Realising the limitations present in the more advanced Scarab Collectors, CABAL sub-commanders will have the option to deploy more conventional Drone Harvesters in battlefields too hostile or too environmentally turbulent for the smaller Scarabs to function efficiently. Consisting of a regular Harvester crawler refitted with a drone brain, these Drone Harvesters can carry a much larger load of tiberium in the extra space traditional reserved for the vehicles crew and crew shielding, and have been outfitted with additional armour on their flanks to make them even more resistant to damage.

While virtually unstoppable once set on their harvesting coordinates, the Drone Harvester suffers from one key weakness: due the limited sensors used to operate it, the vehicle is essentially blind, and will not detect any enemy units that are not directly in front of it in its drive path. Wily commanders have been known to exploit this, and sneak up on these heavy crawlers before attacking them at point-blank range before being noticed.
