Do the Cayo Perico missions have a public lobby requirement?

[Giantsgiants]

Does anyone know if any part of the Cayo Perico heist has a public lobby requirement?

 

The public lobby requirements in the previous heists was the main reason that turned me off from them. I'd love to know if that's the case with Cayo Perico before I potentially waste $2+ million on a submarine. Thank you.

Nope. Can do absolutely everything in an invite only lobby. From start to finish.

Including the heist itself? I've done one set up so far, but can a finale happen sngularly (with option for support?

Yep, I did absolutely everything solo from an invite only lobby.

What was your take and method?

Erm, ok so went solo. 

 

Chose the sub, and drainage outlet for my entry point. Once in the compound, you basically run past the guards until you get to the building in the middle where you have to enter (one with a yellow keypad). The guards there have red cones, so melee them. Up and into the room with the 2 paintings. Get them. Then go down to the safe and get the documents. On the way out, you hit the main gate because the drainage entrance is sealed up.

 

Just take your time, but it's still pretty fast. Headshot a couple of guards at the main gate and out you go. The next bit I have tried the north exit? But there was a tower guard who kept spotting me so I changed it up to the main docks. Once outside, I legged it, avoiding the cones, and when I got to the boat, I checked to see which guards to take out around it. El Rubios helicopter never came near me. On the boat I was worried because there was no marker, it just said to leave the island. So I drove the boat past the guard boats and out of the map. That was it. I should stress you cannot get caught. Zero alarms. But with a few deaths and practices, it's not hard. An easy 1.4 million all to myself. 

 

Edit: some additional notes, I just did the bare essential prep. No armour, weapons or air support. Also no help on the island. Not sure why, it's all a waste of money and effort when you can basically run it like the DCH S&S.

 

I'm going to time the prep now since I know what I am doing, and work out which is ultimately the best profit margin for a solo player. 

 

Edit 2: above is not possible since the second try is a hard mode, with a new approach. Hmmmmm.

For a drug king pin with a hired army, he seems a bit lax.
