The WM 29 Pistol event in GTA Online, also known as the Die Hard Christmas Event, is inspired by the 1988 movie of the same name, with certain event activities taken directly from one of the famous scenes in the Die Hard movie.
This Christmas Event is completely random, and if you manage to trigger it, you can walk away with the exclusive WM 29 Pistol. This pistol is not obtainable otherwise. However, a couple of requirements must be met to trigger the event.
The WM 29 Pistol is inspired by the Heckler & Koch P7 pistol that Hans Gruber, the main antagonist, used in the Die Hard movie.
You can trigger the event in any session, including private and public sessions. The event takes place on the roof of the Weazel Plaza building. The Weazel Plaza building imitates the Nakatomi Plaza building seen during the scene in the Die Hard movie.
For this event to trigger, you must be in a session for at least 20 minutes. Only after that will you have a chance of triggering the event. If the event doesn't trigger for you, try creating a new solo session or going into a public lobby. Once you've joined, you must wait for at least 20 minutes.
Another important requirement is always staying within 400 meters of the Weazel Plaza. If you're out of the 400-meter range, the event won't trigger. It only triggers between 8 P.M and 6 A.M (20:00 and 6:00) in-game time.
As soon as the clock hits 20:00, start driving toward the plaza, and you might just get lucky. As mentioned, the event takes place on the plaza's roof, so you will need a flying vehicle to reach the top. You can get a Buzzard or an Oppressor MK2 if you have one. You will see a red dot appear on your mini-map when the event is triggered.
You will find a couple of criminals in a shootout with the cops. One of the criminals will be wearing a beige suit. He represents Hans Gruber from the Die Hard movie. This is the character carrying the WM 29 Pistol.
