Much like its predecessors, it is a four wheel drive, with each wheel on a separate mount and a centrally mounted cockpit with a rear-mounted machinegun that deals significant damage to infantry and aircraft. However, it is almost useless against tanks and heavy armour. Interestingly, despite being an open-air vehicle, Raiders can drive through Tiberium fields without their drivers suffering from Tiberium poisoning. It's possible that the drivers receive Tiberium infusions by default, or that their suits are Tiberium-proof. The Raider was upgraded in the Ascension Conflict.
