Get ready, thieves and scoundrels of Los Santos! It's a whole new week, which means it is time to put your criminal skills to the test. Rockstar has launched a new month-long Heist Challenge in Grand Theft Auto Online, and honestly, we couldn't ask for anything better (we could—GTA 6—but that's kicking a dead horse).
The challenge begins by sharpening your stealth and teamwork as you take on the compound of the notorious El Rubio on the island of Cayo Perico. This elite criminal hideaway is home to the elusive Panther statue, a golden prize with shimmering blue orbs.
However, the Cayo Perico Heist is just the start. Over the coming weeks, the challenge will escalate, asking players to break into the highly secure vault of the Diamond Casino & Resort, save San Andreas from total annihilation, and pull off a string of intense robberies across the city. The GTA community will need to collectively steal GTA$20 trillion by December 4 to unlock a stockpile of exclusive rewards.
Those brave enough to attempt the Cayo Perico Heist this week will have a few advantages on their side. First, the Panther Statue will be available as the primary target for a limited time, giving players a shot at the ultimate score. Additionally, there's a 30% discount on the essential Kosatka submarine, and completing the heist without dying will earn you the stylish Strickler Hat and a bonus GTA$100,000.
