Im doing the peacekeeping task in custom, got surprised by Santa. An idea pop up, I want that santa bag so much and its so damn dark here, we can made some noise with my m4 and attract PMC to kill that Santa for me.
To make sure that they wont hesitate to shoot anything that move, I keep shooting windows in semi with loud m4. After I heard those metal staircase sound, I throw flashbang at them. Run straight to Santa and wait for their push. Suddenly Santa gone wild and just keep sprinting, the first poor dude actually hit Santa and hold fire, get killed by Santa afterward. Free PMC loot. Later on, duo PMC got attracted by m4 again(best way to attract PMC), one of them accidently killed Santa and got blasted second later. His team mate holding an angle that cant hit me, looted Santa and VOIP: "Thanks for the hard work, buddy". Extracted with the Santa bag. I guess that dude knows how it feels of police trying to save hostage. Meat Shield Santa.
TLDR: If meet Santa in Dorms,
1)blow all the lights
2)use grenade or loud gun(recommend m4) to attract PMCs
3)staying with Santa and sprint with Santa
4)keep breaking windows if PMCs arrived(using VOIP to taunt that you have a buddy with you is also a good option)
5)Peek while they contact with Santa
6)If they hit Santa and hold fire, let Santa do the dirty work.
7)If they killed Santa, rush them right after, most of them will shocked for some seconds for accidently killed Santa, best time to strike.
End of Ted talk.
