Workers in Santas workshop can die?

[Flavour similar to vanilla]

Ive heard this plenty of times now and ive never noticed it, Can they actually die?

[Rex]

They can, you have to leave them undefended for along time I think

[double stuf'd oreo cookie]

IIRC law enforcers interact with them, giving you a chance to keep them alive (and then they kill them)

[Alucard †]

Are you sure "kill" is the right word here?
Don't they just "arrest" them ?

They arrest them and then they fall over dead

Just like real life

I believe all but one can die. It's been a long time since I've played that heist though. It probably meant to prevent new players from making an unsucceedable heist if they all die before 4 bags are made.

Well the achievement says to keep all elves alive (Or something along those lines) for 30 minutes

The game will constantly spawn special "sneaky cops" to kill the elves. 3 on Overkill and 4 on Mayhem+. The loophole here is that they only respawn on death, so for a full crew each player can dominate the sneaky cop when he attempts to kill the elf and then kill everything else that approaches.

But I'm not sure if converting them removes them from the sneaky-cop-count. Either way, if you're used to play with a full crew that uses converts, that might be a reason why you don't see the elves die.

I did Euro Bag sim solo and... pretty sure not even one was arrested. Heck I even overextended and did the cloaker safe (around 5 min if you count bag hauling) but never got one arrested.

It's either it got silently changed to not arrest or I got lucky.

But in very old times when the heist first came out, the elves were arrested if you looked away for 2 minutes, making the bag achievement almost impossible if you had bad spawns.

..So.. I legit believe they can't be arrested at this point.

For euro bag sim we were all in one corner for pretty much the whole game, The only time we left was to move bags or get more bags

Well since you have to defend them in the mission i am guessing the will die when you leave them alone for a long time but not sure

[StupidNameHere]

They've always died, since beginning.

[Greb]

I've never seen it happen. Mind you, the heist is my least favourite out of all of them because it's soul crushing mentally and physically. It's probably broken and never fixed or something lol.

Which is my argument. They were more easily arrested before, but I've never seen them get arrested recently. Not even on DSOD and getting pushed into cover.
