The coveted Pink Diamond primary target for the Cayo Perico heist in GTA Online is worth a maximum of $1.4 million on hard difficulty and $1.3 million on normal. As one of the most valuable and rare loot items in the game, it‘s the crown jewel for heist crews.

  • Utilize suppressors on weapons when possible
  • Carefully move between cover to avoid detection
  • Consider sniper support from the nearby comms tower

The Rarity of Pink Diamonds

In the real world, natural pink diamonds originate from a single mine in Australia and represent less than 0.1% of global diamond production. Their unique atomic structure and intense pressure conditions give them unparalleled brilliance and value.

While not as rare in GTA Online, the pink diamond is still a hot commodity for heist crews. Much like the intense action in Los Santos mirrors the real world‘s indulgent elites.
