Lockpick: Like Science, I took this skill so that I wouldnвЂ™t be locked out of anything. Leave this one at 90 you can always use a ProgrammerвЂ™s Digest for very hard terminals. Science: Aside from being necessary for hacking terminals, there are quite a few Science skill checks in the game, some of which require the skill to be rather high. YouвЂ™ll want to get this to at least 90 for Jury Rigging, though you can max it out if you want.

Repair: Keeping your weapons in good condition is essential for any character. YouвЂ™ll want to get this one up all the way to 100.

Guns: No surprise here, youвЂ™ll obviously want to be good with the weapons that you use. I also recommend tagging all of them except Lockpick. Focus on boosting them to the recommended levels before moving on to other skills. These are skills that youвЂ™ll be relying on regularly. Be sure to get the Intelligence implant ASAP. Finally, Intelligence and Agility are both at six to allow for a decent number of skill points and action points, respectively. Luck is boosted all the way to nine for a nice all-around boost to skills and critical hit chance. Strength and Perception will both be at six with the relevant implants, meaning that weвЂ™ll hit the minimum strength requirements for our guns and the minimum perception requirements for a couple of key perks. It isnвЂ™t a particularly useful stat for this build, hence why itвЂ™s at the absolute minimum. With eight Endurance, we can use every implant in the game except one, the Charisma implant in the CommandoвЂ™s case. While having extra health is always nice, EnduranceвЂ™s real usefulness to the Commando comes from all the implants it enables us to use. If you donвЂ™t have the Lonesome Road DLC and thus canвЂ™t get UlyssesвЂ™ Duster then I recommend Joshua GrahamвЂ™s Armor, or barring that, whatever light armor you can find with the highest damage threshold. I also wore Sunglasses for the sake of looking cool. Having a high critical hit chance is key to the CommandoвЂ™s offense, and both of those items are among the few items in the game that boost it. While IвЂ™m on the subject of equipment, I recommend using a 1 st Recon Beret and UlyssesвЂ™ Duster. Until you can get these two guns, I recommend the Service Rifle and a fully automatic weapon of your choosing. Unfortunately, it canвЂ™t use any armor-piercing ammunition, so youвЂ™ll have to stick with the All-American for taking down armored targets. If you have Gun RunnerвЂ™s Arsenal, I recommend the GRA version of the gun since unlike the regular version it can not only mount a Silencer, but a Laser Sight and Stacked Magazine as well. Boasting some of the highest DPS in the game, this thing will absolutely tear up anyone who gets close to the Commando. While the Commando works best engaging enemies at mid-range, sometimes they get too close for comfort and thatвЂ™s when the 12.7mm SMG comes out. Since it has a low AP cost and the Commando has a high critical hit chance, pretty much every round of VATS will produce at least one critical. A nice, well-rounded weapon, its primary use is for taking down enemies via headshots in VATS. His primary weapon is the All-American, used for mid to long range combat. The CommandoвЂ™s playstyle is best exemplified by the two guns he uses, so IвЂ™m going to do something a little unusual and start talking about equipment first. Seeing as the build was already more or less complete, however, simply letting it sit on my hard drive and collect dust always felt rather wasteful to me, so IвЂ™ve finally returned to finish the build I should have completed a year ago.

This character was my New Vegas playthrough, and I was originally planning on posting it as a build in the months leading up to Fallout 4, but even though I finished both the playtesting and the writeup I ended up losing interest in the project and shelved it.

After the site changed its name and began incorporating greater amounts of Fallout content, I decided it was high time to give the Fallout series a try in preparation for Fallout 4, so I played through New Vegas and then Fallout 3. While I already have a few completed Fallout 4 builds under my belt, this project actually predates all of them.

And now for something completely different.
