The Ultimate MK2 Loadout Guide for GTA Online

Whether you’re a seasoned GTA player or just starting out, selecting the right MK2 weaponized vehicle loadout can make all the difference in missions and PvP encounters. With its powerful missiles and agility, the Oppressor MK2 is a dominant force in the skies of Los Santos. But you’ll need the proper arsenal to maximize its potential.

Choosing Your Primary Weapon

The MK2’s main weapon is crucial, so choose wisely. Missiles are obviously a great option, allowing you to rain explosive destruction from above. I’ve definitely caught other players off guard with a few well-placed missiles! However, some swear by other weapons like the combat MG or even homing launcher for its lock-on abilities. It really depends on your playstyle – do you prefer ranged combat or getting up close?

From my experience experimenting with various loadouts, the homing missile remains the most versatile primary. Its lock-on function means you rarely miss, and you can streak across the map taking out targets with ease. However, if you enjoy aggressive dogfighting, the combat MG shines at close quarters. Why not try different primaries and see which feels best?

Choosing Your Secondary Weapon

Your secondary is important for backups and alternatives when the primary reloads. The unholy hellbringer or pump shotgun offer brutal damage at close range. But you may want something with more range like the pistol or smg. One trick is to go with a weapon complementary to your primary – pair missiles with combat MG for all-weather fighting, or homing launcher with shotgun for close-quarters backup.

I will say that from trial and error, the smg is criminally underrated as a secondary. Its accuracy and high fire rate allow you to rain lead on pursuers from a distance, and it reloads fast to quickly switch between it and your missile launcher. It’s saved me on countless occasions. So don’t sleep on the smg!

Outfitting the Rest of Your Arsenal

With your primaries chosen, the next most crucial gear is explosives and armor. The proximity mines are godsend – dropping them on the road mid-dogfight means easy escape or instant revenge once they’re blown to bits chasing you! And of course, you’ll need armor like bulletproof helmets to withstand hits.

Some also argue for countermeasures like flares, chaff or smoke to distract missiles. This can deflect lock-ons long enough to reposition. However, I find flares leave you too exposed without dealing damage. Better to go on offense! Consider stickying up with grenades, stickies or grenade launchers instead for an all-out assault.

  1. Proximity Mines
  2. Bulletproof Helmet
  3. Grenades or Sticky Bombs
  4. Missile Launcher (Homing or Regular)
  5. SMG or Combat MG

This provides a nice balance of offense and defense. You can rain down terror from above, handle pursuers, and survive ambushes. The key is finding what works for you after some trial and error. MK2 combat is intense – stay flexible, learn from failures, and your loadout willFollow improve over time.

Real-World Application and Strategy

Now that your MK2 is fitted to destroy, it’s time to apply your loadout strategically in free roam and business battles. Zooming across the map at jet speeds allows you to rapidly respond to situations. If selling product or protecting cargo, use missiles from a safe distance to offer air support without getting bogged down.

For PvP, the MK2 excels at hit-and-run bombing. Lock on a target, unload missiles then retreat to reposition before they can lock onto you. Rinse and repeat from different angles. You become a very difficult target. The OP MK2 also dominates Business Battles, as you can easily cover large areas and engage multiple targets at once without slowing down.

Perhaps try patrolling popular business routes preemptively to catch rival players off guard too. Just beware of ground-to-air threats like homing launchers! Going off the radar or using terrain/buildings to break locks helps in tight situations. And remember – with great power comes great responsibility. Griefing low-levels ruins the fun for all.

In the end it comes down to finding a balanced loadout and playing style that suits you. But with the right gear and smart hit-and-run tactics, very few will be able to match the MK2’s raw power. Happy hunting out there in Los Santos skies and let me know if any other loadout tips would help!

FAQ

  1. What loadout is best for close quarters combat?

    A loadout with an SMG primary like the CX-9 or MPX alongside frag grenades would be best for close quarters fights. Those SMGs deal high damage at short ranges.

  2. How many slots are available for secondary weapons and equipment?

    You get two secondary weapon slots and three equipment slots to fill. So you can bring two sidearms plus three throwables or other gear like spotting scopes.

  3. Is it worth using DMRs on smaller maps?

    While DMRs can work on some tighter maps, an SMG or assault rifle is generally better suited for fast close combat. DMRs shine more on bigger maps where you’ll see enemies at medium distances.

  4. What equipment is effective for both attacking and defending?

    Scanning drones help no matter if you push objectives or hold them. Scanning enemies lets your squad prepare or track them back to their spawn. Medkits are also universally handy whether defending or attacking wounded teammates.

  5. How do I build a versatile loadout for various playstyles?

    A well-rounded rifle like an M4 paired with a sidearm, medkits, and ammo or frags allows you to play multiple roles from frontlining to supporting. Versatile is key so you aren’t caught with the wrong guns based on how a match flows.

  6. Do certain attachments work better than others on specific maps?

    Larger maps favor long range scopes and barrels while tighter spaces work better for short barrels and sights. Some pros change loadouts between maps to match the engagement distances. Testing attachments across different areas helps dial in the perfect match.

  7. Should I only use meta loadouts or experiment?

    While meta loadouts excel statistically, using off-meta options can surprise opponents and help you learn new playstyles. Experimenting is how the meta evolves and keeps things fresh. As long as a loadout suits your skills and playstyle, anything can work. Don’t be afraid to think outside the box!
