GTA Online Players Dread Incoming Cayo Perico Nerf Following Announcement of New Heist Challenge

Rockstar Games has assigned the GTA Online community a mighty task for November as the title concludes its 2024. We now have a brand-new community Heist Challenge calling for gamers to steal $20 trillion GTA$ before the end of the month from a variety of activities.

If the community manages to pull this off, Rockstar will release brand-new cosmetics and a vehicle next month. While the rewards are quite exciting, some players are worried that it means another round of Cayo Perico nerfs.

GTA Online Community Fears More Nerfs For Cayo Perico

For making money in GTA Online, Rockstar has provided plenty of different avenues. You can do in-game jobs, participate in special events, own a business, and sell vehicles. However, nothing comes close to the amount one can make from heists, particularly the Cayo Perico one.

Rockstar dropped the Cayo Perico heist back in 2020, and to this day, it’s still the biggest earner for every grinder. However, it’s a shell of its former self. The heist was so busted that developers nerfed its payout to oblivion in 2023. The majority of the community was frustrated with these changes.

They want $20 trillion from us……Hmm

With the latest heist challenge that tasks the community to steal a combined $20 trillion, gamers are worried that this might mean additional nerfs for Cayo Perico. The last time we had such a challenge, Rockstar immediately nerfed the fan favorite heist.

Even though Cayo Perico isn’t as profitable as it used to be, it will still be the ultimate way for players to complete this challenge.

Many in the community believe that Rockstar is conducting this challenge to figure out the methods for making money in GTA Online so that they can be nerfed to obvilion and push Sharkcard sales.

Let’s hope Rockstar doesn’t ruin Cayo Perico again. It’s currently the only way for a solo player to make big money in the game right now. If Rockstar really wants to nerf its payout again, the next-big job it’s planning to introduce with the game’s annual winter update must compensate in some way or another. 

Rockstar is Finally Bringing Current-Gen Features for GTA Online Players

GTA 5 is a game that has been released multiple times over the past decade and is available pretty much every new console under the sun since the Xbox 360 and PS3. However, you might be shocked to know that the best way to experience the title isn’t on PC.

Originally debuting on PC in 2015 with its own features, the PC version of the game was later overshadowed by “Expanded and Enhanced,” released in 2022 for Xbox Series S/X and PS5. Gamers couldn’t help but wonder when the current-gen version of the title would be brought to PC, and the wait is finally over.

Last week, Rockstar Games shared its latest community update for GTA Online and revealed a bunch of features coming in the next few months, including the much-requested Xbox Series and PlayStation features for the PC platform.

The Expanded and Enhanced variants of GTA Online bring a wealth of content that has been locked for the current-gen consoles, such as Premium Test Ride, Hao’s Special Works, Career Build and Progress, and much more.

With that said, do you think Rockstar is planning to nerf Cayo Pierco once again in GTA Online? Let us know in the comments below.
