Weekly Event (6th Nov 2025) - Post-Halloween Cayo Perico Action Begins with Panther Statue Availability, Bonuses on Cayo Perico Motor Wars, Buried Stashes, Rewards & More!

[Spider-Vice]

This week and until 12th November... the Halloween hangover is here, and while you determine whether everything you saw was real or not, El Rubio is at arms with a whole situation of his own. The Panther State is up for grabs, his island becomes a target for all-out war, plus treasure in there is bringing in double rewards, the Community Race Series is on bonus, and more...

Cayo Perico Becomes Prime-Target for Robbery, Plus All-Out War, Stash Bonuses and Community Race Series Bonuses

What happened last month? A lot of people in Los Santos are still questioning exactly what all of that was, if they were drugged by some major player in Los Santos who enacts mind-control over everyone, or if they actually saw and experienced all of the things. We'll not know for another year, or at least until some people move on over to Leonida to try and escape the madness, but we can speculate and let the conspiracy theorists get a hand on it...

As we clock over to November in Los Santos, things slowly turn back to normal, and ghosts of Novembers past echo in the air, as El Rubio has a challenge in his hands... or multiple. Those trying to infiltrate his island for the first time this week will see something special - Juan Strickler's prized Panther Statue as a robbery target. It's time to return to the tropical island of Cayo Perico for some action, whether that's robbing said Statue, or going back to the warzone that it's about to become with the return of Cayo Perico Motor Wars. Alternatively, you can also rob his buried stashes for double the cash and RP, or participate in the Community Race Series back in Los Santos for an easy shot of octanes straight into your blood.

 

 

• Guaranteed Panther State in the Cayo Perico Heist, when doing it for the first time this week
• 2x GTA$ and RP on Buried Stashes
• 2x GTA$ and RP on Cayo Perico Motor Wars

Miscellaneous

FIB Priority File

Every week, Jodi Marshall finds a special opportunity for those enrolled in her machinations at Lester's old Garment Factory. They pay better, and you still stop whatever CEO, mogul or military outfit from doing their thing! The current active Priority FIB file is The Project Breakaway File.

 

Salvage Yard Vehicles & Robberies

Each week, Jamal and Yusuf Amir find some brand-new vehicles for you to source for your Chop Shop, and for Jamal to perhaps plaster all over Snapmatic and other social media. This week, check out the following propositions, with a claimable one this week:

• The McTony Robbery: Toundra Panthere

• The Gangbanger Robbery: Annis Hellion

• The Cargo Ship Robbery: Annis Euros

 

The Diamond Casino & Resort Lucky Wheel

And suddenly... the weather clears up. The casino is just the same. Folks who lost it all and have been kicked by security have just been blinded by the sun outside. What has happened in the last month? Nobody really knows, but the Diamond's profit has been unaffected all the same - in fact, it's risen. Felipe still needs that boost for his surgeries because the Duggans ain't gonna do it themselves, folks are still robbing the vaults... but not the Podium storage this week. Positives!

Speaking of the Podium, the Lucky Wheel shall never go anywhere even in the face of an apocalypse. Cordyceps can attack, Aperture Science can destroy Los Santos, washed supervillains can try and take over the Casino and it'll just never go anywhere. It's up to you to walk up to it, perform any rituals or prayers as you see fit - perhaps even draw a pentagram to spawn Satan - spin it hard, and earn a chance at winning a Cayo Perico common Mammoth Squaddie.

 

Los Santos Car Meet Prize Ride

The Los Santos Car Meet has been the main hub to show off your rides in Los Santos ever since 2021. With an environment that is sure to get your heart pumping, alongside your lungs with the smell of tyre fumes and petrol, with ample space to test out your rides, there's no going wrong with being a member - and you may even get rewards, like The Prize Ride!

This week, the Prize Ride is a 4x4 that won't disappoint you anywhere from Los Santos, to Cayo Perico and perhaps even to Leonida. A good all-rounder for a lot of things, that you won't regret getting as long as you're good enough at racing:

• Place Top 2 in the LS Car Meet Series, 4 days in a row, to win the Canis Terminus.

 

For testing and/or buying this week:

• Canis Kalahari (R)

• Coil Voltic (R)

• Dinka Verus (R)

 

Hao's Special Works Premium Test Ride (PlayStation 5/Xbox Series/PC Enhanced):

NO UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS?? NOT PLAYING!!! 

[Barrtek]

So seems we wont have any Heist Month Challenge but rather some bonuses for predefined Heist update theme for the week, which is also nice!

by the way, Nero have special place in my heart


one of my first photos i did when i tried go to "virutal photography" in GTA 

[maxon11960]

Tip: If you want to steal the statue on hard difficulty, start Cayo Perico heist before weekly update. If you have active heist right now, leave it until tomorrow. After weekly update complete your active heist and wait for 2.5 hours (if done solo) or 48 minutes (if done in team of 2-4 players). After that, during 48 minutes start another Cayo Perico heist and you'll get your panther statue on hard difficulty. Just a $190,000 difference but still...

The panther statue does seem a fitting reward for all the panthers they forced us to kill in Ludendorff last week.

[GTAVibes]

So are we getting a Heist Month? Or at least bonuses for all the other heists (which I guess is what Heist Month is lol)

So one quick solo Cayo run is a guaranteed minimum $2m ($1.9m for the panther and $100k for the weekly bonus) plus whatever secondary loot is available. I'll take it.

 

Hopefully GTA+ has a decent month long bonus that stacks.

Oh okay, I guess it can still come, but since they also didn’t do a Halloween community challenge this year, I doubt it…. I can’t wait for OG heists to be double money

I'm surprised there's no community challenge this year after we definitely earned the $20 trillion in time last year.

no conquistador or panther trainer outfit?! Grinching out this week!

The Mansions update is not looking good. You'd except some community challenge with a new vehicle or something

Correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t recall R* ever announcing community challenges throughout fan sites

I'm wondering how long R* will wait before the building sites appear and the missions to earn the discount go live.

 

We're probably looking at the 9th or 16th of December for the DLC, the Casino props were in game for around 7 weeks before that DLC launched and we've probably got 5 or 6 weeks left until the December DLC, so I wouldn't have thought they'll wait too much longer to start teasing in game.

Wonder if it drops tomorrow, those hints.

Another fantastic week begins. What a great series of events! I am more than grateful for this. I could write countless words and it would not be enough to express my gratitude.

 

Proverbs 1:19
"Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry."

 

Enjoy, Dear Guys. Have a wonderful week and as always, May Mr. God bless you and your families. Enjoy the upcoming weekend.

 

 

Remember to relax...
