I think nobody can answer this, as information on the buddies' abilities has not really been revealed yet, but I was just wondering how they are all supposed to be equally useful in order to provide incentives for the player to use them all. D-Walker seems to be way superior to all other buddies.

D-Walker

- cannot be killed (for obvious reasons)

- can move silently, yet very fast (like D-Horse)

- allows to sneak up on enemies and take them out silently and non-lethally

- can scan areas and mark enemies

- can probably scan for other things (minerals, diamonds etc.), too

- can be armed heavily

- allows Big Boss to use CQC while using it
