Today we talk about GTA online and some of the best arena war vehicles In top 10 fashion. Before we get into that let me tell you why muscle cars are important. 

In the middle of the 1960s, young drivers started to favor muscle cars. They were not only sleek, beautiful, and powerful, but also reasonably priced, and they could be used for both official and unofficial drag racing in addition to regular street driving. For those reasons you can see why they're popular in the game as well.

#10. Future Shock Bruiser 

See the Future Shock Bruiser in action: 

The future shock is unique the most for this reason. It's a 6 wheel beast! Unlike the other vehicles which are bigger trucks or tracked vehicles this an extra set of wheels to get it done.

The Future Shock Bruiser is good for arenas for this reason, It was designed to be an off-road vehicle. The downside is it lacks AWD. (This makes it challenging to drive on rocky terrain or climb hills). However, you can add jump mods to the vehicle to launch it into the air to get around difficult terrain. 

My advice to any player using this would be to equip it with .50 cals and max out the armor is possible. This is to do the most damage with this vehicle and still have protection.

What Makes The Future Shock Bruiser Great : 

• Weaponry. The vehicle can be equipped with a ram causing damage to any car that gets lifted in the air. It can also have a dual .50 cal or laser. 

• Armor. The bruiser is exceptionally well in this category being able to survive multiple rocket blasts with upgrades. Furthermore the armor allows it to move any vehicle except the phantom out of the way with no issue.

• Speed. For being on the heavy set as far as vehicles go the bruiser can clock 100mph before redlining. 

 Future Shock Bruiser Stats : 

• Speed - 69.75
• Acceleration - 65.00
• Braking - 16.67
• Handling - 53.03
• Overall - 51 

How To Get The Future Shock Bruiser : 

You first need to buy the Benefactor Glendale basic model for $200,000. After that for an additional $1,609,000, you can convert the vehicle to its special form. (Located in the Arena Workshop)

#9. Apocalypse Deathbike

See the Apocalypse Deathbike In action : 

The Deathbike does what the name implies. Its high speed and style makes this perfect for narrow spaces during combat.

The Deathbike is good for the arena because it's similar to the Gargoyle in terms of handling, and maybe the highest top speed of all land vehicles at a recorded 150 mph. Another reason is that it can be modified to have two gatling guns on the sides. While it's not particularly powerful against armored vehicles, it can still be deadly against enemies on the ground and unarmored vehicles. 

My advice for anyone who wants to use this would be to use its maneuverability to go into narrow areas and get the jump(no pun intended) on your enemies in battle.

What Makes The Apocalypse Deathbike Great : 

• Maneuverability. The motorcycle allows you to make tight turns and get away in the knick of time. What's also good about its maneuverability is you become harder to hit, letting you survive longer.
• Armor. This motorcycle can withstand one bomb without being destroyed. In addition you can mount a riot shield on the front and block any bullets coming your way.
• Off road. You can equip or have off road tires placed on your motorcycle to give you an edge on rough terrain. 

Apocalypse Deathbike Stats : 

• Speed - 78.87
• Acceleration - 78.13
• Braking - 36.67
• Handling - 62.12
• Overall - 63.95 

How To Get The Apocalypse Deathbike :

#8. Future Shock ZR380

See the Future Shock ZR380 in action :

The future Shock is a must have for any player who can afford it. The uniqueness about this is the plated windows that come attached without having to upgrade. 

What makes this car great in arenas is the reinforced chassis. Due to this, the car has strong crash resistance but just medium ramming ability. Another reason is because the car is already modified with window plates on the front. (This makes it good choice for hits & runs)

My advice to anyone who wants to get this car would be to choose this first. The ref\inforced chassis is a no-brainer when going into the arena. Use this along with upgrading it fully and you can win most matches.(you still need driving skill of course)

What Makes The Future Shock ZR380 Great : 

• Armor. Due to this, the car has strong crash resistance but just medium ramming ability.
• Reliability. What I mean by this is that the car even in its original state comes with plated windows, meaning you have protection against bullets that hit it. 
• It's a sports car. The top speed is 140.50 mph so this makes it useful in the arena when moving around it. Though braking and turning is not the best. 

 Future Shock ZR380 Stats : 

• Speed - 84.78
• Acceleration - 87.50
• Braking - 26.67
• Handling - 75.76
• Overall - 68.37

How To Get The Future Shock ZR380 : 

Getting this one is different from the others. You can purchase it from the Arena War website for $2,138,640. That's it, no upgrading, just a ton of money.

#7. Nightmare Dominator

See the Nightmare Dominator in action :

The name is exactly what this is, a dominator. Its uniqueness of being a muscle car helps in the defense and reliability department. 

Because this vehicle is a muscle car it's great for ramming and taking a lot of hits. In the arena mode it's great for exactly that. It also has a push bar that gives protection at collisions and a Tombstone armor plate on the back. This can be detached from the vehicle, serving as a portable obstacle to use against pursuing vehicles. 

My advice for players who want to use this for themselves I highly recommend it. The armor plating equipped with all the mods makes this a must have for anyone jumping into the arena.

What Makes The Nightmare Dominator So Great : 

• Resale price. This is because you can sell the Nightmare Dominator at Arena Workshop for $679,200 (60% of the original purchase).
• Acceleration. Its top speed is 130 mph but its acceleration is 93.75. This makes it great because you won't have to worry about slow start ups, plus you can use this to your advantage in the arena. 
• Standard price. Because you can obtain this for $32,000 at rank 20 it can be one of the first vehicles you purchase when getting started. It cost $1,000,000 to convert but with all the ways to make money in the game it's reasonable nowadays. 

Nightmare Dominator Stats : 

• Speed - 80.48
• Acceleration - 93.75
• Braking - 26.67
• Handling - 71.21
• Overall - 68.03

#6. Apocalypse Issi 

See the Issi in action :

Don't be fooled, this car can do alot with the right attachments and make a comeback game with the right driver. What's unique about this is its small frame for being an arena vehicle.

What makes this good in the arena is the high suspension. In comparison to the stock version, this enables the car to navigate obstacles better; Though, because of its RWD(rear wheel drive) layout, it has trouble ascending steep hills.

My advice to anyone who wants to get this would be to only use it for team events. This way you won't have to deal with blowing up every 5 minutes and your team can use distractions. 

What Makes The Apocalypse Issi So Great : 

• Its small frame. Because the car is so small it becomes a harder target to hit in the arena(and in general really). But add all the attachments and mods available and you have a great combination. Yes it can be destroyed and lifted up more easily but with the right driver you can manage. 
• Sneak attacks. Let's say you put a ram on it and add lasers, with your small size you can sneak up on unsuspecting vehicles and flip them. Though the catch is to get them off guard, tricky but not impossible. 

Apocalypse Issi Stats : 

• Speed - 75.12
• Acceleration - 85.00
• Braking - 13.33
• Handling - 60.61
• Overall - 58.51

How To Get The Apocalypse Issi :

#5. Apocalypse Impaler 

See the Impaler in action :

This is the vehicle you see most of the time when you enter an arena match and for solid reason. It's one of the only vehicles that has plated windows and spikes on the ram. 

This is one of the classic vehicles to enter the arena. What makes this a good choice is  because the car can be installed with bodywork Spikes. These spikes deal damage to NPCs and players, contact with the spikes can instantly kill them.

My advice for anyone playing with this is to have the minigun attachment on it and use drifting to your advantage. Because this is a muscle car you have the added perk of durability and speed.

What Makes The Apocalypse Impaler So Great : 

• The high speed.Its top speed is 130 mph which is similar to other vehicles for the arena. But because most of them are heavy and weighed down this has an edge. 
• Its weaponry. Almost all the arena vehicles can have mods but this car is different. You can equip miniguns on the front of the car giving you more control over what you're shooting at. 
• Handling. With the race brakes attachment you'll have more control and maneuverability when trying to make u-turns or go around tight corners. Unfortunately the braking does not stop on a dime. 

Impaler Stats : 

• Speed - 83.17
• Acceleration - 95.00
• Braking - 23.33
• Handling - 72.73
• Overall - 68.56

How to Get The Impaler : 

You want to buy the standard Declasse Impaler for $331,835. Then like most of the vehicles on this list convert its custom variant in the Arena Workshop for $1,209,500.

#4. Scarab 

See the Scarab in action :

The uniqueness with the Scarab is the big ram that you can have equipped on. It's best for knocking other cars over and it can sometimes protect the driver from getting flipped themselves. (Key word: sometimes) 

The Scarab is good for the arena because In comparison to other tracked vehicles, it accelerates reasonably quickly. It also has above-average handling, and has very strong braking power.

My advice for anyone who wants to use it would be to mod it with EMP’s,lasers, and a ram to get the most out of this destructive vehicle.

What Makes The Scarab So Great : 

• Its acceleration. The top speed isn't the best but because this accelerates faster than most tracked vehicles this has an advantage of them in this field. 
• Armor. Compared to the other vehicles on this list, the Scarab can take 6 shots with a launcher before being destroyed. 
• Disabling. The spikes on the side lets you take out the tires of any vehicle that gets close.(If they have tires that is)

Scarab Stats : 

• Speed - 53.66
• Acceleration - 25.00
• Braking - 23.33
• Handling - 68.18
• Overall - 42.54

How to Get The Scarab : 

You can purchase this from the Arena War store for $3,076,290. No converting.

#3. Brutus 

See the Brutus in action :

The brutus was the first truck I bought when I started doing the arena. The roller that you see in the picture makes it unique because it can move vehicles its size out of the way. (Plus it can grind away at bigger vehicles until they blow up) 

Why this is good in the arena despite what others say is this, similar to other Arena competitors. The vehicle also has outstanding off-road handling, though scoop enhancements might limit its performance.

My advice to any would be to mod the vehicle as much as possible and use it only on off-road maps, you won't be the most unstoppable player but you can still be a team player.

What Makes The Brutus So Great : 

• Top speed. For the vehicle class that is in the brutus has better mph’s  making it a pick over others. 
• AWD(All wheel drive). With most vehicles in the arena having FWD this gives it an advantage on rocky terrains. 
• Explosive Resistance. Amount of explosives required to destroy the Brutus with 100% armor, and occupied by a player is 4 if they have a homing launcher. 

Brutus Stats : 

• Speed - 75.12
• Acceleration - 67.50
• Braking - 20.00
• Handling - 60.61
• Overall - 55.81

How to Get The Brutus : 

You can purchase it from Arena War for $2,666,650. No converting. 

#2. Cerberus

See the Cerberus in action :

This truck's uniqueness comes from its rear feature. Despite all the negative things about this vehicle it still has its purpose and uses. 

The truck's length relative to other trucks implies explosions to the rear are far less likely to do damage to the vehicle's fuel tanks, which is somewhat advantageous given that a single explosion nearby could cause the truck to catch fire.

My advice for anyone who wants to use this for themselves? Honestly only use it if you have no other option. It's really good at causing distractions and ramming other vehicles with medium force. 

What Makes The Cerberus So Great : 

• Its size. Because of the truck's length relative to others in its class, explosions to the rear are less likely to damage the vehicle's fuel tanks. This has its advantages given that a single explosion nearby could cause the truck to catch fire.
• Unique attachments. By default, the Cerberus is equipped with a cab-mounted flamethrower (This is usable by the driver). The flamethrower has bad range but that doesn't mean it's terrible in an arena setting.

Cerberus Stats : 

• Speed - 65.45
• Acceleration - 47.5
• Brake - 8.33
• Handling - 48.48
• Overall - 42.44

How to Get The Cerberus : 

Purchase it from Arena War for $3,870,300. No converting.

#1. Sasquatch

See the Sasquatch in action : 

This Makes the number one list because it's just so fun to use in arena mode. For as small as the frame is it goes very much underestimated. 

The reason this is great in arena mode is due to its large wheels, it can pose a serious threat. Any smaller vehicle caught between a side's two wheels may be instantly destroyed or suffer serious damage.

My advice for anyone who wants to use this would be to use the wheel and weapons equipped to your advantage. Say for example you put spikes on the wheels, well now even for your size players will go the opposite direction.

What Makes Sasquatch So Great : 

• Acceleration for its class. As you can see from the stats below it’s acceleration is 100 making it faster then all in its class. 
• Its huge wheels. These can be used as added defense or offense depending on the situation. The car having all wheel drive is also a great combination with this.
• Armor. This is one of the only vehicles in the arena that can take 6 hits before exploding, giving you time to deal damage or escape.

 Sasquatch Stats : 

• Speed - 69.75
• Acceleration - 100
• Braking - 21.67
• Handling - 68.24
• Overall - 65.09

How to Get The Sasquatch : 

First, buy the standard Bravado Rat-Truck for $37,500. Second, and convert it to its custom variant in the Arena Workshop for $1,530,875.
