I'm using a Dominator, only for CZ.
For anything else settlement related, i use a Maverick with Quieter footsteps, an Audio Masked Executioner and a Silenced Tormentor.
That is if i bother to use a weapon and not the Zapper
Other ways to open doors?

Yeah tbh, I use the Maverick for clearing bases more often than the Dominator, just for the loot backpack
Once you know the formula...
EDIT: Also, goddammit... this thread now has me thinking of how many doors there are vs wheels in ED...

I'll buy the suit. Would I be okay buying the suit for 150,000cr or should I try my luck finding an upgraded suit

A G3 Maverick (eventually pre-modded with Quieter Footsteps) would be a significant upgrade over the G1 suit. It would have better shields than the Dominator, one class lower.
I spent a fair amount of time at the beginning just looking for pre-upgraded gear. I managed to get all G3 stuff, weapons and all, and it made quite a difference in my ability to survive. Gear is pretty important.I'll buy the suit. Would I be okay buying the suit for 150,000cr or should I try my luck finding an upgraded suit
You can just do missions and gather the stuff to upgrade your gear, but the pre-upgraded stuff saves a lot of time and effort. Plus sometimes you get mods that you won't be able to do yourself without unlocking engineers (like I got Night Vision on my Artemis suit that way).
Same with me.
I found somewhere in December a Dominator Grade 3 Suit with Damage resistance mod.
You could wait for someone else to open it.
To be honest, start looking for them, and you wont find it. G3 upgrades are a nice nudge forward, but also pretty easy to reach yourself.I'll buy the suit. Would I be okay buying the suit for 150,000cr or should I try my luck finding an upgraded suit
The engineered AND upgraded suits are pretty rare, and totally random. Lot of pre engineered stuff comes with utter useless mods, like Doms with deep pockets, Mavs with xtra air support, L6's with headshot etc, and these things stick like crap, you never get rid of these effects and you will reach a point where you are going to ditch the suit/gun, and do it right yourself, again.
If you come across an ok one, take it, of course. But I would not start looking for something you cant look but only hope for.
I wouldn't diss that out
Its a waste of a slot. You got 4 slots, and reload speed, ammo capacity,
If you shoot a single player in the face with it, it will still take 2 shots, one for the shield and one for the rest.
An un engineered L6 at G5 against a G5 Dom, needs one projectile for the shield and one for the rest, no matter how you engineer that Dom. That headshot bonus won't be of any use as it is overkill regardless.
Besides, its a splash damage weapon. You can kill 3 NPC's with 3 projectiles if you use it that way. Last and least, good luck hitting something in the head with it.
Headshots are for snipers.

Got audio masking, mixed up the 2

It's debatable.
Headshot splash damage is desirable:
- when your target is not a dumb npc that is bolted on the floor
- when you want to get a pack of npc that are spread out enough so the splash damage kills them all.
My Settlement L-6 has: fast handling, increased magazine, stowed reloading and audio mask
My CZ L-6 has: fast handling, increased magazine, stowed reloading, fast reload.
I plan to do at least another with headshot instead of fast reload and if it works i will do another one .
2x L-6 is a really nasty combo, but not as effective against jumpy human. But headshot splash damage might get them even when rockets land farther away
All is, but its still not a reason to use it. Its impractical, no matter how you debate it. Anyone is free to chose edge case scenario's over obvious use cases.
If you are able to use headshot splash damage in a way it outclasses any of the other engineering effects, fine. I would never advice it with dry eyes to anyone else though.
Provided the head shot bonus is applied to its splash damage in the first place...
