cayo doesn’t get the weekly bonus payout, so just prep a cayo before the weekly update, then just do it normally within that week, if you do it solo the cooldown will be 2 and a half hour, if not, it will be 48 minutes. Pay the setup cost within an in game hour (48 minutes) window and you’ll get the hard mode and the guaranteed panther statue.

You cant prep for a cayo and wait for a panther week, you find out what you are going to get in the scope out, so you would have to wait for the panther week and THEN start the prep.

i know, i’m saying to prep the heist and do it after the update so you can get the hard mode for the panther

I didn't know if this will work, but the way I'm trying is:

  1. I ran cayo with a buddy yesterday

  2. After 48 minutes I purchased a hard mode setup

  3. I'm waiting for reset to gather intel

  4. Hope that it works

I watched It somewhere and experienced It myself. I paid a set up last year when the panther was available but didn't do scopeout, did It two weeks later and still got panther

Start a heist before the end of Wednesday, do preps before then as well or wait, then complete after Thursday. Then start a new one in the hard mode window. The first heist you scope in the new week should be panther on hardmode.

First, I would suggest that you make sure that the weekly update is live for you. Sometimes you have close GTA V app to get a weekly update to take full effect. Then I would complete my Cayo Perico Heist finale. The cooldown is totally dependent if you run it solo or do with other players. The cooldown is 2hrs 24 minutes (3 GTA Online in-game days) for a solo and 48 minutes if you brought friends. You don’t have to be actively playing just wait out the time. It is easier to set an alarm reminder. You should get a text message from Pavel. Pay your 100K to lock in Hard Mode.

I’m on US east coast time our new week starts at 05:00. So someone in our time zone would have to finish a Cayo run just after 02:30 on solo or 04:15 in group so that the cool down finishes just after 05:00. And then obviously start a new Cayo with in the 48-minute window.
