Tips[]
- Battering Rams do not attack the firewall of any node, so be sure to bring other offensive programs.
- Battering Rams can attack shields provided by the Guardian node.
- Watch for nodes protected by Guardians and/or multiple Code Gates connected to the same node - a single Battering Ram here will attack multiple targets, saving you time and resources.
- In cases where the Ram is being used to take down a Code Gate with no Guardian shields present, it is advised to delete the Ram as it cannot do anything anymore.
Trivia[]
Battering Rams are most likely named after historical siege engines that were used to destroy city walls and gates in ancient times.
