Bulldozer
Bulldozers are special units that wear heavy armor and wield even heavier weapons- attempting to get in close and annihilate lawbreakers with sheer force. Bulldozers have very high health and are most vulnerable by concentrating fire on their visors to permit headshots.
Gameplay
Bulldozers have high health and massive damage output. In the Crackdown mod, these units also have some degree of explosive resistance and their visors have increased damage resistance on higher difficulties.
Bulldozers appear in four general forms, identifiable by color:
- Green Bulldozers, wielding pump-action shotguns
- Black Bulldozers, wielding rapid-fire drum magazine shotguns
- Grey/White Bulldozers, wielding especially lethal light machine guns (first appearing on Mayhem with Gensec Elites)
- Red Medic Dozers, a unit exclusive to Crackdown and equipped with basic assault rifles, but able to apply the Zeal Medic's AoE healing abilities.
Stats
All Bulldozers on a given difficulty have the same health and headshot multipliers. However, their damage output varies significantly. Details of Bulldozer weapons and damage will be added later with falloff tables.

Tips & Trivia
- On higher difficulties, Bulldozers spawn in extremely hazardous groups that synergize well. Don't attack them alone!
- The Zeal Bulldozer originally had a capital Z on its faceplate. This was removed by the Crackdown devteam (and simultaneously by the Payday 2 developers) due to the use of this emblem in the Russian re-invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
Design
- Bulldozers have undergone some of the most extensive asset redevelopment on the Crackdown difficulty to address numerous issues with coloration and conveyance.
- Bulldozers remain a significant player threat, but despite their high damage output, they are often not the highest priority because so many other enemy types can synergize with them. In particular, Medics make Bulldozers many times more threatening.
