Commando Archive

As I do not play a commando and could find no relvant information via Search (that reflect current changes), I had a question.

Do commandos need to invest in the pistolleer line or is that a waste of points given recent changes?

Thanks in advance!

No, you don't *Have* to invest in pistol skills. You can though, and you can use these pistol skills with your launcher pistol still, but you don't *HAVE* to.

I for one find it far more effective to use carbines (for knockdown), Rifles (better ranged damage), or swords (protection/posture down from melee). Others might use different combos, but for me, I'd rather not use the launcher pistol and let my heavy weapons be my mid to short range workhorse.

If you want the LP(Lag Pistol) to be worth using, then yes, you have to go up a few pistoleer skill trees. Some chose not to use the LP at all and go a different route like Tera Kasi, Carbine..etc.

I've found the BH pistol line to be an excellent complement with the launcher pistol. Even though you'll have to master scout to get into BH, you get a staggering amount of accuracy and speed mods from just the four skill boxes in BH. Not to mention eyeshot and torso shot, both of which are very cool.
