Thanatos + Body Expertise, can it kill a Dozer in one shot?

[Oxtailake]

I haven't tried it out yet and I was just wondering if anyone else has or not. If so, does the headshot damage apply to dozer's bodies when their faceplate is still intact?

Body expertise does not have any effect whatsoever on Dozers.

At least with the Armour plates on anyway.

Nor with armor plates off. Bulldozers simply ignore the skill entirely.

Crits, on the other hand...

But yeah, if they were effected by Body Expertise that'd be pretty overpowered.

The skill is crap anyway. Berserker + Overkill ACE can help you one-shot a Dozer already.

Body Expertise doesn't work on Sniper Rifles.

Yup

Thanatos is mostly useless anyway. Just use any other sniper.

Depends on your build.

You could have a build where you use mostly your secondary and leave the Thanatos exclusively for dozers and shields. For those, the Thanatos is the only viable choice.

Why use a thanatos when you can use any other sniper and still 1 shot shields, and 3 shot dozers, and not have ♥♥♥♥ ammo capacity, ammo pickup, and firerate?

It's fine if you're using a gimmick build. But it's like the minigun... it can be fun to use; but the KSP is 1000% more practical.

Like I said, Berserker + Overkill makes Thanatos very valuable. You can even penetrate and kill multiple dozers with one shot. The only other weapon that can do this is RPG, which is the actual gimmick.

What I used on DW was Silenced Thanatos + Silenced killer + Special target ACED. If you hit the head, even with faceshield, you will kill a skulldozer if it's more than 10m away.

And use a suppresor and silenced weapons skills.

Berserker+overkill would be mostly pointless for thanatos, unless again, you're using thanatos as a gimmick weapon.

I'd rather have something that isn't essentially useless save for a few situations.

Do you not realize there is no difference where you hit? If the faceplates are on, there is no head hitbox. Face or gut shot will do the same damage.
