The popular Assault on Cayo Perico Adversary Mode has gotten a buff to its default payout in GTA Online. It is now fine to play the game mode with a few players. You also reach the cap for the maximum amount of money quicker than before, which can be convenient in one-sided bouts. The data mine of this topic is provided by Rockstar Games insider Tez2 in the next section of this article.
It is crucial to mention that this week's GTA Online update does not include a 2x multiplier to its cash like it did last week. Hence, some players may feel like they're earning less.
But it's important to note that the base value has improved significantly. This will be more noticeable in a future week that receives a 2x multiplier.
Assault On Cayo Perico Adversary Mode now pays more money for GTA Online players
The recent GTA Online weekly update included several changes to Assault on Cayo Perico. Here is what the data mines reveal about this updated Adversary Mode:

"This week, we've also made an upwards correction to the GTA$ payouts in the new Assault on Cayo Perico."
