- Description.

Here Come The Monsters is an Arena War Adversary Mode in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the Arena War update.

Description
During Here Come The Monsters, two teams are selected: Contenders and Gladiators. When the countdown timer at the start expires, the Adversary Mode will begin.

Contenders
Contenders are put on the opposite side of the Arena to the Gladiators. The Contenders are put in either Apocalypse Issis, Future Shock Issis or Nightmare Issis, depending which sequel of the Adversary Mode is being played, though you are still allowed to pick custom versions of the Arena War Issi. When the countdown timer has ended at the start of a round, the Contenders need to avoid being destroyed by the Gladiators until the timer runs out, since the Contenders only have one life. Contenders should use their small and nimble vehicles to outmaneuver the Gladiators.

Though it may seem like the Contenders have no way of fighting back, the Contenders may try to ram and shoot at the Gladiators, since the timer decreases by 30 seconds when a gladiator gets destroyed. This is risky, however, so one should only try to destroy a Gladiator when using a custom Arena War Issi.

Gladiators
Gladiators are put on the opposite side of the Arena to the Contenders. The Gladiators are put in either Apocalypse Sasquatches, Future Shock Sasquatches or Nightmare Sasquatches, depending which sequel of the Adversary Mode is being played, though you are still allowed to pick custom versions of the Sasquatch. When the countdown timer has ended at the start of a round, the Gladiators need to try to destroy all Contenders before the timer runs out. Gladiators have infinite lives, but being destroyed causes the timer to decrease by 30 seconds. Although gladiators have larger and less agile vehicles than the Contenders, destroying the Contenders isn't too difficult if Gladiators work together.

Gladiators have infinite lives, but being destroyed reduces the timer by 30 seconds. Since traps are active in the Arena, it is recommended to take precautions when health hits lower than 50%. It is possible to run over the Contenders, which causes them to explode, which is made significantly easier when a custom version with the Kinetic Grenade Launchers is used.

Contenders

 * Try to use the Issi's better agility compared to the Sasquatch to outrun them.
 * When a Sasquatch is on your tail, you can try to inflict damage on the Gladiators by going over traps. This can deal a lot of dame over time.
 * This is made easier with the use of mines.
 * It is not recommended to use the Gun Towers, since using it can be an opportunity for the Gladiators to run over your Issi.

Gladiators

 * Don't always directly follow the Contenders, try to cut them off.
 * At the start of the round you don't really have a reason to not follow a Contender through a trap. When your health starts getting low, stay clear of them.
 * Gun towers are available to inflict some extra damage to the Contenders, but it usually is better to run the contenders over.
