Updated:

25 Jan 2024

What can Explosives do?

In GTA Online, Explosives are the quickest and most effective method of destruction players have in all PvP and enemy npc scenarios. The reason explosives are so effective and popular among the player base is due to the damage they create to personal vehicles, and special work cargo (business delivery vehicles/products). With such a huge arsenal available to players, Rockstar Games has continued to introduce new explosive proof cars that will help to mitigate vehicle explosions.

Why are Explosive Proof Cars important?

Explosive proof cars or Explosive-resistant cars in GTA V Online provide some of the best protection available and oftentimes at a cheaper cost than other vehicles. With reinforced enhancements, all occupants will be well protected allowing for a safer travel experience in and around Los Santos and Blaine County.

See the Oppressor MKII in action:

What is the Oppressor MK II

The Oppressor MKII is the only hoverbike in GTA Online equipped with the best homing missiles in the game making it the best offensive vehicle players can own, this notorious hoverbike was introduced with the After Hours update and would forever change GTA V Online.

What we love about the M.O.C

The Oppressor MKII is known for its agility in the air, top speed and its spectacular ability in the countermeasure department against incoming homing missiles. When done right it is possible to redirect all potential homing missiles. While the Oppressor MK2 provides such exceptional feats, it has been a controversial vehicle due to its overpowered combat capabilities, Rockstar Games tried mitigating this by increasing the price tag from $3.8 million to a shocking $8 million (this is the same price as the most expensive Yacht).

Oppressor MKII Stats

When countermeasures are installed (flare or chaff), the MKII can prevent all homing missiles from hitting their target (Best in the Game).
Top speed of 130 mph on land or in air. In the air players should hold R1 (PS4/5) to pull in the flaps to reach the top speed.
Maneuverability is so good; players can simply go in circles without using any countermeasures to prevent homing missiles from hitting.

How to get the Oppressor MKII

The Oppressor MKII can be bought on Warstock Cache and Carry’s website for a new base cost of $8,000,000.
