This idea was proposed by D’arren in the previous installment in the story.

Greg Roberts is assigned with the task of going after the Vault’s reserves and plans out the operation with the help of Dr Oz Ramirez, who convinces Greg to take a more humane approach and not kill the guards at the vault but instead try to pacify as many as he can.
