Hello Fellow commandos
I have what is prob a very stupid question. But I want to confirm what is a multi target weapon and what is not. It was my understanding that all of our weapons are except the knuckles and the proton rifle. With that said let me explain why im asking this question. I am a master commando (will be for life) buta friend of mine is a smuggler and would like to take some comando for the area effect weapons, so when they fix concussion shot he can mez many mobs at once.We thencan take them out one at a time. We think this would be very helpful in places like avatar station where there are just tons of mobs that swarm you.
First off is the launcher pistol area effect. I have not played with it since the CU because it has been certied for novice commando (though i wish they would make a high lvl one for master commando).
The rocket launcher seems to only hit one target not an area, Is this true, or have the others around my target just been to far away.
The acid streamer also only seems to hit one target but perhaps again my targets were to far from each other. Though it also always blindes me so its hard to make out whats going on =).
I know the plasma and flame thrower are AOE, but they have that nasty burn that will break the mez.
Thanks for the info

Not 100% on the weapons info. But I do have a couple things for you...
The burn will not break stopping shot or concussion.
On Avatar Station, a mez doesn't mean much since almost everything is ranged and shooting you.

Thanks for the feedback. It was my understanding that they are going to be changing concussion shot from the root that it is now to a mez (your target cant do any actions as long asthey dont take dmg for the duration of the mez). Which maybe useful, if we can stop a group of them from shooting (or taking any action) at us while we take them out one at a time. LIke I said, im commando,not a smuggler so IM really not sure about this. Just inquireing for a friend who wants to see if he can use commandos AOE, with the smugglers concussion shot when it gets changed to the mez.
Again thanks for

yes, it will work, I use the plasma flamethrower to apply any and all states. I've tested it with smuggler and using an area low blow helped a lot as it slows everythings attack speed -40.

I've played with Rocket Launchers a fair bit, and I believe that the AoE is working, or at least it works like the rest of our weapons (hits for 1 damage). It is pretty fun to use it on a gang of thugs and KD several at once.
For area mez with Smuggler once they change concussion shot, I'm thinking that rocket launcher or launcher pistol would be your best bet. LBC has a bit neater area effect, but there would be the problem of breaking the mez on the targets that catch on fire. I'm not sure that they will make that change, but I think there is a pretty good chance it will be like that.

I have been messing with this issue while insect hunting on Endor. So far, all the commando weapons I have used do some kind of AOE. However, certain weapons have larger radius than others. The smallest seems to be the HPBC so far.

Have you tried the launcher. Description says it has a radius of 6. I wasnt aware that it was an AOE weapon, Just wondered if anyone else has played with it.

Thanks guys for all the feedback guys. Thats why the commando forums are the best. It looks like you are correct, the launcher looks like it could be very usefull for mezing multiple targets. I will do more testing when concussion shot is changed and report here.
Again thanks again all.
