This guide is to serve as a generic overview of what the profession has to offer. I won't be discussing specific builds, but may comment how to utilize certain combo actions. You can build a template here.
"Delta Squad, lock and load!" - RC-1138 "Boss"
Commando is one of 9 professions available to players (including Jedi unlock) and has a variety of tools to get the job done. A master of this profession receives the highest amount of ranged & melee defense out of all of them at 30 points each making it a great baseline for many builds.
[Trainer Locations]
There is 3 cost effective ways to level commando without using their pricey consumable grenades or special heavy weapons.
1. Launcher Pistol - Recommended for those that are also Pistoleer, this weapon is the only one with access to the blast damage type outside of Rocket Launcher.
