Commando Archive

Yah..I have had this idea floating around in my head for a while about a fix for commando..Seeing that all of our weapons have to be at 0.0 ideal range, which needs to be fixed, before they can work why not grant us commandos the vibroknuckler certification? I mean we have to go through the entire unarmed tree before we can get commando and none of our commando stuff can help our unarmed ability. This would fix a couple of things like we would actually be able to stand up to NPC's who rushed us. I mean we could actually get one shot off with our master gnort slaying flamethrowers and then when we got rushed we could finish the job. IM NOT SAYING THIS SHOULD BE THE PERMA FIX FOR OUR SUCKY WEAPONS... It would just make our profession a little more tougher than what we are now..and who knows we might actually be able to solo ikopi's...

Very good idea, especially since we have to trudge through all that unarmed and combat xp, I would say it would be great, even if we didn't get specials or even accuracy/speed mods.

thank god i got my novice commando long ago when i could equip these babies without TKA!

I wouldn't mind having the certification, but I still wouldn't use the VK even if we could. They do not give heavy weapon xp so, at least for me,it would be pointless to use it as it would in no way help me advance my "skills," and I use that term loosely. I'll just stick with my launcher pistol. Besides, even with the changes, the flamethrower and acid rifle will never be my primary weapon the way things will stand because we will still get messed over due to the massive waiting time after using specials. At least for now, it looks like the only weapon worth having will be the Launcher Pistol and possibly some of the "Heavy" weapons if they get those working even remotely like they should be.

Not to rain on your parade, but you don't need a cert to use the VK.

not to rain on YOUR parade....look at novice TKA - they made VB's TKA only during the patch

lol bigwook, where have you been, under a rock? VK are now a cert for TKA. Luckily in my quest to get 40k combat XP, I took up TK. Figured I could use the combat XP from TK, and use the unarmed XP from TK to both of my advantages. So I can use it already.
