GTA Online player discovers Oppressor MK2’s secret ability

David Purcell

The Oppressor MK2 is right up there with the most popular vehicles in GTA Online, but one player has discovered a secret ability that not a lot of people will know about. 

Flying around on a bike isn’t possible in every video game, but GTA 5’s Pegassi manufactured something smoking hot with the MK2. Costing a whopping $3,890,250 in-game, from Warstock Cache & Carry, the Oppressor allows players to zoom around as they please near the road or high in the sky.

In terms of its known abilities, the hover bike works much like a hovercraft over water, has a huge rocket boost that can take it up to 135mph, includes machine guns and also rocket launchers – which can easily dispose of unarmored vehicles at will.

However, Reddit user BungMcSkrungkins has found a strange trait that can only really be pulled off in very specific circumstances – and it’s actually quite funny.

When you think about the MK2, you think about seeing them zooming around overhead in Los Santos, perhaps even wreaking havoc with its weapons, but apparently you can also use it to hang underneath bridges like a bat.

One thing is for sure, based on the clip below, suspecting players would never see you coming.

Striking when opponents least expect it is very effective in GTA Online and this tactic, if pulled off correctly, allows you to see not just what’s coming below, but also see through the road on the bridge too. Also, whether or not this will be patched out in a future update remains to be seen.

One thing that can happen is that the player when attempting the trick can actually be thrown off the bike. To avoid this, the Reddit user suggests a quick trick of snapping into the iFruit menu to avoid damage. After exiting the phone, you can see that they are left hanging.

What’s unclear about this whole thing, though, is how long you’re actually stuck upside down. It could be an amazing way of escaping a chase, but it might be totally ineffective if you’re stuck here forever…
