Thats overkill when all you need is the rest of your team to be oblivious to the one enemy running across the field just to sneak up behind you and palnt the C5 which is most of the time.
The unbreakable shield, the one-shot, fast shield bash, and the ability to sprint with little to no threat to the player makes that character an absolute nightmare to fight. He really needs a nerf imo. I absolutely lost it when I saw that Dozer's shield can block a tank round.
no lol I dont even play him in any other mode but rush but its always kind of a comedic relief to see a dozer run into a fight even if its you he's facing off with lol
It is very frustrating to play against, the shield shouldn't be able to deflect underbarrel grenades nor rockets let alone tank shells! That is beyond ridiculous. Also melee range is insane
It's something I discovered eons ago and forgot about it, It seems that some rounds on shotguns can pierce right through the shield. You may want to try to play shotgun
The knife is sort of a melee weapon and it one shots from any distance, and you can one shot melee any enemy with any melee if you can get behind them.
It honestly shocked me the shield one shots. Idk why so many games have a guy with a heavy shield be able to one shot. It’s like the operator is made of titanium and be able to block explosives.
I kinda think it's fine how Dozer is after the buff. The problem is that nobody freaking uses stuff like the M2 which causes enemy vehicles and Dozers get away with server murder lol. They used reverse psychology and buffed Dozer to teach the Battlefield community how to destroy vehicles, haha =P.
@@NippleSauce There is basically no counter play when you run into a dozer at close range. He can run at you and you can't jump around him anymore like you used to be able to. Dozer is problematic and needlessly annoying. Screw anyone except engineers when running into Dozer I guess? That's not good balance. The problem isn't that Dozer can 'get away with server murder', the problem is that he's basically impossible to deal with in a 1v1 unless the Dozer makes a massive misplay. Some 1K/D Andy can easily get a kill on a 6K/D player just by being in annoying spots. No skill required.
It's a melee weapon. One hit is fine. Maybe the changing sprint speed with the shield would be a more "fun" adjustment. It's fun and satisfying to splat people. It's the same being able to run away, IF you see it coming.
Instead of making it so the shield can take all of the shots they should make it so there’s a stamina bar. And when the bullets are hitting the shield it decreases the stamina until there is none left. If you run out of stamina you can’t have the shield out until it regains.
Or like a reload timer. Hit twice and then wait like 30 seconds until you can use the shield for offense again. Use it to shield only during the wait or switch to your gun.
The Riot Shield has ever been "OP" since the BF4 days. But well they nefted it by changing the "Bullet Ploof Grass" to just "Soda Glass" and it been forgotten as soon as it started getting popular like in a month.
1:54 I legitimately thought you somehow went into 3rd person with the riot shield. Your arms went down as you switched weapons, and another player with a shield clipped through you lol!
I think rounds to the shield viewing window (headshots) should penetrate after something 3-4 rounds. In a small space there is almost nothing you can do to stop it. Also it should require at least two hits with the shield to kill so at least you can take a hit then try and get behind him where he is vulnerable.
I could swear I headshot a Dozer through the glass the other day. Maybe it was the hit box glitching through though. I think I was using armour piercing rounds on an assault rifle
The balance should be that the bash isn't 1 shot + there's a stamina penalty when holding it so that if you have the shield out constantly you can't bash with it when you have 0 stamina. Then you can use it the way you're supposed to, down corridors etc to push and open flanks. Personally I've had a blast playing as Dozer, especially in the Dozer vs Dozer shield fights but it really is OP xD.
I mean a gravity defying wing-suit and an indestructible shield with an immovable object of a man that seems to have the mass of the sun. They really strayed far from what battlefield should be with these "operators" or whatever you wanna call them.
I guess when they call it a ballistic shield they are referring to its apparent ballistic propellant which allows it to crush combatants on the other side with incredible force.
I saw the video title on my phone and thought "but Jack already did a Dozer video, what's he done this time?" Also, it would be epic if you could get an entire team to commit to using the shield and go full phalanx mode for a game.
If it works for you, then the dozers you are playing against must be f**king idiots to run into literal fire. the dozers I play against just wait for the fire to go out before they attack me. Also: not everyone can run around with incendiaries, you know, some people run frags, flashes, smokes, aka: grenades that have more uses than countering one guy with a shield who should not have been this strong in the first place?
Dozer has always been my main since I started playing and he could always do this kinda stuff but the thing that prevented him from becoming a one man army was the range of the shield and that it reduced how fast you could turn so the way to defeat him was going around him and killing from the back.
Easy fix is just to allow high caliber rounds/explosives to nullify the invulnerability, additionally, they could make the shield bash a 2 hit kill instead of one. Until then, I'm going to continue to dominate as Dozer XD
I mean... it's broken. It should either have a "health bar" and a cooldown or it should be possible to counter with armor piercing rounds and explosives.
I usually aim for their feet when they're walking with the shield As for balancing: Make him walk slower when equipped with the shield, or change it to a 2-hit strike to kill someone
@@squidwardo7074 Not saying it should be mil sim, I am stating that a shield that can't be broken is a bit ridiculous same goes with any fps not just this one.
That is what happens when you try to make a niche tactics works in too many scenarios. Dice were probably too focus on pickrates and not gameplay when they decided these changes.
Man, I'm so excited for DICE to wait 6 months for every casual player with 0.5kd to also complain before it gets nerfed. It should be obvious to anyone with 3 available brain-cells, that this character is busted and un-fun to play against.
Really enjoyed this one! Laughing out loud the whole way through :D Can't believe its a OHK with the shield - like, why is it not some push-back effect instead? Or, 33% damage + pushback? Does the shield have poisoned spikes on it or something?? :D :D
You guys were fun as hell to play with on renewal last night crossplay ps5 Xbox pc I’m oAo kritical u have an insane clan and badass players ! I’m a long distance sniper but damn what a heart pumping adrenaline rush with you guys badass ! I’m a 1180m long distance camp sniper but damn u guys are goats for sure ggs
also adding Dozer objectives on the pass really increased the usage of this shield wielding bast... anyways, yeah, dude's a menace now, or a god if you're the one using it 🤣🤣
Imagine driving a tank and seeing 4 bloodthirsty dozers with c5 running at you from different directions

Well great, now I’m a dozer main.
What they need to do is make that glass on the shield susceptible to explosions and higher caliber rounds
no lol I dont even play him in any other mode but rush but its always kind of a comedic relief to see a dozer run into a fight even if its you he's facing off with lol
Okay but maybe like a bit but still
You sure ? I just killed a Dozer with a tank round.
It is very frustrating to play against, the shield shouldn't be able to deflect underbarrel grenades nor rockets let alone tank shells! That is beyond ridiculous. Also melee range is insane
the grenade launchers can kill them on impact, only counter it seems.
It’s also silly that lightly bumping into someone with full ballistic armor on does more damage than a sniper round lol
It's something I discovered eons ago and forgot about it, It seems that some rounds on shotguns can pierce right through the shield. You may want to try to play shotgun
Dice using Fifa sliders again when it comes to balancing. 😆
@@NickVarn I know right! also most of the SMG damage is stupid, taking 9-13 shots to kill at range, even some of the AR's need buffing.

when a ballistic shield does more damage than any melee weapon you know your game has balancing issues
The knife is sort of a melee weapon and it one shots from any distance, and you can one shot melee any enemy with any melee if you can get behind them.

giving the shield a takedown animation in which dozer is vulnerable during it would be a proper nerf I think.

I’ve had no problems hitting them with the incendiary underbarrel rounds and that takes care of them.
Shield should make you run slower and take two hits to kill. Also larger caliber bullets should do a small bit of damage bleed
Man, splash dmg bullets do dmg to Dozer. Dozer had one hit kill and was running slower and almost nobody play him
This sounds like the best course of action tbh
MW2 did it right in 09 with the two hits to kill and damage reducing visibility
@@hoshbrown41 talking abour COD and balance...
The shield does make you run slower lmao
Saw this coming as soon as they announced they were buffing him
You can stop Dozer with the defibrillator shock if you're a support specialists.
Bet, say that 😂. I’m going to be their worst nightmare
@@el1e869lol
It's all i have been doing since week 2
You will die before, they will knife you.
Dozer did really need a buff but i think Dice have really overdone it 😂

Also it should require at least two hits with the shield to kill so at least you can take a hit then try and get behind him where he is vulnerable.
You can kill him with the medic and the defibrillator
Hell adding bullet damage to the glass so he can't see where he is going can be good aswell.
lol a simple answer to this would jus always equip lethal that explodes on impact
I could swear I headshot a Dozer through the glass the other day. Maybe it was the hit box glitching through though. I think I was using armour piercing rounds on an assault rifle

It's also insane that you can chase people down with the shield, so you can't even run away from a dozer..

As a siege player I have dealt with shields for years, Dozer didn’t scare me… much
The riot shield is a one shot?
That's nuts
And he’s resistant to explosives..
Always has been
Nothing beats Jack's jeep/katana videos for bf5. Unstoppable.
I guess when they call it a ballistic shield they are referring to its apparent ballistic propellant which allows it to crush combatants on the other side with incredible force.

Squid g been doin this for months with dozer and months nice to see you bk on battlefield
I played him last night and got a 15 melee kill streak
this reminds me of Halo 3 and reach flood game mode with the super tank zombie
thank you Jack, you just give me more reasons not to play this game
Got the same reaction when seeing a Dozer, like seeing a Blitz run towards you in R6S
Maybe the best feeling yet in BF when you see the panic of someone who realizes they are about to be dozer smashed.

Dozer was OP before the buffs and now he's a monster. I have no idea wtf they were thinking buffing an already ridiculous item.
He was never op lmao
that bullet deflection kill was amazing

Its kinda more hard to hit him now, but its still effective.
