The Commando has its uses, It can one shot a lot of structures in the weak point (If they have one). The first thing I found was the mortars, AA, and the large turrets have been one shot with the commando once I got into first person and aimed for the big yellow grate. For the hulks on the other hand I had a bit of trouble as... Well in this extreme case there where 4 of them and I was raiding the heavy outpost. Being in such close range to so many enemies was a nightmare. I was doing this solo and I have to say I couldn't test how many hits I needed.

The commando is surprisingly a great sidegrade to the EAT! You can carry four missiles that oneshot hulks to the head, and the cooldown is only 2 minutes. And it absolutely wrecks bot bases, so that’s a huge win! Definitely gonna be my go to anti tank option for the bots, we’ll see how it handles bugs after we crush this order! For democracy!

You do realize all our laser weapons and shield bp are just ripped straight from the illuminate right? Hell even our FTL is ripped from their technology.

Commando, EAT, Eagle 500kg, and Orbital Precision Strike. The ultimate Heavy Puncher build 👹

Arnold will be proud.

You can take down gunships in 1 shot to the engines, 2 shots to the body. You can destroy a dropship in 2 shots to the engines. fabs get destroyed in 1 shot at any angle. You can kill a hulk in 1 shot to the eye, 2 shots to the front. 2 shots to kill a factory striders turret, 4 shots to the eye/belly to kill it. you can kill a tank and turret tower in 2 shots. Its amazing.

Commando serves as a Expendable Anti-Tank rocket launcher with four missiles and a slightly higher cooldown time. Spear, while good at locking on to larger targets, still has some issues with locking onto targets.

I absolutely LOVE the Commando in my opinion I think it’s the best support weapon. The Commando is going to be in my load out against bots when it comes available to buy. Note it pretty freaking good on the Evacuate High Value Assets especially on harder difficulties.

I REMEMBER THIS FROM THE FIRST GAME! Glad to see it show up again i like the fact we now have a multi shot rocket launcher without a backpack that way you can have a different backpack like a shield one.

I'm gonna be maining the Commando when they give it to us permanently. Truly has been the best thing I've ever used against bots. Feels like a 4 barreled EAT but the rockets have a guidance package on them.

I had someone in my squad who didn’t speak English that well. He was not sure how the commando worked and didn’t understand the explanations we provided. So he just tried it and we settled on explaining it as “fancy EAT”

Love that the weapon name is an easter egg. Referencing the Schwarzenegger film of the same name where this MLRS was featured

The Commando originally had an ammo pack in HD1, it might or might not come back. Idk, but the Commando's current state could be explored. Maybe ring up the devs for a opt-in/out Commando Support Pack for reloads, or a faster stratagem cool down.

@GlitchUnlimited

Ай бұрын

It would be awesome if it did. If not then that's not bad.

So it's basically an upgrade to expendable rocket launcher as it has 4 shots instead of two 1 shot blast. You can use a backpack with it essentially like a river.

Love the commando..1 shots everything crucial, fab from any side, easy to aim, no backpack, and if you leave 1 rocket you can reload it

I think the Commando is best compared to the Expendable Anti-Tank as it's a direct competitor as a secondary support weapon, and not the Spear which you would carry as a dedicated support weapon. What I mean is, you come into a map with two support weapons; like a Grenade Launcher, Machine Gun, or Anti-material rifle. When you see a target of opportunity you call in an EAT, swap it out and expend both tubes, then grab your primary Support weapon and carry on. The Commando fulfills this role without the need to have to pick up two different EAT tubes to address threats before getting back your primary support in exchange for a bit longer of a cooldown. We'll have to see a more direct comparison to the damage to the EAT to see if it will outcompete the EAT in it's niche.

For termanids, the commando 2 shots chargers and 4 well placed shots take out a titan. It's also great for the spore towers and shrieker nests.

I am absolutely loving the Commando. Fabs from any side, destroys Hulks, ships, and devs quickly. And it’s guided so moving targets are less of an issue.

The commando reminds me of the disposable anti tank. This is an upgrade from the DAT for sure. When you run a jump pack + secondary, this is a nice call down for a quick 4 shot, then back to normal secondary. You only get 2 pops with the DAT and must do a weapon swap between each shot. I'm going to enjoy the commando.

I like the flare idea, could even give it a research upgrade. Have flares provide accuracy to some strats on weather cover planets or the effect modifiers. And maybe a fuse timer for grenades you change with the alternate functions when you hold reload.

The spartan, preatorian & wolf guard themed armors are really cool. I personally like that the special edition armor is linked to the lore and would like armors with distinctive design from past and storied campaigns “circle back to us”…

The if we cant is not naccessary. We have more than 70% of active players dedicated to this MO. There is virtually no way we fail.

Given i have seen people pull EAT as backup weapons to med2pen weapons the commando will make for a far more effective backup item. 4 shots in the tube and able to take out factories is a pretty nice option to have even versus the precision strike and 500kg. Curio this how it handles turrets tho.

That wolf guard concept armor looks sick i wish that the helldiver devs add that armour in maybe a warbond called the hunters but it should be white and black not black and yellow

It may be a fire option for bile titans if they’re all headshots

Bro I was fighting on Aesir Pass almost the whole day, answering all sorts of SOS from Hard to Helldive, saved many Helldivers but also saw many perish… long story short we should’ve had more troops on Aesir rather than on Meissa

Idk if anyone noticed but the rocket actualy follows the laser from the commando

Its really convenient, the fact you have one extra stratagem because you don't need to get a support weapon is so fucking great.

People can’t seem to stop missunderstanding the galactic map at all. We’ve never lost X-45, it’s just under attack. And we’d prevent this if people actually helped the planets that are in the path to X.

I think its comparable to the EaT moreso than the Spear. Comparing it to the EaT, it can benefit more from the reduced cooldowns ship modules due to percentages and it has a higher cooldown. It should also be very effective in bugs because I am sure it shouldn't take more than 2 shots to the head on a bile titan, which would mean you could take out 2 at a time, at worst it will take out 1. Chargers will be super effective as it probably will 1 shot normals and definitely will 2 shot behemoths, which means that unlike EaT you can take out multiple chargers at a time, and you don't even have to stun them like you often do with the flamethrower. Against bugs, probably a good combo with Breaker Incendiary or Dominator. Bots I found Scorcher to be effective, but have not tried others.

Once again, x45 has never been lost. It's under attack. If we lost the defence it ends up at 50% hp (or 0%?) Either way, it's still currently ours until we fail the defence

Sounds like it needs some buffs. As is, it seems like either the Expendable or the Spear are better options depending on what your focus is.

Iy actually disagree. I found the Commando great for gunships. Its projectile is laser guided. It's not a lock on like the spear, but the rocket will home in if you keep the laser on your target. Considering it has 4 homing rockets and gunships often come in a pack of 5, I'd go as far as to say the Commando is a direct response to the gunships. I implore you too give it another go.
