The most overpowered weapons in GTA Online and how to counter them

GTA Online is a warzone. You spawn in, minding your own business, and BOOM—some sweaty tryhard nukes you from a mile away. If you've ever been one-tapped from across the map or obliterated by a flying psychopath, you know the pain.

But don’t rage-quit yet—we’re breaking down the most overpowered weapons in GTA Online and, more importantly, how to counter them like a boss.


1. The Mk II Heavy SniperThis beast doesn’t play fair. Explosive rounds? Check. Instant headshots? Check. Long-range destruction? Double check. The Mk II Heavy Sniper is the weapon of choice for rooftop campers and griefers who think they’re in FaZe Clan.

How to Counter:

• Use BST (Bull Shark Testosterone) – Boosts your health so you don’t get one-tapped.
• Spam E-Wo (Easy Way Out) – If you know you’re dead, you might as well dip before they get the kill.
• Use cover + thermal vision – Snipers love hiding. Spot them before they spot you.

2. The Oppressor Mk IIThis flying death machine comes armed with homing missiles that lock onto anything and everything. It’s the #1 choice for griefers who just want to ruin your day.

How to Counter:

• Use a homing launcher – It’s not perfect, but it can force them to play defensive.
• Call an Anti-Aircraft Trailer – Park it and watch them regret their life choices.
• Go Ghost Mode (CEO/MC abilities) – If they can’t see you, they can’t lock on.

3. The Combat MG Mk IIShreds through enemies, vehicles, and your will to play. Huge mag, insane fire rate, and pure destruction. A must-have, but also a nightmare to face.

How to Counter:

• Keep your distance – This beast is deadly up close.
• Use explosives – Sticky bombs, RPGs, whatever makes them go boom.
• Headshots – Armor won’t save them from a clean one-tap.

4. The RPGRPG users don’t fight fair—they just blow everything up. Cars, bikes, your hopes and dreams—nothing is safe.

How to Counter:

• Drive Fast, Zig-Zag – Make it harder for them to aim.
• Stay Indoors – RPGs are useless if they can’t hit you.
• Snipe Them First – Before they get the chance to fire.

5. The Unholy HellbringerBasically a laser-powered Assault Rifle with zero reloads. It shreds through players like butter.

How to Counter:

• Use Armor – It eats health fast, so stack up on heavy armor.
• Bait and Switch – Force them into reload mode (yes, even infinite ammo guns have downtime).
• Shotguns Up Close – If they can’t react fast enough, they’re toast.

GTA Online is brutal, but knowing how to counter these OP weapons can turn the tables. Stay sharp, keep moving, and don’t let griefers ruin your fun. Now go out there and show them who's the boss.
