The Refractor is a tracked vehicle that serves in GDI's Offense Class as a heavy tank in anti-heavy operations. Due to the unique requirement of its operation, the AT-414 is built on the chasis of a Mammoth Tank in order to support its movement. Its primary and only armament is the Skybeam Laser Cannon with a high yield that is capable of destroying large targets. This allows the weapon platform to deal with non-reinforced enemy structures as well as enemy Crawlers. As such, the vehicle is suited for assault operations though this was not its primary purpose.

| - The Refractor is a tracked vehicle that serves in GDI's Offense Class as a heavy tank in anti-heavy operations. Due to the unique requirement of its operation, the AT-414 is built on the chasis of a Mammoth Tank in order to support its movement. Its primary and only armament is the Skybeam Laser Cannon with a high yield that is capable of destroying large targets. This allows the weapon platform to deal with non-reinforced enemy structures as well as enemy Crawlers. As such, the vehicle is suited for assault operations though this was not its primary purpose. Instead, the aim of the AT-414 was defensive, with the use of a forward placed reflective shield. These weapons created by GDI engineers consist of layers of different materials. The first layer is a crystal-lattice which is formed by an electromagnetic field which allows solid projectiles to pass through it without damaging the shield. As a result, this allows solid weapons to pass through the crystalline layer which is reformed by the electromagnetic energy field. The second layer is a honey-combed alloy of heavy armor that is built to withstand kinetic force as well as heat based weapons. This part of the shield means that kinetic weaponry simply bounce harmlessly off the heavy layer of armor. The third and final part of the forward shield is an 18-inch thick plate of metal composite which absorbs any remaining force that the first two layers did not handle. Whilst the front shield is up, the Refractor is unable to fire its Skybeam Laser Cannon . However, after it redirects energy attacks back at their source, the shield can be lowered and the tank can use its primary cannon to finish off the wounded enemy vehicle. GDI engineers are also able to upgrade the shield plate and outfit it with a Mirror Coating. This uses a layer of plasma which works in conjunction with the electromagnetic field to redirect energy weapon fire at multiple targets. However, the cost of the coating requires additional capacitators as well as a great deal of energy to be effective.
