The After-Hours Update in GTA 5 Online brings new vehicles in the coming weeks. One of them sounds so overpowered that players are questioning Rockstar.
Players complain after leak: The complete content of the After-Hours DLC has not yet been released for all players. This happens gradually. Data miners have taken a closer look at what the community can expect. And many are upset about the results. A flying motorcycle with a rocket defense system is said to be on its way.
Futuristic Motorcycle as a Destroyer of Online Sessions
With missiles: The Oppressor Mk. II is a state-of-the-art flying motorcycle equipped with missiles and a defense system. Data miners from FoxySnaps have already located the vehicle in the code.
Predecessor motorcycle was already annoying: There is already a predecessor to the flying motorcycle shown above in GTA 5 Online. It had already earned a reputation for being frequently used by trolls who would chase and constantly shoot you.
New motorcycle even worse? The Oppressor Mk. II is said to be (on the ground) even faster. Additionally, the vehicle is equipped with better missiles and explosive machine guns than the predecessor. The rocket defense system on board the vehicle makes it even stronger.
Concern for online sessions: You earn your money in GTA 5 Online through arms dealing, drug trafficking, or other lucrative illegal activities. However, you must play in online mode. Where other players can attack you. With the new Oppressor Mk. II, players fear that online sessions will become even more annoying.
The community is worried: The features of the Oppressor Mk II sound like all the fun would be lost if a troll chases a player online with it. The reactions are clear – players are wondering why Rockstar would even add such a vehicle.
On Reddit, user ChefDJH writes: “Winner of the Griefer Choice Awards 2018”. User Fr0gg0 writes: “Are you kidding? That means forever solo sessions”.
There are also many discussions on Twitter about this topic:
Rockstar confirms Oppressor Mk II
On Twitter, Rockstar has now confirmed that the Oppressor Mk. II will indeed find its way into GTA 5 Online. Reactions to the announcement are mixed.
Some don’t want flying vehicles: One Twitter user clearly speaks out against flying cars and motorcycles. He wants a GTA with biker and nightclub vibes, not Star Wars.
Others think it’s good: Other players are receiving the Oppressor better. They are looking forward to it:
Awaiting release – Maybe not so overpowered
No date known: Now everyone is eagerly waiting for when the Oppressor Mk. 2 finds its way into the online sessions of GTA 5. Perhaps the bike only seemed “overpowered” at first glance and will show itself balanced in the game.
Whether the harsh criticism from some community members is justified remains to be seen.
Until then, you can literally dig up the hatchet in GTA 5 Online. That’s a special weapon that unlocks in GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2.
