Payday 2 Special Enemies: Defense
These are Shields. Impervious to damage from the front except for a few weapons, this is weakened by their weak armor behind their shield, and their weak weapons. They usually guard their more damaging brethren. Threat Level: 2
How to kill: Sniper Rifles pierce shields, at the cost of greatly decreased damage, with only the Thanatos retaining enough damage to kill in one shot. Shotguns with AP Slugs also work, along with explosives.
These are Green and Black Dozers. Tough, and with powerful weapons, they are some of the most annoying and powerful enemies there are. They have the same amount of armor and health, but they carry different Shotguns. The Green Dozer carries a Pump Action Reinfield, while the Black Dozer carries a Semi-Auto Shotgun. Threat Level: Green: 4, Black: 4.5
How to kill: Use an LMG or Sniper Rifle to knock off their mask at a range and headshot them, as they have a x11 Headshot Multiplier. Otherwise use a HRL-7 Rocket Launcher or a Grenade Launcher, as explosives breach armor.
This is the Skulldozer. They only appear on Deathwish difficulty. They are borderline invincible, taking 3 shots to the body with the Thanatos .50 Cal Sniper Rifle. They wield a unique KSP with an extended 255 round Magazine instead of the normal 200. They have a high chance of spawning in pairs. Deal with them with the same tactics as regular dozers.
