Originally, the Chimera tank was a mining rig. The Chinese had refitted the vehicle with long range weapons and reinforced armor.
The player character may encounter Chimera tanks twice throughout the campaign, a pair off in the distance during The Guns of Anchorage and at the fuel depot during the quest Paving the Way. Only one Chimera is ever actually fought, serving as a miniboss at the fuel depot. Walking into a Chimera while crouching will knock the player character down, causing damage.
Chimera tanks are descrid as being superior to any American tank available. They are equipped with a unique laser weapon similar to Liberty Prime’s eye laser. Chimeras take slightly increased damage when shot in the screws and noticeably increased damage when shot in the cannon or radar antenna.
Chimera tanks appear only in the Fallout 3 add-on Operation: Anchorage.
