The Carbine Commando is an exciting solo build that can handle nearly any Automaton threat.
The Liberator Carbine makes short work of Berserkers and Automaton Troopers. It features an incredibly high fire-rate and excellent damage. You can still handle Devastators, although you’ll need to be much closer to them, and switch to semi-automatic. Or switch to your Secondary, the P-4 Senator to eliminate Devastators with ease.
This build is ideal for clearing side outposts independent of the team, while they focus on the main objective.
The Liberator Carbine released with the Viper Commandos Warbond, it is comparable to the base AR-23 Liberator, but with a much higher fire-rate, a bit more recoil, and sports a red-dot sight.
The AR-23A has the highest DPS of any assault rifle.
Core Stratagems
Cost: 
8,000, Unlocked at Level 15.
Equipped with four rockets, the Commando is a powerful laser-guided anti-tank rocket launcher that can easily destroy many of the Automaton’s armored units and buildings.
A single rocket can down a Gunship by aiming at a thruster, making it one of the more effective Support Weapons for engaging them. Dropships, on the other hand, require two shots to any one of their thrusters.
Hulks can be taken down with a single, careful shot to their eye.
Automaton Tanks can Cannon Turrets can be eliminated with 2-3 hits to the side or vents. However, a tank will require all 4 shots if you’re shooting the heavily armored frontside.
Unlike the Recoilless Rifle, it doesn’t require a backpack, offering more flexibility.
The Supply Pack is an incredibly useful utility backpack. It allows you to resupply yourself or your allies. It holds four resupply boxes and can be replenished using the standard stratagem resupply boxes.
Recommended Stratagems
Despite being the first Stratagem you unlock, the Orbital Precision Strike is incredibly powerful.
With a 90-second cooldown and a 2-second call-in time, the Precision Strike is available for most engagements with Automaton heavies such as Hulks and Tanks, allowing you to save your Commando rockets.
Anything directly hit by the Orbital Precision Strike will be either instantly destroyed or severely damaged in the case of the Factory Strider.
The Eagle Airstrike is unlocked at level 2 and costs 4,000 . It is one of the most popular Eagle Stratagems in the game and is effective against every enemy you will come across including Tanks, Hulks, Fabricators, Bunkers, and side objectives such as the Mortar Nest. Landing an Eagle Airstrike at the right angle can instantly kill a Hulk, Tank, and will deal a decent amount of damage to the Factory Strider. It is also good at clearing out waves of lighter enemies.
- 2 uses per rearm
- 15s cooldown
The Orbital Laser is an incredibly powerful stratagem, though you’re only allowed 3 uses per game, and it is on a significant cooldown.
It will effortlessly slice through a field of Automatons. It’s a “Throw and forget” kind of stratagem, as the targeting is handled automatically as the laser travels enemy-to-enemy. It’s capable of taking out structures such as Fabricators, Bunkers, and of course the Automaton heavies such as Hulks and Tanks.
