Dozer is the ONLY specialist whose specialist gadget has NO cool down? WHY?The shield kills people why is there NOT a cool down between switching guns to his shield lolThis specialist is not balanced. It’s a shield should not be able to kill anyone

I must suck with Dozer b/c I always have trouble killing someone with his shield.

@battlejokeDeadly shields are a meme in FPS games since CoD did it.But honestly he is nowhere as dangerous as people make him out to be, especially when the encounter is not a duel in a narrow corridor.I know that it can be frustrating to die due to a shield bash, but is is far from a big threat in the grand scheme of things....unless like 10 people start to make shield walls. But 10 people who are actually playing as an organized unit are a threat regardless of which specialist they pick, even 10 boris turrets next to each other could be dangerous

@UP_Hawxxeye As far as I know effect is the same as on other specialists.Another countermeasure is a defib against the shield b.t.w.

@RanzigeRidder2by the way, what is the effect of the concussion grenades on Dozer?If it is the same as on the other soldiers, then that might also work.But shooting at the feet is by far the best counter. You either kill him or he has to crouch and become much slower.

You can stun him like everyone else if the grenade detonates on his 180⁰ - it gets a little trickier depending on when/how his shield is deployed though (he still gets stunned but the shield does help get him back to normal quicker as it acts like a wall - at least that's what I believe). I think Dozer has already received a nerf but it does make sense he should have a tiny cooldown (those shields have gotta be heavy lol). That said, as annoying as he can be, I think he only really ecels in very specific situations and someone who knows he's there can trick him into kneeling or turning

Why does Dozer not have a cooldown?

@cso7777 Agreed. The whole shield of dozer thing is just pathetic.
For a start it would be heavy, and I mean really heavy, and if it can withstand C5 and a would magazine from machine guns and still be exactly the same effective wise then it's blatantly overpowered.
Then there is the speed at which people can run with its blinking mind blowingly stupid. And as for being able to kill people by hitting the other side of the wall with it, well, that just goes to show how challenged these developers are, no wonder people like using it, everything is just such an easy kill for them, and as for being able to deploy it on a zip line, well, I rest my case.
I hope the next BF Game is designed by grown-ups, not the children that clearly designed this one.

That shield is big mistake from devs. He just added simple shield because saw in other game(s) but they forgot on many details. Its funny what all Dozer can survive only with shield. This shield isn't a "GOD GUN" and in many situations depend on strength a person which holding that shield. I know if we balanced shield like in real situations nobody would play with this shield so don't add to game a things which you can't proper balance.

@amd5600xt All good tips. However on the reload part, as soon as your enemy needs to reload it provides the perfect window for switching from shield to gun and shoot them, or throw a nade at them.
