Discovering the hidden treasures of Cayo Perico can be an exhilarating experience in Grand Theft Auto V Online, especially when you're hunting for the elusive gold. The island, once a haven for rum runners and pirates, is filled with tales of buried treasure, waiting to be unearthed by today's suave heisters. Here's a comprehensive guide to help you find the shiniest gold locations on Cayo Perico.
Before you embark on this treasure hunt, ensure you have the Cayo Perico Heist update. This Expansion Pack, added as part of the GTA Online Diamond Casino Heist update, unlocks access to the expansive, tropical island and its wealth of secrets. So, let's dive into the island's golden depths.
The Main Gold Stash: Ugarte's Safe
Ugarte's grand estate is a goldmine, literally. Hidden within is a safe containing a substantial amount of gold bullion. Here's how to access it:
First, navigate your way to Ugarte's estate. You'll find it marked on your map as a large, fortified compound. Once you've infiltrated the grounds, make your way to the main house and head upstairs. The safe is located in Ugarte's personal study, behind a painting.
Cracking the Safe
To crack the safe, you'll need to solve a combination puzzle. The combination is hidden in a nearby wine room, displayed on a label of a specific bottle of wine. Once you've deciphered the code, input it into the safe and revel in the glory of your newfound gold.
Remember, Ugarte's estate is heavily guarded, both by his men and the local law enforcement. Use stealth, hacking, or brute force to overcome these obstacles and secure your gold.
The Egg for the Maiumetic Security System
To make your heist even more lucrative, steal the 'Egg' from the Maiumetic Security System. This item will grant you additional gold upon completion of the Cayo Perico heist. To obtain it:
Head to the northern part of the compound, where you'll find the Maiumetic Security Building. Infiltrate it and navigate to the security room. The 'Egg' is located on a pedestal, protected by a security laser. Use your hacks to disable the laser or your stealth skills to avoid detection and snatch the prize.
The Gold Bars around Cayo Perico
Scattered around Cayo Perico are several gold bars, waiting for intrepid treasure hunters like you. Here are two of the most lucrative locations:
Underwater Gold
One such treasure trove resides underwater, near the northern shore. Dive into the crystal clear waters and swim towards the sunken ship. prize is located within a chest, surrounded by sharks! Use your submarine or a swift, stealthy swim to avoid unwanted attention and claim your gold.
Additional underwater gold can be found near the western shore, within an abandoned pirate cave. The gold is hidden within a chest, guarded by a trigger-happy pirate skeleton. Hack its shotgun to discard the threat and collect your reward.
The Pristine Peaks of Mount Chiliad
For those who prefer their treasure hunting on dry land, another stash can be found atop Mount Chiliad. Climb the precarious, rock-strewn paths to the summit and search for a chest containing a sizable chunk of gold. Be wary of the steep drop-offs and the ever-vigilant hawks circling above.
The path to the summit is narrow and treacherous, so ensure you're well-rested and stocked up on healing items before embarking on this climb.
There you have it – a comprehensive guide to finding the golden delights hidden within Cayo Perico. Happy hunting, and may your pockets always be heavy with ill-gotten gains.
