Editing Cart Dog (section)

==Tactical Analysis==
When spotting a player, Cart Dogs will growl, prompting them to move in the player's direction, pushing their cart relatively slowly. Since they lack any limbs, the Cart Dog's primary attack consist of them repeatedly charging the player, attempting to deal impact damage. A single attack is extremely high damage, capable of bringing even overhealed players down to low health. Additionally, due to the size of the cart, the charge is not easy to avoid, and is likely to reach an unaware or poorly-prepared player. The Cart Dog also has an incredibly high health pool of 1200 hp, making it a hard enemy to take down.

Like most high health enemies, Cart Dogs are weak to stronger weapons such as the [[Hunting Rifle]], [[Riveter]], and [[Mortar]]. However, their health requires at least three or more shots from any of these weapons to bring them down. The [[Crossbow]] is another fairly effective weapon against the Cart Dog, requiring six Bolts to slay one, while allowing to fire at the monster through cover that may block it from retaliating. The [[Super Shotgun]] can be a good weapon to use against them as well – it is possible to kill a Cart Dog with two Super Shotgun blasts if all pellets connect, but in practice it will usually take four to five shots to kill it.  Lastly, the superpowered [[Sword]] thrust attack will kill a Cart Dog in two quick stabs, but it is an even more risky solution than engaging with the Super Shotgun.

Cart Dogs have no projectile attacks, so shooting them from a distance with an [[Assault Rifle]] or Hunting Rifle can take them down relatively safely. Therefore, backstrafing while shooting is the recommended tactic for this enemy. If there is not enough space to retreat, moving around objects to prevent Cart Dog's attacks is another viable option. If neither of these methods are possible, the best course of action is to sidestep their charge attacks, then strike with a weapon while they are preparing another charge.
