Prerequisite	"Monarch Needed"

The Monarch is a vehicle featured in RAGE. Only Subway Town Speedway star racers and some bandits are known to drive Monarchs. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the Monarch is the best vehicle in the Wasteland. It can enter the most challenging Monarch class races.

The Monarch is a heavily armored combat car that carries both the Miniguns and Rocket Launchers plus a Pulse Cannon, a rare and very powerful vehicle weapon. Its basic armor is twice as tough as the heavy armor for the Cuprino, and can be upgraded even further.

In the Campaign, it is only available after completing the quests "Starky's Monarch" and "Monarch Needed".

NotesEdit

• Even though the Monarch appears to fire only one rocket at a time, ammo usage and damage dealt prove that it does in fact fire two.
• The Monarch comes with Miniguns, Rocket Launchers and Pulse Cannon preinstalled, more base weapons than any other vehicle.
• In Wellspring, beside the man leaning on the Dune Buster facing the Mick's Garage, is an unusable variant of the Monarch with Miniguns equipped and an unique paint job similar to the "Second Hand" theme of the Cuprino.
• The Heavy Armor upgrade encloses the car entirely, so any paint job will be covered by it.

TriviaEdit

• The Monarch closely resembles the "Monster", an armor-plated race car from the 2008 film Death Race. (See Easter eggs for more details.)
