My advice? For all of you MUL-T mains out there, forget this update even happened. Hopefully, you have a Rebar since MUL-T’s Auto-Nailgun kinda sucks at dealing with air units as well. With his saw, he literally can’t do damage to it and will need to retool to deal with it. To be fair, the problem I have with both of MUL-T’s new skills is the fact his old loadout is far superior, the Auto-Nailgun for most situations and the Rebar for sniping far away enemies like wisps.Ĭonsider situations like running into a flying enemy (which you will in Risk of Wisps 2). He doesn’t need the AOE damage it provides and the fact that it has four charges doesn’t help either. The Scrap Launcher serves next to no purpose on MUL-T. Sure, it supposedly does 1000% damage, but that doesn’t make up for the fact that once you get into melee range of anything, and I mean anything, it is going to give your silly little robot head a whack. The new loadout for MUL-T, the saw blade, makes MUL-T a melee character with none of the benefits. Sadly, this update did nothing to help him, in fact, it kinda made him weaker. MUL-T is a good character and has been for a while now. (Just put it on Drizzle and do the teleporter immediately).

To unlock the Commando’s Tactical Slide, you need to clear the first stage in less than 5 minutes. To unlock the Commando’s Frag Grenade, you need to clear 20 stages as the Commando without picking up a lunar item. To unlock the Commando’s Phase Blast you will need to land the killing blow on an overloading worm. Get the new Tactical Slide and use that for higher DPS potential. Whether you want to switch between the new special or the old is mainly personal preference and or playstyle differences. To shorten things up, get the new secondary Phase Blast. Also, if you use the ability while jumping you get a slight boost in the air instead of sliding, making some terrain traversable. Secondly, Tactical Slide can be improved with move speed, which Tactical Dive cannot. First, you can shoot while sliding, meaning more DPS. There are two things that make this superior to Tactical Dive (the OG). When you press shift (or whatever button you use) you will slide forward. Tactical Slide replaces his old combat roll with something you see out of a Call of Duty. Tactical SlideĪs of the new Artifact update, the Commando has also received a new utility skill.

However, if you feel like you are lacking AOE damage as the Commando, then I would recommend the Frag Grenade. The stun it provides and the scaling factor makes it a whole lot better in my opinion. Instead, it is an entirely new ability that caters to a different playstyle which is how I prefer these loadouts to be.įor the most part, I would go with his old special.

The Frag Grenade is not a direct upgrade to the Commando’s previous special. Other than a new secondary, the Commando also got a new special ability, Frag Grenade. The only negative repercussions being a decreased proc coefficient per shot (but it shoots eight so it should proc more) and the fact it can’t travel through the terrain, a largely irrelevant factor. His new ability Phase Blast is basically just an upgrade over his old ability Phase Round. However, the skills 2.0 update has given the Commando some new life. This is something more or less expected, as he is the “vanilla” survivor in Risk of Rain 2 and serves as a starting point for all new players. He couldn’t do good AOE damage or single target damage to literally save his life. To say the Commando sucked at everything is pretty fair.
