GTA Online guide: Heist replay glitch for the Cayo Perico Heist

The above YouTube video gives players a quick, but excellent introduction into how the heist replay glitch works for The Cayo Perico Heist in GTA Online. As this glitch hasn't been patched for several years now, one shouldn't worry about it being patched anytime soon.

First, GTA Online players need to have done the prep missions beforehand. Second, they must complete The Cayo Perico Heist, all the way up to when they grab the primary loot. Then, they should follow the following instructions if they're on a team:

1. Run to the righthand into the body of water.
2. Keep swimming until the text on the bottom of the screen vanishes.

What Xbox and PlayStation players should do

Once the cutscene begins, Xbox and PlayStation users should close the application as soon as they get the brown envelope in the cutscene. Hosts won't get any money for doing the heist replay glitch, but the rest of the team will get their respective shares.

Hence, it's not as useful for solo players on these consoles.

What PC players should do

Instead of closing the application, PC players should disconnect their Internet once they see "Heist Passed." That can be done through several ways, such as:

• Physically unplugging the ethernet cable.
• Turning off Wi-Fi.

The main difference between PC players performing the heist replay glitch compared to Xbox and PlayStation gamers is that the former still gets the cash. Ergo, one can abuse this glitch if they prefer to solo The Cayo Perico Heist in GTA Online.

If PC players can't start the heist again in GTA Online, they should find a new session to fix that problem.
