      That's slightly more than half damage makes most of the break points. Only two shots against almost every heavy Target for the commando.
      This includes:
      Two shotting tanks
      Two shotting turrets
      One shotting hulks in the face
      Hitting fabricators and bug holes in any direction
      Two shotting regular Chargers to the face
      Two shotting behemoth Chargers to the face
      Two shotting bile Titan to the face
      Considering the EAT has similar break points to most of these enemies, doesn't make the eat obsolete per se, but the commando definitely has a more mobile playstyle considering it can carry around 2 heavy/tank kills with one pickup.

    Regarding bug holes, you dont actiully have to hit inside the hole, you just need to hit the bug hole itself to destroy it with the commando.

    It's likely inconsistent against bile titans due to the current bug that it causing titans to sometimes take no damage when hit in the face. It's been listed under the known issues for the last several patches. Hopefully when that's fixed it'll be an easy 2 shot.

    Another massive advantage this has over the EAT is how fast the missiles come online. The EAT has a few seconds of prep before actually getting to fire it when you pick one up or take it off of your back.
    That and when you call in the EAT the second shot remains where you dropped it as opposed to coming with you like the Commando.

  • @hades2659

    The commando has high demolition so with the bug holes, you're probably still missing but doesn't matter. You can shoot to the side of a bug hole and you still destroy it. Same with factories. Also works the same with weak points (why it two shots bile titans and factory striders) so more damage if you're precise.

  • @cpgrillo1253

    If you pause the video at 10:24 and aim exactly where the missile is heading and before it hits aim to its head it’ll 2 shot it 80% of the time. The lower jaw is the weak spot so aiming for the bile sack and then aiming up will destroy it.

    The commando is more utilitarian than the disposeables. People do argue it can be battle as you're carrying roughly the same firepower. Though you do have to learn to double tap in quick succession with the commando such as against dropships or cannons. And with it's range it can be quite helpful dealing with outposts at range so you can keep proceeding to the objective. The cool down isn't really a problem as most of the time, your teammates will be dealing with the horde clearing whilst you can focus on the buildings or vehicles. Only time I've had to worry about cooldowns is when my teammates aren't pulling their weight and there's constant dropships.

  • @xxiSHTAr9000x
    @xxiSHTAr9000x 23 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    In my opinion, it really doesn’t phase out the EAT at all. Sure, it’s much more flexible, but with the EAT’s very short cooldown, you can just keep calling it down over, and over, having it be ready at the right time that you need it.
    You’re pretty much choosing based on preference at that point.

    7:31 It's actually only 3 to the same door on the belly. In your clip you shoot two at one door, hit the 3rd shot at the other door, then land the last shot on the first door you shot.

    6:24 And this is actually the best move they could do with this weapon.
    You know what is a role of EAT in the bot missions? Shoot down dropships, you can down two with one stratagem, what if players got suddenly a way to destroy 4 of them with one stratagem? EAT would be obselete... Yeas, EAT has shorter cooldown but you can still use it once per bot drop, so commando would be OP if it downed 4 dropships.

    • @felixnilsson2440
      @felixnilsson2440 23 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Shooting down a dropship is rarely a good idea. It only kills the tier one enemies, and it also gives the larger enemies cover on the ground. It's better too directly shoot the bots when they are hanging on racks in the dropship, or shoot them instantly when they deploy on the ground.

    • @joshfritz5345
      @joshfritz5345 23 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      It depends how high the dropship is when you shoot it. It doesn't kill all the enemies, but it does heavily damage them and make dealing with the rest easier.

    @SwanyPlaysGames would you rank it higher than the reworked Spear?
    You can get more shots off with the Commando quickly and with its shorter cooldown but there’s something to be said for the Spear locking on from distance.
    Weighing up the two is now proving a slight (but welcome) headache of choice.

    • @nekminnit
      @nekminnit 24 วันที่ผ่านมา +3

      Spear is great for gunships, as soon as its locked on and fired you know it'll take it down and can just move onto the next target before it's even connected. Guess there's a speed to fire vs damage trade off. Spear definitely hits harder but has to reload etc. That said you can also top it up with a resupply as well.

    • @losparanoia190

      ​@@nekminnitSpear is fantastic at long range support. I've helped teammates with fabricators, hulks, and gunships from halfway across the map with it. The Commando fits extremely well for closer range firepower. Faster RoF and shorter cooldown than the Spear while having guidance and more shots on demand to the EAT make it a competitive middle ground

    • @joshfritz5345
      @joshfritz5345 23 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Both have their place, the Spear is superb at taking down gunships and heavy units from a distance. The Commando doesn't have the endurance of the Spear, but its lack of a reload time and expendable nature means it's not as much of a waste to use against devastators and scout walkers. The Commando doesn't use a backpack slot which lets you take a backpack. Basically, the Commando is more versatile, while the Spear is more powerful as a dedicated anti-heavy unit weapon.

    TLDR: Eat good for old basic chargers, Commando is better every other way with more ammo and spawner closing, struggling only with gunships.
    For automatons, i found tanks getting hit in front 2 shots works as well, and hulks was 2 or 3 shots anywhere in case you don't have time to aim, beating out the 2 shots of eats. Gunships the 2 shots anywhere works too, and works and well for the odd factory but really struggles if a patrol of 6 shows up and for me loses out to spear or amr. Dropships 2 shots is comparable to one eat as each missile appears to do half damage i.e. destroying same dropship as eats, but yu can fire in quick succession and don't need to swap beating out eat for me. The main weakness is gunships, necessitating teammates to cover patrols.
    Biggest comparison for me though is bugs, eats would still be preferable for old bugs with 1 hit headshot chargers, but 2 needed for behemoths gives commando one up for needing 3 rockets with 1 to spare or crack armor with more to spare. Eat was good to share 1 with team, but without perfect accuracy on hulk eyes and with behemoth chargers or even bile titans head clipping into back on helldive bugs you now regularly use both or MORE, and commando doesn't need you to pick up another. If any shots miss or barely don't kill, you can dump 4 and your target is dead, not to mention spawners closing. As no rockets really work for groups and commando has 4 rockets that can close holes you free up your grenades for groups if really needed.

    @Nonameman0001 23 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Posted this elsewhere, but here it goes.
    Maybe not a popular take, but the cool down difference is not that big vs EATs, hence making this just better than getting EATs. Add to the fact that it can burst down targets quicker vs picking up an EAT, shooting, dropping, and getting another one and shooting as well.
    With the upgrades to the cool down, it's only 40 seconds longer.
    I suggest lengthening the CD to flat 2 mins with upgrades to differentiate better.

    I've often seen polls asking which is more difficult - the automaton hulk or the terminid titan, and I'm always surprised how many people call the hulks difficult. Considering how inconsistent titanium is in terms of its destruction (I still think this is due to its crooked model and the same hitboxes).

    Commando takes at least 2 shots to drop a Charger. So for bugs at least, EAT gets more use due to the quicker CD (as it can 1 shot chargers) It's an EAT for bots basically. Though honestly, I prefer Autocannon vs Bots or even Spear. Autocannon can deal with pretty much everything, meanwhile a Spear can take down heavy targets from long distance without the need for precision.

    • @felixnilsson2440

      You can carry enough EATs with you to kill one charger. You can carry enough Commandos to kill 2 chargers. Even if you miss a shot, the Commando is still coming out ahead vs. Chargers compared to the EAT. The EAT is only really better if you're defending a stationary position, then the higher per shot damage and quicker cooldown give it the edge.

    If they fix the hitbox on Titan's head, Commando will 2tap Titans every single time and not beeing situational. Yesterday on many missions I did some 2tap clean shots but it was like 2/6 titans went down (they didnt have any dmg from a teammate) from Commando. Most of the time it was a 3 shot which is totally fine if you ask me.
    S-Tier weapon, I just trashed my Quasar and I dont think i will bring it again on a mission.
    The only thing this weapon doesn't do good is the Sriekers mushrooms. Unless you have another one coming soon you don't want to soend 3 shots on a single mushroom.

  • @Smurffies
    @Smurffies 22 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Everything I'm seeing is the expendable is still better regardless because it takes one shot to kill chargers with this thing can take two to four and the cooldown is twice as long as the expendable. I think the new strat would be way better if the damage was slightly boosted or the cooldown was slightly reduced I think it would be completely on par with the expendable at that point. It's really fun to use I do enjoy that but I do feel like the damage is a little lackluster in the cooldown is a tad much. Also heard that it takes two rockets to shoot down a robot dropship which kind of sucks and I feel like more stress should be able to blow up the engines on those ships or more weapons that do explosive damage I find that peculiar. But I ran both the expendable and the commando whatever it's called they're both fairly fun to run at the same time. I was only on suicide so it wasn't too nuts

    Against bugs I like the EAT because I can call it in. Drop my main support weapon, use the EAT, then pick my main support back up immediately. I don't think I'll be using the Commando because it has 4 shots, meaning I will most likely need to be carrying it around to use it to its fullest leaving my main support behind. Plus with the EAT I can grab one, a teammate can grab one and we both have anti armor capabilities.
