It really doesn't need a nerf. Yeah it can take down a stone wall in 10 hits but you need to build it. You also need HQM to repair it. Also if you're a solo nothing you can do to stop someone just grabbing a low grade fuel from it.

Barricades stop it in it's tracks.

Basically upgrade your base to metal and you're fine. Have a compound with barricades and you're fine.

oh wao sounds good, now tell me , when someone has build a raid base and put turrenst up and then starts to use the ram to destroy all my stone high walls, what now ????

cant get close the turrets star shooting, or the raidert simply backs closer to its turrenst andt hen comes out , icant get close ... can't shoot from far because for some reason when you drive this machine then you are bulletproof. It drives over multiple land mines that i put down the driver is still alive

so explain to me now how to stop it , because i had to watch how that one machine destroyed many of my stone high walls and sadly there are no metal high walls .

Yes it needs a nerf there is no reason for the driver inside to be completely safe from bullets or land mine explosions.

agreed with the driver being invulnerable. Makes no sense, what kind of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bullet proof window is that

Metal... wait for it.. barricades... Like I said before they stop the battering ram in it's tracks

Metal... wait for it.. barricades... Like I said before they stop the battering ram in it's tracks

or ... wait for it... nerf the ram

But now your big idea is to put metal barricade around already existing stone high walls ???

So let's do everything else but not nerf this clearly OP item

it also can drive over many land mines and nothing happens to the driver inside.

If someone is raiding with a raid base, they are going to blow up your wall with or without a ram.

The land mines in the game are AP, not AT. It seems they should add a AT land mine and that would fix most of the problems. AP mines can't be triggered by a person unless they are shot at and only would blow up when a vehicle rolls over them such as a Horse, Car, Ram ETC

ok but the ram is not a tank . thats the whole point. If RUST wants to make TANKS into the game then let them makea real tank ... not this frankenstein.

Also your point about how someone will blow up the high walls any way if they build a raid base.
Ok fine LET THEM use ROCKETS for it or other explosives, the whole problem is that the RAM can clear the stone high walls with little cost for the raider and they also are completely safe in it .
This is simply absurd .

The only way to damage the player in it is when you shoot rockets at it , but this is even more absurd , that you have to use tier 3 items to stop a tier 2 item.


I also threw grenades at it i don't know if it damaged the raider but the 7 i had did not kill the raider inside it . ( dont know if every explosion hit close to the cabin but yeah this item is simply absurd right now in the game )

[FOTW! ⁧⁧Bunkeris]

Shooting fire arrows at the drivers cabin does AOE damage to the driver, at least from what I gathered.
But yeah, using it myself I found it super OP as its kinda easy to just get a ton of HQM, raiding with a group has never been easier due to how it doesn't attract every grub in a 10 grid radius
