MLS-4X Commando

The 4X Missile Launcher System is a shoulder carried, multiple missile system. It launches four heat seeking missiles that try to home in on targets and eliminate them. The MLS-4X is part of the Commando equipment kit. It comes with a Support Kit backpack that can reload either it or the RL-112 Recoilless Rifle.

The Commando's missiles are quite agile, and can make 180° turns with ease. As they prefer to target the closest hostile, this can easily cause friendly-fire situations if a missile should loop back to hit a scout immediately in front of a teammate.

Upgrading the Commando to Mk3 makes its missiles anti-tank capable. While this could, in theory, destroy mission objectives such as AA Guns, Beacons or Bug Nests, this requires extreme skill as the missiles only home in on enemies.

Helldivers can carry up to 6 reloads for the Commando in the Support Kit backpack. Picking up a single ammo crate fully restocks the Support Kit. Each reload contains 4 missiles (8 if used to reload the Mk2 Commando). If the weapon is fired with 2 or less missiles remaining, the 'low ammunition' warning sound will play.

The Commando can be reloaded without firing all of its missiles. Reloading the Commando without assistance immobilizes the Helldiver for 5 seconds. If assisted by another player carrying a Support Kit, reloading takes 0.9 seconds. Both the RL-112 and MLS-4X Support Kits are identical and each can be used to reload either weapon.

Helldivers can request an assisted reload from a teammate carrying a Support Kit by using the 'Reload' button (X on the PlayStation) while standing next to them. This does not work, however, if the player needing an assisted reload is also carrying a Support Kit themselves. In this case, hitting 'Reload' will initiate the slow self-reload instead. Bear in mind that the player who needs a reload must have the Commando weapon in their hands for another to be able to assist.
