The Weazel Plaza Shootout is considered a random event in the Festive Surprise update. GTA Online players don't have to switch to another server while looking for a job. They just need to go into a freemode session and find the tallest skyscraper in Rockford Hills, Los Santos.

Players may recognize this building since they can also buy high-end apartments from here. The Dynasty 8 website sells three of them at the Weazel Plaza. Either way, there will be a shootout on top of this building. Players will notice an LSPD helicopter flying overhead, along with a red flare going off.

GTA Online players have until the end of the Festive Surprise update to get this over with. The Weazel Plaza Shootout takes heavy inspiration from a famous Christmas movie, so the freemode event won't last forever. It's currently the only known way to obtain the WM 29 Pistol.


How to complete the challenge

GTA Online players can only take part in the event during nighttime. The Weazel Plaza Shootout takes place from 22:00 - 6:00 (10 pm - 6 am), so one should check their clock. The freemode event can be done in public or private sessions for the Festive Surprise update.

Players will need to use a flying vehicle to get near the top of the building, preferably with the Oppressor Mk II. They will need to eliminate all the heavily armed robbers, then pick up the WM 29 Pistol from the ground.

As previously stated, completing this mission is a lot easier with the Oppressor Mk II, since players can fire off homing missiles from a distance. Keep in mind that they could potentially get a three-star wanted level. Players must be careful to avoid the police shortly after leaving the Weazel Plaza.

When the dust finally settles, GTA Online players should definitely check out the WM 29 Pistol in the Festive Surprise update. It's a silencer that offers a crisp and clean sound effect whenever one fires off a few rounds. At the moment, players can only customize the suppressor and tints.

Speaking of which, by completing the Weazel Plaza Shootout, GTA Online players will also get a free Season's Greetings skin for Pistol Mk II. The Festive Surprise update is the gift that keeps on giving.

Remember, the holiday season is only around for a limited time only. Players should get it done as soon as possible to collect these rewards. There is no telling when the WM 29 Pistol will be available in the near future.
