Does anyone know how to counter annoying explosive spammers?

I cannot get inside a lobby and cruise around town without a maniac with a RPG blowing me up and my car for no reason, if im in an Insurgent they just bring out whatever gun they have in their inventory and manage to mow me down in 2 seconds (even when im strafing with a car), literally cannot get rid of them theyre in EVERY SINGLE LOBBY, it is really annoying and it ruins missions and etc, i couldnt find anything about this on the search engine, and youtube only talks about Explosive Ammo which isnt a problem for me since i rarely get into combat, does anyone have a counter strategy for the stupidly annoying explosive spammers? (this goes for all explosives; grenade launchers, rpgs, etc)

My advice is to drive your insurgent in free aim. I'm going to assume it's the opmkll giving you a hard time in which it's very hard to counter especially while driving a basic vehicle. If people on foot are giving you a problem avoid driving near players on foot.

I cant tell if the player is in a car or not, and if hes above or below me (incase of a bridge), thanks for the help anyways,

The Nightshark is faster than the Insurgent but just as resistant to explosives. Also you might want to play in free aim lobbies so others can't lock on to you inside the car.

Note that the Nightshark looks just like a normal vehicle on the map / radar - so nobody will know you're in one until you're close enough for them to see clearly.  The Insurgent shows up as an armoured vehicle - so griefers & K/D kids will alter their tactics before you even get close.

Lonely-Martin

Use an invite only session. 

 

All this heist is accessible from there, so is the casino heist (aside the initial arcade business setup mission).

 

Just bring in friends as you make 'em, or enjoy the peace and invite randoms on jobs if needed/wanted.

I second what a few of the posts said here - free aim and Nightshark are your way to go. Great counter to broomsticks when you have the window plates off and can chuck sticky bombs their way as they try in vain to blow you up with their limited number of missiles. 😂

 

 

The MOC cab is also extremely explosive-resistant if you have a couple gnats flying around.

Nope, the plain Insurgent shows up just like any other vehicle, a white dot. The Pick-Up is what shows differently.

Wrong. That is the Nightshark. Nightshark doesn't show up as armored vehicle, Insurgent does, and you can't tell from the map if it's the turreted one.

But you can usually tell that from the minigun sound approaching you, and if you live long enough, you can sometimes see the owner's bad taste in rims, and his buddy's bad taste in headwear.

Yes, stock rims, I have no taste either. And I keep the stock turret because it has higher DPS, and no spoolup delay at the first shot.

Invite only mode, or glitch into solo public.

The only reason to ever go into a full public lobby is for pure chaos.
