Why does the ruiner 2000 handle so bad?

The ruiner 2000 is not worth the prize just because of its handle. It sucks why is the car so overprized then?

It's a muscle car. Put your on-rails plastic supercars back in the garage, learn how to drive something with more power than grip, and come back to the thread in a few months with your apology.

 

Also, you don't seem to have noticed its jump/parachute ability, guns, and homing missiles.

Oppressors beats out the Ruiner 2000 now anyway, rather than jumping it can fly and it doesn't have bad handling. The Oppressor is far cheaper too.

Maybe the ruiner 2000 has rockets and guns, but the guns sucks and the you have only 8 rockets. You also can't say i need to learn driving. The ruiner 2000 is just too overprized just only for how it handles. The parachute/jump are cool though but thats the only thing then.

I can and I did. People who drive muscle cars regularly have no problems with the Ruiner's handling. Also, start "Fully Loaded" and you'll be able to use a Ruiner with unlimited missiles and extra armour for the 20 minute duration of the mission. It'll also spawn a new one if it gets destroyed.

It's a purposely overpriced gimmicky toy designed to suck in nostalgia whores and children

 

Is it supposed to be a Formula 1 car or something just because it's expensive

-it´s a muscle car

-it carries rockets , hydraulic device and a parachute

-probably R* wanted to balance the car a little bit so that it won´t be invincible ...

"Hurr durr it's a muscle car you have to learn it properly" Dude, it's a f*cking game! Beside the thing that makes ruiner 2k handling bad is it's intolerance with bumping. Bump a bit and the 2k flies in the air. And I don't want my 4,3 mil car to fly around everytime it bumps a car.

It's a mid 80's trans am. That's exactly how they handled.

"Might as well switch to SPM!"

That's exactly what the Ruiner 2000 lacks: Super Pursuit Mode!

It lacks a spoiler but has more power and it lacks weight to.

 

Honestly i love a challenge but this one takes it a bit to far.

For being more of a stunt/movie car i honestly rather had it handle more easy offroad and actually ram cars out of the way.

Reasons why the Ruiner 2000 handles so bad:

- weird weight distribution and behavior when jumping

- can't correct direction mid-flight on mouse+keyboard without pulling out the parachute

- no spoiler that adds traction

- weird camera angles and game camera movement delays that make it more difficult to judge speed and traction

- lack of tolerance for bumps

I personally do not think it handles badly, It is in the muscle cars class and to me it feels like many of the other cars in the class that also do not benefit from a spoiler.

Whether or not it is worth the money is a different question and that is down to if you like the other features or not which personally I do.

It is on pace with the rest of the class! When tested by the Car Oracle Broughy1322 on a handling track it comes 8th out of the 40 muscle cars available if it had a spoiler option then it would be top tier.

 

 

If you do not think it is worth the money then that is fine It depends what you like doing, To be honest I do not use mine that often as you can only use it Free roam and Special races so in my position and play preferences I debate if it is worth it for me but I have had fun and it is has more value than things like a gold Jet for example.

If you named this thread Should the Ruiner 2000 have a spoiler option then you would of had much better responses.

so what tires you recommend for that most shiity handling car in the game?

 

Tyre choice makes no difference at all on this car the only muscle car that gains benefit from tyre choice is the Nightshade.

Some cars have a tyre clipping value in the files, I posted a list of these in this thread.

http://gtaforums.com/topic/904455-which-cars-benefit-from-off-road-tires-2018/page-2

On the cars I have listed there, off road wheels give the most benefit followed by Tuners.

 

To the OP, it is a muscle car and by its nature handles pretty badly practice using its brakes before the corner and not accelerating that hard until you are pointing in the right direction.

Yellow Dog with Cone

For its stupid pricetag, it should have Pisswasser Dominator-tier of performance at least.

 

Also it should carry more than 8 rockets, tank at least one explosion and being a Personal Vehicle, but sadly R* treats updates with a "done and gone" philosophy, damned be any kind of consistency.

 

At least an spoiler could be nice.

I don't know what you are talking about. It handles rly nice for me. Just learn to use it I guess?
Or wait for them to install Super Pursuit Mode



As for the price? You have to remember it was added before Oppressor and Deluxo. By now it might feel overpriced in complaisance to newer toys.

And yes, it has only 8 rockets but those are not regular rockets... They literally can do 180 turns. Theres no running from that. You can take out everything with those.

You have have unlimited rockets and extra armor if you start Fully Loaded so thats nice. Edited by Piro

I think the reason for its insanely high price is because it was the first car ''special'' car that possessed an airborne ability, add to the fact that it was the first car to have rockets (I think).

I'm pretty sure such a high price tag saved R2K from being griefers main land vehicle. If oppressor's price was 5.7mil or more I don't think it would have sold like hotcakes. sure PV version is not that OP but with FL ruiner and good practice it's possible to kill on-foot players too.

why tf did someone just revive an almost year old post?

My facebook gave me a memory video today of one of my first Hydra kills in the Ruiner, One year ago today, what a day that was.
