Im about to train another commando on a different server (yeah I know......), When I last did it, it was with a LP and a pack of levisqualls, so whats the current thinking on the grind?


Just use a flamer/LP with marksman specials?


or


Pick up some pistol specials, either from the smuggler tree (last ditch) or the pistoleer tree (stopping shot) and use that til I get flamer 4?


Thanks

If you are trying to use the LP & pistoleer skills to get heavy weapon xp-good luck. I tried using the LP with pistoleer skills...I got pistol xp instead of heavy weapon xp. I've dropped pistoleer since then, so I don't know if it was a bug or what.

I'm a big fan of the BH Pistols specials, Torsoshot and Eyeshot. Both are Single bar hitters meaning no damage is wasted on other pools. Fast and Efficient killing.

I am a fan of body shot 3 (or health shot 2). Use the LP, it is faster than the flame thrower in my expereince. The one above was incorrect about the pistol expereince. In the past, you would get both pistol and heavy weapon expereince from the launcher pistol. now it is just heavy weapon expereince (with the exception of pistol melee defense 1 and 2, which also give small bits of pistol expereince still).


The deciding factor really, is what is faster. I mastered (or at least trained the speed mods of pistols) pistoleer prior to working on commando. So for me the launcher is my choice.

get the dirty fighting tree and use last ditch u also get a cool knock down via lowblow and also get feign death which is a uber life saver.
