Ok so I'm thinking of making a new commando toon and in the process I use this stickied guide that I've found on the WS forums to see what weapons I will need to start working on the commando trees. Well, I know that the commando trees use xp as follows combat/heavy/heavy/heavy. The problem is that if I'm reading this guide.......which one would ASSume to be correct as it's a stickied post in the WS forum lol........properly there are no heavy weapons that I can use until training at least one box in a heavy weapons xp requiring branch. So my question is, how the heck do I get heavy weapons xp to train that first box to get the cert needed to use a heavy weapon of some sort toGET heavy weaps xp? Or is this nice stickied WS forum post missing something?

You are certified for the LP(launcher pistol) at novice commando. damage sucks, but it gives HW xp.

Yeah, also look at the first part of the commando guide 3.0 (the technical guide), that has the basic xp breakdown, certifications, specials, mods, etc for the entire profession.

Was afraid you guys were gonna say LP. I knew it was a cert but of course when I see a pistol weapon I think pistol xp. Well, grinding in a group with my guild will make the damage a non issue but if I wanted to run off on my own guess I won't be killing much of anything till I get a better weapon lol. I did already check that guide but of course like I said I was thinking pistol=pistol xp and so of course also couldn't figure out why commando would get a pistol cert but I guess it's obvious now that I look at it lol. Thanks for the info though.

Unlearn what you have learned.
All our old consumables turned non-consumables (RL, HPBC, LBC, ASL) are listed as Rifles, the LP is listed as pistol. All take HW mods, all give HW xp. Thats another thing thats broken in commando...we don't have a unified weapon catagory...
Anyways, if it reads "Needs xx Commando skill" it takes our mods and gives our xp, otherwise it would be like having a T-21 certed to Master Carbineer...
And with the LP, it has been giving HW xp for 2 years (just about) now...for 2 months after launch it gave Pistol xp by mistake, and still gave that xp when you used pistol whip with it.
