Heist Prep: Unmarked Weapons (The Cayo Perico Heist)

"Your choice of weapon is… personal, yes? You chose the loadout that suits your plan, your personality. Of course, all weapons unmarked, untraceable, and destroyed after we are done."

- Pavel's briefing on planning screen.

Unmarked Weapons is a mandatory prep mission featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of The Cayo Perico Heist update. It is a freeroam mission needed to progress The Cayo Perico Heist.

Overview
Pavel briefs the player that the operation requires the use of unmarked, untraceable weapons in order to avoid El Rubio tracing them.

Completing this setup allows the player(s) to use the selected loadout for the finale.

Loadouts
The player must select only one loadout from a list of five possible combinations, and can later be supplemented with suppressors for $5,000.

Office Assault
"America is not only the land of the free and the gun owner, it is land of paperwork, receipt, registration, serial number… and for this operation all unacceptable. We must be clean. And the closest thing to clean in Los Santos? Stealing from your rivals. I have found a gang who are bringing unregistered shipment... they are from Los Santos, so of course they are operating out of upmarket skyscraper office. I have sent you location."

- One of Pavel's briefings.

The player is tasked with going to an office building located among the skyscrapers of Los Santos. Once there, Pavel will inform the player that they can enter either through the guarded ground entrance or through the unguarded roof entrance. Upon entering the building's office interior, guards can be found standing inside, who will open fire if the player is detected.

Once the guards have been taken out, the player must inspect the gun locker, which will be found locked. However, Pavel indicates there must be a remote locking system, so the player has to inspect the laptop on the desk and hack it in order to open the gun locker and then collect the weapons.

Regardless of whether the player is detected or not, upon exiting the building, they will be pursued by enemies in Buzzards (one gunner with an MG in each chopper, two choppers for each wave of enemies, four waves in total).

When the weapons are delivered to the Kosatka, the mission is completed.

Tail Helicopter
"You know one of the great benefits of private sector military? Always fresh supply of cutting-edge, unregistered firearms. Group called Merryweather are running a training exercise with new weapons somewhere... I do not know where. We start at their base, see if there is someone we can follow."

- One of Pavel's briefings.

The player is tasked with going to the Merryweather HQ at Elysian Island and tail a Valkyrie helicopter to find the training site.

The training site has several Merryweather soldiers around an Avenger aircraft, which will contain the unmarked weapons. The player must clear the area by taking out all enemies.

Once the area is clear, Pavel instructs the player to enter the Avenger's cargo hold, take out the two additional enemies inside, and steal the weapons.

Once the weapons are collected, Pavel will inform the player that the Avenger is airborne, and tell them to pick up a parachute and jump out; despite Pavel warning the player that additional enemies would otherwise be encountered once the aircraft lands, no such scenario occurs. On the ground, the player will be pursued by enemies in offroad Mesas (two enemies in each car, two cars for each wave of enemies, four waves in total).

When the weapons are delivered to the Kosatka, the mission is completed.
