The dog

A police dog. The Doberman is lean, tall and permanently switched on: a fighting breed, and the only one that helps you with firearms.

Benefits

  • Combat breed: trains Combat twice as fast, but it panics sooner in a fight than the Rottweiler or the German Shepherd.
  • Good at hunting and obedience: XP bonus to Obedience and Hunting.
  • Steady Aim moodle: while a fed, loyal Doberman is at your side, your stress drains away (stress is a major hidden accuracy penalty in Build 42), your aim recovers faster after every shot, and you reload more quickly.
  • Police and military guard dog: roughly an 18% chance per police building and 22% per military building, plus a rare 0.5% per house (all scale with the sandbox Animal/Dog spawn multiplier).
