did you check the thread titled 'leveling commando', there are some hints there, but I would agree with the above, just play it will come. Mine is only level 3, but I still have fun working it. If you want a fast leveler try SS or Demo (on mut)

Play the game.

That's a real detailed answer there from an otherwise unremarkable poster.

OP: You have a few map choices to pick from including: Survival, HeresyBeta3, Candlesmoke, those are definitely the best custom maps. As far as stock goes well the best hands down is Biolabs by the double stairs on normal.

1. Play on kf_defense

2. Weld a door shut

3. Protect the door from the slit (Commandos are VERY good at this until Scrakes come)

4. Look away periodically, this will sometimes spawn a group of stalkers

5. Keep playing on kf_defense until you get bored.

Idk about #3 i can generally handle scrakes fairly easily by myself. Especially with the SCAR-H, more so in kf_defense. When they still haven't broken through the doors ~1.5/2 mags will drop them on normal a bit more for hard. If they have broken through the doors, a mag of single fire HS's when you have a bit of range on them then full auto a fresh mag generally downs them for me.

Play on Manor with a team of people, 4 or more is best. Let them know you want to increment your stalker kill count and politely ask them not to kill stalkers. Then stand outside the boat house, stalkers and crawlers will come down the jetties for your shooting pleasure.

Support is better at killing scrakes attacking the doors, commando is better for everything else.

i only have 300+ to get level 5.. maybe you need to specifically target them in the waves... ie go out of your way to only kill them....

It seems like it takes more to kill them with support. Even with the hunting shotty. Especially given the reload time with it.

And to Pavalion, best map that i've found for grinding stalkers would have to be Heresy. If you can get people to not kill them so much you can get a good few per wave. That is the map i used to get to 6.

Play maps other than bloat-ed doom2 final

Seriously, that amount of damage with 1k stalkers? I call power leveling.

I do enjoy having to level up with stalker kills, commando is the one perk that you can't farm :)

Well considering the quality of PUGs I can kind of see how it's possible. Personally it's quite common to walk into a server with 4-5 players and find that 2-3 of them are all commandos of varying levels. The higher levels tend to grab all the stalker kills on account of their improved detection, the lower levels just get the damage. Not to mention all the teams where people are so busy spamming their favourite weapons that they end up killing all the stalkers along with everything else.

That being said, my commando perk is currently level 3 with about 1 mil damage and 700 stalker kills even with the occasional crappy PUG.

I really only use the AA12 in panic situations. Goes through ammo too damn fast with not enough in reserve.


Set it to semi auto then its just like the regular shot gun. Also keep in mind that it has significantly more ammo than regular shottie around 40 shots more 5 drums x 20 shots = 100 as opposed to 60 some with the pump

Yeah but it's damage is alot less in single shot than that of the regular pump shotty. AFAIK it only shoots 5 pellets instead of 8.

I know how you feel. I have enough damage to be lvl 6 commando but still need another 100 stalkers to hit lvl 5. Anyway just about any map will work, just camp near spots they like to spawn. (Usually anything above you like bridges, vents, etc.) If you have anyone on your network with another copy of kf you could host a lan game and just leave the other character there and horde all the kills for yourself. You can even use your friends pc as bait. (Also a great way to rip through the medic perk. Can make about 10-15K healing per hour.)

the very best way to level commando with stalker kills is to join a server nice enough where everyone will let you get all the stalker kills.
we would do this on heresy/hard, and everyone would let the commando leveler get all the stalkers.
just go to bobswhorehouse and ask, they are usually nice enough to help you out.

we were able to help a few people level from 0-6 in about 4 hours.
