What equipment would be best for a Commando?
Ammo hives would naturally be good to supply the CR and swarms with ammo (cover up their weaknesses of bursting out so many rounds/few carried rounds).
What about REs? Would you gimp your ammo pool then?

Because the Commando works in a sort of area-of-denial/perimeter patrol style, I tend to stick with the active scanner. I used to run it with a Wirkykomi triage hive which made the suit very good at defense, but it was getting very costly.

If you are planning on running swarm launchers, a nanohive is practically a requirement.

CR eats ammo like a beast too... one should probably start out with hives then. :) Nanocircuitry is one of the most usefull equipment skills since you get reps, ammo supply and needles from it. X-3 Nanohive resupplies ammo very fast, for a lower fitting cost as well.

Caldari/Amarr commando could be nice as well. But Minmatar seems more like a swiss army knife to me (this is why I want to spec into commando).

Also this: https://twitter.com/KAGEHOSHI1/status/403355648177360896/photo/1

Looks like a fat awesome terminator. How can anyone resist that?

Check out post #288 on page 15, what do you think about those proto fits I came up with for each race?

That Minmatar heavy definitely looks pretty cool, but the Gallente heavy probably looks the scariest.

As for your question, I imagine their weakness will still be pretty much the same weakness as it is currently, CQC and enclosed areas. Commandos are slow like Sentinels but don't have nearly the same EHP. This results in them going down pretty fast in these situations. particularly in the Gallente Research Facility the Commando has many challenges. The Commando also suffers in one-on-one combat, but I'm not too sure how this will change with the new racial bonuses. Ideally, the Commando thrives in open areas within clusters of players as it is able to reload through ammunition quickly and pick the proper weapon to engage the many enemies on a more individual basis, if that makes sense. A map that works great in the Commando's strengths is Manus Peak. ARC Commander CPM Info and Q&A - Status: Open

I will be able to knive you guys with impunity. Also, the the gist of the suit seems to be "Mid-Long range Area Denial' due to their ability to quickly put rounds downrange and always use the best weapon for the situation. Combine this with the damage buffs, and I see these guys being able to pin down groups trying to move between objectives. Maybe LAV's will get some more use lol. However, I do see a scout being able to circumvent this with a cloak. If you can get point blank, Commando's will be done for. I feel a rivalry being made here. Badger vs. Snake. Tiger vs. Lion. Scout vs. Commando. Nothing says "F**K YOU!" like a direct Flaylock to the face. Minmatar. In Rust we trust.

Spectral Clone Dust2Dust. Top Men. 1061	Posted - 2014.01.21 08:48:00 - [347] - Quote Anyone planning to go minmatar commando with CR and Swarms? Seems like the best configuration to me. Fastest speed, fast reload speed good for both CR and swarms, DMG bonus to both AV and Infantry weapon (CR is very very good mid/short range, where you will be most of the time). CR has low fitting costs, which is awesome (commando bit gimped on those stats TBH). What equipment would be best for a Commando? Ammo hives would naturally be good to supply the CR and swarms with ammo (cover up their weaknesses of bursting out so many rounds/few carried rounds). What about REs? Would you gimp your ammo pool then?

That Minmatar heavy definitely looks pretty cool, but the Gallente heavy probably looks the scariest. Good fits, mainly based around the scanner, but I like em! Kind of sad most fits can only use advanced weaponry. But with Proficiency 4, theres not a big diff between them in practice I guess.
