Commando Archive

I will be getting commando today. (5kmore unarmed xps to go WOOHOO) I have some questions if anyone can answer them.

From reading over that guide, it seems that launcher pisol is the only way to get inital xps, and that the only other weapon worth having is a flame thrower.Launcher pistol stats doesnt seem to be very good. Is getting to the point of being able to effectively use the FT going to be anotherboring grind like unarmed was?

What are the plans for the acid rifle? It seems absurd for it to be called a rifle when it has the same range as the FT.Are there any plans on making it function more like a rifle or at least a carbine?

Is the advice from that guide the way we need to go about getting xps? Using LP until the 3rd skill is trained in FT. Then use FT exclusivly? I should have looked into commando a wee bit more. It looks like the FT is the only weapon worth having. I somehow got under the impression that there commandos have a nice variety of weapons to choose from. Rather than the same old red bolts that come from the other rangedclasses. Maybe I didnt realize how many of them were consumable. Just so I have this straight.. The only non consumable weapons that we have to choose from is the FT, launcher pistol, and the useless acid rifle? (what is the acid rifle called my weaponsmith buddy couldnt find a schmatic for "acid rifle")

Thanks

The guide is correct.

Flamer and LP are currently the only viable non consumable weapons we have. The accuracy and speed mods gained in the tree do not work. I believe this is due to the fact that they had to do a quick fix on the cert "cert acid beam rifle" and they forgot to change the mods and they're working off the old(and correctly named) Acid Rifle certification. Getting to 3rd Tier skill level can be seen as a grind I suppose, but I never saw it that way-then again my heavy weapons didn't work for **edit** when I hit tier 3's.

I do use my HAR though. Only after Flame DoTing something that is vulnerable to acid only do I pull out my HAR just for S-n-G's( I love shooting upward pointing sticks at things...). I also use it for lair busting.
