Unlocking the Oppressor Mk II Trade Price: A Comprehensive Guide
The Oppressor Mk II, a flying motorcycle with missiles and machine guns, is a game-changer in GTA Online. However, its hefty price tag can be daunting. Thankfully, you can unlock a significant trade price, making it more affordable. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the requirements:
To unlock the trade price for the Oppressor Mk II, you need to:
- Purchase a Terrorbyte.
- Complete five Client Jobs launched from the Terrorbyte.
It’s that simple! Let’s delve into each of these requirements to ensure you fully understand the process.
Prerequisite 1: Owning the Terrorbyte
The Terrorbyte is a specialized command unit vehicle that serves as a mobile operations hub. Think of it as a high-tech command center on wheels. You can purchase the Terrorbyte from the Warstock Cache & Carry website within the game. Be prepared to spend a significant amount of in-game currency, as it’s a substantial investment.
Why is the Terrorbyte Necessary?
The Terrorbyte is crucial because it is the only way to access and launch the Client Jobs that are required to unlock the Oppressor Mk II‘s trade price. It also offers other benefits, such as allowing you to manage your various businesses more efficiently and start missions without traveling back to your business locations. This saves significant time and, therefore, translates into increased earnings.
Key Features of the Terrorbyte
- Client Job Access: The primary reason for this guide!
- Business Management: Manage all your businesses in one place.
- Drone Station: Deploy a surveillance drone for reconnaissance and disruption.
- Multi-Lock Missile Battery: A powerful defensive option (requires upgrades).
Prerequisite 2: Completing Five Client Jobs
Once you own the Terrorbyte, you can access Client Jobs through the touchscreen interface inside the vehicle. These missions are offered by Paige Harris, a familiar character from previous GTA Online updates.
Understanding Client Jobs
There are six Client Jobs in total, but only four can be completed solo. The good news is that you don’t need to do five different jobs. You can repeat the same job five times if you prefer, making the process more efficient. The key is to complete any five Client Jobs.
Solo vs. Multi-Player Client Jobs
The four Client Jobs that can be completed solo are:
- Robbery in Progress: Steal valuables from a bank vault.
- Data Sweep: Hack servers and retrieve sensitive information.
- Targeted Data: Eliminate specific targets and retrieve data.
- Diamond Shopping: Acquire valuable diamonds from a heavily guarded store.
The two Client Jobs that require multiple players are:
- Client Job: Targeted Data – Eliminate a group of targets that are on the move. This is harder to perform solo because you have to eliminate multiple targets.
- Client Job: Bank Robbery – Rob a bank. The need for multiple people is due to different tasks being performed at the same time.
Tips for Completing Client Jobs Efficiently
- Choose Easy Jobs: Focus on the Client Jobs that you find easiest and fastest to complete. This will streamline the process.
- Use the Oppressor Mk II (After Purchase!): Once you’ve unlocked the Oppressor Mk II (even at full price), use it to quickly traverse the map and complete objectives.
- Upgrade the Terrorbyte: Consider upgrading the Terrorbyte with the Drone Station or Multi-Lock Missile Battery to improve your mission capabilities.
- Invite Friends: If you’re struggling with a particular job, invite friends to help. Teamwork can make the process much faster and easier.
- Be Strategic: Use the Drone Station to scope out the objectives before charging in blind. Being strategic in how you are going to approach each task will result in less deaths and time wasted.
Purchasing the Oppressor Mk II at the Trade Price
After completing five Client Jobs, the trade price for the Oppressor Mk II will be unlocked. You can then purchase it from the Warstock Cache & Carry website at a significantly reduced price.
Customization and Modification
It’s important to note that while you can store the Oppressor Mk II in a regular garage, you need the Terrorbyte to customize and modify it. This includes adding weapons, armor, and other performance enhancements.
The Price Hike: Why the Oppressor Mk II is So Expensive
Recently, Rockstar Games increased the price of the Oppressor Mk II to reflect its perceived value and impact on the game. The original price was around $3.8 million, but it has now been raised to a staggering $8 million for some players. The trade price makes it much more manageable, which is why unlocking it is so important.
Considerations Before Purchasing
The Oppressor Mk II is a powerful tool, but it has also been nerfed in recent updates. It now has a cooldown period after being destroyed or returned to storage, limiting its availability. Consider whether its benefits outweigh these drawbacks based on your playstyle and needs.
