Is D-Walker useful as a buddy

[ChequeMate]

I generally use D-Dog most of the time since Quiet makes infiltration a joke. Need to make some varied infiltrations so thinking about using D Walker for a couple of missions. What are the most useful equipment for him?

[Mystic Referee]

While D-Walker can get some silenced weapons. D-Walker seems to be best suited for loud assualts where it's heavy weapons are invaluable.

hmm d walker can attract all enemies kinda on him, however he wont stay for long if he gots feed up with nades.In open terrain he is pretty good for taking out a lot of enemies , but when it comes to close areas with walls or defense. it's his weakness due the fact he just doesnt move.

It's a stationairy target kinda.

However you can equip him with fulton and other stuff to be non lethal and snipe targets far away ,but the fact he doesnt move kinda bothers me with his interception head :D

D-walker's Surveillance Head has the longest marking of all the buddies.
The tranq guns are awesome too.
my favorite buddy to use when i played single player.

I have only used D-Walker for one thing. S-Rank Skull Face. Otherwise, I'd rather just have DD.

D-Walker is a very good buddy. It is as fast as D-Horse. Although you can't hide on the side like you could with D-Horse, it can reach top speed instantly and it doesn't recieve fall damage when in running mode.

The most useful equipment I've found is the Surveillance Head. It can detect enemy up to ~175m even behind obstacles. My usual tactics with this head is to dismount D-Walker at the outskirt of the outpost and have it scans for enemies. Once I've infiltrated far enough, I would find a safe spot, call D-Walker to my location and let it scan again. When I'm done infiltrating, I would just call in D-Walker and be on my merry way.

Support Head v2 comes close. With it, D-Walker can enter stealth mode and avoid being seen by enemies. But be sure to park D-Walker out of the way of guards because guards can still bump into it and fire at it subsequently.


My go-to setup for D-Walker is:

Surveilance Head - for marking enemies
Guided Missile - for taking out chopper or vehicle, so I don't have to bring a rocket launcher
Tranq pistol/SMG - for taking out guards that I happened to come across when riding D-Walker

I've got D-Walker equipped with ATGMs now, so I think I'll replay that timed "kill the armoured vehicles" mission and see how it works with him as the main weapon. He's certainly the most heavily-armed of the budie which leads me to a question: is Boss credited with killing enemies (horn grows, etc.) when a buddy does the killing?

its used as i know for s ranking some missions in africa cz its very fast

[HeikoFennec]

D-Walker makes the "end" boss fight and the metal archea mission so much easier. I would note that in gamer moments of bloodlust it's not a bad option.

[Strummer]

I haven't yet figured out if you can get D-Walker to attack targets remotely or whether you have to be riding it.

[Chazz]

you have to use the interception head to let it attack "automaticly"

otherwise you need to ride it for killing enemies

Thank you!
