What are the top 5 OP weapons for PvP?

 

Is the mk.II revolver any good?

Kidding. Revolver Mk2 with hollow point was good, but now it's not one shot kill anymore. Consider Mk2 rifles apart from Assault rifles with armor-piercing ammunition, explosive for sniper to combat air targets (FMJ + Bullshark is close, but not that close), FMJ for Mk2. MG and explosive shotgun to counter vehicles in close proximity.

 

But keep in mind that the damage may be offset by lag and the general foot PvP in GTAO is mostly a joke.

 

More detailed data you can find in a dedicated thread made by Gaffa™.

It all depends on the situation, you just have to know which weapon to use at any given time, for example against an armored insurgent you wouldn't use the shotgun with explosive ammo because that would only tickle it hahah, you have to aim straight to the driver with the minigun, or another fast high damage weapon if you aren't level 120 to be able to have the minigun.

 

And its the same with almost every other situation, there is not just 1 wep that does it all.. but if i had to say which one is the most important, its the marksman rifle, on foot and medium distance it's the best wep overall.

[Gaffa]

I found the power button works a treat. Use it as the "get out of jail free" card, because a battle that isn't fought is one that's already won. Right?

I dont think any weapons are really OP other than the heavy sniper with explosive rounds. Some may say the homing launcher but idk I think its been broken for years, it can be op like 25% of the time when it works lol

Starling

Mkii explosive sniper

Pyro

I think you really only need one of the Starling or Pyro (and for me it's the Pyro). The Akula warrants a mention if we're talking vehicles - permanent off-radar is not to be slept on. Also don't sleep on the explosive pump shotgun. That thing will kill low levels in one hit or knock down higher levels from a surprising distance, making it the new king of close-range combat (especially in auto-aim lobbies).

 

Also marksman or combat MG + BST is still ultra-sparkly in on-foot warfare. If you can get them out of their Deluxo/Khanjali/jet for half a damn second, and you know how to aim and are willing to keep spending money on BST drops, you can quickly make people hate you.

 

Last but not least, those long-range RPGers are a perpetual thorn in my side. The RPG isn't sexy anymore but it still is a 1SK weapon with a long range and essentially infinite ammo thanks to the interaction menu.

IMO, I don't consider both the Pyro and the Starling OP.

 

I mean, unless your name is GhillieMaster, it's pretty hard to effectively grief with both of them with missiles or bombs alone.

 

Now, the Hydra and Lazer? Those are the definition of OP even in the current meta of Oppressors, Deluxos, Explosive sniper rounds and the Orbital Cannon.

 

Sure, now we have more tools than ever to counter them but in the rare case you encounter someone who basically lives in his jet, well, you're pretty f*cked thanks to it's bullsh*t, one hit kill, infinite, recoiless, lacking of cooldown Explosive Cannons with overly generous splash damage radius.

 

Yeah, I hate those jets.

[Smooth Longsack]

^^^ I agree with all that but there are situations, vastly different, that the starling and pyro absolutely shine. For one, the starling is the only vehicle capable of escaping a camped(entrenched and waiting enemy) hangar exit.

[Sentinel Driver]

Orbital cannon obviously, free kill if you're willing to pay for it but to be fair it's way too impractical to be really used seriously

Avenger is quite powerful I'd say. You are literally immortal while you're inside the gun bay. You can set up autopilot and get some spawn kills on people doing things like piracy prevention or stand your ground

Jets with explosive cannons (hydra and lazer) are the best for fighting against ground targets from air. Pyro and starling are best dogfighters

Lots of combat happens with vehicles nowadays, ground combat is bst, explosive and suicide abuse mostly.

Speaking of abuse, passive mode is a powerful tool but I'd say that it's absolutely pathetic to abuse it. Use it to preserve your kd ratio and get cheap surprise attacks on people

What makes deluxo so powerful especially now that the speed glitch has been patched?

it flies at a low speed, limited number of missiles, no armor, restricted by pv rules (like spawning it has cooldown unlike opressor), countered by fully loaded ruiner, stromberg and driver is exposed to gunfire (especially in autoaim)

I just leave that here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For f*cks sake, little did I know how maneuverable those friggin Deluxo missiles are.

No kidding

True story.

 

Also, Voodoo-Hendrix: it depends on how you view overpoweredness. The jet is still one of the only things in this game where you can just overwhelm multiple enemies and farm kills rapidly (along with the Khanjali, which is 2018's version of the 2013 Rhino). But the Pyro and Starling give you the ability to fly around the map essentially unmolested, vulnerable to almost nothing else except another Pyro, Starling, or the orbital cannon. Jets should very rarely beat you due to your much higher maneuverability - even the Lazer can't match it. And their quickness, agility and smaller body makes them hard to snipe too (though not impossible). So while you're not going to get as many kills as rapidly as you can with the Hydra, you can rule the skies and spray missiles at ground targets just for the lulz and occasional random kill, while everyone else finds it exceedingly hard to make you stop.

[Error2k]

Revolver MK2 is number one if you are playing on auto aim servers (aka the way this game was intended to be played).

But when it comes to weapons-weapons, not weaponized vehicles, you got:

 

Explosive Shotgun

Assault Shotgun

Minigun

Combat MG MKII

RPG

Explosive Sniper

 

There's your Top 5. 6 if you count the Explosive Sniper that got nerfed.

You dont even have to pay for it. Take your shot, close the app and its free.

After ghost org the cannon is the worst addition to free mode imo.

Players are running to the cannon even after you get only a single kill on them.

Then it turns into a waiting game for that player to leave the facility. Horrible decision by R and it has ruined pvp even more so than it already was. Due to the cannon and ghost org I spend more time playing with my dick while in a lobby than playing the game.

Ghilliemaster is my gta bestie. I'm one of only fifteen members in the R8 clan. I've been in the crew for three years and still haven't been promoted. Pretty exclusive... LOL

 

Edit - post seems too bragadocious. It's just cool to see ghillie's yt channel blowing up. He's always been the best player I've seen and we were in a crew with 300 tryhards like reconcileme and the shatteredskies gang. We've been to gta hell and back together.

If we're talking about ground combat, then here's some good guns to use.

 

1 - Heavy Sniper (nothing can beat it, one hit kill on any player below rank 100)

2 - Bullpup Rifle (the fire rate absolutely shreds people)

3 - Combat MG (the damage is devastating)

4 - Advanced Rifle (generally great)

5 - Marksman Rifle (deny it all you want, this weapon is just too good)

 

Mind you that these are no way in order. These are just the top 5 weapons I could think about off the top of my head. Obviously there's more good weapons like the Assault Shotgun and the Pump Shotgun MKII (with explosive slugs), but I wanted to list some examples that are not always talked about.

In the right hands these weapons are brutal

We may have a new OP vehicle. I just saw a guy doing the speed glitch on his oppressor, first Ive seen or heard of this. Dude gained altitude and out ran my jet easily.

It was on ps4. I was flying and saw the arrow on his dot pointing up so I was like wtf. I approached and found him way up in the clouds. I went after him but he took off just as fast as the glitched deluxos.

Gross. Well I'm sure it'll be all over YouTube soon (if it's not already), and patched within hopefully a month or two after. I was pleasantly surprised when they jumped on the Deluxo glitch, that one was obnoxious.

[GhillieMaster]

The Oppressor speed glitch is nowhere near as bad as the Deluxo Speed glitch. For the Oppressor one it requires some setup and cannot be triggered wherever you want. Also you can only go in one direction at super speed.

[Is this The Guy?]

Lol I had to look up what the Starling and Pyro were.

 

But mine is...
