How to use the OPPRESSOR MK2 for good!

Are you tired of griefers hunting you down with the Oppressor MK2? Do you want to see if the vehicle has ANY good sides? Do you wish to use it yourself but are afraid of people telling you that you are a griefer? Then this is the right guide for you! :D

Introduction

Do you sometimes get griefed when doing sell missions? Do you get griefed when doing vehicle cargo? Do you wish to see if the infamous "Oppressor MK2" has any good sides at all except being a top pick vehicle for griefers? Well then you stumbled across the right guide! :)


( This guide has tips on how to protect yourself as well. )

What is it good for overall?

Let's set aside the griefers and griefing for a moment. Let's focus on what the oppressor has to offer. First of all it is a very fast vehicle! If on the road it can reach up to 130 mph ( 209 kmh ).
Gaining Altitude is quite easy on this vehicle because of the rechargable rocket booster.
It can propel you up into the air easily in a bit less than a second!

The rocket booster recharges when the player stops going forward, it recharges fairly quickly and you can use it in the air as well. It doesn't help much with speed, but it does help with, as stated before with gaining altitude while on the ground.

Now, i know it doesn't really do much but design-wise it does look pretty cool. It has the aerodynamic design which is sleek and good looking at the same time.

The Oppressor MK2 is the among the best vehicles for transportation. It can get you from the bottom of the map to the top fairly quickly. That is why it's useful for many missions which are mentioned later. You can fly high to avoid players or low near the ground to have fun passing by cars at insane speeds.

Overall: It is an amazing vehicle for transportation.

What good can i do with it?

Now that you know what the Oppressor MK2 is good for overall, it is time to ask the question. "What good things can i do with this vehicle?" Well, first of all you can help yourself. How? Easily, you can use it to traverse the map like a meteorite at blazing speeds. It can help you when you are doing heist preparations for example. It can help you when you are resupplying your businesses. ( Go around the map to visit all the businesses you own to resupply them, unless of course you own the arcade then you can resupply them there. )

You can equip it with homing missile launchers to help you kill enemies while doing heist preparations.
( For example, steal the plasma cutter - you have enemies guarding the plasma cutter
Steal the Longfin - you have enemies guarding the Longfin, and so on )
You can use the Oppressor MK2 to do VIP and CEO missions faster. For VIP missions the Oppressor MK2 makes Headhunter and Sightseer missions easier. And for CEO missions you can use it to get to your vehicle and special cargo warehouse faster.
It can also help with MC Business sell missions.

You can hover above water while sitting in the Oppressor MK2. That can help you get to your kosatka faster if you are in a hurry or if a player is chasing you.


Also you can complete business battles fairly quickly if your competition is using cars as transportation. You have the advantage because you can deliver the business battle goods quicker than they can.

*Note: Stealing vehicle cargo or destroying motorcycle club Product doesn't earn you much. It's just not worth it. It ruins other people's hard work and as stated, doesn't earn you much.

How do i defend myself against griefers?

Now that you know how to use your Oppressor MK2, and what good you can do with it, it's time to learn how to defend yourself against people who have nothing better to do than go after you and grief you. First off i am going to list a few vehicles that can easily tank the Oppressor MK2 even with homing missile launchers installed on it.

• MOC ( Mobile Operations Center ) - It is a truck that can tank 70 Missile shots from an Oppressor MK2, so if you only have this vehicle it is perfect to use because the griefers will get bored and leave you alone. ( Not many people will want to shoot 70 missiles at you. Probably* )
  
  
  ( Mobile Operations Center is the Truck and the Trailer )
  
  
• Nightshark - It is an SUV that can tank 20 Missile shots from an Oppressor MK2. It is faster and easier to drive when compared to the MOC. You can add extra armor to it, but you won't be able to shoot out of it or throw sticky bombs and such.
  
  
  
• Toreador - It is a sports car than can tank 6 homing missile shots from an Oppressor MK2. It can drive in water, and has a very aggresive missile tracking system. ( Also has unlimited missile shots compared to the Oppressor's 20 Missile capacity. )
  
  
  
• Imani Tech Vehicles - They are vehicles that you can put the Missile lock on Jammer on, so that the Oppressor MK2 Griefers need to aim at your vehicle more precisely. ( They will get bored and leave you alone ) You can also put armor plating on those vehicles so that you are able to tank 10 Homing Missiles.
  
  
  ( This is the Buffalo STX, one of the vehicles capable of Imani Tech Upgrades. )

2022 Nerf

This year, 2022, Rockstar Games announced what updates are to come in the following months.
They said that The Criminal Careers, or Businesses will be getting an expansion. Alongside businesses the missions will be getting a little update as well.

But of course the main thing that is coming to GTA Online is the Oppressor MK2 Nerf or Downgrade. They said: "This update will also feature some changes that have been long-requested by the community — such as reducing the effectiveness of homing missiles and countermeasures on the Oppressor Mk II..."

This is a big step in the right direction. It will help take away the power from the griefers and the grinders will not be seeing a massive difference overall. Rockstar Games seems to be listening to the community's wishes.

Final Thoughts

I know this wasn't a long guide. I am not going to lie to you to some people there are more bad sides to the Oppressor MK2 than the good sides. However i hope this guide has given you a new look on things and at least helped you a bit. :D

The nerf really hasn't done anything except halve the capacity of the flares and chaff, the lock-on missiles are still pretty good

I use mk2 for travel and countering griefers with their own medicine

If you hold down the handbrake button you can go as fast as on the ground while in the air.
