Damage and range
The Bulldog costs 2050 credits and holds 24 rounds. A body shot deals 35 damage and a headshot about 115: one headshot does not kill an armored enemy. Right-click aims down sights and fires three-round bursts that are very accurate at mid range.
When to buy it
On force buys and when you can afford something better than an SMG but not a Vandal or Phantom with heavy armor. With light or regen armor and a few abilities, it is a reasonable buy.
When not to
If a few hundred credits more would get you a Vandal or Phantom: the damage difference is big. Also if it would leave you unable to buy next round: the Bulldog is not worth a broken economy.
What it beats and what beats it
Strong at mid range with aimed bursts, against SMGs and pistols. Weak against the Vandal and Phantom on even terms, because it needs more than one headshot, and against snipers.
How to use it
- At mid range use the right-click burst: it is the gun's strength.
- Up close, fire without aiming down sights, in short bursts.
- Always aim for the head: one is not enough, but it shortens the duel a lot.
- If you can, pick up a dead enemy's gun: a Vandal or Phantom on the floor is worth more than your Bulldog.
