The Oppressor MK 1 bike wasintroduced toGrant Theft Auto Onlinethrough the Gunrunning updateback in 2017. What made this incredibly expensive bike worthwhile was the added ability of momentum based flight, allowing for a different kind of criminal traversal. While many fans quickly took the chance to fly the bike across the map in style, TheFirstRaccount opted to flex in a very different way. Instead of simply flying as intended, the Redditor opted to fly the bike across the map while upside down. It is important to remember that this is the Oppressor MK 1, and not the Oppressor MK 2 which allows for flight even without momentum.
The post has achieved a Gold award on Reddit withGrand Theft Auto Onlineplayers incredibly impressed with the technique. What makes the ride all the more spectacular was TheFirstRaccount’s decision to add some extra oomph to the demonstration. Instead of opting for a safer route to move forward, the ride went under, over, and in-between many of the bridges and freeways that populate Los Santos. Thanks in part to the reticle on screen, it is clear to see TheFirstRaccount utilizing specific mouse movements to gain the momentum required for the trick.
TheFirstRaccount’s new trick comes as another from the ever dedicated and passionate player base that continue to support and playGrand Theft Auto Online. This new trick will likely spawn more attempts from others trying to be the next big hit on the active communities around the internet. WithGrand Theft Auto 5remaining a big sales hit, even years after its launch back at the tail end of the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360’s lifespans, players will be introducing some new techniques for unique play.
While the PC player base are still ready to demonstrate howGrand Theft Auto Onlinecan be manipulated, there will be an influx on new and returning players soon enough. Rockstar is currently working on the next-gen releases ofGrand Theft Auto 5for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles. With new hardware capabilities, many players are likely to swarm Los Santos once again.
