Stratagem Code
Players must enter the following sequence, using the controller d&#8209;pad, in order to call down this single-use stratagem during a mission:

Unlock Requirement
The MLS-4X Commando is a DLC weapon, available at any rank to those who purchase the Commando Pack.

Weapon Stats

 * 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.


 * 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.
 * The Commando can be reloaded without firing all of its missiles. Keep an eye on the amount of missiles left in the MLS-4X of the person you are carrying the support kit for. Reloading the Commando when it still has most of its missiles left wastes ammunition.

Gameplay Tips

 * 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 Cyborg AA Guns, Illuminate Beacons or Bug Nests, this requires extreme skill as the missiles only home in on enemies.
 * The Commando is the only secondary weapon that does NOT discard ammo when reloading (applies to self-reloads only). Any left-over missiles remaining in the launcher can still be used when the reload-animation is canceled.
