Rockstar changes a popular method of quickly earning a lot of money in GTA: Online. The nerf mainly affects many solo players who wanted to quickly improve their account alone.
In GTA: Online, money and earning money is an essential part of the game. Many vehicles or houses cost a lot of GTA dollars. And those of you who want to achieve something quickly need millions of GTA dollars for many things.
It is therefore not surprising that many gamers exploit every trick and option to boost their accounts. However, a popular heist has now been nerfed by Rockstar. Many gamers do not like this.
GTA: Online also introduced its major summer update 2022. You can read all the information about the new update and what to expect in our article:
Long wait times prevent you from earning 100 million dollars in a week.
Which heist is it about? With the Cayo Perico Heist, you could previously earn over a million dollars in 7 minutes. Especially for solo players who do not want to deal with random groups or other players, Cayo Perico was a lucrative opportunity to quickly get a few million GTA dollars.
And that made the heist so attractive: you could earn a lot of money in relatively little time.
What has now changed? Rockstar extends the time you must wait if you want to start a new heist (via rockstargames.com). Previously, you could start the heist again after about 15 minutes, but these times have now been adjusted:
- Solo players now need to wait three in-game days before they can join the queue again.
- Those playing in a group must wait one in-game day before they can rejoin.
You can therefore no longer conclude Cayo Perico and start again 15 minutes later to collect a few more million GTA dollars. Now, as a solo player, you must wait nearly 3 hours before you can start the heist again.
Players upset about the adjustments to Cayo Perico
This is how players react: In the GTA-Online subreddit, many players are upset about the changes to the heist. The Cayo Perico heist had been a good opportunity for many solo players to quickly earn money.
Especially as a solo player, you now have to expect long wait times, making Cayo Perico less attractive. Many users are upset about this. Many players simply do not want to deal with a group of random players, as that is just stressful and annoying. As one person writes on reddit.com:
The attempt to do the original heists with randoms, waiting almost 30 minutes just to get 3 other people, only for them to die repeatedly 5 minutes after the heist and give up.
Many explain that they would prefer to play alone than waste their time with “randos”. This change would affect exactly those players who simply do not want to deal with these random players.
