| The '''Drake Tank'''<ref>''Destiny 2: The Prima Guide'', pg. 31</ref> is a battle tank that was designed by [[Amanda Holliday]] and used by [[Guardian]] forces during the [[Red War]]. It seats only one occupant, the driver. The Drake is armed with a powerful main cannon and rocket launchers with both dumbfire and targeting modes. With its firepower and armor, the Drake can go toe-to-toe with even the [[Goliath Tank]] of the [[Red Legion]]. Designed to be bi-directional, the Drake's side armor, headlights, and taillights automatically reconfigure depending on the direction the turret is facing. | | The '''Guardian Tank''' is a deployable tank that was used by [[Guardian]] forces during [[The Red War]]. |
| | |
| Following the end of the Red War, the Drake Tank was commissioned into further service by the [[Vanguard]]. The Tanks were notably deployed again during the Vanguard's return to the [[Moon]], transported into battle by [[Hawk]]s. The Tanks were also deployed again during the [[Invasion of Neptune]], after [[Nimbus]] had discovered the schematics for the tanks from [[Osiris|Osiris's]] files.

| ==Gameplay==
| |
| The Drake Tank's main armament is a turret-mounted cannon that fires a fast flying explosive [[Solar]] round. This shot is powerful enough to take off a quarter of the health of a [[Thresher]] in one shot, and its explosion can cover a large area. Players can also use the "aim" button to zoom in slightly for more precise shots. Be aware though that the cannon cannot fire straight up, so one will need to move to find an angle for flying or elevated targets. In addition to the cannon, the Drake is also outfitted with eight homing [[Arc]] missiles set in groups of four on the turret's sides. These missiles can be aimed by holding the "melee" button, which will show target lock designators over enemies they pass with their scope. Releasing the button will fire the missiles, which will home in to the target. The missiles will then slowly reload. On top of this, the Drake is heavy enough to crush most enemies it runs over, with only massive foes like [[Ogre]]s being capable of resisting it. Finally, when the tank's health goes critical, it will overload for a few moments before exploding, giving players time to get out and reach safety.

| | |
| The Drake Tank is mostly used in [[Mission]]s, but can be found is some [[Strike]]s and the [[Scourge of the Past]] [[Raid]]. Appropriately, it will be given to the player when they are expected to face heavy resistance. Occasionally, there will be large plates on the ground that allow the spawning of a fresh Drake.

| ==Trivia== | | ==Trivia== |
| *It's possible that the tank is a modified variant of [[Maintenance Tank|the almost identical vehicles]] found on [[Titan (moon)|Titan]]. | | *Guardian Tanks are only able to seat one [[Guardian]] at a time. |
| **Extracted assets show that the Drake is roughly 1.25x the size of the maintenance tanks found on Titan and [[Europa]]. While it most likely is not a modified version of them, the design similarities do indicate that they may have served as the core design source.
| |
| *[[The Tribute Hall]] had a Drake Tribute that was unlocked by earning points by meeting the minimum score threshold in Nightfalls using Calus-themed armor and weapons earned from the Menagerie or any Leviathan raid.
