So..I started Commando this morning, got my new 'heavy' weapon - Acid Rifle. Pretty much every time I used it today, I got 'you were too close to the..', 'you are blinded'. OK, so I am now a noob, do all Commando weapons affect their users this way? Is there a 'perfect' distance I need to keep? Wow...

if you are just starting out as a commando id use the launcher pistol but becarefull since it has a aoe and you will piss off a bunch of npcs close together with it . I have never tried out the acid rifle so i cant give advice on it. hope that helps . if not sorry

Yeah, level up with the Launcher for a while. It does have an AoE, but as I recall, it's only six meters. You'd have to check that.

The AoE on the launcher pistol is very minimal indeed. I believe you are correct, Eleutherios, in saying that it is six meters. I would also recommend leveling up with the Launcher pistol. I still use mine occasionally. Once you progress up the commando chains, experiment with other weapons. I've grown to like using the various cannons and rocket launcher that we get. I prefer the Light Lightning Cannon and the Heavy Particle Beam Cannon myself.

But, to answer your question, to level up, definitely go with the Launcher pistol to get combat xp.

Avoid the Acid Rifle...its really not worth it. Level up with a Launcher Pistol until you can use the Rocket Launcher and Lightning Cannon.

I think it's bugged where it blinds you at any range right now.

Kinda funny how it's managed to consistently stay useless one way or another...

whats also funny can be found in the prima guide book (they haven't updated the commando section since the game came out) where they describe the acid rifle as our most powerful weapon. Powerful my big wookiee butt...I walk around with an acid rifle for looks.

I acdtually liked the Acid Rifle as it didn't seem to agro other creatures while I was using it. However, I was permanenly blind whilst using it and I didn't really like the visuals with it.

The only issue I have with the L Pistol, is the smike it creates. I've had alot of fellow groupers (esp Melee)complain that they can't see what they are hitting when I use the LP. However, I can't see what I'm hitting when some CH pulls a Krayt Dragon out in combat so I guess its all fair.

the only real use for a launcher pistol at master is in large scale PvP.
