Great vehicles to wreck shit with

tl;dr

So this was a short little blog on some of the best rides in gaming to cause destruction with, so yeah this will be a pretty short blog. Also PS- the vehicles being mention here are only from games I've played so no why isn't this here comment please.

Introduction

Sometimes in gaming you really don’t care and just want to create as much chaos as possible, but most of the time your character has limits of not being over powered by being a mortal. Then the Gods of Destruction feel your sorrow and give you a vehicle to just let you wreck hell on which ever game you’re playing, so this is a short listing of some of the best vehicles to create destruction with.

Scarab- Halo Wars

Nope not that one, but this one instead

Now this is a Scarab

So yeah this is to me Halo’s take on the AT-AT from Star Wars as it takes has a pretty dumb weakness, well it does in Halo 2, 3, and Odst where all you have to do is shoot the really obvious spot on the back or just ride the thing to make it self-destruct, but in Halo Wars holy crap does this do so much damage and makes it worth the wait as it takes a lot of resources to make within the game. The firepower that these behemoths do on the battlefield is a lot as within seconds they can pretty much destroy any unit on the battlefield, but there is one Scarab within this game that even makes the regular units look rather weak in contrast aka the Super Scarab.

Yep an entire mission spent trying to not get within it's sight

This version of the Scarab is so powerful that basically it’s when you get in it’s point of view as the mission actually warns to stay out of it’s sight. Well since I wanted to see how powerful the eye of sauron .. I mean Super Scarab was, so I turned down the difficultly to easy just in case. Even with a lowest difficultly my god does it take a lot of time to damage this with any form of attack which includes orbital bombardments.

Why Use this Vehicle- It all terrain giant robot spider with laser that can destroy tanks within seconds, and can within a crapton of damage within Halo Wars, but can be taken down in Halo 3 if you shoots it’s big obvious hit point.

Tanks- Pretty much every game with a tank

No not that tank, this one

Now this is a tank to be proud of

If there has been one vehicle that has been consistently one of the most destructive vehicles in gaming as well if you’ve played Gta III or Vice City well you know how powerful a tank can be. That tank alone was so powerful that it caused pretty much every other vehicle it came in contact with to come with a case of explosions, even though it has a weakness to water just like your character in gta III/Vice City. Since tanks are some of the most destructive vehicles in gaming you think there would be more modes around this vehicle, but sadly there aren’t many of those.

So in a sense the tank just owns for it’s main cannon and having relatively great armor though it can be taken down by a few shots from an rpgs or something with the same power as one, but sometimes you have tanks with a gunner that makes sure that that doesn’t happen at all. When it comes down to it tanks have been one the only vehicles in gaming that can fit in many settings, though with the amount of military style shooters chances are they’ll look really brown.

Why Use This Vehicle- Since it pretty is a blast to play in it’s many appearances in gaming due to the shear firepower it has, the fact that it meant to be all purpose means of destruction as all units on air, land or sea are all targets to this war machine.

Metal Gear Rex- Metal Gear Solid 1 and 4

This giant robot dinosaur is so epic not only as a boss when you fight in Mgs 1 in which it shoots Solid Snake with missiles, lasers and it’s machine gun, and even though you defeat it in Mgs 1 to let it lay in ruins in for 9 years. Then when you come back to Shadow Moses well it still there and after turning it on, well you finally get to see some truly powerful devastation of this walking tank, as you just destroy countless Metal Gear Gekko’s as you escape the destruction of Shadow Moses. The thing is even after escaping the destruction of Shadow Moses, an old enemy waits for you, in what is perhaps one of the best boss fights in gaming to me.

One of the best boss fights in gaming

The boss fight between Rex and Ray was epic in terms of scale as you the surrounding area in ruins, as you fought a Metal Gear unit that was meant to destroy Rex. In the end even though Metal Gear Rex has been inactive for 9 years after the Shadow Moses incident it still managed to fend off a machine that was meant to kill MG Rex.

Why you should use it- IT’S A GIANT ROBOT DINOSAUR WITH GUNS, LASERS, AND IT'S ALL TERRAIN TOO.

Conclusion

So yeah these are some vehicles you should use if you’re trying to take over the world or just want to create as much havoc within a game. I do plan to have a longer list based on vehicles though I might Disney it up to just mention off my favorite vehicles to use in gaming, but leave a comment on what are your favorite vehicles of destruction or I’ll use the Death Star on you.

Sweet Tooth's ice cream truck trumps them all. Twisted Metal ftw.

One of my personal favorites is the Ride Armor from the Mega Man X series most notable being the Hawk Carrier from X 3. Missiles, hover jets, and an extra life bar. It's truly one of the best. Also would you consider Yoshi to be a vehicle?

I'd Choose the Goliath from BattleTanx Global Assault, pesky M1 Abrams moving your direction from the other side of the city? Forget trying to navigate the maze of city streets, just make your own path.
