| Notes | |
|
One harvester comes free with each ZOCOM Tiberium refinery | |
The Rocket harvester is ZOCOM's exclusive Tiberium gatherer used during and after the Third Tiberium War.
Background
Exclusive to GDI's ZOCOM branch, the rocket harvester has a rocket turret instead of the machine gun in the standard GDI harvester. The heavier weaponry is considered a necessity in the inhospitable red zones, where dangers such as attacking Nod, Scrin and mutant forces are ever-present. The rocket can also serve as an anti-air weapon.
In-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 Reclamator Hubs can build a new replacement.
ZOCOM Rocket Harvesters, reflecting heavy refinement efforts, are more densely armoured than their counterparts and carry a high-impact rocket laucher to fend off looters. These harvesters deal more damage to vehicles, but less to infantry. They can fire on enemy aircraft. Strangely, achieving Heroic status will grant the usual self-repair ability, but will half the fire rate of the rockets. The rockets will both fire in 0.5 seconds, but with a 7 second delay until the next firing
