Since the latest update, Dozer has been buffed allowing him to bash players @ 2 meters distance. This has become quite annoying because it doesn't allow the opponent to escape on a 1vs1 situation and it's not fun to get bashed by someone that is not in range. They should return to the 1 meter bash distance prior the latest update. Saying that I think the updated moving speed while equipping the shield is a good improvement.
You can shoot the shield holder in the foot a fair few times they do not flinch?
They then tap you with a shield your dead!!
@Kunstula I'll never stop saying it, the new range is awful and too unrealistic. Dozer is out of reach and still can bash the s**t out of you 😞. Previously a well timed jump could have been a good counter-attack, now it's nearly impossible especially when in a tight enclosed environment. As for 1HK it was never a big issue pre-buff, but now with the increased movement speed maybe it should be a 2HK?! Definitely I would bring the range back to what it was and then see how that will work, before changing the damage output.
Dozer is fine. Seriously, not hard to run away from at all or countering. I play him alot and get killed or escaped by those that know how to. I do the exact same when I see a Dozer running against me. Maybe play him for a few hours to learn how others counter him.
This is Dice's answer for explosive spam and to counter sticky SPH
Perhaps, and this is just a thought here, but perhaps after last week's requirement to get 20 melee kills, halfed if Dozer used, people realised Dozer could be fun to use so more are using him?
Again just a thought because the gods forbid anyone having fun in Battlefield.....
@Trokey66compared to the pre nerf bayonet rush in BF1, Dozer is very tame.
Basically Dozer now has a chance to shield bash people who are not as "good" at the game as my mother is at using electronics devices.
If I see a Dozer headed to towards me, I will retreat while making sure he does not switch to a gun. If he is charging towards someone else then I will go around the shield and nail him.
Dozer is completely stupid. He ca. Rush a room and kill ten people by pushing them with a shield. Not to mention the shield can take a hit from a tank round, rpg, m5... it is unstoppable. Give us a break DICE, this is stupid and annoying. We got used to needing 50 rounds from a 30 caliber machine gun to get a kill but hey the one shot pistol or even better a crossbow, that makes sense. Morons!!
@SRago1 he doesn't even have to run into the room cause the range of the shield is like crazy high! 👿😠
