Is Commando good now?

[Rainy]

I know he's not as good as what you would call a S or A tier survivors (Miner and Drifter for example), but I'll say Commando is in a much better spot compared to ROR1 and ROR2

[The Seally One]

I mean, playing him with tac slide and shotgun looked way better than any of his other spells in other ROR imo

[Draconic Creature]

Commando was always good in ror1, and he's even better now in rorr.
More impact than ror2, too.

[Sotanaht]

Drifter is anything but S tier. A few temporary items in exchange for not having a combat ultimate at all, and being forced to stand in place for several seconds while they spawn doesn't make up for very lackluster attacks from other skills.

Commando is and has always been mid tier though. That's his design intent from the start. He does little better than other classes save for basic attack speed, but he doesn't really have any significant drawbacks either.

Mando was always good in 1. He's still good.

Is he? I always thought Commando was god tier in RoR 2, but maybe I'm biased. I just like the dual pistols too much.

People think he's bad because hes not specifically specialized to shine... like huntress can sprint while shooting and blink so she exceels with mobility.

[COMP DBD 1V1]

based on the difficulty of getting consistent rainstorm (not monsoon) clears hes particularly not great
he struggles bad if he doesnt get the right items soon enough and especially is vulnerable to flying mobs without the gear necessary to survive them
meanwhile others like bandit, pilot, and merc just eviscerate the mobs super quick with no effort regardless of items
hes def on the weaker end

I mean, he's average, what do you expect. First character you unlock, literally called "jack of all trades." That said, he does really well with on-hit items, as he always did. If you're running Command or have the choice from multi-shops, always pick on-hit items. Knives, Mortars, Atgs, Centipedes, Thallium, etc. And attack speed of course.

That said, his alternate skills are really good, I'd say they put him a bit above average, though the skill floor is a bit higher. Using his alternate mobility skill, you can slide AND attack at the same time, which is how you make use of his combat knife skill without getting hit yourself. Slide past enemies, knife them as you do, then turn around and shotgun blast. REALLY satisfying and powerful combo.

You can't really mix-match his skills very well, though, each set of skills seems custom-made for itself.
