I remember when I first started and got the kosatka I didn't know it had a dingy attached to it, so I literally swam to and from it when doing set up missions 😂 I feel like such a noob now thinking back to how much more difficult I made it for myself 😂

Also, in the back of the Kosatka, there are several free weapon pickups. So don't forget to check the back as in the engine room, torpedo storage area, and also the pipes in the shadow area

Personally I'd rather buy the agency and complete the Dre contract to get the million dollars. I bought the Kosatka when it first arrived in the game and I completed the Cayo Perico Heist over and over again for months until I was burned out and I haven't played it since. If you are someone who loves doing the heist that's ok, there are so many ways to earn cash in this game now.

If you get 2 stars when you steal a car...like you did in the banshee... it means it is a Simeon car.

The extra money was the first time completion bonuses. Am on a new account having just got an Xbox so i'm going through this as well and following these videos. I am part of a crew on PC, but don't have that luxury right now on xbox so doing these things solo has a different take to it. Suggestion for others following this: get a compact grenade launcher early on. Not expensive and will do wonders for clearing out stash houses, sometimes in one shot. Bounce grenade off wall and into the lower floor and back up the stairs to avoid the blast. Also will clear the safe house in one shot but if you use it there, exit the safe house for a few seconds as it will start a major fire in there.

It's not newbie friendly at all the enemies are like Terminators so if you're a new player do not get the Kosatka sub until you level up your character and have more experience in the game Taco you're forgetting that you have all that experience of doing the heist new players will get frustrated and delete the game and refuse to play it again Contact missions are the way to go especially when they are 2x money and rp and races and the adversary modes don't jump in the deep end of a pool if you cannot swim

In today's video we get the Kosatka! My favorite business as i'm sure you all already know! This will be the start to our Empire!

When taking the phantom wedge to pick up the trailer, after connecting the truck to the trailer just get out and let the cops kill you. You and the truck will respawn outside of the police station with no more wanted level. Then you can just drive back in peace. Don't even need the phantom wedge this way.

The one regret I have about my fresh account is I didn't grind Cayo until I found SFT that would have been so much faster than just bunker and hanger.

Great video as always! I read here someone used to swim from Kosatka to the shore and I did the exact same thing when I first bought it 😂 I do remember doing every single preparation every time even tho I didn't needed it I thought it is required. It usually took me around 2 hours to do one Cayo Perico Heist and now around 30 minutes. You are doing an excellent job with these videos!

All hail the sparrow😂

Hey to fix your mini map after you get out of your sub press down on d pad until you get all the lobby stuff off and it should go back to normal size. I have to do it all the time 😅 (doesn’t happen all the time though)

Dude glad I joined the membership. Thanks for the frequent uploads

1st time bonus available for the full scope out award. 1 time at least, scope everything you can. If you get 25 loot items, every entry and exit option pictured. You get a 1st time award badge.

$100K was first ever completion, $200K was for first elite completion

I wish I had started playing years ago, when the Cayo heist was so much better. I missed out on the golden days :(

I am not a beginner but this will help me in my gta online experience

The Kosatka is still by a very long margin, the best solo business you can have. Great missions, great pay, good fun.

I just want to say a big thank you for creating such helpful content but for also making it so darn entertaining at the same time. Your reactions to things not going to plan or griefers is hilarious.

I used to hate the Meriweather HQ weapons missions as well, but then I figured out that they are actually a lot easier than you may think. They're no 707 Vespucci, but they can be less annoying than Schlonbergs having only one decent landing spot. You don't have to follow the helicopter. Just spawn it, then go check out the 3 potential spawn locations and you clear it before the helicopter makes it. If you have the sparrow it's even easier.

I did my first solo Cayo heist yesterday, but this video is in time to help me out with my second run lol. I agree that if you save up to get the Kosatka with the sparrow, it's totally worth it. Just having the sparrow makes doing everything else easier.

Been lovin' these daily uploads lately. Keep up the good work with this series. Kinda addicting.

As a new player i just want to thank you for making these, just recently pucked up the game when it became free with the PlayStation Plus membership and i can say that these videos had helped me reached level 100 and to know which businesses to get 😊

During the Hiest Intel for the Cayo Perico Hiest I always take the water near the airstrip to get to the commutation tower easier without getting caught from the security cameras or Gards

Thank you so much for this guide! Please don’t stop I look forward to it every time!

I started a few days ago my fist gta online acc and this gide is so good thank u very much❤

love this series can wait for the new episodes, this is coming from a returned player looking for ways to play the game and seeing all the changes the game have.

Love the beginners guide so much. I check yt everyday only for ur videos. Keep it up, king!

Begginer tip if you want a helicopter call Merriweather and kill the pilot then you have a helicopter until you destroy it or change sessions

Yo thank u so so much I’m only two days in and I have the sparrow and sub thank u so much😂❤

Commenting from the year 2750. Still no gta vi, auto shop is still not fixed. This series was helpful tho. Can’t wait for everyone else to see how it ends. Keep up the good work Taco!

Set up a second account and grinded until i had enough to buy the kosatka, leaving me with about 50 grand. Did my first heist prep with a dinghy and a motorbike! Fun times!

I need a minor tutorial on the next episode on how to park the kosatka right where you have it because I could never get it that far at all! I have so many times! But love this series and when I'm not watching these I'm watching the "spin the wheel cayo perico version" lol loving it mate!

The Merryweather HQ mission is the reason I always do the weapons load out set up first, that way I haven't moved my Kosatka into a nice location for the rest of the set ups yet. (But I also own the guided missiles so I can, if I want, just use that to blow up the chopper and fail the mission while remaining in the same lobby with my Kosatka parked where I parked it, it's much of muchness doing that or jumping lobbies, it takes roughly the same amount if time.)

I think i know why he started off with the kosatka. Because some of the preps aren't really that hard that pushes your thoughts of buying a heist vehicle. As long as you have great and powerful vehicles like the deluxo which i mostly recommend players to get 100%, other vehicles like the vigilante also would be a sufficient option

21:59 Thanks for the tip!!!😂😂

I did a Cayo run yesterday and my boat drifted off, so I had to swim from the airstrip to the drainage tunnel. Needless to say, I did not get the elite challenge that time.

i’ve watched this series as a level 30 something, complete noob 😂 definitely taking notes!!! i’m an adult female, do other adults play this game? it’s hard to tell as no one really talks in pubic lobbies, and i mainly only here what sound like teenage boys on mic 😬 😭

I started a new guy and started with the freakshop. I didn't even get a car until I finished the second dose. So I have one car and am working on fooligan missions. I got the one where you have to fly the crop duster... Ugh I kept falling asleep while flying those garbage planes. I easily crashed 4 of them. By the time I got to the destroy tanker I timed out the mission. Good times.

Tipps: 21:45 - You can just kill yourself or get killed by the cops and you free 23:40 - You can exactly tell where the guy with the safe code is gonna be, depends on the guards infront of the room before you enter the penthouse: Right wall guards = Code guy is in the bed room to your right when you enter Bottom wall guards = Code guy is in the Party room Top wall guards = Code guy is in the Office in the middle 47:15 - The additional money is for completing the Awards for the Cayo perico Heist (Pause menu - stats - awards) Great content :)

The 200K was a first time bonus and the 100K i think is for one of the challenges or whatever they're called so you made over 1.8 million which is a good payout. As for the wanted level you probably took a Simeon car which explains why you got a two star wanted level for no reason you could have delivered it for a bit of extra cash but it's all good.

I really like how you posted the next episode asap awesome makes my life faster and better

Also man with the weapons load out mission you don't need to kill everyone, you only need to kill 5 of them, the first and second one you killed, then go to the left and kill the 2 standing to the left of the lounge area and finally kill the guy behind the desk, that's it, the rest won't be alerted that you're there, the stealth is extremely bugged on this mission.

17:58 Before starting and setting up the entire heist, this is what i always do. When i was a level 13 in 2022 august

Well I still remember how I do all the drug war mission on a blue bicycle, is funnier for honestly😂.

It is entertaining watching you mislead the noobs lol nah seriously you doing great mate. 😊

5:18 not nubby friendly I have alerted guards so many times in my first try Even after watching guide on KZfaq

if you park your MK2 on the front between the shaft and the door, it will stay there for 5 mins, so you can use it to do the set up missions faster,... just dont leave it on top and afk, it will go in the ocean... slowly

Another great video! Keep up the awesome content bro!

Hoping for helicopters and them de-spawning is not a problem if you get in contact with Lester (L on the map). Some time after that he is a contact on your phone. You can call him to get a helicopter, plane, car, boat when needed. I use him all the time now as a new low level, other phone contacts can also get you cars etc.

If the torch cutter mission is locked for you: redo the gather intel mission with a rebreather and dive under water behind the mansion to scout it.

Thank u so much for showing me how get the drainage tunnel for the entry

I'm just wondering why you didn't run around in the KOSATKA and collect all the guns in it. Like the one on the shelves behind the counter where you got the snacks.

If you forget to buy acid lab supplies you can just call Mutt to resupply without actually going back to the lab

God just a tad over a year ago i started playing online and it was bloody hard to get cash which as you know rockstar doesn't like people making money, now level 370 with 900 million in the bank way over 2/300 car's all the businesses ect. Once again thanks for the video mate 👍🏻

acid lab is the easiest way to make money for new players,... easy sell, easy grind, just perfect for new players... the missions are a gift/easy... if i was starting of again, i would start with acid lab... i'm level 850 and thats my opinion.... (why say my level?, so use now i played along time, and from my experience, thats my opinion, the acid lab is best for new players .)

create two characters, do the dax missions on both and you will basically have the Kotsaka plus a grinding alt with a fast car.

You deserve every 1 of us and more 🥳👍

25:47 I swear i did not know that you could park your kosatka over here. Also this location is one of the pegasus helicopter spawn location

Cayo Perico heist is the most fun and best money maker, love it so much

I love your videos sometimes i laugh when you yell to the game 🤣

Hey Taco, love your vids. Don't forget about the weapons that are in the Kosatka, I was willing you to turn around and grab the molotov from the kitchen table 😂

I apologize about my previous content I used other videos to fill in the blanks and now I’m loaded thank you

I am probably sounding like a noob and everyone already knows this but I found $25,000 at the end of the runway at Cayo, guess it’s one of 10 treasure chests. Really easy $25K one time only

Literally waited the whole day for that video! Thanks for your videos Taco! ❤

This is great mate thanks 😁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Personally for me Grinding Dr. Dre contract is more fun and meanwhile you can also do Payphone hits and Security Contracts ❤

Personally I would get more weapons and ammunition before hand but definitely now you have the kosatka and sparrow

Hey taco! I’m sure you know but it’s only 10k to move your kosatka the first time. After that it’s 2k…another banger video man!

I don’t notice glitches much, but cop/wanted glitches like the one at 25:15 have been annoyingly noticeable and common for me since I’ve stated playing again a couple of weeks ago.

Maybe demonstrate.. How to, park the Kosatka up the Vespucci canal along side the Vespucci Helipad Tours.. Being that there's a particular way on how to do this & this helps when doing the setup missions.

I reproduced the no alert firearm load out… sh00t from behind the glass door, then walk through and get the rest. No alerts.

I think agency is better, not for payment or time. With the kosatka you can only do cayo heist and when it is in cooldown, you can not make money with it. But you have security contracts and payphone hits between two dr.dre vip mission, also passive income.

I always do the thing where I go to the beach with kosatka then race the kosatka to beach surface and then take the prep mission and ride out with sparrow 🤔

Always amused at the naysayers regarding Cayo Perico. Easiest and quickest 1M PLUS with the time and effort it takes is unrivaled. These are the same people that cried at Tequila when we got average 1.4M, even tho now I still average 1.1 to 1.2M after nerfs. Northern Dock is an awesome entry point as a solo player since you can get into the shed that typically takes 2 people to open. I've gotten 2 Cokes there many times now, or Coke/Weed combo. Hanger is also my other main targeted area. Both entry points use the Longfin. I've even hit both spots to get 2 Cokes and still drive the boat to the drainage tunnel and get in and out with Elite completed. Agency is great for the Payphone Hits. Which will be even easier once you get that Sparrow. Dr. Dre Contract is long winded, and as a new player, they're not going to have the weaponry to deal with the endless onslaught bs that takes you through. Not to mention Cayo takes 5 quick missions, Dre shit has 9 phone recovery missions plus additional missions just to complete the shit. Now all you need is something to grind inbetween cooldowns and waiting for product in the Acid Lab. It's interesting because you're doing exactly what I'd be doing if I started new again. Except you should be hitting the casino wheel just incase you can snag something for free or get alittle extra cash. And even though the situation would be different from now to someone nee in the future, I'd still recommend they grind out anything x2 that's free that week. This week its Simeons, but there's usually always something going on they could take advantage of to get that extra kick. Just my opinion tho.

Please make more of these series

you can call a helicopter when you call merryweather

Woke up this morning and saw 150k so awesome you are one of the greatest GTA5 KZfaqrs. Are you gonna continue making GTA5 content when GTA6 comes out?

When I first got my KOSATKA I used to get lost all of the time trying to find my way around the sub. It was so confusing.

Hello can u tell me which keyboard key we need to use to request sparrow from interaction menu in PC Because i tried using the left mouse click but it kept changing the vehicle not spawning it!!

Starting your drug Empire cause I mean let's admit we always like well not like physically we can't physically choose this but I'm sure our character you know takes a little bit of that cocaine and weed and all that other stuff and gives it to the kosatka or take it to the kosatka and then gives it to pavel and are characters party when we're off also the best thing to do for the longfin approach is figure out where all of the Long fins or no all of the Phantom wedged spawns are and then memorize them because I've memorized all of them and then they go to them before I go to the police station because it will actually spawn to you just collect it and then go police station starts going back and forth

Guys, Grind cayo perico and agency for 1 month and then enjoy the game peacefully buying all you need

Using the cluckin bell replay glitch you should be able to get it in the first hour

Thanks for awesome series. I'm helping my son to get started, and use this serie. However, when we get to Club we are stopped of a guard when trying to reach the cutscene you mention in the beginning of the video. It says we need to be VIP and therefor buy a Penthouse. Did we miss something?

I do the longfin last so when i find a new session and return to the kasatka i dont have to fast travel again just start the finale

Extra money is for completing awards. Go to stats, awards, cayó. First time awards can get you a lot of money 😅

When you steal the Longfin, it’s quicker to get out and suicide to lose the cops.

Union depository heist if you go right towards the get away car all those police cars are locked

On the Longfin approach, i usually pick up the boat, make my way outta the police station and commit suicide, that way i loose all the wanted level Instantly as soon as i respawn

Great video! HOWEVER... 🤪 At 12:50-13:10, you say you will show how to get past on foot. But you jump from outside (tower on left) to inside (tower behind on right) where you pick up the ATV. I did make it through the fence, and then got caught. 🤔🐒 If the intent is to leave the solution as an exercise for the student, that's fair. Thanks!

YOu should really use the hatchet a lot more, since you dont hvae many weapon options, its actually the best one.

hardest thing about Cayo has to be secondary loot especially if the airports empty hahaha. p.s I just started playing again

You probably got the 2 stars again because the Banshee was on Simeon's list.

16:53 This is the reason why i tell EVERYBODY FOR THOSE STARTING OFF AS A LEVEL 5!!!!! JUST GET THE FREE CEO OFFICE!!!😄😄

A question about the chop shop. Has anyone ever had a towed car pay nothing when it was salvaged? While I was playing today I got this message: Salvage Yard: The Schafter has been salvaged $0

32:42 that mission is glitched. you can blast your way through almost without regard and they never notice

U r better t get the homming missiles cause it comes in handy for blowing helicopter up on the weapon set up at merryweather

Hello am hope you all have a great day and ready too watch taco play😊

anyone know why in my equipments there is no cutting torch? it just says its locked

I've done the get weapons for Cayo ""silently"" while using the mini gun. The guys hearing is comically bugged, I hope they never fix it.
