For starters, players will need to meet Miguel Madrazo, a new character available from this heist, at Diamond Casino's newest nightclub. This will begin to turn the wheels for the Cayo Perico heist. Then, players will need to purchase the Kosatka submarine to begin this new questline. This purchase will cost players $2.2 million dollars but this isn't just another underwater vehicle for players to explore with, but an entirely new base of operations. Players can then purchase upgrades for the submarine if they so, please. Once this is done, they will have access to Cayo Perico and the new Combat Shotgun. Here's where players can find it.

How To Find The Combat Shotgun in GTA Online

GTA Online Cayo Perico

For starters, the player will need to have completed the Cayo Perico heist to get the Combat Shotgun. This powerful weapon can be found in the final mission of the heist. The exact location of the Combat Shotgun in Cayo Perico is randomized for each player, but the best chance players have in finding it will be in El Rubio's mansion at the southern end of the island. Explore the mansion until the player finds the Combat Shotgun. Players will have the best luck finding the weapon mounted on a wall.

The player will then need to complete the heist. Once this is done, players can head to an Ammu-Nation and purchase the Combat Shotgun as a permanent weapon for $295,000. It's a fairly powerful weapon that will benefit any player's weapon line-up. The Cayo Perico heist will likely bring in many players that have long forgotten about this almost-decade-old title. A port of GTA Online will soon be coming to the newest generation in 2021. While players eagerly wait for a new mainline title, the content updates for GTA Online have been substantial enough to keep players entertained.
