Car Types[]
There are 5 types of cars in the game:
Mudflap[]
The Mudflap is a semi-trailer truck manufactured by Titano. This vehicle is very heavy, and can destroy any buildings or obstacles in the way, excluding indestructible objects.
Company | Health | Fuel Capacity | Fuel on Spawn | Seats |
---|---|---|---|---|
Titano | 1,200 | 100 | 80 - 100 (Random Number) | 2 |
Whiplash[]
Whiplash is a sports car manufactured by Victory Motors. The Whiplash is the only car that can boost. Max speeds reach 90 while boosting and 60 while driving normally. Boosting consumes fuel rapidly, and will empty a full fuel tank in less than 30 seconds.
In Battle Pass Chapter 2, Season 4, Stark Industries’ main building had 2-3 custom Whiplashes per round that had an infinite fuel source. A boost gauge was added to the UI while seated in the driver seat, and would run out faster than the original Whiplash, but makes up for that in its recharging ability. Both cars hold 2 players.

Victory Motors | 1000 | 100 | 0 - 100 (Random Number) |
Stark Industries | 1000 | Infinite | Infinite |
