Well since your a Master Marksman you should be well off.
Uh Rapid Fire or whatever it is good, does way more damage then Critical Shot, but is very Action costly and can't be used Prone.
Just to let you know I am a Master Commando/Master Marksmen.
Lethal Shot is very nice, great to alternate with another hard hitter. Aimed Shot is useful as the extra Accuracy for you next attack can boost your Damage. Also don't underestimate Firearm Strike. Especially when using something with an AoE you can knock down a lot of stuff.
If your ever in a pinch or about to reach Zero health, charge your opponent and hope it works. Never Spam it though. Wait like 15 seconds before you use again it, otherwise it will just fail to KD. Especially when you fail to KD the first time. If you fail your first hit with it, it's unlikely to work for awhile. Also something I learned is even after something gets up, there resistant to KD for awhile. Generally the silly circles should still be around, but effects are rather lousy these days.
You probably want to work on another Profession as it is very hard to level with our AoE weapons and lack of real Specials. Try to get Weapons with a real small radius of like 6M or less that way you probably won't get more then one thing coming after you if your on mission on your own.
Otherwise your gonna need to group up with a friend much better then you.
At this point I believe you can only use the Launcher Pistol.
I suggest you get a Rocket Launcher as that is slightly better and sometimes KDs and opponent. Though I forget which Tier 1 skill you need.

If you can only master 2 professions then i guess you cant drop UA or RS when you begin to run out of points then.

its so hard to find a weaponsmith that can create a rocket launcher. I'm still a bit confused on what kind of amor to use. I request battle (padded) armor but not sure if that's the best. Any suggestions as a commando?
