All of your answers are here.

Ok I'm gonna try to answer this to the best of my experience. been a commando for two months and have combined multiple professions to augment it. Ok here goes.

Answer to question one. Pick up a weapon for each skill tier, carbine, rifle, pistol, and a vibro knuckle to. go to Anchorhead on tatooine, covert if allied with a faction, and kill gorgs, dwarf nunas, and diseased bocatts. the missions are real close 500m to 1000m out and there is no rivers to bar your way and the area is pretty flat so the runs will be easy. as you gain new skills upgrade to the new guns. best ones are the laser carbine, FGWs, and laser rifle. once you are done mastering marksman go to dant with your grual and have him tanks the heurtons while you pop them with whatever prefered weapon is for the combat exp. As for unarmed equip the vibro knuckle. you get the speed modifier even if you don't get the damage mod. pick up medic and some first aid skill for a bit so you can tank your self. just de beserk and swing away better dmage then any move you will ever do unarmed.

Answer to question two. keep killing those heurtons with the launcher pistol until you get flame cone one, then kill them with that.

Answer to question three. not sure on this one. I have owned one flamethrower my entire commando career named the zippo. talk to some commandos in game to find this one out.

Answer to question four. not really. you can go pick up some particle cannons and use then in their ideal range while your grual tanks some buff creatures and shoot um to death for 3k exp a pop. most heurtons will die in one shot making exp gaining quick and giving you something else to do other then flaming them to death. beyond that your set, just need to grind the exp.

1. Get a pair of Vibro Knucklers sliced for spd <2 ie 1.7, Get decent CDEF weapons (Rifle, Pistol, Carbine) for the first 1000 xp. Then get a decent DLT20a Rifle, DL44 Pistol, DH17 Short Carbine for the next 5000xp in each. Then get the best Laser Rifle and Scout Blaster you can find. Mine were 60s-350s 3.8 Rifle and 130s-210s 1.6 Scout. These will take you through Rifle and Pistol 4. Then get a Laser carbine at Carb 3 and it will be used the rest of the way as well. Although you dont have a cert for the knucklers use them when you do your unarmed.

Have you Graul tank while you use your weapons. I would suggest Theed Naboo or Bestine Tatooine for Marksman 3/3/3/- and unarmed 2 as you will level those fast and you want to have a trainer nearby.

Then travel to Yavin IV and let your pet tank and kill everything. My favorite are Klikniks, but everything gives good xp on Yavin.

Once you have your marksman 4/4/4/- and Unarmed 4, use c12 grenades to get any combat xp you failed to get.

Train novice commando.

2. Yavin IV is my favorite xp hunting ground. I get 30k or more xp per lair and get 13k for each mission. and the spawn is heavy enough to get tons of xp without having to take missions.

3. 400s - 800s 4 secs 77/18/18 Ham costs, then have it sliced. The best flame I saw was 548 - 1240 4.1 with a damage slice and it was a Krayt.

Using your FT will get you through 3 of the 4 commando trees rather quickly. Field Tactics uses combat xp. I found using crates of grenades works wonders. I would Flame Cone 1 multiple targets on my pet or FS2 a single target then grenade it till it died and grenade the layer. This way I was getting 2-3k of combat xp per kill.

Good Luck to you,

Also you might want to keep some CH

I use:

Master Commando

CH 4/4/0/0

Works great.

have been soloing on dath,

get buffed, load up your rocket launcher and flamethrower, i have made 1030 in about 1 day of straight killing, few short stops to go get trained.

brackasets are great, low to med resist and wow, how many brackaset burgers did you want again?

go to rori and get Tattered Torton missions. They give you 900-1000xp per Torton. Not as much as other animals.... BUT they only have 1500 hp's and take only 1 shot to kill. Each lair will give you 7-8 Tortons.

The missions are only 500-700 meters outside of the Rebel Outpost. They pay out about 2800-2900 credits. Each mission wil take about 2 minutes to complete.
