I apologize for the length of this but this man, but just wanted to point a few things out. A lot of people mistake Dozer for a stand alone specialist because he’s listed as an assaulter, but from what I’ve found he’s BFs version of a tank support character whose sole purpose is to be a damage sponge and always to be used with a squad that coordinates and works together. There’s various ways you can play him but he’s mostly only useful indoors, if you do have to use him outdoors I’d recommend areas with either a lot of choices for cover and concealment. Using him with a team is the most important part though. None of his gear or abilities are stand alone, you might win some fights with him here and there running solo or Randy’s, but ultimately you’re just going to end up resorting to using your gun and brain rather than him. When used in a team that focuses specifically on breaching, clearing and capturing objectives that are located inside of a building - or at least have various solid structures to provide protection to him and the team, you will find he is quite invaluable. His shield can absorb a direct hit from a SMAW at pretty much point blank range without slowing his forward movement. It also deflects rounds to whatever is directly in front of him. Combine this with even just one other person that can aim decent and you have a pretty bad thing coming at you in any small room or hallway. He’s best used with Falck, Angel and Irish or a 2nd Dozer. For larger rooms or even vehicles - Dozer can be used as more than a human shield though. Should you encounter a room or area with a bunch of Reds bunched up together, or even vehicles, he really begins to shine. Equip your squad with Smoke Grenade, Recon Grenade, C5, and Insertion Beacon. Put the C5 on his shield, toss smoke on the reds/vehicle and once it’s obstructing their view toss the recon Grenade to ping them/it through the smoke. Have Dozer shield charge in and have your specialist that equipped C5 standing by out of harms way with the det and boom, watch the magic happen. After the bulk or all of em are dead the rest of the team moves in. I will note that in the case of a vehicle - there is a chance Dozer might go down after the detonation due to him still receiving normal splash and vehicle damage - but Falck and Angel can have him back to 120 in under 8 seconds. There’s several other things you can do with him as a team - but I’m not gonna flood your comment section anymore than I have 😅

My big issue with dozer shield is that you get nothing for playing with your team. You become a passive shield for others to hide behind and fire above and around you. You should get assist for people killed by allies near you while you shield, or get xp for bullets hitting the shield. Almost every gadget gives you xp or direct value in some way. That aside, Irish just seems better. You can place a shield and shoot yourself instead of just being a passive moving piece of cover.

For me, I'm realizing that using Dozer required a mindset shift. I was using Dozer as a shield first and weapon second operator, but like you mentioned the map design isn't really in Dozer's favor. I have started using him as a weapon first operator, basically like using any other op and it has helped me tremendously. If I start off a gunfight with a few misses, I switch to the shield and the enemy usually continues dumping their mag into. Then they either turn around to find cover and I switch to my weapon to gun them down or I start to close the distance with my shield up and sprint towards them to get a shield kill. Also, chasing shield kills is definitely not the play. The shield kills will come eventually over time. I actually got 8 shield kills in a match with him and I really wasn't even trying to, I was just taking advantage of specific opportunities.

I'm actually grinding away to get Tier 1 Dozer right now. (Getting there) It is definitely a long grind compared to other specialists but as I enjoy playing as an assault specialist, Dozer is quite fun to use if you know when to use his shield, and learn how to quickly alternate between your gun and shield to get out of some situations. :) I think he has the coolest looking skin in the game too! 👍

I don't know if he got an update since this was made but I found him VERY effective at rushing objectives. Really throws a wrench in the enemies defense and breaks up the kill zone your team would have had to get through. Then once they get there you come back with a vengeance because the chaos of a contested base is where he shines. I've gotten rediculous kill streams with him.

Dozer should have some built in breach mechanics. Place an explosive on a wall/door, raise shield, have a outward blast radius of say 10 feet from the explosion point which kills and provides 'ballistic shield' stats, and then be the first to enter the new opened up entrance. Even this ability due to map design is extremely limited, but he needs something. Some tweeking at the very least. Loving this series Catalyst!

Farming for tier 1 is brutal. Mostly for Breakthrough with tight corridors and high traffic areas with decent cover and corners (which is few to none on most maps), I use Smoke grenades with a tac insertion. Use Sundance or Macklay to get a good flank spot and use tac insert, swap to dozer and smoke flank and start smacking ppl

What would be some good fixes for Dozer? Better turning speed? A bayonet-like sprint? Be able to “aim” the bullets that are being shot at you?
@CatalystHD
2 жыл бұрын
I like the idea of adding some skill in deflecting bullets but again, that relies on the intelligence of the player facing off against you because they have to shoot at you. I'm personally relieved that there are no bayonet type mechanics in the game after having it for two straight titles but I can't lie and say that wouldn't help Dozer. I think the biggest thing really is buffing the current turn cap on Dozer so he can more easily track players with his shield. It's just so easy to jump around him.

Update all of your How to not suck series since the changes making them specific equipment. Not to mention his recent buffs I recommend emergency quick swap weapon like the secondary shotgun since it is quick reload and heavy hitter, throwing knife for enemy dozer (if you can hit enemy dozer feet) or if you get almost overwhelmed by multiple enemies use the spring grenade / smoke grenades. Slide running/bashing. The new xbar can quickscope very easily and is a 2 hit kill making him a great multi-role pallete.

Yes to all of your points, but nethertheless I still think Dozer is very strong and annoying af, he just doesn't fit the battlefield gameplay at all. In many occations Dozer will not appear alone to easily get outjumped, there will be players rushing with him. In that situation it doesn't matter how experienced you are, you have 0 chance. Target the players or get to cover and he will use that chance to charge at you, jump around him and they will shoot you.
