Week 1 (July 30–August 5): the classic heists

The Panther Statue is the most valuable prize in the Cayo Perico Heist. Completing the Finale that week also unlocks the Panther Tour Jacket.

Our take
Week two is the big one: the million for logging in is free, and a guaranteed Panther Statue turns your first Cayo Perico run into one of the most lucrative heists in the game. Week one is ideal for anyone who has never done the original heists; a 60%-off Armored Kuruma makes the Pacific Standard far easier. And with A Superyacht Life at double pay (on top of the 50% boost it got in May), the yacht at 60% off has never made more sense.
