Predator

The Predator is a Police Assault Boat used by the police force. It has appeared in the following games:


 * Grand Theft Auto III
 * Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
 * Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
 * Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories
 * Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories
 * Grand Theft Auto IV
 * Grand Theft Auto V

Description
The Predator is a speedboat designed to serve local Police Departments, but its performance is typically slightly inferior to even the most basic of speedboats such as the Speeder. However, the Predator is an unique in that it has built-in .50 caliber machine guns on both sides of the hull, the boat shoots the same rounds as the helicopter Police Maverick. But in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, the boats have the Little Willie rounds, thus giving the player the ability to destroy any other boat directly in front of them; however, the guns are also revealed to seize briefly after prolonged firing, implying it is reloading ammunition.

Being a Police Boat, the Predator will, with the exception of GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories, appear if the player has a wanted level and is on water ; however, despite being a Police Vehicle, the Predator does not have Vigilante Missions associated with it. In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, an officer will be on the roof of the boat and will shoot the player if they have, at least, a two star wanted level. The Predator has been seen driving around San Fierro Bay if the player has no wanted level or lock stars cheat activated. In GTA San Andreas, the Predator also has the ability to use the radio, despite being a Police Vehicle. It also has emergency lights, but no sirens.

In GTA IV, the Police Predator does not have the built-in machine guns, having been replaced by two Police Officers at the back who will shoot the player with M4 Carbine Rifles ; the Predators themselves only begin to appear from a 3 wanted level onwards. They will be more aggressive if the wanted level is higher.

Variant
The Predator serves as the basis of another boat in GTA III, known as the Ghost (Missing). Appearing only in the mission Gone Fishing, the Ghost sports an entirely blue (PS2 version) or black (PC version) body and lacks the twin machine guns of the Predator.

 * The only way to obtain one is by having a three star wanted level in the water. When the boat is near, kill the Police Officers onboard and clear your wanted level.

 * Patrols around Fort Zancudo and Los Santos International Airport.

Trivia

 * Despite being a Police Vehicle, the player's wanted level does not go up if he collides with the Predator in another boat.
 * In GTA San Andreas, if the player ever climbs on board the Predator with the never wanted cheat, the Policeman who drives the boat will jump off the boat and drown, this glitch also happens when the player climbs on board any boat with a pedestrian in it.
 * It can be very difficult to obtain a Predator in GTA IV, because once it is boarded, others will spawn and fire on the player.
