Heists in PAYDAY 3 can range from silent and stealthy to an all-out massacre as hordes of police descend upon your location in their attempt to apprehend you. And the Bulldozer enemy will definitely be one of your biggest adversaries.

How to defeat Dozers in PAYDAY 3

To beat Dozers in PAYDAY 3, the best thing you can do is aim for the head to shoot off their mask and get in close to them so you can secure the shot.

The body armor of a Dozer is near-impenetrable, but in aiming for the head, you have a better chance of securing the kill. Shooting their mask off weakens them significantly and makes them susceptible to heavy damage.

With all your weapons to choose from, we would advise using a shotgun at close range so you can reduce the spread and deliver a mighty blow. However, if the idea of getting close to a Dozer is too intimidating, sniping their heads with a marksman weapon is also pretty viable.
