrying capacity. The potential earnings from these secondary targets can significantly impact the overall heist payout, augmenting the primary target’s value.
Maximizing earnings through strategic selection of secondary loot becomes paramount. Players must weigh the value-to-space ratio of each potential target. Gold, for example, offers high value in a compact form, while weed, though less valuable per unit volume, can still contribute significantly to the total haul if space allows. This strategic decision-making adds a layer of planning complexity to the heist. Understanding storage limitations and the distribution of potential loot within El Rubio’s compound are key to maximizing profit. The introduction of secondary targets has enriched the heist experience, rewarding meticulous planning and execution.
