Something that I would love to see covered is the ballistic shield, especially on the bot front. No better panic button than putting it on your back and running :3
Ballistic shield has been super useful in my experience. Nothing feels as powerful as tanking through a hail of bullets while popping bot heads with a one-handed weapon.
It's like EATs, but you can carry the whole payload at once. The only thing I could ask for is a little shorter cooldown. Or a Ship Module for cushier shoulder slings so Helldivers can carry two EATs at once. Or both. Both is good.
it's cooldown is already insanly low, as long as your loadout is buitl the handl chaff and mediums the only reaso nyou need your commando is for anti tank and hard point objectives. then you will never not have commando available.
@@wolflance64 I agree, there isn't much to complain about with the Commando as it is. I was just trying to think of anything I could even wishlist for it.
My go to comfy build for super helldive bots. commando supply pack anti-tank emplacement rocket sentry thermite grenades senator scorcher light armor siege ready. pro tip - just mow everything down before it shoots you and you dont need explosive resist or heavy armor or a shield pack.
@TheGundamBoi it's like throwing a Airstrike or 500 KG in a fun loadout because in the back of your mind, you know that there will come a day when somebody groans that you not being useful enough.
I don't think I've ever been kicked for something like that. But i guess it's hard to really tell unless they say something in chat. My normal bot loadout is the constitution, verdict and thermites. followed by no red strats. Normally just railgun, supply pack, mg turret, and the new mounted cannon thing I'm currently forgetting the came of. Maybe I've just been really lucky in pubs but it seems to be a positive experience most of the time
Commando is more fitting on the run, any other rocket launcher will keep you sitting to reload it and sacrifice the backpack space for a pretty jumppack. The only issue is you’ll need to aim more carefully as a Hulk shrugging off the missile could spell doom if you aren’t careful
Honestly the commando is my go to if my grp already has armor pen and explosive options. It would be cool if it had 2 reg missiles loaded and 2 napalm. Or a mechanic to choose between conventional HE, Napalm, and EMP. Maximum versatility
Nah, its subjective, of course. but I prefer recoiless with backpack. Yeah, it's not expendable, eats a back slot and requires reloading. But at the same time, it packs the highest punch of all rocket launchers, ensuring one shots for all armored most of the time, and is better at controlling the troop ships. Also don't know why, but despite a ton of possible problems on the battlefield, I really enjoy wasp and spear launchers. Just the love for high tech, I guess :)
I love the Autocannon and the WASP, but I'm always looking for new ways to improve. Shriekers are never a problem for me because I run the StA-52, and it's great at mowing down ground and air hordes, so I have no use for the Recoilless Rifle. However, I need something more anti-tank, something easily replaceable like the Expendable Anti-Tank. I have run only into a couple of players who used the Commando, and every time it felt like a beast. After this video, I think it's time to give it a shot.
A lot of unappreciated weapons in helldivers 2. Sad part of it is even with the current loadout variety, the thing people like most about a lot of the guns is nothing to do with the buffs they actually got. People think it was part of the buff, but it was already there to begin with and nobody just gave it a chance until Arrowhead made the number bigger. The buffs are great, it makes killing everything easier. But if you ever used the Airburst, scythe or concussive liberator seriously, then you probably know what I'm referring to when I say the stats aren't everything.
I've found that the commando is worse at hitting smaller, moving weakpoints (harvester joints, bile titan heads) at longer ranges than the RR or EAT. The slow projectile speed and laser aiming mean small twitches can throw off the missile massively the farther it gets from you. The lack of bullet drop is great for hitting the cannon and mini turrets at range though since there's no chance of hitting the pillar.
Love this stratagem, but i never pick it because of its cooldown, when i need it badly it's still there, on cooldown. I'd say they should reduce it down to the same as the EAT-17
flame sentry, would be very cool as a video. wait. actually, how about a breakdown of all the sentries? not a lot of those on youtube, especially after the buffs. I use em all the time and they are much better.
1 point to mention is the call down cool down vs EATs it 140 to call down 2x 2 EATs vs 120 sec cool down for commando which has 4 rockets, just wish it went back to being able to one shot fabricators
The commando should get incendiary rockets as a programmable switch (or maybe if customization comes around) to be more like the M202 Flash which it's based off of.
Millions must spray (Also I NEED you to atleast try the dog breath guard dog with the spray and pray, and bring anti tanks for chargers. It shreds chaff PLEASE bro I’m begging
Oh no you can one shot it, you just need the side armor exposed before hand. Either have a teammate pop its side open then fire your rocket at the heart of the machine to kill it in sorta 1 shot? Not sure how he did it.
The commando is for nerds, I like my democracy as cold as steel and as destructive as a 500kg bomb. Recoils rifle is the best rocket and out right best stratagem in our load outs.

oh hey a pin. i didn't mean for this to be offensive in any way I just thought it was funny that it was like that
FINALLY SOMEONE SAW IT!
Something that I would love to see covered is the ballistic shield, especially on the bot front. No better panic button than putting it on your back and running :3
Noted! And will do!
They need to buff it again, its become much less useful
Ballistic Shield/Crossbow.... My beloved...
@@reservoirfrogs2177 Short call-in time it has actually makes it pretty useful. Gotta think of it as the EAT of the shields :3
Ballistic shield has been super useful in my experience. Nothing feels as powerful as tanking through a hail of bullets while popping bot heads with a one-handed weapon.
I would LOVE a napalm variant as a nod to the the commando's original design.
That’s a wicked idea.
The commando is like the EAT when you're really hungry. It's the DINE.
if Viper Commandos were released today the Commando would be a warbond exclusive strategem
6:28 "...be sure to have another commando lying around to swap to a _*good weapon*_."
bro really had to do commando like that
More a jab at the spray and pray
It's like EATs, but you can carry the whole payload at once. The only thing I could ask for is a little shorter cooldown.
Or a Ship Module for cushier shoulder slings so Helldivers can carry two EATs at once.
Or both. Both is good.
I use Commando for Squids, Eat for Clankers, work like a charm for me
it's cooldown is already insanly low, as long as your loadout is buitl the handl chaff and mediums the only reaso nyou need your commando is for anti tank and hard point objectives. then you will never not have commando available.
@@wolflance64 I agree, there isn't much to complain about with the Commando as it is. I was just trying to think of anything I could even wishlist for it.
My go to comfy build for super helldive bots.
commando
supply pack
anti-tank emplacement
rocket sentry
thermite grenades
senator
scorcher
light armor siege ready.
pro tip - just mow everything down before it shoots you and you dont need explosive resist or heavy armor or a shield pack.
Commando+EAT is actually pretty good on higher difficulties.
why on super earth would I attempt to eat the commando?
@@Icewallowcome012 If you squint hard enough, they look like crayons.
@@sanicswaghog5278 Mmm crayons... i love the red ones
@@Icewallowcome012does this hurt the Commando?
You are very underrated! Keep up the great work man
how does this guy only have 2k subs? peak content subbing immediately
The Commando: your running a meme loadout and you _really_ dont want to get kicked for "throwing"
Exactly

commando is by far my favorite weapon its just so good
Dont ingore the S&P man, embrace the duck tail spread.
It's still a bad gun, sorry.
@@JimJamTheAdminnuh uh
The best shotgun
4:39 if you dump the commando into the eye of the Factory Strider, you can kill it quicker.

the hate on the spray and pray is so uncalled for bro 💀
Really really great video
Could you do one on the different mines? I feel like ppl don't use it that much despite its effectiveness

Spear does a good bit more dmg.
But it's spear

amount of times is sneeze and miss a shot with the command makes me mad
i like the commando but i really wish we had a backpack variant...
"i can fix them."
Against the impalers, focus on one leg and it will fall really easily without waiting for it to deploy it's tentacles.
Break Action Shotgun or bust!
...but yeah I love Commando
It's genuinely the best thing for Illuminate Harvesters, nothing else is economic enough to deal with the shields in time
Eruptor one shots the shield.
You can whip the rocket into the warp ship doors on the ground if you’re not looking at the door head on.
i never go a misisons wihtout it, commando+ guard dog+precision strike is my answer to everything ,4th slot is whatever ineed for that mission
👍
Love this stratagem, but i never pick it because of its cooldown, when i need it badly it's still there, on cooldown. I'd say they should reduce it down to the same as the EAT-17
Nah, it's a EAT with guided missiles and the ability to carry the whole payload at once, it should very much NOT be the same cooldown.
@@tezereth the whole payload but if you miss (which can and will happen) your damage will be cut in half.
@@Doc.BlackWolf Same applies with the EATs, love em but I had some pretty embarrassing miss with them and each missed shot is more problematic
flame sentry, would be very cool as a video. wait. actually, how about a breakdown of all the sentries? not a lot of those on youtube, especially after the buffs. I use em all the time and they are much better.
1 point to mention is the call down cool down vs EATs it 140 to call down 2x 2 EATs vs 120 sec cool down for commando which has 4 rockets, just wish it went back to being able to one shot fabricators
Except the commando does half the damage. So you can only kill 2 chargers or bile titans. Same as the EAT
Can you do jump pack and what are some cool combos tactics that can be used with it?
The commando should get incendiary rockets as a programmable switch (or maybe if customization comes around) to be more like the M202 Flash which it's based off of.
ingores gravity
Nice
I will not tolerate these levels of sprynpry disrespect
Millions must spray
(Also I NEED you to atleast try the dog breath guard dog with the spray and pray, and bring anti tanks for chargers. It shreds chaff PLEASE bro I’m begging
Maybe I will
0:59 Ingores....
On bot front I carry both eat and commando
Commando can also 1 shot the heat vent at the back of the hulk
2:30
I take commando when I want to play with some funny weapon I find on the ground or, let's say, borrow one from a teammate
Hey, is commando can not one shot any side of Automaton factory anymore? I watch Eravin and I see commando can 1 shot any side of Automaton factory.
Oh no you can one shot it, you just need the side armor exposed before hand. Either have a teammate pop its side open then fire your rocket at the heart of the machine to kill it in sorta 1 shot? Not sure how he did it.
@ I mean about Automaton Factory base not that Factory strider 4 leg.
SnP is great against bugs and squids tho

Recoiless is not so good in solo play, Commando shines in highly mobile functions.
How about the Liberator Penetrator? Brst auto rifle in the game
INGORES gravity.
