GTA Online offers a plethora of criminal activities for players to engage in, with heists being among the most thrilling. You can rob banks, infiltrate government buildings, steal from the Diamond Casino, or even stop a rogue AI. Generally, the game boasts a diverse range of heists to choose from.
While most heists require a team of two to four players, disappointing those who prefer solo play or lack friends to team up with, the Cayo Perico Heist offers a unique solution. It can be completed entirely solo, providing a thrilling experience for those who enjoy playing alone.
The Cayo Perico Heist offers a variety of approaches and can be replayed multiple times, allowing players to earn substantial profits from different runs. Yet, one GTA Online player found the heist wasn’t as profitable as expected. A recent post on the GTA Online subreddit by user Competitive_Divide59 showed that the player ended up with a $-1 payout from their Cayo Perico run. No, it's not a mistake—the player actually ended up one dollar poorer from the heist.
$-1 payout from the Cayo Perico heist
Although you can finish the Cayo Perico heist in just 12 minutes, a $-1 payout seems like it could be a prank from a modder. Competitive_Divide59 explained that they experienced this issue on the console version of GTA Online, so it’s probably a glitch that can be fixed by contacting Rockstar Support. While the player might feel ripped off, the situation sparked some funny comments. One person joked that Mr. Rubio (the main target of the heist) finally went bankrupt, and another joked that Competitive_Divide59 did drop their wallet during the heist.
Competitive_Divide59’s $-1 payout from the Cayo Perico heist is a rare and amusing event in GTA Online. More importantly, it shows that the game still has a lively and engaged player base, despite its age and quirks. It’s not clear yet how much GTA 6's online mode will improve things, but hopefully, players won’t encounter such strange issues with mission payouts.
