GTA Online: Step-by-Step Guide to Claim Your Prize
Step 1: Access Your Kosatka Submarine
First things first—you need the Kosatka submarine to launch the Cayo Perico Heist. If you don’t own one yet, purchase it from Warstock Cache & Carry. Already have it? Enter the submarine and head to the control center.
Important: Register as a CEO or MC President before starting. If you have an active heist, either complete it or cancel to start fresh. Remember, you can only steal the Panther Statue once during this event week.
Step 2: Scout El Rubio’s Compound
Launch the scouting mission and fly to Cayo Perico island. Your objective is to locate the communication tower and hack into El Rubio’s CCTV network. Once inside the system, cycle through camera feeds until you reach the basement view—that’s where you’ll spot the glittering Panther Statue.
This reconnaissance confirms the statue as your primary target and sets up your lucrative payday.
Step 3: Complete Setup Missions
After scouting, finish the standard preparation work:
- Gather intel on entry points and escape routes
- Acquire necessary equipment and weapons
- Plan your infiltration approach
- Choose your exit strategy
Step 4: Execute the Heist and Collect
Once preparations are complete, it’s showtime! Infiltrate El Rubio’s compound, grab the Panther Statue from the basement vault, and make your escape. Successfully completing the heist nets you the statue’s massive value plus a $100,000 bonus and the exclusive Strickler Hat.
Pro Tips for Maximum Profit
Solo or crew? The Panther Statue works perfectly for solo players, though coordinating with a crew can speed up secondary loot collection. Choose the drainage tunnel entry for stealth or go loud—the choice is yours.

FAQs
Can I get the Panther Statue multiple times this week?
No, you can only obtain the Panther Statue once during the November 6-12 event period in GTA Online. After stealing it successfully, subsequent heists will feature different primary targets until the next time Rockstar brings it back.
Do I need to complete the heist on hard mode to get the bonus rewards?
No, both normal and hard difficulty modes grant the $100,000 bonus cash and Strickler Hat. However, hard mode offers an extra $190,000 from the statue itself, making it worth the increased challenge if you’re an experienced player.
