This is a random event that can be started by following these simple steps:

• Log in to the game and stay in the game for at least twenty minutes.
• Ensure it is between 8 PM and 6 AM in-game time. 
• Make sure you are within 400 meters of the Weazel Plaza building. 
• The random event will start once choppers begin flying over Weazel Plaza.
• Get an Oppressor MK II or a chopper and land on the roof of the building. This will trigger the event. 
• After landing on the roof, you should see several criminals. Make sure you kill every one of them. 
• Once defeated, there should be a WM 29 pistol on the ground near one of the dead criminal bodies. 
• If this is your first time completing the event, you will also be rewarded with $25,000!

The WM 29 pistol is a reference to the gun Bruce Willis used in Die Hard. Players can purchase ammunition for the gun at Ammu-Nation.

All in all, the event is short, sweet, and very fun to complete. Choosing to honor Die Hard, one of the most fringe and widely debated Christmas movies of all time is a very fitting way for GTA Online to wish its players a Merry Christmas!
