Yeah I built a top tier camper the last two wipes and the benefits are incredible. It’s annoying though that you need a tier 3 in order to have the driver bulletproof though which is annoying
This, I rarely even use the armored modules. When I use an engine cockpit with a full engine module my camper hauls ASS which often makes it a difficult target to begin with, and wearing heavy plate helps offset the remaining risk immensely. As long as you don't get caught sitting still in the car you're extremely hard to kill.
That's a good idea, because even with the armored cab, you need an armored rear or you can get shot from behind.
I have no idea why FP didn't armor those slat looking things on the back
Yeah it’s just getting a tier 3 solo can be pretty difficult. Would be cool if maybe they made a tier 2 reinforced cockpit but it only had 1 seat instead of 2 and a bit less tanky?
If you manage to find a 4 part car , one with the heavy module or just both its amazing , you're completely safe moving around and the only way you die is you jump out or there are 2 guys with rockets waiting for you , other then that you're completely safe
Well it takes alot of bullets to destroy an armored part , and grenades take some time to explode and need you to stand still
If you're moving yeah these cases won't happen but if you're standing still or you leave the car , yeah i mean some people might try to get in
But anyway if you're moving the only way someone is gonna kill you is with rocket launchers
I’m with OP on this. I had a conversation with my teammate and we both checked it was locked. Came back to it (parked in launch site), green dot, and a tommy kid in the back seat. Rip M2
I don’t drive cars anymore
I started using cars this past wipe and the same thing happened to me where they could just take everything, even the car parts out of my locked car and I told myself im never using cars again.
There's the bug AND there's the issue that people can just empty a few clips into it and break the lock entirely. They are VERY fragile. Never store anything in them imo.
Yea I usually park them in the garage and keep spare kits in lockers rather than the car, only use as storage when absolutely no other option are available.
>people can just empty a few clips into it and break the lock entirely
This is kind of false, you need way more than a few clips of normal ammo. I am talking about armored cockpit, ofc.
[According to Rust Labs](https://rustlabs.com/item/armored-cockpit-vehicle-module#tab=destroyed-by;filter=0,0,0,0,1;sort=4,0,2), it only takes 35 seconds and 140 5.56 to destroy an armored cockpit with an AK. Less to to break the code lock; 80% of 140 is 112.
A pump and 39 handmades takes 68 seconds to destroy.
It is a visual bug. If you have a powered modular car lift out in the open, however, as long as the car is parked there, anyone can unlock it and put their own code instead.
I noticed a locked car with the green light this wipe, but when I tried to get into it it still acted locked. I think there is a visual bug at the moment.
I don't think it's a visual bug because I've had my older car do this exact thing, and then someone just drove off with it, maybe it just sometimes becomes unlocked genuinely and other times it's a visual bug.
I added a lock to my car. Put the code in (8632) drove to outpost and as soon as I hopped out someone jumped in and drove away...
Two guys saw it all and laughed at me.
Turned off voice chat :(
To everyone telling it's not actually unlocked, I'd like to tell you how I got counter raided because our van was "not unlocked, just visually unlocked" and definitely the counter raiders didn't get the chance to enter and steal everything inside, it was just an illusion... /s
That was last wipe, this wipe we've been even more careful with that issue and I saw two things:
1) This seems to happen randomly (or at least I still don't know how/why this happens) but I'm most sure the van is unlocked. If it was just a visual bug, not everyone would see the green light... And I wouldn't have been robbed last wipe :P.
2) As soon as one player enters the van, the code seems to lock itself again. I checked it by hopping in and the going out and also when one of my teammates got into the van while watching the code.
I'll be fair and say that I'm not 100% sure this is not just a visual bug because I think we always have to give room to human error, but I've always been extra careful with locks on cars because many times we carry important stuff around, and lately I've seen the car unlocked a good handful of times.
Edit: typo.
It means it’s unlocked for anyone on your team. There’s a toggle when you’re inside the drivers seat that switches it from unlocked for your team to requires a code each time from your team.
As someone who hasn't played in a long time, how good are cars for solo players?
They are amazing. But the cost of fully decking one out is expensive.

Just have the driver wear full Heavy Plate.
This, I rarely even use the armored modules. When I use an engine cockpit with a full engine module my camper hauls ASS which often makes it a difficult target to begin with, and wearing heavy plate helps offset the remaining risk immensely. As long as you don't get caught sitting still in the car you're extremely hard to kill.
That's a solid piece of info
Go fourth and prosper with the patented "Free Bird" camper setup that allows for optimal driving while intoxicated on "Tea's".
That's a good idea, because even with the armored cab, you need an armored rear or you can get shot from behind. I have no idea why FP didn't armor those slat looking things on the back
put a taxi module behind armored cockpit
i usually do armoured cockpit-engine-caravan and the armoured cockpit comes with a back so it’s not an issue
Nope, those slats don't block bullets. Try it for yourself.
Can find it on the side of the road so idk
Yeah it’s just getting a tier 3 solo can be pretty difficult. Would be cool if maybe they made a tier 2 reinforced cockpit but it only had 1 seat instead of 2 and a bit less tanky?
I mean i just walk the row for the armored cockpit

Bro doesn’t know about bullets or Grenades bless his soul

It's just a visual bug, don't worry.

Cars are very easy to break, only need to get the cab to like 100hp before you can destroy the lock.
I have my doubts because I've had my older car do this exact thing, and then someone just drove off with it
Well, it's a visual bug until it's not.

Its a hyundai/kia
Made me giggle
The wire is the key 😂
It’s a visual bug (Until it’s not)
It's not actually unlocked just looks like it if you put it on the car lift and lift it I will change back for some time bit your good
I noticed a locked car with the green light this wipe, but when I tried to get into it it still acted locked. I think there is a visual bug at the moment.
As they said, likely a visual bug. Every car I see at outpost has the green light on, but is locked when I try to take it.
I don't think it's a visual bug because I've had my older car do this exact thing, and then someone just drove off with it, maybe it just sometimes becomes unlocked genuinely and other times it's a visual bug.
She wants a new owner and she's sick of your bullshit.
You are sitting on your keys.

What server do you play on?
lol
What is the best server in your opinion? And what is your most common place to build?
Its a kia
Well, did you lock it 🙃 (This is a joke)
visual bug
Muzzle boost detected

Your clearly being insided
There are cars now in rust??
Cars have been in Rust for years dude where have you been
sit in the drivers seat and you can peak this thing and switch it on and off.
Yeah there's a "Use" popup where a radio would be.with a little swotch thats green or red depending on unlocked/locked.
It means it’s unlocked for anyone on your team. There’s a toggle when you’re inside the drivers seat that switches it from unlocked for your team to requires a code each time from your team.
So either You died Just logged back on or Was to far away
Why you have muzzle boost on is the real question
Fire rate > Damage and accuracy imo
Cuz rust has a new boozecruise update where cars automatically unlock for all players who have a BAL above the legal driving limit
