Commando Archive

the reason why the launcher pistol uses the other skills is because its a pistol. the HAR and the flamethrower are there own weapons with seperate modifiers and skills. The launcher pistol is kind of a compromise to a degree, we now get to use some of what we trained for with one of our weapons. However now our "primary" weapon doesn't increase ever unless we take a second profession with it.

In the end nothing has really changed except now the LP gives HW xp, and the devs have stated that the LP is suppose to be the primary weapon we use, a weapon in which we do not gain any new skills in. This is where their logic fails, the flamethrower and acid rifle need to be our primary weapons using each one depending on the tactics with the RL, and beam cannons as secondary. These are the weapons we progess in throughout our carreer not the LP.

It would be nice however if they gave us some skills and bonuses for the LP in our trees that way we would have a pistol, carbine, and rifle equivalent as we progress as commandos and then the LP could be a primary weapon. But if something doesn't advance i don't see it as a primary weapon. Even a smuggler advances with some special moves in the pistol they don't recieve modifiers but they at least get special moves.

The beam rifle i have looks exactly like the acid rifle and it says i dont have the cert for it even though im at heavy support master anyone know what this gun is for?? I cant even find the cert on our entire commando skill tree.

I know it's bugged, i.e. no cert yet and probably the wrong name etc etc but I had the resources to make a beam rifle so I made one. Here is the rather bugged result

That's a heavy weapon? I've seen pistols that do more damage than that per hit, and do it four times as fast.

Pretty sad. At least the Launcher Pistol seems to work.
