Here Come the Monsters (Arena War)

Overview

Here Come the Monsters is an Arena War Adversary Mode for 2 to 16 players in two teams, added with the Arena War update in December 2018. It takes place in the Maze Bank Arena, La Puerta, and unlocks at Rank 1. The Contenders drive nimble Issi compacts and the Gladiators drive Sasquatch monster trucks.

How it works

• Contenders start in Apocalypse, Future Shock or Nightmare Issis, depending on the map, and can also bring their own Arena Issi. They get one life and must survive until the timer runs out.
• Gladiators drive the matching Sasquatch variant or a custom one. They have unlimited lives and must destroy every Contender before time is up.
• Each time a Gladiator is destroyed, 30 seconds come off the clock, so the Contenders can shorten the round by fighting back.
• The arena traps stay active for both teams.
• There are three maps: Apocalypse (I), Future Shock (II) and Nightmare (III). All are open layouts with the pit lane closed and fences up.

Tips

• As a Contender, keep moving and use the Issi's tight turning to slip past the trucks. Only attack a Gladiator if you have a weaponized custom Issi.
• As a Gladiator, work with your teammates to corner Contenders instead of chasing one alone.
• Gladiators should back off from traps when health drops below half, because every death helps the Contenders.

Rewards and unlocks

• GTA$, RP and Arena War career points.
• Unlocked at Rank 1.
