So how exactly is D-walker supposed to be utilized?

[Erebus]

I've finished the majority of the game, but still have no idea how I'm supposed to properly utilize this thing.

Leave him in the hangar.

I hardly used it. Aiming with it's non-gatling guns is pretty hard, that stealth mode it's supposed to have I've never discovered/researched, hitting something with that low-ammo Fulton gun isn't really easy/too practical either.

But, if you don't have vehicles I guess he is a good replacement for D-Horse. With D-Walker you just need to hold down that sprint button that, on horse, you would need to press repeatedly.

Well, he does seem to be the fastest vehicle in the game with the drive mode.

He's also the strongest thing I've seen when used agains the Skulls, especially those on Metallic Archaea.

It can mark enemies for you, tranq enemies for you, fulton enemies for you with a FULTON LAUNCHER and it's the funnest vehicle in the game
It can do everything that the other buddies do basically

That felt a little ridiculous. Those that make your chopper with Code Talker crash: At first I used RPG and grenades and rifle and stuff on them and hardly got by, ran out of ammo and died. Then I spawned with D-Walker and basically ran them over with the gatling gun in no time.

Maybe I was using the wrong loadout, but it was utter garbage in Metallic Archaea.

Because you didn't attach the gatling gun, lol. You can customize it on your iDroid in the Aerial Command Center

F-Javelin is the most fun thing ever. We so need a handheld. and more ammo...

yeah, scout head can spot things like DD only farther out and last like quiet's spotting, he has a head to let him turn into a combat companion like quiet only better at ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ up vehicals, he has a stealth head that lets you keep him hidden or use him as a roadblock. I will admit his flame thrower is neat but its not that great overall and his missile launcher is lack luster. But he is a tough lil SOB and his punces are mean

Once you equip the Scouting Head upgrade, he becomes D-Dog and D-Horse all in one. If the fulton ballista wasn't so hard to aim, it would be the perfect buddy.

Also FYI the armored skulls are weak against high penetration weapons, sniper rifles like the Brennan utterly destroys them, even on Extreme.

Scouting head can pick up guys in front of him at 170m through mountains walls and buildings, he is silent when in drive mode at his slowest speed, he can fall from any height in drive mode, and his stun gun is silent and hits everything in its fire path up to 30m, again through all obstacles, multiple enemies at once included.

Riot suits do nothing, one stun gun shot is all you need. You can also just run guys over to stun them. He can also carry 100 tranquilizer rounds with an unlimited suppressor.

[JamesTC92]

You can S-Rank the Skull Face mission by just driving through all the enemies with armour and a shield on really easily. That is the only thing I have used D-Walker for up to now.

[BuildTheWall]

Even when you do get spotted, you can usually just use your speed to drive away and then come up behind your enemies for an easy surprise attack.
