Commando Archive

I am almost a novice commando that wants to use the acid gun.
75k unarmed, 50k rifles 70k carbines left.

I have pistoleer 0,1,3,3 so I should have fun with the launcher pistol when I get novice. I also have 80k combat xp and max apprentice points so I just need the weapons xp.

I understand how to get xp for guns at a good rate of speed but am finding unarmed slow and boring. Does anyone else not like unarmed.

I have a kryat launcher pistol being made this weekend for me and I hope to get the xp for rifles and carbines today and make a dent in the unarmed. I just need to resist the urge to use the pistol when doing unarmed.

Anyone have 20 million credits to donate so I can purchase the FP to train the skills lol. I hope to be fighting along side you as soon as I finish the xp

Congratulations and welcome...almost....

Pistoleer is going to actually be a huge help in your unarmed trek...and make sure you have a good pair of fast VK's...sliced....

When you attack any bigger game (kaduu's, dewbacks, etc.), hit your target with /healthshot2, and maybe healthshot1....then quickly equip the VK's (before you fire another pistol shot) and get up close...if you do it fast enough, you'll enjoy the bleed and get 100% full unarmed xp...Don't worry about the VK penalty msg...the spd of the VK's will do more damage to the beast then without them...I sailed through Unarmed (70K in one day) using this method...

Another tip...group!!!! Even if you just group with a pet or a droid and leave them somewhere safe, you'll get a xp bonus on all your kills. Unarmed really isn't as hard as it seems...

BTW...you'll want to use your LP mostly (for heavy weapon xp) until you get to around Flame3...before that you'll suck on accuracy on any other Commando Weapon...and yes, the LP works great with Pistoleer specials....

Welcome to the madness...

You don't want to use the heavy acid rifle, it just plain sucks. It has no DoT, fires slowly, has cr*ppy graphics, and does less dam and has a higher HAM cost than the FT. Only get the HAR if you are going for master, and get that xp after you've gone up the FT tree.

garvin I thought by the time you can use vibroknuckles, you don't need to do unarmed any more.

I made it to commmando, I did 70 rifles, 70k carbines one day and did 70k unarmed the next day, the vibroknuckles made that branch go fast. Though the critters on Endor hate me now I picked up my first launcher pistol and flamethrower. Stats on launcher 60ish-280ish damage with 2.4 attack speed and with a powerup I get a 1.5 speed gun I make lots of noise when attacking. My flamethrower is 4.6 speed 400ish-900ish damage. I start combat at 64m with the flame and pray for a good 4500 damage shot, then switch to my LP to finish it off. I find it fun to use pointblankarea 1 on mobs, causes some great lag and makes members of a group really angry So far I have 115k HW XP and trying to get flame1. I own a 4.1 speed acid gun as well Well I hope to advance to flame 1 tonight. I noticed I have to get missions unarmed because I can not quite take on 4 stormtroopers with 8000 ham each yet though pulling an at-st mission was funny.

i just dumped BH to go commando and had the same prob. no unarmed. HEARS WHAT YOU DO

Set you char. up in a meatlumpor cook gang spawn areas but make sure you have Neg. facation.

as the gangs spawn they will attack you and you can goAFK while you collect unarmed point 70 -90 points a kill.

It takes awhile but you get points while you take care of RL things that need to get done. I completed unarmed 3 and 4 in 24 hours and i only checked up on my char. four times to heal mind, battle fatige and health.

give it a try.
