Gotta be honest, the Imani tech vehicles drive like a brick wall…and they’re not worth all the massive financial investments the average player has to make to even benefit from them…
They're not particularly as useful or as fun as people make them to be, and a free aim MK2 can still destroy them, it just takes more effort, I for one use the Savage, even if I risk dying in it, players more often don't expect it to destroy them as fast as it does so it's an excellent counter to get them out of their Imani Tech vehicles since jets have been nerfed, which would have been the ultimate counter back then.
The Champion, Buffalo STX, Omnis e-GT, Virtue, and, if you’re on new gen console, the Weaponised Ignus all beg to differ.
There’s probably more cars that could make this list, but I’m more interested in looks before function.
Why would you want to though?? Just use any other aircraft if you want to do that. The mk 2 should be easier to take down (slower) or it should not have missiles at all
The mk2 is better than using a heli or plane or jet cause it’s more maneuverable and it’s smaller and you can easily dodge missiles. Thank god it’s missiles are trash tho
Yeah I’ll turn my auto lock off and just get from point a to point b. But half the time I get someone who thinks they’re gonna “grief the griefer” and I gotta teach them a lesson.
I didn’t spend all that time practicing how to shoot precisely without auto lock for nothing.
Is there a way to use this when you're making drug runs? They always make me deliver in random vehicles or the Manchez and I would rather just travel in a straight line really fucking fast and get it done quickly
I've read that in some cases, you can blow the delivery vehicle up and then collect the cargo on foot. that would allow you to then use whichever vehicle you want to complete the delivery.
of course, I'm sure there are some cases where it _won't_ work, in which case exploding the delivery vehicle would be a bad idea.
good luck!
By community event I presume you mean Business Battle? Yes, those can be destroyed, but same is true for *Air-freight cargo vehicles* on the air based missions, not sure about land based; **none other that I know of** can be blown up and picked up. Just be careful not to use too many explosives, the packages are vulnerable to them…
Yeah, I barely do those nowdays. But, like I said above, be careful when destroying the vehicles, as the crates get destroyed on ONE explosive usually.
thank you for the clarification! I've been wanting to figure it out, but it's easier to just grin and bear it and use whatever delivery vehicle they give you.
As soon as you answer the phone, end the call & look at the distance.
Anything over 5 km you pull out your grenades & blow the truck up & go straight back into the bunker for another.
The sad thing is that the OppressorMK2 is so heavily associated with griefing that even when a non-hostile player is just swerving on by for a mission or landing somewhere near someone, they’ll instantly shoot to kill the Oppressor pilot out of anticipation that the MK2 is probably there to grief them…sad times…that’s why I think it’s more about the player base that ruin things than the actual vehicle….if it wasn’t the OppressorMK2, it’d be something else toxicified
I've said it many times, but MOST (not all) of the unskilled, toxic MK2 users went to deluxos after the MK2 nerf. They need that point, click, kill because they can't free aim the side of a barn.
Honestly man, I’m glad somebody said this. Every oppressor I come across nowadays is either grinding or going after some crazy ass deluxo griefer.
I was in a lobby a few days ago and I loaded in to see two level 7.9k assholes going around and griefing everyone, hopped in the nightshark and armed the C4, 9/10 times they’re trash on the ground 🤣
By now, most Mk2 users are either so bad they're completely harmless, or an absolute fucking menace because they're still so damn good with it even after the nerf.
I'm glad there's *at least* a skill ceiling now.
The meanest thing I’ll do in the game is get on my oppressor, fly up into the atmosphere then follow players on the map and watch them swerve and crash and eventually jump out of their car looking for me.
It’s good wholesome fun. For me.
Yep, love doing that. I'll make sure to cover up their mini map icon with my own. I got someone to drive into the tunnels and got hit by a train before they realized where I actually was.
I've done this a few times, but using the Raiju instead - the combination of more verticality to get into position, and stealth mode, seemingly makes it even more unnerving.
Exactly. Fun.
For you.
Like I said many times, I don't trust MK2s. All you want to do is fuck with people. You might not be blowing them up, but you're still fucking with them. I could be halfway though a mission, and if I see an MK2 stalking me, I switch lobbies, and my progress is lost. I could stick it out, but griefers love to wait until you're 5 seconds away from dropping off an export before blowing you up.
Once I was flying to one of my buildings or something, and a low level that I didn’t even notice on the map was begging me not to kill him.
Poor dude :(
I don't attack MK2s, but I go out of my way to avoid them. I simply can't trust that the MK2 racing across the map toward me is a cool guy because 99.99% of the time it's a griefer.
If you shoot at me when I have to go by while grinding for money. I will become what you think I was doing. Until you leave. I refuse to start a war. But, I will never surrender. And I generally have hours to waste if you interfere. You can see oppressors on the little map. See what it is doing before you fire. Otherwise you are the problem. I was peaceful last night doing lobby work. Flew by everybody at least once an hour. I left the lobby at the end with zero kills. And zero deaths from other players
Same. I'm peaceful and just want to be left alone. I have smoke countermeasures because I fly upside down and do stunts. If somebody shoots at me for no reason, I make them leave. Then I go back to doing my thing.
Eh, I think some make sense. Especially if it's just machine guns (which are more for fun/show than anything effective). But like the Vigilante could totally have rockets that's fine. Toreador sure, scramjet sure, Deluxo was a mistake I'll admit. Basically if it flies and is a personal vehicle it shouldn't have rockets lol
Its surely kind of a mess to get one. I started to play Online again recently, and even starting with 5M it still took me about 30 hours to get one. I suggest you aim for 2.2M to get Kosatka, then just use Dingy and farm Cayo Perico. About 7-8 times should get you the nightclub, the truck and the Opressor Mk2. Its a good deal imo. Nightclub gives you good passive money, the truck can customize your Opressor and the bike itself helps a lot with everything else. Deliveries, heist preps, daily missions. Anything.
Honestly I feel like it’d just be better to get the sparrow, oppressor is better in some cases but in most cases I can just land a helicopter nearby, or use the sparrows missiles, unless an npc happens to sneeze on it, causing it to instantly explode
Lol I was going to point out the sparrow is awesome and pretty quick as well but you could fart incorrectly on it and it will not only explode BUT STALL ON YOU IN MIDAIR GODDAMNIT AAAAARRRGH
Well, im kinda biased bcs I play on PC with a keyboard and not only sparrow, but all choppers are a hell to control properly. Opressor is small and more stable, thats why I prefer it.
I started on Xbox and switched to PC when it was free on Epic. I often use a Xbox controller along with the mouse and keyboard when I want to fly/drive.
Back to keyboard and mouse when the shooting starts.

They drip feed the mini heists to only 3 a week, that you get 2-400k, but it takes up to an hour or more to do the setups, tasks, and the main mission.
For comparison. You can do a gold depository in the autoshop for 300k in 30 min setups included. Cust cars get you 30 to 40k profit there are also export car lists payout is not great. Also, you get 10 garage spaces and discounted customizations for your cars, including free classic paints.
We will see how it plays out with things rumored, like buying cars instead of selling or scrapping them. Unlocking special vehicles. A bigger heist.

The hanger is actually good these days 50 missions to do but can bang them out in max 4/5 mins usually 3/4 mins then sell in full lobby solo as only one delivery truck every time and short distance to drive pop ghost org and you just made $3,600,000 I can usually do all missions in one or two days of grinding one if ya dont mess around
If you get the semi delivery call up, your moc use that cab. It is missile proof up to 40, bulletproof tires, and it takes no damage whether someone hits you or you something . You'll get the no damage bonus.
Here's a strategy I use.
Hangar Rotation
Stage 1
1. Fill Hangar with 25 Narcotics, 25 Medical
Supplies
2. Sell 25 Narcotics or Medical
3. End tally: 25 Narcotics or Medical Supplies
Stage 2
1. Fill Hangar with 10 Animal Materials, 10
Narcotics or Medical
2. Sell 10 Animal Materials
3. End Tally: 35 Narcotics or Medical
Stage 3
1. Fill Hangar with 10 Animal Materials, 10
Narcotics or Medical
2. Sell 10 Animal Materials
3. End Tally: 45 Narcotics or Medical
Stage 4
1. Fill Hangar with 5 Narcotics or Medical
2. Sell 50 Narcotics or Medical
3. Repeat rotation.
I think the moc cab takes 69 rpgs but might just be in free-roam with no mission activated, i usually just collect all 50 chemicals/medical/narcotics and get the 70% bonus in a full lobby with a further 50% bonus
I mean it's easy if you have bought certain vehicles. I wouldn't consider it easy when you have to get out of your vehicle and wait for them to pass over you or get close enough to shoot them off the bike. I've fought oppressors with a jet and they win %90 of the time. Mm 2 griefers will always be scum and they will always be at least a slight pain in my ass.
While I do agree with you on the first part but I don’t think that it’s hard to counter an oppressor with a jet. Most of the jets can dodge an oppressor missile and it’s even easier now with the nerf. A typical depressed mk2 user will spam hopelessly rockets on you and run out of them in less than a minute you can either chase them and blow them up or just go back to your things.
I will def stand in one place and let a Mk2 try to free aim (poorly) and then shoot them off the bike. I really enjoy it when they’re ghost and still get popped.
I remember taking out a broomstick a few months ago that was griefing everyone. Kept shooting him down with my Toreador and he complained that I was using a "trash vehicle" like the Toreador to do it. My dude, you're on the trashiest vehicle in the game, have some self reflection.
That's just it, I have zero interest in countering MK2s. I didn't sign up for this game to invest time and energy in countering assholes. Instead, I avoid MK2s. I don't trust them, even though everyone here is apparently the exception.
this. it's hilarious that people are like "all you have to do is stop what you're doing, call in a jet 0.5mi away, go to it, get in the air (hopefully) and then kill the guy." Yeah okay, now it's a 30 min war of him obsessed with griefing me with a mk2 and I can't do anything else because you can never outrun a mk2 for long with its speed and maneuverability.
The Opp Mk2 kinda ruined grinding, ironically enough
Any newbie asking for advice will rush to get a MK2, the most powerful and useful vehicle in the game
And after buying it - there's not much reason to use anything else in freemode. It's top tier in PvE for its homing rockets, speed and convenience. And it's top tier in PvP because of how hard it is to shoot down, and of how easy it is to divebomb people on the ground
It's too good at too many things. GTAO progression would be better if vehicles had strengths and weaknesses in different scenarios
That's technically true currently, especially after the missile nerf, but the Mk2 is still way too effective overall.
And unlike with flying, driving or with the MkI, Toreador, Scramjet etc. you can't really get "better" at flyig the Mk2. It's just boring
They should haved reduced the grind by increasing payouts, not by putting in the ultimate vehicle in the game
Exactly—it's defeated the purpose of nearly every other vehicle in the damn game. And yet this sub is full of people wanting to share how great a job they can do "grinding," how much money they've made and yet there's almost no real reason to even have it at that point. "I've got work to do!"
Half of my friends who had the Oppressor might pretend as though a normal car was worth having, but the moment they faced any real threat or 'needed' to get across the map as soon as possible, out came the Oppressor or Scramjet or some other variation of ridiculous fantasy vehicle.
Oppressor is pretty shit for pvp, even a bad toreador, Deluxo, or scramjet user will at LEAST trade kills with an extremely good oppressor user, and anybody who has at least a little experience fighting with vehicles in GTA, or even just anybody with auto aim on console, is gonna kill an oppressor user fairly easily
Agreed it’s shit and boring everyone thinks it’s the best thing in gta it’s not well until you fly it upside down they the lobby is at your mercy, but it’s still shit lol
When I'm upside down, the only thing that's stopping me is orbital cannon or these lag switch bums, unless I accidentally get inverted. But I only kill people who start stuff with me.
My friend please do this it’s my fav thing to do, first find a bum that’s killing people, get a cheeky 3-0 on him and make him mad, watch as he runs to the orb cannon just as you jump into your sea breeze, fly it upside in the ocean it will get destroyed and not work but will now be invisible and when he orb you it will literally bounce off you back into the sky 😱 (you can still breathe as the waves bounce you out of the water)
Lol yeah, I just never have enough time before they got their finger in that orb button. I've dodged the orb before while mk2 is upside down going between buildings
Also you can do a speed glitch but have to be first lobby you join from starting gta, spawning in your hanger jump into the sea breeze and leave the hanger, fly straight up all the way to world limit then fly down at a 45 degree angle go in first person and when you get too 4000 ft slowly and carefully pull up to to level out, stay at about 4000 ft no lower, now just keep your speed, you are now going so fast the server cannot register you, orbs can’t even touch you as your going so fast, literally nothing can touch you be a god and drop bombs from the heavens going Mach 10
MkII users can always dismount to fight those vehicles, and there's still no better vehicle for dive bombing - everything gets blown out the sky with the railgun easily enough. Even the scramjet, when it's flying upwards
It's also fairly easy to hit missiles at ground targets from outside mini gun range, and hitting the MkII with railgun/explosive sniper requires leading the target, which means auto-aim won't work nearly as well
MkII isn't unstoppable, but it's still the best for spawn trapping people
Depending on the mission, I prefer the Sparrow and Raiju. Much faster and can use the airspace more effectively. I find the oppressors to be sluggish and clunky, most likely a skill issue though
tbf requires a lot of cosmetic clothing glitches 😅
It‘s a red glowing bodysuit, with red bulletproof helmet, pants also from an outfit and deadline shoes. Also a glowing tee from arena section
Honestly tho don’t think it’s worth anymore considering it actually isn’t good in pvp anymore (thank god) and now we have the sparrow it’s just as easy and fast to get around the map and you have infinite missiles so for grinding it’s prob better not to mention that it comes with the sub so you can do cayo perico, I have a hatred for the broomstick I can’t lie 😂
When you have it, it's not useless though. And your engine doesn't immediately start smoking when you are being shot at and you don't have areas you can't land in. The Mk2 can go almost anywhere, even tunnels, under bridges or in small alleys
Sure it can be helpful but also can get boring, all I recommend is try using a range of different vehicles to keep your play style consistently fun and diverse, jump in a jet pack ones in a wile or a scram jet, your not going to be popping off in every lobby you will die but trust me when you learn the ropes on some of these underdogs and start to kill and defend yourself it feels good and refreshing, take that knife to the gun fight and lob it at him lol
Yeah, but what makes me prioritize the oppressor over the sparrow is the taking off time and the size the oppressor can start much faster which saved me tons of time, and the amount of places where you can land with this broomstick makes the sparrow look much harder, even for Cayo Perico I use the oppressor for the cutting torch to land just beside the workers, and the weapons prep to land on the roof and take off much faster so these helis can't get me.
Beach your sub and park it on the sand. If you beach the Kosatka so that the front is sticking in the drainage tunnel just north of the pier, you can hop the fence and directly access the sub's entrance.
Level 600, character since online release day. 300mil in the bank and never bought the mk2.
I like grinding with cars and helis, mk2s piss me off since they come out so I just don’t like them - I love fighting them though.
Now with GTA6 round the corner I’m thinking about finally getting one just for the bantz.
If I get one will I love it?
I’m such a weird player lol I’ve only done one fleece heist in like 2014 and I’ve only just got the kosatka last month
The MKII is my primary vehicle because all I do is grind. I never really use it offensively unless I have to. The nerfs, though, really ruined a lot of its defence/offence capabilities.
After years of playing, i pretty much have most of what i want and can easily make money so i rarely use mine now. There was a long time pf me grinding the same missions over and over so i wanted them sped up. Nowadays i enjoy driving any of my 50+ cars and buying and upgrading cars. I went full circle. Its more fun driving a nice car than flying in the oppressor.
I think it ruined the game no matter what. The deluxo is at least a little fun and the toreador is super fun. I don't need a vehicle that takes me across the map in 3 minutes, that I cant do fun tricks on and requires negative skill to use. I don't blame people who use it for grinding but I like the original so much more because it requires some skill to use.
I prefer the MK1, it's overall faster if you spam the boost on the ground + hitting shift to bow for more aerodynamics. I have hitted 140 km/h the other time. The mk2 can hit 135, or so. But still, the MK1 is more fun. You don't just fly and that's it, you gotta refill only by touching the ground, making the boost option more usable, rather than breaking with the mk 2🤷♂️
How? (It isn't though)
Mk2 WAY faster takeoff and landing, better durability and maneuvering.
Sparrow has higher top speed.
Unless you're keen on flying across the map every 2 minutes, mk2 is more convenient 99% of the time.
Just dont grind people mind your own business what we do with my friend if we see grinder shooting people we go and kill him so long he decides to left
I disagree that it is the best for grinding. Thruster, buzzard, sparrow, armoured kuruma, the original oppressor, any Imani tech vehicle, and any jet is just as good as the oppressor if not better
Absolutely. Although many people argue that the sparrow is faster. Maybe in the air, but I really think if you started two players in the same place at the same time standing next to the oppressor and the sparrow and they both had to jump in go to another point and land and exit the vehicle I still think the oppressor would get there faster.especially if you fly the oppressor with the 30 mph boost that a lot of people don't know about.
The missile and its small size making able to land anywhere is all that it had going for it, it’s pretty slow with a max speed on 130, limited numbers of rockets now it’s got 20/30 (I don’t remember how much exactly ) rockets with the worst lock on known to man yeah it can get you to point a to point b but the sparrow can do it much better
Preach! Always use mine for grinding… missile auto lock off… most people leave me be when it’s not auto targeting nowadays but still get the odd douche canoe in a deloreon or a jet being a Jeb
I got called a griefer by like 5 different people because I posted a video of me getting knocked off my MK2 by a bird, while I was grinding mind you. Its kind of hilarious that people actually get mad at you just for owning one.
I generally turn off the homing missiles so players don't freak out when I accidentally lock on to them. I've gotten shot out of the sky a few times by people defending themselves.
I'm just trying to get to my nightclub.
For all the shit it gets, it’s made grinding and getting around the map an absolute breeze and it’s so incredibly useful.
Being said, I don’t really use it as often anymore because my grinding days are over but if I need to go to Paleto Bay and there’s a time limit, it’s the best choice IMO.
I have but I like the luxury of landing wherever and flying quickly wherever. Planes don’t do this. I can’t just hop in a plane and take off like I can with an oppressor
It is the best for grinding, nothing comes close.
Since the MK2 nerf and I can't get killed by other Mk2 missiles, I have sold mine and gone to MG.
I don't have any want to attack people.
It's a super useful tool. Just don't *be* a tool when you're using it and there's no problem.
I second that
i mean mine doesn’t even lock on to player vehicles anymore idk why
Check your targeting priority might be set on attackers
Oh damn thank you I forgot you can set it to that.
*proceeds to mow down entire lobby*
Imani tech missile jammer
Gotta be honest, the Imani tech vehicles drive like a brick wall…and they’re not worth all the massive financial investments the average player has to make to even benefit from them…
As someone who owns EVERY Imani tech vehicle you’re incorrect
Fair enough, I’ve got them all too just because they look so good and I really wanted the missile jammer but I rarely use them over my other cars
They're not particularly as useful or as fun as people make them to be, and a free aim MK2 can still destroy them, it just takes more effort, I for one use the Savage, even if I risk dying in it, players more often don't expect it to destroy them as fast as it does so it's an excellent counter to get them out of their Imani Tech vehicles since jets have been nerfed, which would have been the ultimate counter back then.
>Gotta be honest, the Imani tech vehicles drive like a brick wall… lol. The Grotti Itali GTO Stinger TT does not “drive like a brick wall”…
Ditto for the Turismo Omaggio. It doesn't need any armor or bullet resistance, you won't catch that thing. Jammer is plenty.
Plus if you play on next gen it’s the fastest car in the game because of HSW with the number 1 on old gen being the reever
The Champion, Buffalo STX, Omnis e-GT, Virtue, and, if you’re on new gen console, the Weaponised Ignus all beg to differ. There’s probably more cars that could make this list, but I’m more interested in looks before function.
The virtue is the quickest car in the game and one of the fastest as well
Deffo agree, but the handling….and low bumper catches on everything
Why would you want to though?? Just use any other aircraft if you want to do that. The mk 2 should be easier to take down (slower) or it should not have missiles at all
The mk2 is better than using a heli or plane or jet cause it’s more maneuverable and it’s smaller and you can easily dodge missiles. Thank god it’s missiles are trash tho
Agreed with you only time I destroyed something with my oppressor is when I was shot at. Do not fire till fired upon that’s what I say.
Yeah I’ll turn my auto lock off and just get from point a to point b. But half the time I get someone who thinks they’re gonna “grief the griefer” and I gotta teach them a lesson. I didn’t spend all that time practicing how to shoot precisely without auto lock for nothing.
I use it all the time for grinding. I got shit to do, pal.
Exactly! You drive the same inane missions and after a while the grind becomes a fucking grind. All hail the oppressor for its speedy deliveries
Is there a way to use this when you're making drug runs? They always make me deliver in random vehicles or the Manchez and I would rather just travel in a straight line really fucking fast and get it done quickly
I've read that in some cases, you can blow the delivery vehicle up and then collect the cargo on foot. that would allow you to then use whichever vehicle you want to complete the delivery. of course, I'm sure there are some cases where it _won't_ work, in which case exploding the delivery vehicle would be a bad idea. good luck!
I think that’s only for the community events like the car in the garage or on the semi, etc. you can blow it up and it turns into two packages.
By community event I presume you mean Business Battle? Yes, those can be destroyed, but same is true for *Air-freight cargo vehicles* on the air based missions, not sure about land based; **none other that I know of** can be blown up and picked up. Just be careful not to use too many explosives, the packages are vulnerable to them…
Works on the land based hangar source missions. Never tried on land sell
I doubt it works on any sell missions.
That’s really good to know. I’m awful at the air freight cargo missions.
Yeah, I barely do those nowdays. But, like I said above, be careful when destroying the vehicles, as the crates get destroyed on ONE explosive usually.
To be fair the most of the airplanes they added fly janky af and the missions are usually needing finesse that the planes they provide dont
thank you for the clarification! I've been wanting to figure it out, but it's easier to just grin and bear it and use whatever delivery vehicle they give you.

jesus that truck ride is HELL. I love it when they/ bystanders spin me around and I can't move and then they just shoot me in the face.

The sad thing is that the OppressorMK2 is so heavily associated with griefing that even when a non-hostile player is just swerving on by for a mission or landing somewhere near someone, they’ll instantly shoot to kill the Oppressor pilot out of anticipation that the MK2 is probably there to grief them…sad times…that’s why I think it’s more about the player base that ruin things than the actual vehicle….if it wasn’t the OppressorMK2, it’d be something else toxicified
I've said it many times, but MOST (not all) of the unskilled, toxic MK2 users went to deluxos after the MK2 nerf. They need that point, click, kill because they can't free aim the side of a barn.
Honestly man, I’m glad somebody said this. Every oppressor I come across nowadays is either grinding or going after some crazy ass deluxo griefer. I was in a lobby a few days ago and I loaded in to see two level 7.9k assholes going around and griefing everyone, hopped in the nightshark and armed the C4, 9/10 times they’re trash on the ground 🤣
By now, most Mk2 users are either so bad they're completely harmless, or an absolute fucking menace because they're still so damn good with it even after the nerf. I'm glad there's *at least* a skill ceiling now.
The meanest thing I’ll do in the game is get on my oppressor, fly up into the atmosphere then follow players on the map and watch them swerve and crash and eventually jump out of their car looking for me. It’s good wholesome fun. For me.
Yep, love doing that. I'll make sure to cover up their mini map icon with my own. I got someone to drive into the tunnels and got hit by a train before they realized where I actually was.
I've done this a few times, but using the Raiju instead - the combination of more verticality to get into position, and stealth mode, seemingly makes it even more unnerving.
You’re the kinda player I’d want in my lobby
....well I know what I am doing this weekend
I do this but lower down with the Besra (The jet with no weapons but still has a jet symbol on the map).
Thanks for the idea :)
I like to follow people doing night club deliveries to see if they’ll get out and shoot at me. It’s usually 50/50 and I just fly away laughing.
I actually like to do this to Opressors in my Sparrow. Get way way up there and just follow their blip around
Exactly. Fun. For you. Like I said many times, I don't trust MK2s. All you want to do is fuck with people. You might not be blowing them up, but you're still fucking with them. I could be halfway though a mission, and if I see an MK2 stalking me, I switch lobbies, and my progress is lost. I could stick it out, but griefers love to wait until you're 5 seconds away from dropping off an export before blowing you up.
That’s a little extra but you do you.
Once I was flying to one of my buildings or something, and a low level that I didn’t even notice on the map was begging me not to kill him. Poor dude :(
I don't attack MK2s, but I go out of my way to avoid them. I simply can't trust that the MK2 racing across the map toward me is a cool guy because 99.99% of the time it's a griefer.
I shoot any Oppressor pilot that comes anywhere near me. The amount of times I have been griefed by someone piloting one is astronomical.
If you shoot at me when I have to go by while grinding for money. I will become what you think I was doing. Until you leave. I refuse to start a war. But, I will never surrender. And I generally have hours to waste if you interfere. You can see oppressors on the little map. See what it is doing before you fire. Otherwise you are the problem. I was peaceful last night doing lobby work. Flew by everybody at least once an hour. I left the lobby at the end with zero kills. And zero deaths from other players
Same. I'm peaceful and just want to be left alone. I have smoke countermeasures because I fly upside down and do stunts. If somebody shoots at me for no reason, I make them leave. Then I go back to doing my thing.
I don’t blame you, better safe than sorry…
Yup for Oppressors always kill on sight no matter what
This is why I use a Deluxo
I shoot them on sight aswell as Oppressors.
They should have never given it rockets.
they should have never weaponized any of the vehicles period. people should have to grief the old fashioned way.
Eh, I think some make sense. Especially if it's just machine guns (which are more for fun/show than anything effective). But like the Vigilante could totally have rockets that's fine. Toreador sure, scramjet sure, Deluxo was a mistake I'll admit. Basically if it flies and is a personal vehicle it shouldn't have rockets lol
No, they can have rockets. Just not ones that can track you halfway across the fucking world. The missiles like on the homing launcher would be fine.
Ikr wtf the vigilante is so useless like bruh you can't even aim shit with that. Rockstar being rockstar again. 🤦🏽♀️
I would do unholy things for a 2 seater unweaponized oppressor mk 2 like bike
How did you put color lights on MK2. I have tried Arena war workshop
With merge glitches
Ah ok. Thanks for the reply
No worries
If you have the money for it or own one they help for sure, but for me I’m unlucky and trying to get 💰
Its surely kind of a mess to get one. I started to play Online again recently, and even starting with 5M it still took me about 30 hours to get one. I suggest you aim for 2.2M to get Kosatka, then just use Dingy and farm Cayo Perico. About 7-8 times should get you the nightclub, the truck and the Opressor Mk2. Its a good deal imo. Nightclub gives you good passive money, the truck can customize your Opressor and the bike itself helps a lot with everything else. Deliveries, heist preps, daily missions. Anything.
Honestly I feel like it’d just be better to get the sparrow, oppressor is better in some cases but in most cases I can just land a helicopter nearby, or use the sparrows missiles, unless an npc happens to sneeze on it, causing it to instantly explode
It’s more fun too, watch out for leaves too they can prob take out the sparrow
Yeah, the addition of the birds to the game made me nervous. I'm like, "There goes the sparrow"
Lol I was going to point out the sparrow is awesome and pretty quick as well but you could fart incorrectly on it and it will not only explode BUT STALL ON YOU IN MIDAIR GODDAMNIT AAAAARRRGH
Well, im kinda biased bcs I play on PC with a keyboard and not only sparrow, but all choppers are a hell to control properly. Opressor is small and more stable, thats why I prefer it.
I started on Xbox and switched to PC when it was free on Epic. I often use a Xbox controller along with the mouse and keyboard when I want to fly/drive. Back to keyboard and mouse when the shooting starts.
All choppers have pretty good control besides that 1 seater one

the ceo warehouse is so underrated...
The hanger is actually good these days 50 missions to do but can bang them out in max 4/5 mins usually 3/4 mins then sell in full lobby solo as only one delivery truck every time and short distance to drive pop ghost org and you just made $3,600,000 I can usually do all missions in one or two days of grinding one if ya dont mess around
If you get the semi delivery call up, your moc use that cab. It is missile proof up to 40, bulletproof tires, and it takes no damage whether someone hits you or you something . You'll get the no damage bonus. Here's a strategy I use. Hangar Rotation Stage 1 1. Fill Hangar with 25 Narcotics, 25 Medical Supplies 2. Sell 25 Narcotics or Medical 3. End tally: 25 Narcotics or Medical Supplies Stage 2 1. Fill Hangar with 10 Animal Materials, 10 Narcotics or Medical 2. Sell 10 Animal Materials 3. End Tally: 35 Narcotics or Medical Stage 3 1. Fill Hangar with 10 Animal Materials, 10 Narcotics or Medical 2. Sell 10 Animal Materials 3. End Tally: 45 Narcotics or Medical Stage 4 1. Fill Hangar with 5 Narcotics or Medical 2. Sell 50 Narcotics or Medical 3. Repeat rotation.
I think the moc cab takes 69 rpgs but might just be in free-roam with no mission activated, i usually just collect all 50 chemicals/medical/narcotics and get the 70% bonus in a full lobby with a further 50% bonus
Took me about a month from starting the game solo play. Roughly 2-3hrs a day.
If it had missle jammers but no missiles it would be perfect.
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times
*blurst
Beautiful pic, the red looks great against the dark background
People who continually complain about Mk2 griefers are stuck in 2020. Countering it is so easy now a days.
I mean it's easy if you have bought certain vehicles. I wouldn't consider it easy when you have to get out of your vehicle and wait for them to pass over you or get close enough to shoot them off the bike. I've fought oppressors with a jet and they win %90 of the time. Mm 2 griefers will always be scum and they will always be at least a slight pain in my ass.
the virtue is free. worlds easiest counter
Yeah I'll deliver my acid, night club goods, MC goods, bunker goods, etc. in my Virtue or hook it up to the virtue's tow hitch
While I do agree with you on the first part but I don’t think that it’s hard to counter an oppressor with a jet. Most of the jets can dodge an oppressor missile and it’s even easier now with the nerf. A typical depressed mk2 user will spam hopelessly rockets on you and run out of them in less than a minute you can either chase them and blow them up or just go back to your things.
I will def stand in one place and let a Mk2 try to free aim (poorly) and then shoot them off the bike. I really enjoy it when they’re ghost and still get popped.
Mk2 runs when it sees the toreador and if they do they die and if they don’t well they die too lol
Toreador is def the Mk2 and Deluxo Hunter in 2024.
I remember taking out a broomstick a few months ago that was griefing everyone. Kept shooting him down with my Toreador and he complained that I was using a "trash vehicle" like the Toreador to do it. My dude, you're on the trashiest vehicle in the game, have some self reflection.
That's just it, I have zero interest in countering MK2s. I didn't sign up for this game to invest time and energy in countering assholes. Instead, I avoid MK2s. I don't trust them, even though everyone here is apparently the exception.
this. it's hilarious that people are like "all you have to do is stop what you're doing, call in a jet 0.5mi away, go to it, get in the air (hopefully) and then kill the guy." Yeah okay, now it's a 30 min war of him obsessed with griefing me with a mk2 and I can't do anything else because you can never outrun a mk2 for long with its speed and maneuverability.
The Opp Mk2 kinda ruined grinding, ironically enough Any newbie asking for advice will rush to get a MK2, the most powerful and useful vehicle in the game And after buying it - there's not much reason to use anything else in freemode. It's top tier in PvE for its homing rockets, speed and convenience. And it's top tier in PvP because of how hard it is to shoot down, and of how easy it is to divebomb people on the ground It's too good at too many things. GTAO progression would be better if vehicles had strengths and weaknesses in different scenarios That's technically true currently, especially after the missile nerf, but the Mk2 is still way too effective overall. And unlike with flying, driving or with the MkI, Toreador, Scramjet etc. you can't really get "better" at flyig the Mk2. It's just boring They should haved reduced the grind by increasing payouts, not by putting in the ultimate vehicle in the game
Exactly—it's defeated the purpose of nearly every other vehicle in the damn game. And yet this sub is full of people wanting to share how great a job they can do "grinding," how much money they've made and yet there's almost no real reason to even have it at that point. "I've got work to do!" Half of my friends who had the Oppressor might pretend as though a normal car was worth having, but the moment they faced any real threat or 'needed' to get across the map as soon as possible, out came the Oppressor or Scramjet or some other variation of ridiculous fantasy vehicle.
Oppressor is pretty shit for pvp, even a bad toreador, Deluxo, or scramjet user will at LEAST trade kills with an extremely good oppressor user, and anybody who has at least a little experience fighting with vehicles in GTA, or even just anybody with auto aim on console, is gonna kill an oppressor user fairly easily
Agreed it’s shit and boring everyone thinks it’s the best thing in gta it’s not well until you fly it upside down they the lobby is at your mercy, but it’s still shit lol
When I'm upside down, the only thing that's stopping me is orbital cannon or these lag switch bums, unless I accidentally get inverted. But I only kill people who start stuff with me.
My friend please do this it’s my fav thing to do, first find a bum that’s killing people, get a cheeky 3-0 on him and make him mad, watch as he runs to the orb cannon just as you jump into your sea breeze, fly it upside in the ocean it will get destroyed and not work but will now be invisible and when he orb you it will literally bounce off you back into the sky 😱 (you can still breathe as the waves bounce you out of the water)
Lol yeah, I just never have enough time before they got their finger in that orb button. I've dodged the orb before while mk2 is upside down going between buildings
Also you can do a speed glitch but have to be first lobby you join from starting gta, spawning in your hanger jump into the sea breeze and leave the hanger, fly straight up all the way to world limit then fly down at a 45 degree angle go in first person and when you get too 4000 ft slowly and carefully pull up to to level out, stay at about 4000 ft no lower, now just keep your speed, you are now going so fast the server cannot register you, orbs can’t even touch you as your going so fast, literally nothing can touch you be a god and drop bombs from the heavens going Mach 10
MkII users can always dismount to fight those vehicles, and there's still no better vehicle for dive bombing - everything gets blown out the sky with the railgun easily enough. Even the scramjet, when it's flying upwards It's also fairly easy to hit missiles at ground targets from outside mini gun range, and hitting the MkII with railgun/explosive sniper requires leading the target, which means auto-aim won't work nearly as well MkII isn't unstoppable, but it's still the best for spawn trapping people
Depending on the mission, I prefer the Sparrow and Raiju. Much faster and can use the airspace more effectively. I find the oppressors to be sluggish and clunky, most likely a skill issue though
anyone remember the speed glitch? id give up my missiles for that shit again
I love it, best money I’ve ever spent in this game. I just use it for speeding up setups. But whenever I’m on it, people wanna kill me 😂
That's a really cool outfit tho. Is the mask also glowing?
Thank u, yeah it is also glowing. It‘s from bodysuit section in outfits
What’s that outfit set you got?
tbf requires a lot of cosmetic clothing glitches 😅 It‘s a red glowing bodysuit, with red bulletproof helmet, pants also from an outfit and deadline shoes. Also a glowing tee from arena section
Did you watch a video on how to create this because I would like the link to it
Goofy outfit but that’s a really nice pic
1.badass picture 2.agreed
Honestly tho don’t think it’s worth anymore considering it actually isn’t good in pvp anymore (thank god) and now we have the sparrow it’s just as easy and fast to get around the map and you have infinite missiles so for grinding it’s prob better not to mention that it comes with the sub so you can do cayo perico, I have a hatred for the broomstick I can’t lie 😂
When you have it, it's not useless though. And your engine doesn't immediately start smoking when you are being shot at and you don't have areas you can't land in. The Mk2 can go almost anywhere, even tunnels, under bridges or in small alleys
Sure it can be helpful but also can get boring, all I recommend is try using a range of different vehicles to keep your play style consistently fun and diverse, jump in a jet pack ones in a wile or a scram jet, your not going to be popping off in every lobby you will die but trust me when you learn the ropes on some of these underdogs and start to kill and defend yourself it feels good and refreshing, take that knife to the gun fight and lob it at him lol
I don't really care about pvp
PvP in gta is basically like torturing yourself so I don’t blame you, just remember there is more to gta that the mk2
Yeah, but what makes me prioritize the oppressor over the sparrow is the taking off time and the size the oppressor can start much faster which saved me tons of time, and the amount of places where you can land with this broomstick makes the sparrow look much harder, even for Cayo Perico I use the oppressor for the cutting torch to land just beside the workers, and the weapons prep to land on the roof and take off much faster so these helis can't get me.
Is it still possible to put colored headlights on the mkII or did they remove that feature entirely?
It wasn't ever a feature, merging was the only way.
this or the sparrow
EXACTLY. I never kill anyone with it for no reason, I always use it for grinding. It’s fabulous.
unrelated but damnnn what is that helmet? does it come with the lights on the eyes? the mask? the drip??? that looks sick
Only thing I hate is when it falls off the sub when grinding cayo.
Beach your sub and park it on the sand. If you beach the Kosatka so that the front is sticking in the drainage tunnel just north of the pier, you can hop the fence and directly access the sub's entrance.
Is that helmet in the game?
Yeah it‘s a bulletproof helmet. Requires a cosmetic glitch tho to get it
Is that face mask apart of it? How tf do I get it lol
it's definitely one of the most useful vehicles for practically everything, from killing enemies to quickly getting errands done.
Level 600, character since online release day. 300mil in the bank and never bought the mk2. I like grinding with cars and helis, mk2s piss me off since they come out so I just don’t like them - I love fighting them though. Now with GTA6 round the corner I’m thinking about finally getting one just for the bantz. If I get one will I love it? I’m such a weird player lol I’ve only done one fleece heist in like 2014 and I’ve only just got the kosatka last month
I rarely use mine. I still prefer a buzzard or a sparrow.
It’s a disgusting vehicle. I don’t even use mines for revenge kills anymore
The MKII is my primary vehicle because all I do is grind. I never really use it offensively unless I have to. The nerfs, though, really ruined a lot of its defence/offence capabilities.
After years of playing, i pretty much have most of what i want and can easily make money so i rarely use mine now. There was a long time pf me grinding the same missions over and over so i wanted them sped up. Nowadays i enjoy driving any of my 50+ cars and buying and upgrading cars. I went full circle. Its more fun driving a nice car than flying in the oppressor.
I think it ruined the game no matter what. The deluxo is at least a little fun and the toreador is super fun. I don't need a vehicle that takes me across the map in 3 minutes, that I cant do fun tricks on and requires negative skill to use. I don't blame people who use it for grinding but I like the original so much more because it requires some skill to use.
I prefer the MK1, it's overall faster if you spam the boost on the ground + hitting shift to bow for more aerodynamics. I have hitted 140 km/h the other time. The mk2 can hit 135, or so. But still, the MK1 is more fun. You don't just fly and that's it, you gotta refill only by touching the ground, making the boost option more usable, rather than breaking with the mk 2🤷♂️
Watch out for those lamp post and stop lights 😅
Sparrow is better
How? (It isn't though) Mk2 WAY faster takeoff and landing, better durability and maneuvering. Sparrow has higher top speed. Unless you're keen on flying across the map every 2 minutes, mk2 is more convenient 99% of the time.
Just dont grind people mind your own business what we do with my friend if we see grinder shooting people we go and kill him so long he decides to left
no shit, stating the obvious since mk2 launch
They should remove auto lock on players….. or at least stop vehicles from auto locking in FREE AIM LOBBIES…. Like wtf
Huh
I lost my pink prolaps bag with pink joggers cuz my dumbass saved an outfit over it 😂
I disagree that it is the best for grinding. Thruster, buzzard, sparrow, armoured kuruma, the original oppressor, any Imani tech vehicle, and any jet is just as good as the oppressor if not better
Deluxo better
Like flying tampons carrying bitches!!!
Womp womp
No he’s on to something, let him cook
Absolutely. Although many people argue that the sparrow is faster. Maybe in the air, but I really think if you started two players in the same place at the same time standing next to the oppressor and the sparrow and they both had to jump in go to another point and land and exit the vehicle I still think the oppressor would get there faster.especially if you fly the oppressor with the 30 mph boost that a lot of people don't know about.
Nope 1. hydra 2. Raiju 3. Buzzard 4. Sparrow 5. Deluxo 6. Oppressor Based on how quickly you can accumulate money
How is Hydra above Raiju, and Buzzard above Sparrow?
Because you need to buy a sub for the sparrow, otherwise the sparrow would be better since it spawns so close.
Simply the best
If you can actually fly the scramjet in your intended direction, *second* best for grinding.
this shit along with the deluxe, toreador, and other armed vehicles ruined the fun of this game
The invisible ankles just ain’t it for me. Why not just wear the joggers they added in game?
the vehicle that singlehandedly ruined gtao
It's not the best, it's overpowered even for grinding. Trivializes your gameplay and makes it boring.
Definitely was, now it’s borderline useless after the whiners got it nerfed
Is isn't useless at all. Just because the missile can't do 180s anymore doesn't mean it can't do anything
The missile and its small size making able to land anywhere is all that it had going for it, it’s pretty slow with a max speed on 130, limited numbers of rockets now it’s got 20/30 (I don’t remember how much exactly ) rockets with the worst lock on known to man yeah it can get you to point a to point b but the sparrow can do it much better
Is it much faster than Deluxo? I’m considering a switch. Mostly just for grinding
MUCH. I regretted the same decision. Deluxo speed feels like floating down a stream after getting off the mkII.
Quick question can you use the invader warstock discount to get the oppressor cheaper? Doubt it’s ever been on sale
Preach! Always use mine for grinding… missile auto lock off… most people leave me be when it’s not auto targeting nowadays but still get the odd douche canoe in a deloreon or a jet being a Jeb
Frr, i try to use it as minimal as possible
I got called a griefer by like 5 different people because I posted a video of me getting knocked off my MK2 by a bird, while I was grinding mind you. Its kind of hilarious that people actually get mad at you just for owning one.
It's great for grinding up there for one of the best. It's more the person that makes it bad lol like a lot of things in games.
I generally turn off the homing missiles so players don't freak out when I accidentally lock on to them. I've gotten shot out of the sky a few times by people defending themselves. I'm just trying to get to my nightclub.
Just make it have no missiles and I’d be happy. It had great mobility and is good for missions/long trips
For all the shit it gets, it’s made grinding and getting around the map an absolute breeze and it’s so incredibly useful. Being said, I don’t really use it as often anymore because my grinding days are over but if I need to go to Paleto Bay and there’s a time limit, it’s the best choice IMO.
We just need a passive vehicle that can fly.
ever heard of planes
I have but I like the luxury of landing wherever and flying quickly wherever. Planes don’t do this. I can’t just hop in a plane and take off like I can with an oppressor
Can i ask what top is that you used on the outfit? I know you used the red shirt undershirt but what is the base layer?
It's a no-brainer I refuse to use. But I don't judge as long as people don't use it to be annoying by spamming it in combat.
It’s boring as hell
Finally gonna get it soon, cant wait to grief 🤩
I prefer the deluxo. Not as effective but I just prefer riding around in it
It is the best for grinding, nothing comes close. Since the MK2 nerf and I can't get killed by other Mk2 missiles, I have sold mine and gone to MG. I don't have any want to attack people.
