MUL-T takes quite a bit more getting used to than Commando does, but repays this extra dedication with great survivability and damage potential over any distance. The active equipment is swapped by using Retool. Switches his primary fire between the rapid Auto-Nailgun and a piercing heavy-damage Rebar Puncher that deals 600% damage. Zoom forward, gaining 200 Armor, and additional speed. Suppressive Fire also has damage drop-off, but it also has a slight auto-aim about it, allowing you to hit targets even if you're not quite aiming on them. Your main attack has some significant damage drop-off over longer distances, so use Phase Rounds to deal good damage at long range. Stun Grenade is another great pickup for any character, and combined with Commando's Suppressive Fire you can very easily keep the majority of threats stunned and passive until you kill them.Ī couple more useful tidbits: Phase Rounds can travel through terrain, allowing you to deal damage while behind cover. Attack speed, critical hit chance, and on-hit items such as the Ukulele or Kjaro's Band should always be top priority. There are no bad choices here, but if you're just starting out, you should always focus on items that give you greater DPS over items that increase your survivability. Suppressive Fire should be used as often as possible for that extra boost in DPS, but its true power comes with the stun effect, which allows you to reliably interrupt dangerous attacks such as the Stone Golem's laser or the Beetle Guard's long-range strikes (for tonnes more info on all the different monsters in the game, have a read of our Risk of Rain 2 enemies when you get the chance).Īs far as item builds are concerned, Commando's versatility allows you to go in many different directions without too much trouble. In particular, you should intersperse your Double Taps with Phase Rounds, because each use of Phase Round will reset the bloom (read: accuracy) of your primary attacks. The low cooldowns of all Commando's abilities allows you to chain together your attacks very easily. Their skillset is impressively beginner-friendly, with three easy-to-use offensive skills on short cooldown, alongside the ever-useful Tactical Dive skill, which sounds like something footballers do a lot, but in this case allows you to roll out of the way of attacks or cross distances even faster than just sprinting.
