DUST Search - Found a good Commando fit

Yes, believe it or not. Had the Commando from the beginning, realized it was terrible, then only occasionally went back to it to try something new and realize it still is terrible, but not today! My urge kicked in again and I found something somewhat decent.

Commando A/1-Series
ELM-7 Laser Rifle
CRD-9 Assault Scrambler Rifle
Enhanced Shield Extender
Enhanced Armor Plate
Compact Nanohive

337 Shield
424 Armor
I also have Shield Upgrades, Armor Upgrades, and Biotics at Level 4

Figured the work part of the Commando is only 1 low slot, which traditionally thinking has to go to a armor repper. Well decided to put the reps in the hive so I can use that slot for a plate, and man it's a world of difference! Laser rifle is great for taking out anyone at distance, as usual, and the assault scrambler rifle provides excellent mid-close range firepower. Also since it has a large clip than the AR, it means you can constantly fire for a longer time then take advantage of that quick reload speed of the Commando and get right back at it, and then if someone gets too close there's the 240 melee damage. Works much better if you have a logi, but you don't necessarily need one.

I'm almost doing as well as with my Amarr Assault. Almost. Need to get the advanced triage hives so I can carry more than one with me.

You only missing the one that TRULY works ; Mass Driver + Assault Rifle. Well actually, the ASCR + Mass Driver works better. Dont take it wrong i'll explain. The AR is obviously a superior weapon compared to the ASCR. Even if the ASCR has more damage, the dispersion rate and optimal ranges actually benefit the AR more. We agree. But the ASCR + Mass combination covers each others weaknesses. The ASCR with 120% vs Shields The MASS with 120% vs Armor At CQ, the ASCR + Mass combination is MORE effective than any other, with constant 120% damage vs enemies, high Damage and area denial options.... For longer ranges , the TAC+AR combination will do you best. Areor said: ''The Commando is a support suit, not an assault suit.'' This is true, you should see how much you can do for your team with appropiate height, a sNiper rifle and a Swarm Launcher (My favored Commando fit) In the MAp with 3 objectives i can negate the enemy from taking ''A'' All game while spamming their vehicles with my swarms.... 1 Commando suit, f@cking up a whole team. It almost feels OP. (just kidding on this one...)
