Ruiner 2000 abilities and weapons
The Ruiner 2000 is a modern take on the Ruiner with a pronounced nose, pop-up headlights and a small screen with animated red dots at the front when the engine runs. The machine guns and homing missiles sit in the lower vents of the front bumper and pop up when you drive it. It also carries two special abilities:
- Parachute: a roof hatch deploys a parachute that slows a fall, helps you land the right way up and can be used again almost immediately.
- Power hop: the car jumps about four or five meters and recharges for a few seconds. It clears traffic and barriers, but at high speed it can leave the car hard to control.
Performance improves over the standard Ruiner, with more acceleration and top speed. It uses the same single-cam V8 with a 5-speed gearbox in a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout.
How to unlock the Ruiner 2000: Arms Embargo
Special Vehicle Work missions are SecuroServ jobs for two to four players, unlocked at Rank 1 once you have completed enough Vehicle Cargo missions. Arms Embargo is the final job in the series and needs 32 vehicles. Completing it unlocks the Ruiner 2000 at a discount on Warstock Cache & Carry. To launch it:
- Open the SecuroServ computer in your office and choose Special Vehicle Work.
- Pick the mission and press Launch Mission, then confirm.
- Wait in the lobby for other players, as with other Contact Missions. Once enough have joined, the host starts the job.
The missions are not very difficult and should not take more than 15 minutes, but teamwork helps. The discounted price applies if you are a CEO with an Office and a Vehicle Warehouse. Bought special vehicles are stored in the Underground Garage, and a new one is delivered each time one is destroyed.
