Template:Infobox vehicle The Oppressor is a vehicle in Saints Row, Saints Row 2, Saints Row: The Third[1] and Saints Row IV.
Description
The Oppressor is a 4 seat personnel transport helicopter. The seats in the back are accessible by sliding doors that easily can be left open while in the air to allow shooting, filming or a descent by rope.
Saints Row
The Oppressor appears as a non-obtainable vehicle in Saints Row. It is referred to as Police Chopper in-game.
When the pilot is killed, the helicopter bursts into flames and explodes. This is to prevent any attempts to hijack the helicopter, because the game is not programmed for it to be entered and flown.
The Police Chopper appear at level 4 Notoriety, and a 4-man SWAT Team on board use AR-40 Xtnds. At some points it flies lower and drop off the SWAT Team that is on board.
A "First Born Loans" branded Police Chopper is used by the Loan Sharks if the money is not repaid. It is the last vehicle they use, and features an unknown pilot , with Mike and Dan in the back armed with AR-40 Xtnds.

Saints Row 2
The Oppressor reappears in this game as a fully functional vehicle, which can be used normally like other aircraft. The Oppressor probably has the easiest control for its remarkable speed and is one of the most common aircraft in the game.
In addition to the six variants of the standard Oppressor, there are also two other vehicles based on it
- Oppressor ULTOR, used by Ultor in Corporate Warfare. Front door-less design and Ultor logos.
- Side Shooter, used in missions where The Protagonist is using a mounted gun in the back of an Oppressor and an extended rear deck, but with a shorter slide doors.
Police
Police branded Oppressors can be found parked at the airport by the terminal and rarely on the helipad of the prison island. They are also used outside of the Saint's Row District at level 3 Notoriety when using an aircraft and at level 4 Notoriety when on foot. Ultor uses Oppressors during the "Picking a Fight" mission, when The Protagonist walks into Club Koi, a police Oppressor full of Masako is seen hanging in the air.
Reward
An Oppressor with Saints colors and logos is unlocked in the garage as a reward for completing all helicopter races.
Tan and Black
Carlos flies a generic Oppressor during the mission "Waste Not Want Not", and it is possible to steal using a second helicopter.
After reaching the helipad, Carlos does a fly-by saying "it's too hot". He spawns behind the eastern tower and de-spawns behind the western one.
After he flies away, he may become frozen near the cooling tower. Pausing and un-pausing during his run seems to increase the chances of him freezing in place. When he freezes, fly over him and use the Parachute to land on top of his helicopter.
Once in it, cancel the mission and fly the helicopter to his garage. If playing Co-op, the Host must be flying the helicopter, or it vanishes.
The internal name of this variant is SS03, even though it appears in a Brotherhood mission.
News
The Channel 6 News helicopter is unlocked by completing the Sons of Samedi mission, "Airborne Assault".
This helicopter is also provided at Wardill Airport, during the mission "The Enemy of my Enemy".
Brotherhood
During the mission "The Enemy of my Enemy", the Brotherhood arrive at the ship in red painted Oppressors. When they fly low to drop off gang members, it is possible to enter it. One is present on the deck of the ship after the completion of the mission.
Samedi
The Sons of Samedi pilot this in the "Bavogian Plaza Drug Labs" Stronghold, it is green and does not have any Samedi decals.
Immediately after starting the Stronghold, the Samedi Oppressor is parked on the roof, but cannot be stolen until the mission is aborted.
The internal name of this variant is SS07.

Saints Row: The Third
The new version of the Oppressor is slower, however it is much more maneuverable and does not fall so drastically when flying forward. The turning is much faster and easier to control, and the helicopter all together looks, and is, more durable. The vehicle is still able to seat four people at once, however the doors on the side are closed until someone gets in. Like many helicopters in Saints Row: The Third, the new Oppressor rises and falls much, much slower, similar to the Vulture and Tornado.
There are 7 variants of the Oppressor in Saints Row: The Third, 5 variants of the Side Shooter and 1 DLC Oppressor.
Although there are 2 Doors and Seats options, all Oppressors use Door 2 and Seat 2, meaning that the only difference between most variants is the Colour Scheme.
