GTA Online guarantees a valuable Cayo Perico target and doubles first-time heist bonuses
GTA Online's latest Heist Event gives players a guaranteed chance to find the Panther Statue on their first approach to Cayo Perico. It also doubles first-time completion bonuses for several major heists and offers a free artwork to players who log in by November 11.
The rewards apply inside GTA Online. Players still need access to the game and must meet the relevant heist requirements to take part.
Several heists have doubled first-time bonuses
Rockstar says players can earn doubled first-time completion bonuses across the Original Heists, The Doomsday Heist and The Diamond Casino Heist during the event. The company also lists double GTA$ for the first completion of KnoWay Out from November 5 through November 11.

For The Cayo Perico Heist, the event announcement says the Panther Statue is guaranteed on the first approach. The guarantee concerns that initial approach; it should not be read as a promise that the statue will appear on every subsequent run.
The Kortz Center Heist also guarantees The Outcome of Endeavour, an artwork Rockstar says was previously restricted to players who reached Elitist status in the Fine Art Collector programme.

There is a separate login reward for mansion owners
Players who log into GTA Online through November 11 can get The Great Circle Back, another artwork intended for a mansion. A login reward and a heist payout have different requirements, so players looking for both should check the event details in game.

Rockstar has also outlined a separate set of bonuses for November 12 through December 2. Contact Missions will pay double GTA$ and RP, with a further multiplier for GTA+ members, while Freemode Challenges and selected race series receive their own bonuses during that later period.
Those later rewards do not start with the current heist week. Check the active event dates before planning a session around a particular payout.
