Feels there's no damage buff at all, doesn't have range in any weapon and it's too slow to survive anything, can't strafe well, even when it's not armor stacking. Can't do anything in CQC either unless against starter fits.
It's just a soft baloon that's too easy to hit. You'll do better with any assault suit or scout. |

the Gallente Commando is a beast of a suit, but Commandos in general are not worth running Proto since they only have 2 slots more than the standard. I trained the skill soley for the damage and reload.

Yeah, i think the bonus is good, but the saddest part is that you do better with non-gallente weapons. And yes wearing proto is a waste |

Well like I said it makes use of the Plasma Cannon very well if that's your thing. Shotguns are questionable on a suit so slow, which leaves you with the Assault Rifle which is rather UP right now. So I think it's more the AR being bad and not so much the Commando's bonuses.
As for slot layout, I'd love to actually use a proto suit and feel like a proto suit, but when a Proto Commando has the same number of slots as a Standard Logistics...

The Gallente Commando is a very niche suit for me.
I only bring it out for when I need AV power, but can't give up anti infantry power. That's about the only time I bring it out.

Yeah, commando in general is a pretty niche suit. I get pwned by scouts all the time, just not fast enough. But if you play it from the back/rear, it's a pretty deadly suit. Just gotta have squadmates willing to stick around to help watch your ass.

I still have 280 neo gk.0 from the event and I'm running commando very often. I find pairing the Gallente tech with another race to compensate for the drawbacks helps, the reload speed and damage buffs are amazing. I also love my watchdog fit with dual entities and rep hives. Fun for close quarters maps where I can camp a building like a cheeseball.
But seriously if you can shoot you can run the gcom.
Side note: shotties.. not entities.

Oh there are situations where I'll stick the ole' Dren Shotty on my Galmmando, but typically I run PLC + Exile

Only time I FEEL the damage bonus being added is the Plasma Cannon.
I enjoy running commando, but going from a Minmatar Scout to the Gallente Commando (Rep Tank) is a bit too much, sometimes. I wish they were a bit faster. Even with a CPX kincat, it's still too slow for me. |

Yeah you just have to remember that they're not an assault class. They're more like a rear-guard, providing support from the back of the group. I tend to prefer the slow brawler fits, but I can see how going from Scout to Commando can be tough.

I've tried this in the past, also rep tank. Thing is, it may have more armor than my assault, but it takes all hits because of its huge hitbox. Never going to be fast enough to be worth it the kincats, especially since they don't change strafing speed. The reps are not too good either, it's hard to take cover and rep being so big and slow.
I'm trying tho, i'm trying. Shotgun is not bad in CQC just in case. |

Minmatar is pretty solid too with a Combat Rifle and Swarms.

the AR's are getting some love in delta if the sticky in F&I which will help the Commando Gk.0 out too. all may not be lost just yet.
but yeah Mk.0 is a pretty nice suit. i run M/I with wyr SL and BK-42 ACR and 2 damage mods for my AV fit and its still pretty handy vs any stray infantry too

PLC is the worst AV. If you want to kill with it, you need a scout with remotes and AV nades. PLC alone sucks. Scouts with shotguns will kill you before you know it. AR sucks at range. You'll get owned by any other rifle. AR is best with any other suit, especially Gal assault. |

Actually I'm gonna have to disagree with you on that one. With Commando V and PLC Reload V, the overall DPS on the PLC is extremely high against shields, particularly once you get your Prof. up. It suffers against armor of course, but no more than Swarms suffer against shields.

PLC is pretty good AV. Scouts? Pull out the shotgun Ranged enemies? AR says hi I went ahead and put an ALT to level 5 Galmando and level 5 prof with the AR. The reload speed feels very nice on the breach AR, but it is a very niche suit indeed. I have the most success with it in bush or dom pubs. I'm curious to see how the Delta narative changes are going to impact the efficiency of my suit.

JP, I saw you with 1100 ehp!! you mad bro!?
On my proto I run Complex Kin Kat, Complex Cardiac Reg, Complex Rep, Complex Light DMG Mod - Gauged Nanohive
Weapons: PLC and Duvolle/Six Kin CR (I know, but the AR just does not cut it right now)
Other weapons: Shotty/Rail Rifle with scanner Tac AR/AR with scanner
For other weapons the reload bonus plus DMG mod is very nice on the commandos which some of you forget. If you havent skilled into PLC then try swarms/sx kin - if this works, you definately chose the wrong race go look at the minmando (all I can say is you have no skill)
Longest PLC Kill - 193.71m
