GTA Online: Here’s How To Unlock the Ruby Necklace During the Cayo Perico Heist

Grand Theft Auto players can access numerous missions and challenges, with GTA Online flaunting some incredibly rewarding heists for fans to complete. The Cayo Perico Heist features a range of valuable targets, but many players still wonder how to unlock the Ruby Necklace during the Cayo Perico Heist in GTA 5.

Primary Targets in the Cayo Perico Heist

Many GTA Online players love taking on the Cayo Perico Heist, even though it’s been around for quite some time. This heist can be extremely lucrative with the right approaches, whether playing solo or hosting a mission with friends, and players can walk away with millions each time.

Although players will never end up with the maximum potential profit after each of the crew members gets a cut of the take and fencing fees are paid accordingly, the targets in the Cayo Perico heist are incredibly valuable as is. This Cayo Perico Heist Finale mission grants players one primary target as well as secondary targets such as cash, illegal substances, or art, with the primary target being the most important.

What is the Rarest Primary Target to Get in the Cayo Perico Heist?

The Gold Panther Statue is the rarest and most valuable primary target players can get during the Cayo Perico Heist overall. This statue is a more valuable variant of the classic blue and jeweled Panther Statue, but players only have access to this primary target during very specific limited-time events.

Apart from select cases where this statue is made available to fans, the classic Panther Statue is the most valuable primary target and is extremely rare to get for players, followed by the Pink Diamond. The Panther Statue has a base value of $1,900,000 when playing in Normal Mode and a value of $2,090,000 in Hard Mode.

How to Unlock the Ruby Necklace in the Cayo Perico Heist

All of the primary targets in the Cayo Perico heist rely on luck or “RNG,” as they appear at random – although more valuable primary targets appear to have lower probabilities. As a result, some players have found far more success in getting the Ruby Necklace as their primary target than others.

Unfortunately, there is no way to manually choose the Ruby Necklace in particular, as with all of the primary targets in the Cayo Perico heist – and for good reasons, since players would simply repeat the most lucrative primary targets while neglecting all others. However, players do have the option to reset the heist for the chance of getting a better primary target on the next try.

That being said, most players have found that this approach costs too much time, effort, and expenses through prep costs – not to mention the possibility of players getting another less popular primary target on the next try. It’s generally more recommended to go ahead with each of the Cayo Perico heist jobs regardless of the primary target, as players will eventually unlock the Ruby Necklace.

How Much is the Ruby Necklace Worth in the Cayo Perico Heist?

The Ruby Necklace has a relatively low value when compared to some of the other primary targets, such as Bearer Bonds or the Madrazo Files. It’s worth $1,000,000 in Normal Mode and $1,100,00 in Hard Mode, which is still a significant amount of money for any GTA Online player.

Where is the Ruby Necklace in the Cayo Perico Heist?

All of the primary targets during the Cayo Perico heist were held under strict security, each placed in an underground vault within El Rubio’s Compound. The location of El Rubio’s Compound can be seen on the map below.

Of course, it will be challenging to get inside the compound, and players can plan for the mission via the screen aboard the Kosatka submarine. Once players gain access to the underground vault, they will be able to steal the Ruby Necklace, which is contained inside a glass case.

That’s everything there is to know about the Ruby Necklace in GTA Online, with images and stats thanks to the GTA Wiki. The Cayo Perico Heist is undeniably tricky for many fans, but managing to get the Ruby Necklace as the primary target will instantly increase the team’s expected profits.
