After successfully defending X-45, Helldivers are getting a new Stratagem to destroy bots and bugs with. The MLS-4X Commando is a returning Stratagem from the first game, and not only is it extremely fun to use, it’s also effective.

The Commando is a powerful laser-guided anti-tank rocket launcher equipped with four rockets, capable of destroying Automaton Fabricators and Terminid Bug Holes with a single hit. However, Shrieker Nests and Spore Spewers require three hits to be destroyed.

A single rocket can down a Gunship by aiming at a thruster, making it one of the most effective Support Weapons for engaging them. Meanwhile, regular Dropships will need to be shot twice.

Hulks can be taken down with one shot to the eye, and a Factory Strider can be taken out in two shots to its eyes.

Automaton Tanks and Cannon Turrets can be eliminated with two hits from any angle.

Both Chargers and Bile Titans can be taken out in two hits to the head.

Unlike the Recoilless Rifle, it doesn’t require a backpack, offering more flexibility.

The Commando

The Commando’s projectiles travel a lot slower than those of the Expendable Anti-Tank or Recoilless Rifle, allowing for easier in-flight control.

Although it deals less damage per shot than an EAT or Recoilless, the Commando compensates with a capacity of four rockets that can be rapidly fired, and without needing a support backpack.

The Commando is excellent for blowing up Automaton Fabricators from afar at any angle.


Rockets can be fired without laser guidance; just hold down the reload button and adjust the setting.

Happy hunting out there, and good luck Helldivers!
