Discover all the Compound Entry Points for the Cayo Perico Heist in Grand Theft Auto V. Learn how to find and unlock the Main Gate, South Wall, South Gate, North Wall, North Gate, and Drainage Tunnel.

Alright, so you're gearing up for the Cayo Perico Heist in GTA V and need to know the best ways to get into the compound? It's all about scouting those entry points beforehand. Think of it like casing the joint – the more you know, the smoother the infiltration.

There are a few key spots you'll want to unlock. Each one gives you a different starting position for the heist itself, and figuring them out is part of the intel gathering phase. Let's break down how to find each one.

Compound Entry Points

Before you can even think about the heist, you need to scout these entry points. You do this by using the aerial camera during the intel gathering mission. You'll fly around the island, and when you get close enough to a specific point, you can position the camera to 'unlock' it.

Main Gate

This is pretty straightforward. You'll fly around using the camera until you spot the main entrance. Line up your camera view to match the picture you're given (the game will show you a reference) and you'll unlock it. It's the most obvious one, so you'll likely find it early.

South Wall

Similar to the Main Gate, you'll use the aerial camera to get eyes on the southern perimeter of the compound. Find the spot along the wall, position your camera as shown in the game's reference image, and boom – unlocked.

South Gate

Keep sweeping the southern side of the compound with your camera. You're looking for another gate, likely a service entrance or similar. Again, match the camera view to the reference image to secure this entry point.

North Wall

Now, shift your focus to the northern side of the island. You'll be using the camera to scout the wall along the north. Find the correct position, replicate the camera angle shown, and add this entry point to your list.

North Gate

Just like the South Gate, there's a corresponding gate on the north side. Use your camera to find it, align it perfectly with the reference picture, and you'll have another option for your heist approach.

Drainage Tunnel

This one's a bit different and a super popular entry point for a reason. You'll need to head to a specific location on the map – the game will mark it for you. Once you're there, dive into the water and swim towards the tunnel entrance. It's usually submerged, so get ready to hold your breath and swim right in to unlock it. This is a stealthy one, so it's a good one to have in your back pocket.

Getting all these entry points scouted gives you a lot more flexibility when you actually launch the Cayo Perico Heist. It's always good to have options, right?
