The Predator is a police assault boat that the police and the a player may use. It has appeared in the following games:

Description

The Predator is apparently 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 a unique in that it has built-in .50 caliber machine guns on both sides of the hull, 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 appear if the player has a wanted level and is on water. 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 IV, the Predator doesn't have the built-in machine guns, which are replaced by officers on the back who will shoot the player with M4 Carbine assault rifles, regardless of their wanted level. It is possible that they'll 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.
