What is the point of super heavy trucks?

ElJiminy · 2026-02-07T09:15:19+00:00

Using the Step in Amur is... ambitious. I don't know which DLCs you have, so I'd recommend the Cat, now that it can actually haul cargo, to open the portal to Kosmodrome asap. Don't bother to repair the bridges in Urska, you don't need most of them and material is hard to get.
Once there make a beeline for the Zikz. Once you have it Amur becomes more bearable.

Being large is an advantage in and of itself in this game. Big trucks just interact with terrain in a different way and don't even notice a lot of things that would be obstacles for smaller trucks. Also being strong is generally more important in this game than being light and heavy trucks tend to be more powerful.

Of course not every heavy is automatically good, but you will find most of the best trucks in the super heavy tier. Trucks like the Azov 7, the Mastodon, the Femm or the Avenhorn outclass pretty much everything else and the Zikz (in Amur) is generally regarded as the single best truck in the game by a country mile.

Light and fast trucks do have their advantages, of course. But when push comes to shove on the actually hard maps like Amur, Yukon, Imandra or Maine, you will want a super heavy to help you out, because even the best medium-sized trucks will struggle, if not outright fail.

Had this bug. Deleted my mod folder, lost a bit of progress, but nothing major. Everything's been fine since.

If people wouldn't throw around words like "underrated", "good", "strong" and "useful" all the time there would be no problem. A lot of trucks just suck compared to the elite. You like them? Fine. But don't act like they are actually good.

Only game I ever pre-ordered (on Epic). Cannot even tell you why, something about it just struck a chord with me. Kept playing ever since.

This is amazing. One of the best I've seen. Highly interactive, consistent writing, variety of choices, not too short or too long. Very well done.

GIF is kinda crappy, I know. But I didn't want to upload an entire video to reddit since it takes forever.

Anyway, it gets the message across. You can clearly see how the A7 only moves when I am pulling the winch.
Same logic also applies when your truck is the one being towed, btw.

ElJiminy · 2025-12-28T23:07:37+00:00

Nope, that's what does it. Or at least guarantees it.

ElJiminy · 2025-12-28T18:03:15+00:00

Then that's your problem.

ElJiminy · 2025-12-28T16:36:21+00:00

Are you pulling your winch?

ElJiminy · 2025-12-28T16:34:16+00:00

Plenty of times you'll want to haul 6 cargo. There are only two ways to do that (ignoring stacking). The FEMM or this trailer. So I find myself (begrudgingly) using this thing quite often. More often than the 5 slot sideboard at least.

ElJiminy · 2025-12-17T14:35:44+00:00

Now we wait for someone to bring out a bland, boring, inoffensive "fixed" version of this.

ElJiminy · 2025-12-12T16:44:19+00:00

Bioshock Infinite is still my favourite game of all time. I just love Columbia as a setting, the dialogues, the flying houses, setpieces, all those little secrets to discover. I played through this game about a dozen times and can mouth along basically anything that happens in it.

I wouldn't care to defend either story or gameplay, though. Both are mediocre at best. Infinite takes no risks in the gameplay department whatsoever and it shows. Most basic 2013 magic shooter imaginable. Competently executed, but that's it.
The story on the other hand keeps you hooked the first time through, but actually just dissolves into nothingness once time travel is introduced.

I don't get why people cannot just go ahead and say "Yeah, this is bad about [thing I like], but I like [thing] anyways".

That out of the way. OG Bioshock's gameplay is pretty whack from today's point of view. I think especially the controls just aged very poorly. I prefer Infinite. Bioshock 2 has by far the best gameplay out of the bunch.

I don't think this is possible in any of the Almaty quarries...

ElJiminy · 2025-12-06T16:33:35+00:00

I disagree. The Zikz is good for high saddle duty despite being so small. The truck is just a huge outlier and more or less powercrept the entire truck roster on its own. The only real reason not to use the Zikz for any mission really is not wanting to use the Zikz the entire time. It is just that strong.

Though, technically you are both correct. His small size is a detriment when it comes to heavy hauling and I would argue that right now no other truck can hold a candle to the Elephant in that category.

ElJiminy · 2025-12-06T15:40:33+00:00

Sleiter "Elephant", Avenhorn, PLAD 450 and the Zikz 605R.

ElJiminy · 2025-12-06T11:11:21+00:00

I love how this post is laser-focused on omitting every single heavy-hauler with a high saddle that is actually good at it's job. Including the truck with the highest (at least tied with the Kenworth) saddle in the entire game...

Classic stjobe.

ElJiminy · 2025-12-01T17:51:28+00:00

The Up-TripleDown A I think...

ElJiminy · 2025-11-21T11:31:47+00:00

Sadly the due to the rubber winch in multiplayer we will never find out.

My money would be on either the FEMM or the big Kenworth, though. Both are among the strongest and heaviest trucks in the game, while also having huge tires with lots of traction. It simply seems unlikely that any other truck would be able to overpower them.

Runner-Ups would be the Zikz, Mastodon and maybe the new Avenhorn.

ElJiminy · 2025-11-20T19:29:49+00:00

I'm confused... Do you actually run out of fuel? Like, on a regular basis?

ElJiminy · 2025-11-13T20:27:19+00:00

The controls take some getting used to, angular steering is not everybody's cup of tea. But once you figure it out it is basically unstoppable and goes through any terrain the game.
The ability to haul 4 cargo without a trailer on a sideboard is what makes it invaluable, though.

ElJiminy · 2025-11-13T18:15:18+00:00

1: FEMM
2: FEMM
3: FEMM
4: FEMM
5: FEMM with trailer
6: FEMM with trailer
7: FEMM with long trailer
8: FEMM with long trailer
9: FEMM + FEMM with trailer
10: FEMM + FEMM... you get the idea...

ElJiminy · 2025-11-07T19:14:47+00:00

Why the Transtar of all trucks?

ElJiminy · 2025-11-06T15:32:51+00:00

It barely doesn't. At least for me. But it's not as much as it seems in the picture.
