The third-generation Harvester is a Nod vehicle that can carry Tiberium from one place to its refinery.
Design[]
Once Nod regained its stealth technology, the Nod Harvester was upgraded with a portable stealth generator, much like the stealth tank. Thus, Harvesters made Tiberium fields seemingly vanish before one's eyes and made them much more difficult to "harvester hunt". Their only major enemies were GDI Pitbulls, Nod attack bikes and Scrin Seekers, which both wielded anti-vehicle weapons and stealth detectors.
Unlike the design of the GDI harvester, which has their harvesting apparatus in front of the vehicle, Nod harvesters have it placed to the rear, collecting Tiberium with two sickle-like objects that dig and plow the ground.
Game unit[]
A harvester comes free of charge with every new refinery. It automatically starts searching for available Tiberium fields and collecting crystals before returning back to the refinery to have them processed. When lost, War Factories and Redeemer engineering facilities can build a new replacement. Each Harvester returns 1400 credits per load of Green Tiberium.
Black Hand variant[]
The Black Hand utilizes the same harvesters as the rest of Nod forces, but in accordance with their doctrine of abolishing stealth technology to inspire terror in their enemies, their harvesters also lack the stealth generator.

Trivia[]
- Originally, the Nod Harvester was supposed to be armed with a weapon similar to its GDI counterpart, which was cut and replaced with stealth ability, as a complete set of attacking quotes can be found in the game files. The "Attack" quotes play when ordering a Nod harvester to "Attack Move" with enemies visible regardless of the distance, whereas the "Attack Move" quotes play for other units if the targets are far away.
