The original Predator was a Class that existed from 11th July 2016 to 9th August 2016. It was a Tier 4 tank that upgraded from Hunter. It shot bullets the same way Hunter did while having the ability to move the camera away from the tank by using Right Click or Shift. This tank was removed due to its scoping functionality being merged with the X Hunter, which kept its name and scoping ability.

Design

The Predator inherited Hunter's two Cannons and added a trapezoid that's similar to Ranger's own trapezoid. Predator's wider cannon is slightly thinner to accommodate for this trapezoid.

• Predator's two barrels fired identically to Hunter's barrels.
• It had the ability to move the camera through the use of right-clicking (MOUSE2) or by pressing Shift.
  • This ability would have the camera position locked to the new position, allowing the Predator to move to a different spot (e.g. the Base) while the player behind it is still able to spectate the new view.
  • This ability would later be given to the modern day Predator.

History

• It was removed on 9th August 2016.

Trivia

• Predator's ID (30) goes completely unused in modern Diep due to it being removed.
• Predator's wider barrel is slightly thinner than Hunter's. This is so that the trapezoid would fit inside of the body.
  • Hunter's barrel width is 56.7% of the tank's body, while Predator's is 54.6% of the tank's body.
  • Humorously, it still slightly clips outside of the body.
• Predator and Mega Smasher can be found inside the legacy mobile version's asset from version 1.0.4 (1.2.0 for Mega Smasher) to 1.3.0. However, only Predator got added to the actual game.
  • Like the Desktop version, Predator was eventually removed. Its ability was transferred to the X Hunter. However, X Hunter's name remain unchanged.
