This is a unit spotlight on one of the new subfaction units. This time, it's the Zone Raiders, specific to the GDI ZOCOM subfaction.
The Zone Raider is similar to the Zone Trooper, but armed with different weaponry. It has a sonic RPG launcher which can clear Tiberium from an area, or decimate structures and lower-tech units. This is not however a homing weapon, and can be easily outmanoeuvred by single units. It is also armed with a missile launcher capable of attacking air targets.
They have the same abilities and upgrades as the Zone Trooper - they can call for transports and use jump jets, and be upgraded with Scanner Packs and Power Packs.
They replace the Zone Trooper for the ZOCOM subfaction. Naturally, they have Tiberium immunity, and can be garrisoned inside the new Hammerhead Gunship to assault from above. They can also be called in by the Drop Pods support power.
