What’s arguablyGrandTheft Auto Online’smost powerful vehicle, the Oppressor Mk II, is now being sold at a discount, which is a terrifying thought for players worried about balancing issues. The Mk II is a rocket-powered, flying motorcycle that comes with a variety of features to make it one of the most effective weapons theGrand Theft Autohas to offer.
Normally, the Mk II is sold in the game’s store for thehefty in-game price tagof close to four million dollars. However, with the bike currently at 30% off, the arguably game-breaking firepower of the Mk II might just end up in the hands of quite a few players who otherwise wouldn’t have access to it.

Despite being one ofthe game’s most rare vehicles, the Oppressor Mk II truly lives up to its name, providing users with an arsenal of tools to dominate the skies. The Mk II not only comes with a speed boost, but it can be customized with explosives firing machine guns or lock-on homing missiles, while also providing players with numerous abilities that can be used to evade enemy missiles. This combination makes the Mk II simultaneously an agile, difficult to hit target, as well as a heavy-hitting powerhouse.
However, for those concerned about an overabundance of flying missile launchers clouding the skies, there’s one factor minimizing this risk. In order to upgrade the bike, which is how features like homing missiles are added, a player needs to already own a truck known as the Terrorbyte, which itself can only be bought by people who own a nightclub. These two prerequisite purchases addseveral million dollarsworth of required investments, preventing most people from being able to obtain a truly dangerous Mk II.
As the Mk II part of the bike’s name would suggest, there is a slightly cheaper, earlier model, simply called the Oppressor available for purchase as well. The current iteration of the bike is interestingly enough verysimilar in design to a real-life concepthoverbike built in cooperation between BMW and LEGO.
Whether that will stop a flood of Mk II’s remains to be seen. Only time will tell whether the air overthe city of Los Santoswill be filled with lethal motorcycles.
