Trivia[]

- You can prevent violator beacons from activating if you can go prone on them (or drive a vehicle over it) after they are thrown.
- Like all strogg Classes, Pressing - or + will transfer stroyent (ammo).
- Interestingly, Oppressor bots will deploy artillery but never use it.
- The Oppressor's wings resemble the Strogg insignia.
- One Strogg & Peeker's skins in Quake Champions is named after the Oppressor.
- According to QC lore and ETQW concept art, the Oppressor's wings are not just a decorative element, but an antenna for communication.
