Thread: Most damage ever in one shot?
The way to get insane numbers is to use a knockdownshot first. A Launcher Pistol and Pistol Mellee Defense 1 or Low Blow for example. That bumbs the damage up to a remarkable degree. Then hit them with Flame 2.
My max to an NPC is about 14,000 using this technique (and a damage sliced flamethrower).

In what way is commando remotely balanced?
Im not even a commando and I can answear this. Ok...
1) Almost all Commando weps have INSANE Ham costs. (correct me if im wrong on any of these)
2) Commados can only use their specials at VERY close range, like <15m.
3) All you gotta do is run around and commandos miss like hell.
4) Just stay out of range and run around you will do ok. But you gotta realize. You just dont run up to a guy with a freaking Flame Thrower. Or a Heavy Particle Beam Cannon. Ya normally those are gonna hurtcha a bit, ya.
Just a question for commandos: Whats your preferred commando wep? oh, and is the Heavy Acid Rifle any good?
Those insane numbers you are seeing are against empty lairs.
Also, there is a bug that causes FT to be treated like melee so if a player or target is laying down and/or have a rifle outthey get melee damage multiplier, I believe that is slated to be fixed.
A BH with LLC can also kill most with 1 special, unless they PC is doctor buffed. And there is really no armor that offers decent protection against lightening.
Commando weapons do not have serious HAM cost, however we do need to be extremely close 15m or less to use specials.
Rifleman cannot complain, they can do dmg that Cannot be undone with headshots, making them potentially more dangerous. Also Rifleman is MUCH easier to obtain, so the comparison is apples and oranges, he should be comparing himself to Pistoleer or Carbineer.
Furthermore, I believe I remember reading somewhere that Commandos are for the most part working as intended, so should be moot that someone is screaming "nerf" this will always happen.
I've done 23k to a lair with a pistol.....Almost certain it was a Bug with Point Blank Area Because it listed like this :
You use Hold out shot for 700
You use hold out shot for 845
......about 20 times...
Then the white Number Floats up saying i Did 23k...hehe I'm Happy 
Its not a bug, lairs that are empty will substain heavier dmg according to dev notes
