The Oppressor Spoils Freemode Events

[CosmicBuffalo]

I love the bike, but its so annonying on how little effort it takes to use it to grief other players. I would bet that its the number 1 shark card seller in GTAO history. I would guess the hydra previously held that title. At least the hydra takes some effort to learn.

 

And how does R* allow for lockons on biker sales vehicles with this in the game? IE and GR sales cannot be locked on...not that its hard to drive up behind a slow vehicle and spam rockets into it, but lock ons on a garbage truck or post op vans...really?

The Oppressor is the single worst addition to GTA online and perhaps the series as a whole. There is simply no place for this kind of unrealistic sci-fi saints rowish sh*te in GTA and if you're a true fan of GTA (your first GTA or the one you played the most is not V), there's no valid argument you could muster to say otherwise. It pisses me off that R* have stooped to appeasing the spoiled kiddies that have infested the GTA community by adding in this comical joke of a vehicle. I'll never buy one of them because they're further ruining FR online and are just one more little thing that is helping turn this great series down a dark path for its future.

^ Blowing up Oppressors is even easier than Jets. At first, I used cannon against them, but now I just shoot them with homing missles - the bike can't dodge the missles coming from the back. They don't have any Jet-style evading techniques.

 

1) Gain high altitude before engaging the bike.

2) Fly right above the bike on this altitude

3) Make sure the bike is flying and dive, so you aproach it from the back

4) Shoot missles (open areas) or cannon (too close for a missle, too low to the ground) depending on the situation

5)

.

 

I've purposely practices dog-fighting with jets, and now they NEVER hit me with missiles. If they get me then it's either a lucky cannon hit or an even luckier hit with the jet itself (only happened once though, but it was funny).

 

If you're in a jet and fighting someone on an Oppressor who knows how to use it very well, then you're not even going to come close. You'll spend your time flying away from their missiles and then trying to get that quick run on them when they refresh their missile count on the ground. I also have a very reliable tactic for doing that with minimal risk too.

 

Basically, the more time I spend on the Oppressor, learning how to survive and kill, the better I get at both those things. I head straight for all attack vehicles and 9 times out of 10 I will win.

^ Yeah it will f*ck up a jet, even the best jet will basically be looping forever until I get one in from the right angle.

 

The oppressor turns (umm, backflips and negative-g dives, I mean) way tighter than a jet's missiles, especially in Editor Mode

 

Also just wallride your way to higher than maze bank and the f*cker never knows where you are.

Super easy to sh*t on absolutely everything when you do the no fall off glitch + lighter bike glitch

Just great the thing constantly heals you too.

[Furry_Monkey]

Yep - the fact that they don't see an indicator of whether you're above or below them means most of my jet kills start with them strafing the ground while I'm diving down to their height. They pull up, which slows them enough, and I loose a ton of missiles.

 

Then they go passive and get another Hydra and follow me around for hours

[Xiled]

I wish we could use the oppressor in time trials to see what the best possible time is achievable. And before you say that would be too easy this one by me proves that they are already easy in an 811.

[Gridl0k]

The time trials are old enough that they should have let it in, it's not like it's OP in financial terms, I had to buy a f*cking bunker, lorry, etc to get this thing.

 

I haven't seen a random complete a time trial in months, they're dead.

 

OK, I'll be honest, I NEEEEEED to complete Down Chiliad. And not just complete, smash my boot into its stupid face as I fly past on my spacebike.

nonono making $50k a week with help from your multi-million dollar investment wouldn't be fair, heck making $20k in setups isn't cool either! But freeroam events are ok because R*easons

R* logic has dumbfounded scientists for centuries.

Pff, i just call in my ruiner, slap a sticky on the back, wait for the oppressor to approach, fire 2 rockets at it and blow myself up with the sticky. Good luck dodging those ruiner-rockets pal.

 

Meanwhile as biker MC's they just insta-spawn another oppressor while you have to wait several minutes before calling another ruiner and spending another 20k to blow em up

 

Then i just call in the FL ruiner and instagib every oppressor he spawns. Also, pc-player here. So no insurance or bullsh*t-points.

[CosmicBuffalo]

One good thing about the oppressor is that most players probably quit fast tracking things after unlocking the missiles.

 

Out of all the oppressor taken down which has been many, maybe two of them were actually decent and had explosive ammo as well. So, I blow them up, explosive sniper.

 

The funny thing for both decent players was that they foolishly hamstrung themselves as an mc, so they could call in the bike over and over. So once we are the ground, they either get spawn killed or required to ewo no stop.

 

If anyone tries to dive bomb you with it, simply run lateral to their incoming direction.

While it can be fun to fly around and shoot stuff, things like the oppressor shouldn't be in GTA, that's what Saints Row was for.

R* started ripping off Saints Row when they went for todays arcade style handling/damage to appeal more to the young kids among us. People aren't ready for a more realistic and IMO a more fun GTA game i guess. Not Saiyan if should be dead serious, however at this point GTA simply is going in the opposite way of what i would like it to go. At this point R* looks like a monkey trying to fck a football when it comes to GTA.

Loose is fast and on the edge of out of control, It's easy to not wreck when you're going slow.

The Oppressor is also handy for the open your parachute lowest to the ground freemode event. Its pretty easy to get 10 feet or lower, and you can just call it back to you and go again. No need to destroy a plane or helicopter on every attempt and get a new one for your next try.

[Neuling2000]

It's Great isn't it?

How can you jump over 24000 feet? Glitched Oppressor?

10 feet? Try 0.3 feet.

How can you jump over 24000 feet? Glitched Oppressor?Yea, but you don't need to glitch it, can glide from Chilliad to the City with one that isn't glitched. I also started that event late, left my Biker clubhouse and the countdown was at 2seconds so went back in and got my Oppressor and went up Chilliad. 30-35000 would probably be a good guesstimate if could do it from start to finish.

Don't need a valid argument. Just look at Armed air crafts and especially jets with unlimited magic ammo. Always on blips and BST. Land vehciles that can take 8 or more explosives to blow up. And the FL ruiner.

 

Talk about un-realistic. In what world can you by a unlimited life time supply of fighter jets if you just buy ONE jet.. that comes with unlimited magic ammo..

 

The flying bike is just the cherry on top.. of a bullsh*t sundae.

 

Next update i just assume a mini nuke launcher Fallout style will be added.. Why not? This game lost its edge a long time ago. Who cares?

The unlimited ammo made sense in story mode, but indeed, the makers of this game have stopped going for quality long long time ago.

[elfoam]

I understand why people don't like it because you can rip a lobby apart on it so easily but it's sooooooooo much fun to ride/fly around. Easily the most funnest thing in the game. Takes great skill and practice to get really good on it too.

[Fidzy]

I've always been 'for' a lot of things that have been added since the start of online, more things makes it more immersive in a way. The only thing in 4 years that I highly disagree with (apart from the flying ruiner) is the oppressor. The days where you had to strategically plan missions with aircraft and other stuff is long gone, instead just hop on a superbike that dodges traffic, is nice and small and can fly (???)

[SHADOW OPS]

It doesn't fly. It falls...with style.

[LL Cool L]

hipsters all of you...hating on the best item lool

maybe it shouldn't have been added but it has now and I love it, I don't even use it to fight, just travel....

 

I reason ill say it is fair is because it s available for everyone, you don't need to spend real money or pre order or have a limited edition version of the game

if two oppressors are trying a freemode event then the better player wins right

 

remember when the tank was a beast? when some1 pulled it out what did you do? grab yours, fight fire with fire.....

What about the players who didn't had the tank, or explosives to fight against it? f*ck them, right?

Same sh*t with the opressor, really.

 

So if you want to win those events, you gotta pay for millions for the bike to have a chance, otherwise you lose.

 

In other words, that is pay-to-win, and you are advocating it, good to know.

 

And it's also good to know that you have no idea how to make a balanced gameplay, but I will give you a clue:

 

-If you have to use an item to win against other player, because the other player is also using said item and no other item in the game can counter it, this makes said item overpowered.

Can't own it because cockstar whiped my legit money AND because cockstar did not provide the space for it to be stored.

The days the tank was so insane were hellish and stupid.

 

Heck, as much as i miss the days just after heists was released and just before the LTS update, the days when the tank ruled were even worse then now.

Once you get enough practice with the Oppressor, especially combined with the lightweight glitch, you can use it as a mini jet against ground players and other aircrafts. Plus, the Oppressor is much harder to take out compared to a jet. Before, it was the jets' turn; now, it's the Opressors' turn.

 

They may have limited rockets, but with the MC, you can call it in within a few seconds, regardless of where you are, and get your rockets back just like that.
