Counters to Oppressor Mk II

NOTICE: UPDATES ARE POSTPONED INDEFINITELY AS I CAN NOT AFFORD NEW VEHICLES/EQUIPMENT FROM RECENT UPDATES OR TIME TO GRIND FOR THEM

Lists all methods of countering the Oppressor Mk II I know of. Sorted by increasing difficulty and decreasing effectiveness. All vehicles listed below are assumed to have a driver/pilot inside and non-Pegasus vehicles fully upgraded.

Note that the guide:

• Considers only the situation when the opponent is on the Oppressor Mk II (not situations when the opponent is on foot, in a car,...) and the bike has missiles.
  
• Assumes that money and unlocks aren't a problem. If you can't afford any of the below counters, ignore the opponent and move on.
  
• Only includes legit methods and at most unpatched glitches or exploits created by Rockstar themselves, not cheats from third parties.
  
• Does not include counters to the methods listed so amateur Oppressor spammers won't gain much from this guide.
  
• Does not include detailed instructions for individual methods.
  
• Only considers free aim targeting mode.
  
• Is serious and does not list (near) impossible methods like "2 Baguette's on an Italian scooter" or "passive Cargobob carrying an NPC-driven Rhino aiming at the hoverbike" as appropriate counters.
  
• Only provides knowledge to counter against Oppressor Mk II users, not skills.

Tips

- Enable First Person Vehicle Hood in Settings-Camera to:

1. Aim weapon higher in first person while in a car.
   
2. Remove view-blocking interior of aircraft, showing only the crosshair (aside from Starling).

- Use BST when fighting an Oppressor Mk II on foot
- Suicide to deny K/D farmers' kill
- Politely thank and decline any generous sack of salt gifted by your friendly Hogwarts graduate neighbor.

[Geddy]

Turn on first person nose camera in the settings, get a lazer, fly circles if the fag shoots rockets at you, gain altitude doing that, and strike from above and then spawncamp them to hell. Simple.

[andrewtay]

if you are crafty you can use atomizer and after they fall, just shotgun them
