Overview
The Predator is Vice City’s police patrol boat — the maritime equivalent of a police cruiser. When you’re speeding across the bay in a stolen speedboat, the Predator is what chases you. Fast, armed, and relentless.
Vice City’s waterways are a major part of the map, and the Predator ensures that crime doesn’t pay even on the open water. Its mounted gun and multiple officers make it a serious threat when you’re trying to lose a wanted level at sea.
Classic Vice City & GTA 6 Connection
Boats are confirmed for GTA 6 — the Ultimate Edition includes the Squalo speedboat, and Leonida’s extensive coastline and waterways make naval gameplay essential.
A modern police boat equivalent would fit perfectly in GTA 6’s Coast Guard missions, which connect to Jason’s drug-running operations through the Leonida Keys.
Trivia

- Vice City’s waterways are patrolled by the VPUD (Vice Port Unified Department).
