Recommended Items

Recommended Items For Commando

Item	Recommendation Criteria
Soldier's Syringe	The Soldier's Syringe will increase Commando's attack speed, allowing him to make his shots faster.
Backup Magazine	The Backup Magazine increases Commando's Phase Round use per stack. This makes it easier for him to crowd control and hit several enemies in a straight line with one shot.
Gasoline	Gasoline burns enemies and spreads out when they die. This is great supplement to Commando's single-targeting Double Tap shots.
Ukulele	With the chance to do chain lightning attacks, the Ukulele is a great help in defeating hordes of enemies, especially in higher difficulties.
Bandolier	The Bandolier gives the chance for enemies to drop ammo packs that reset cooldowns. This is useful for the Commando's Phase Round and Suppressive Fire moves.

This recommendation is based off Common (White) and Rare (Green) items for ease of finding within the game.

Recommended Equipment

The Ocular HUD provides 100% Critical Strike Chance for every hit for 8 seconds. Since the Commando's Suppressive Fire is more solo-targeting, this is a great way to bring down targets such as bosses & tanky enemies HP fast.
