This is probably what has made many players excited about the nerf, as the homing missile was constantly spammed by griefers when they would ride this vehicle. But now with this update, the homing missiles have become more manageable to fight with. Another nerf which is mentioned in the Rockstar Games' official newswire article is the lowering of the Oppressor Mk II's countermeasures' effectiveness. These refer to the chaff, flare, and smoke features that players can use to escape incoming attacks.

Exploring Oppressor Mk II s nerf with tests in GTA Online

YouTuber Hummer Guy has released a great video where he tested all of the important nerfs that have been given to the Oppressor Mk II to check if they are effective during a session. And watching the video, it is surprising to see that the nerf on Oppressor Mk II is working for the most part. The video opens with Hummer Guy checking the tracking on the homing missiles while he uses different attack such as the RF1 Akula to test its tracking. He was able to clearly dodge almost all of the missiles coming from Oppressor Mk II, which would have been really difficult before this update. Now, even if it locks on to a target, players can easily maneuver and escape its trajectory if they are paying attention. Additionally, he examined the rocket's speed, which has remained unchanged. Finally, regarding the countermeasures, the cool-down period has significantly increased so that players cannot constantly spam those to get themselves out of a dangerous situation. Prior to this update, the timing for the cooldown was only 9-10 seconds. But with this update, it has been increased upto 20 seconds.

Conclusion

In the end, Rockstar Games has provided GTA Online players with what they were promised, and the has been successfully nerfed. Players can now easily dodge the homing missile's trajectory without any problem. This clearly means that the vehicle's tracking system is going to be really difficult from now on. The speed of the rockets has not been reduced, which means that players still need to have some skill in defending themselves from an Oppressor Mk II's attack. All in all, this nerf seems very useful. For comprehensive guides and walkthroughs, check out Poll : 0 votes Quick Links More from Sportskeeda Thank You!
