Best Commando Weapons in Killing Floor 3
The best two primary weapons you should aim to get as Commando aretheRed Dot Scar, the one in the middleof the trader’s menu, and theFrag Launcher Knightsbridge, the one on the far left. The Scar should more often than not be used in single-shot mode, focused on landing high-damage headshots and saving rapid fire situations for your Knightsbridge.
While theKnightsbridge deals lower damage, its high capacity magazine and fire ratemake it ideal for dealing with large groups. While grenades are a good focus for this class, having the grenade launcher can help give you an explosive option for when you run out of grenades or need a quick solution for a group of weak enemies.
Thepistol option on the far right is a straight upgradein every way, so save your money until you’re able to get the final way.
Tips for Playing Commando in Killing Floor 3
At the start of rounds, you should focus on taking out weaker enemies with headshots to build up your Zed Time. As things get more hectic, you should use grenades often, taking advantage of the skill that refills grenades with headshots. Once you get the Get Loaded skill, it’s best toalways be switching weapons and never have to worry about seeing a reload animationagain.
You’ll want to upgrade your armor in the event Zeds get too close, but playing this class right should have you generally keeping your distance and not letting them get close. Save your drone for when there are groups of enemies, asthe toxic cloudsit makes make up for a lot more of its damage than you may think. Useknockback grenades or strafing to keep stronger enemies in those toxic cloudsto maximize damage when necessary.
