Ranger in the Ruins pinball rules and strategy

The Strategy

Ranger in the Ruins is an item-collection game. Hit one of the four standup targets or the captive ball to raise a random wall scoop, then shoot that scoop to collect its item. If an item starts Multiball, keep shooting the displayed values because Multiball does not add Jackpots.

The goal

Collect items through a standup target or the captive ball and the raised wall scoop. Every shot displays its point value; Multiball keeps those values and has no Jackpots.

  1. How to collect an item

    Hit any one of the four standup targets or the captive ball. One wall scoop rises at random; shoot that scoop to collect the offered item.

  2. How scoring is shown

    Read the point value displayed at each shot. Making that shot scores the displayed value.

  3. How Multiball works

    Some items lock balls or start an instant Multiball. During Multiball, continue shooting the displayed values; there are no Jackpots or Super Jackpots.
