__TOC__
== Description ==
The '''Commando''' is a ground unit that can be obtained through triumphing the [[Area 51]] map in Normal+ mode as part of the [[Area 51 Event]]. It cannot be bought in the store. It has a grey shirt and dark grey pants but wears metal arm covers and boots. Its head is yellow and it wields dual laser pistols. At Level 2+, the '''Commando''' will be able to shoot rockets from its rocket launcher strapped on its back.

The '''Commando''' attacks by shooting its laser pistols. After Level 2, however, it gains a rocket launcher which means that it can deal splash damage. At Level 4, the rocket launcher will shoot 4 rockets at a time. However, the main weakness of this tower is that it cannot detect hidden zombies, meaning that you are forced to rely on towers such as the [[Crook Boss]] for hidden detection (the rockets are able to damage hidden zombies but not target them directly).

== Strategy ==
*The rockets actually have 100% accuracy even though they aim for where the target originally was when the rockets are fired.
**This means that the rockets can hit fast zombies such as [[Shock]]s and [[Glitch]]es, with full damage applied to targeted zombie.
**Interestingly, the explosion does not form over where the rockets land, but instead over the current position of the enemy.
* Initially, the '''Commando''' is very weak due to its high cost and low DPS.
** The tower only becomes worthwhile after Level 4, due to its quad rocket launcher.
*This tower is somewhat great against hordes of zombies, due to its rocket launcher.
**It is also great against [[Golden]] zombies as they are still directly damaged from the laser pistols.
*The rockets have the same stated damage as the laser pistols.
*While the rocket firerate is 6 seconds, it normally takes about 2 seconds for the rocket to reach the path. This results in effective firerate being extended to about 8 seconds.
**This means that this tower should not be reliably used for splash damage as other splash damage towers, such as the [[Mortar]] and [[Rocketeer]], have a faster firerate.

== Trivia ==
* This is the second event tower, after the [[Gladiator]].
* This tower is based on the [[w:c:riskofrain2|Commando Risk of Rain 2]] version of the '''Commando'''.
*Prior to the MEGA update, the '''Commando''' had one of the highest DPS values in the game, not even including the rocket launcher.
**Now, however, this tower is rarely used in regular gameplay.
*The '''Commando''' appears alongside the [[Commander]] on the "Triumph" screen.
*This is the only event tower that has never been available through a gamepass.
*The Default Level 0-4 pistols used by the '''Commando''' are the [https://www.roblox.com/catalog/2569022418/Twin-Space-Pistols Twin Space Pistols] from the Roblox catalog.
*This was the first event tower to have a skin.
