Modus operandi

1.Selecting He not having a code kills people in the way of success like other workers at Pierce&Pierce or workers at rival company's.With his sister being a cop and he loves her greatly he also killers criminals to not distract his sister to the police force.He sometimes goes after criminals being hunted by the NYPD purely to feed his bloodlust since he thrives killing those kind of people.

The cases he looks for are cases of which were closed due to insufficient evidence or unopened cases or cases that would be to big of a distraction to the police force.Sometimes he also kills just to feed himself like his farther mostly kills prostitutes and strippers like his farther.

2.Confirming and Stalking He stalks his victims from a far to be sure of this sometimes when he sees the killer kill other just to be sure.He spends at least a day confirming suspicions and aquiring a very solid evidence against the victim. He also stalks victim for some time to have the knowledge of his/her habits, various details and to choose a moment when victim will be more harmless and unsuspecting.

Patrick casually uses a lock pick to invade to victim's living place to find the evidence, follows him/her etc.

3.Preparations Due to his wealth he has a device that he sets in front of the place he is going to kill his victims.The Device stops all radio waves and technology with in 60 yards so the victims can't call anyone or use any alternative to leave.He implies a another item that he use to cover windows,the covers can not be seen if from outside but can see through them if inside the place.He sometimes kills the person in there house or at his hideout for kills.He also buys a song of a singer he dose research on the singer.He has clothes he wears to kill his victims a tight black shirt,designed cargo dark green pants,black boots,grip gloves,a belt he wears to to hold some extra melee weapons and a bag he has with weapons.

As part of the ritual, he confronts his victims with their crimes by decorating the room with evidence or pictures of the victims or the victims severed heads and hang them up in a room.

His weapons to kill are a series of knifes and an Axe sometimes as a tribute to his farther who taught him this.

4.Capture Dexter incapacitates his target by using either his hands (employing a rear naked choke hold on the TV series) or a garrote to cut off blood flow to the brain,If the victim is to big or a very serious threat knocks them out with the needle version of Ketamine. He also sometimes cuts there throats and lose blood to when they pass out he then wraps there throat and go them ready to kill. In some cases he hides in the back seat of his victim's vehicle, then wraps a noose of fishing line around his victim's throat when they sit down. He then uses the threat of asphyxiation to force his victim to drive them to his prepared kill site.

5.The Killing When they awaken sometimes they awaken in their own home and Patrick chases them around their own home and kill them with whatever, he calls this kind of killing he calls "Freestyle" which he mostly kills prostitutes with and some of the people he kills in this kinda of killing he wears his suit .In most cases they awaken on a table strapped in there underwear but for woman he rapes them before he kills them.He talks to them about why they killed the person and he then tells them why he is going to tell them.The Ketamine helps keeps people from passing out as in his killings while the person is still strapped he uses his axe to cut of there legs,arms and then heads of sometime stabs them in the heart or head.

6.Disposal After there death he disposes of the body by putting them in a bag of some sorts and dumps it in a ditch underground in an Bateman owned area.

7.Trophies The Family artist who knew about Patrick Bateman Sr.'s killing ways also knows about Jr.'s killing ways.For each victim He paints a picture of them on a protrait and it is hidden in Patricks storage room center.

Alternative

Shooting one occasion Patrick was forced to shoot a few people in self defense with a gun or killing purposely with it,a Gun he owns with a Silencer.He uses the gun if out numbered.He does try ways to avoiding shooting since it Does not feed his bloodlust.

Neck Snap While it's basically an element of M.O. rather then being it itself it is still an interestingly often used element. Patrick after Season 1,is trained in jiu-jitsu, a martial art which has many of it's fighting moves involving the neck of the person on which it used, so when he needs to kill a person on spot as quick as possible and with his bare hands to do it, he often opts to do it such way. It is at least once was incorporated in two other modi operandi listed before.This kinda of killing helps feed his bloodlust as he loves to see a life end so quick and brutal.

Stabbings He sometimes kills with stabbing.If in a hurry or outnumbered will quickly stab many to escape as he has done this before.
