No commando still has his place in the game even with swat available.
Killing floor 2 swat vs commando vs sharpshooter.
For such a beast of the weapon the minigun has magazine size of only 90 rounds which is likely done for balance purposes however it can be compensated by skill choices of commando.
So i went through the data sheet desert kitsune marlfox posted and did a little math for the curiosity s sake.
This hand held 6 barrel fully automatic cannon offers its operator excessive fire power at cost of massive weight and reduced mobility.
The thing i am wondering after the swat update is what is the purpose of commando now.
If swat does everything better or am i missing something.
The sharpshooter is the far end of the commando gunslinger sharpshooter continuum trading the rate and fire and mobility of the other perks for increased damage and accuracy especially at long range.
With the proper skill setup m99 amr is capable of one shot killing scrakes and two shot killing fleshpounds as a trade off for its devastaing power this weapon leaves only 3 spare blocks of weight for a backup weapon and has rather low ammo pool and rate of fire.
The bullet hose nature of the swat s weapons leave the zeds no chance to stand their ground for long.
The swat s arsenal also offers the flashbang grenade one of the most efficient ways to stun zeds.
It is the heaviest weapon in the arsenal doing huge amount of the damage per bullet.
The sharpshooter is the sniper striking his foes from afar destroying zed after zed with well placed headshots.
The sharpshooter is particularly adept at killing large zeds dishing out impressive damage with each headshots.
Commando skill choices let them focus on either being a man of war for the team through improved weapon handling better damage and increased health and armor or by representing a bulletstorm emitting machine gunner esque type of player that delivers a ton of stopping power thanks to extended magazines and better stumbling capabilities.

Again commando kills sirens and husks better thanks to higher damage per bullet.
