Best ways to take down Deluxos / mk2 griefers

[Who is this]

I'm sure everyone of us who are playing online current have been killed numerous amount of times by either Deluxos or Mk2 Opressors. Mostly cuz those players have nothing else to do cuz they own everything in the game already or just get the thrill of seeing people frustrated about being killed by them in chat.

Only grinding players with like millions of dollars seem to stand a chance against them. As the homing launcher is just trash, Rpg won't hit unless they stand still in the air or are close and minigun eh. Just cross your fingers with that one. So why only the people with millions of dollars. They usually have an armoured vehicle or weaponized vehicle that stands a change against them. Opressors work decently wel against both the mk2 and the deluxo even though its mostly a kill for a death situation.

The best way gain an advantage to a deluxo or mk2 that's in the air, is to stay low to the ground, drive head to head towards them if they are driving at you and make sure to fire you're missle when ever your lockon is locked onto them. This way your missle is going to hit them pretty much every time but theirs is going to hit the ground more often than it will hit you. I suggest using a: Scramjet, Vigilante, Opressors, Ruiner 2000, Deluxo or Stromberg.

The first four are adviced because of their boost/ jump ability, allowing you to boost to gain distance between the rocket, if it were to not hit the ground but come after you. Cause usually against the time the missle is near you it has used half of its rocket fuel anyway. Or jump to fake the rockets tracking. Jumping isn't the best as it's random wether the missle will stil be able to hit you or not. Stromberg is semi explosive armored allowing it to be hit by a couple rockets before being blown to bits.

Other possible vehicles are: Insurgent Pick-up Custom, Insurgent (if you're good in throwing stickys or good in far range pistol aiming), APC and Khanjali (sort of). Apc has a good stock cannon and good explosive armor. Though I've never tried APC vs mk2 I can't really tell how much rockets of the mk it can take Before being destroyed. The Insurgent Pick-up Costum and the Khanjali seem to significantly suffer from the mk2 rockets, The Khanjali being only able to take 4/5 rockets of the mk2 before blowing up while it can take 7/8 rpgs before going boom. Insurgent doesn't seem to suffer from it that much but from my experience it also takes Les mk2 rockets for it to be blown up than rpgs.

On foot you're most like gonna use the heavy sniper. Wether it's with or without the mk explosive ammo upgrade or not. It's your best chance as it does the most damage and with a bit of luck you shoot of the mk2 driver easily. With the Mk2 explosive heavy sniper, you can hit the mk2 and Deluxo which after 3 hits will just explode. (which requires a bunker 1+milion, Moc with weapon workshop 1+million, and bunker research, which can be free or not depending on your stock refill style 'steal or buy' and wether you buy the bunker upgrades that make research faster.) And yes if you bought an avanger with weapon workshop (requires facility and the Avanger itself is expensive so don't even bother buying unless it's on discount), or terrorbyte with weapon workshop (which requires a night club though the Terrorbyte is fairly cheap for its armour performances) YOU'LL STILL NEED TO OWN A BUNKER TO DO BUNKER RESEARCH. So don't bother buying an Avanger or Terrorbyte for a weapon workshop.

I'm not including any Air vehicles as the homing on those just is bad. You could try a hydra/Lazer cause of its speed and explosive cannon but Goodluck as mk2 user most likely will use the speed glitch to out run you or send a missle at you when you don't expect it.

The cheapest way to deal with Deluxo and mk2 griefers is to just vote kick or switch lobby. It might give you bad sport if you're on a supply or vip work mission but if your sanity is your life. Just switch lobbys if no one else is willing to kick them.

If you have any other ways to deal with them or have different oppions about my ways to deal with Deluxo / Mk2 oppressor griefers let me know.

All the above plus:

Forcing a solo public (cheap way)

BST with Marksman rifle/Minigun

Explosive sniper (one successful shot dismounts them)

Fully loaded ruiner

[s-d]

Deluxo missles are really OP and will alwayd hit their target (capable of 180 turns somehow)

Oh yea Marksman rifle is good too due high dmg and fast fire rate. And derp forgot the Fully loaded Ruiner. Which has like the most available explosive armour in the game as well as infinite rockets. But can only be used during it's Vipwork Fully loaded. Which makes it a fair vehicle in my opinion.

Yea but so do the Mk2 Opressor rockets, the ones of the Ruiner 2000.. Stromberg and Vigilante I don't know so can't confirm.

They won't be able to lock onto you while in a fully loaded ruiner also which makes them harder to kill you.

Yea thats true and the chance of them using the machine guns on Deluxo and Mk2 is very low so you're pretty much safe in a FL Ruiner 2000 as long as they don't get out their vehicles and use guns.

Doubt they will.. most of them don't even bother with you if they can't lock onto you. They need to protect their precious K/D smh.

Yea their precious k/d, which is all they care about. And if they can't lock on your FL Ruiner 2000. You'll be called out for hacking. Just because it's almost impossible to take you out while you're in it with homing weapons. Cause no one really knows what skills are anymore it seems like.

I am a Chinese, have you ever played with me? Be a friend.

Deluxos are extremely slow and have no armor, if you having problems against them there's nothing I can say, LMAO.

I still believe forcing a solo public is the best thing to counter them. All they want is attention and if you interact with them in any way,shape or form it makes them feel special.

Funny thing happened the other day. I am lvl Sixty-something, and am the prowd owner of a Voltek Coil (no rocket).
I was in passive mode, watching players try to deal with an oppressor. No Joy for them that day, and I felt bad for them. the foolish OP pilot did something amazing. While I was watching, he got off the MK2, and started firing at my ghost from behind it. I ended up knocking him down with his own mk2, and pushing it for a few blocks untill it ended up in a ditch. I almost got it to water, but no luck. It was still funny as all get out for me, though. :)

Yea it is it just play private sessions if your not doing anything with your businesses.

It depends if you're not using a super car a deluxo will catch up and get within lockon range easily.

first you should learn what greifing actually is. its not greifing if the developers intended the game to be that way.
next learn what a solo public lobby is.
