How to get Panther Statue in GTA Online Cayo Perico heist worth $2m

Connor Bennett

The Panther Statue in GTA Online‘s Cayo Perico heist is worth a massive amount of money but you’ll have to get your hands on it first. 

Most GTA Online heists follow a pretty linear structure with players identifying the target, stealing it, and evading the police to escape. The Cayo Perico heist is a bit trickier, however, and you can also take on the whole thing solo. 

The Panther Statue is the most coveted target in Cayo Perico but it’s not always available. For when it is, however, we’ve got a breakdown of exactly how to get it.

Is the Panther statue available in GTA Online?

Sadly, following the most recent GTA Online update on November 14, the Panther Statue is no longer available again in GTA Online. 

Just follow these steps to claim it:

  1. Select the Panther Statue as your heist target once you’ve completed the heist setup.
  2. Choose your approach for the Cayo Perico Heist.
  3. Jump into the heist.
  4. Steal the statue!

How much is the Panther Statue worth in GTA Online?

The Cayo Perico Panther Statue is worth up to $1.9 million in Grand Theft Auto Online when you select ‘Hard‘ as the difficulty.

This makes it one of the most lucrative heist opportunities when it’s actually live in the game.
