The Predator battle tank was a main battle tank used by the GDI during the third tiberium war. Most models were armed with 150mm cannons, though many were fitted with high-velocity railguns. The 65 tonne tank travelled on four articulated sets of treads, allowing it to travel at high speed around the battlefield. Its armour is highly resilient, in particular when compared to the comparatively thin armour of Nod's equivalent MBT, the Scorpion tank. However, the tank requires support from other units when facing significant enemy firepower, in particular air power, against which it has no defence. The tank had a crew of four; a driver, gunner, commander and combat engineer.

History
After reevaluating the performance and costs of maintaining Titan mechs as a main battle vehicle, GDI engineers designed a new tank to supplement the walker and later replace it after the Second Tiberium War. The 65 ton Predator formed the backbone of GDI armoured corps during the third tiberium war.

Nod Avatars and Fanatics were found to be particularly effective against Predator battle tanks, meaning that the tank frequently required support from infantry and aircraft.
