JeSTeR's [Commando Guide]

[Wildkarde]

Thanks for the Tip, Ill add Elixir the next HP =)

[KillerZero]

Elixir is good against knife commandos if your a commando yourself because you can speed off far away enough to get a good shot with your sniper

[DarkJeebs]

I can't believe marked target isn't in here! I find 1 point in marked target invaluable for getting those enemy commandos flushed out. I use it in the general direction of known camping spots to see if there is a camper, and most of the time there is! It is also good (like the gunners 6th sense) to see the target behind obstacles, and possibly lining up a shot when they come around the corner
My build:
Stealth 5
Marked Target 1
Piercing Shot 1
(in that order)

currently lvl 13 national commando.

As an added bonus they become more deadly, as if being able to throw them without having to de-Stealth wasn't enough. They are useful in very many situations so maxing this ability out to ensure they are availible most every time you need them is highly recommended, but you wouldn't want to ignore having at least Elixir Rank 1 and Piercing Shot Rank 1 before you consider it. The way to use the Troop Trap for best results when you are throwing it in hopes someone is going wander by it and set it off is to do the following. Always put it flat on the ground or at the very bottom of a structure so that the explosion happens below their feet sending them skyward, this may cause fall damage and will still credit you for the kill. The Troop Trap can be used to assist you in an annoying Knife Fight, to help destroy a Tank, or to throw into a group of people and flee.
*Beware that neutral vehicles that were recently in use set them off, so if you are fleeing a vehicle and plan to throw a Troop Trap, make sure you throw it some distance away from where you or anyone else crashed/parked a Vehicle.

Everyone knows how I play with my Troop Traps.

Poison blade is an absolute win for snipers in CQC.

[Reisser]

Very nice guide dude. I will try and apply these tips next time I play.

p.s.: still I knifed you to hell last time we met on VV

[Yakshaman]

Nice guide Jester.

had a good time with you on Victory village yesterday ^^ (Sinsys the crappy royal commando that completely sucks).

And finally found out how you get up to that snipping point next to the royal base ^^.

Seeying your level just made me realize how crappy match making was ^^.

Will try different build according to your guide

[Mitch47]

LOL this Setup is for Nooby pansies that cant play.
Better be a man and play like Solid Snail.

[JeSTeRP1]

Solid Snail says that Poisoned Blade triggers panic during a surprise attack up close, Well Mark Target does the same thing from afar.

Mark Target - Shoot first, Mark second, then continue to fire. The noise and visual of the Mark Target will cause a hiccup in your targets thought process and give you more time to make the kill without the risk of being killed by your target.

I have Mark Target bound to the Middle Mouse Button, or "M2" as its labeled in the game. Makes it very easy to use while doing everything else. (Aiming/ Scoping/ Shooting)

[Gargantua]

Great guide - I agree with all your points, but I would add that Mark Target can be really quite useful. In my opinion, stealth and traps are priorities, but a level 1 MT is handy too. It refreshes quickly, so it's worth tapping it regularly to see what pops up. More often than not, it will reveal an enemy commando, especially if you point it at the prime sniping areas. Even if you don't manage to shoot them yourself, it will almost always panic them and allow your teamates to take them out, which also gives you points.

[Gargantua]

Hehe - you jumped in and said more or less the same thing while I was typing, Jester!

[Solid Snail]

Just throw it on the ground near where you want to go, turn your back towards the direction you want to get launched, stand as close as possible to the Troop Trap and then Snipe the top part of the Explosive. Very useful on a lot of parts in Buccaneer Bay for getting up on those cliffs with the plateaus to Snipe from.

I always remember this when you hop onto the Cliff near Royals' base in VV, campin behind the rock.

[Sir Gnome]

Thanks for the amazing guide JeSTeR! I agree with all of what you said. Actually, I changed my setup a while ago from maximum stealth to 2 stealth - 3 piercing shot and I have to say that I like it way more like this.
