Cayo Perico Heist: Secondary Targets Guide

Guide to finding all secondary target locations on Cayo Perico, both inside the compound and around the island.

Maximizing your profit from the Cayo Perico Heist involves not only securing the primary target but also filling your loot bag with valuable 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.

These secondary targets include cash, weed, gold, and paintings, and they have a fixed location where they spawn — however, they always spawn in a random order. For details on their values, see our Payouts Guide.

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 all secondary targets if you plan on running this heist solo, as there's only a limited amount of these targets you can carry. It's best to scope out all the targets if you have at least 3 or 4 players doing the heist.

Here are all possible locations for secondary targets found both within El Rubio's compound (via CCTV) and scattered across the island.

Secondary Targets — CCTV (Inside Compound)

All the possible secondary locations found through the CCTV cameras in the compound.

Basement

A highly valuable secondary target shows up in this glass exhibit. This is when you do the heist on hard difficulty. It's in the same basement room as the primary target, the Madrazo Files.

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.

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.

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 (Outside Compound)

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 (Airstrip Warehouse)

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.
