The Raider is Nod's recon vehicle that replaced the aging Attack buggy from the Second Tiberium War. It has four wheel drive, with each wheel on a separate mount and a centrally mounted cockpit with a rear-mounted machinegun that deals excellent damage to infantry and light damage to enemy aircraft.
Its primary role is reconnaissance, but when equipped with EMP coils from the Tech lab, it can be surprisingly effective at countering enemy armor assaults and neutralizing base defenses in one swift attack. Another upgrade is the laser capacitor, which replaces the machine gun with a medium power laser, increasing the buggy's firepower.
Using EMP coils, many Nod units are able to reach well defended enemy targets. First, they send in a storm of buggies and order them all to EMP in the middle of the enemy AA defenses, just as the bombers come in. This is generally countered by spreading out defenses rather then building tight clusters or building a defense tight enough that no buggy would break through.
