Summary

AGTA Onlineplayer recently completed a Cayo Perico heist run that somehow yielded them a negative payout for their efforts. The Cayo Perico Heist is one of theGTA Onlinecommunity’s all-time favorites for its high replayability and payouts, but it confusingly left one unfortunate player with less money than they started with.

GTA Onlineoffers a vast repertoire of criminal activities for players to engage in, with heists being some of the best. Whether it’s robbing banks, raiding government facilities, looting the Diamond Casino, or saving the world from a rogue AI, players likely won’t be hard-pressed for choice when it comes toGTA Online’s heists. However, most heists inGTA Onlinerequire a team of two to four players, which was protested by many who prefer to play solo or don’t have a group of friends in the game. The Cayo Perico Heist finally addressed these complaints back in December 2020, as it can be played entirely solo from start to finish.

Moreover, theCayo Perico Heist can be approached in numerous waysand is fully replayable, allowing players to accumulate truckloads of cash over multiple runs. For oneGTA Onlineplayer, though, the Cayo Perico heist wasn’t quite as profitable as they may have presumed. In fact, it turned out to be a loss, as a recent post on theGTA Onlinesubreddit from user Competitive_Divide59 shows the player receiving a$-1 payouton their Cayo Perico run. That isn’t a typo, the player did in fact get a negative payout for the heist, which means they came out on the other side one dollar poorer.

GTA Online Player Effectively Charged $1 to Complete Cayo Perico Heist Run

Even though it’s possible tocomplete the Cayo Perico heist in as little as 12 minutes, a payout of $-1 feels very much like a prank played by a modder. Competitive_Divide59 did clarify that they faced this issue on the console version ofGTA Online, so it’s most likelya bugged payoutthat can be rectified by contacting Rockstar Support. Although the player may be feeling shortchanged, the situation did give rise to a lot of amusing comments. One person said that Mr. Rubio (the Cayo Perico Heist’s primary target) finally went bankrupt, and another commenter joked that Competitive_Divide59 dropped their wallet during the heist run.

Competitive_Divide59’s negative Cayo Perico payout is a highly unique instance inGTA Onlinethat’s equal parts unfortunate and hilarious. More importantly, however, it proves thatGTA Onlinestill has a very healthy and active player base that’s largely unfazed by the game’s age and various quirks. It remains to be seen how much of a leapGTA 6’s online modewill be, but one can only hope that players won’t be reporting outright losses from missions.
