Tranq darts with crossbow.

Note that it takes several tranq darts to take down both MIBS/WIBS and commandos. You can soften up MIBS and WIBS with gas grenades, but commandos are immune to gas. Make sure you have adequate cover to duck behind before trying this.

Although I have found that MIBs/WIBs and Commandos are just as easy to taake down witht he prod as a regular trooper. Gas isnt the only thing you can use to soften up MIBs/WIBs is it? I think I have shot them with guns to soften them up before

(dropping in online quickly here)

Commandos are susceptible to EMP grenades. Shuts down their precious armor. Then you can deal with them as you will.

(gotta go, cya later)

Don't waste too many tranq darts on them, just shoot them 4 to 5 times with pistol, if they hurt enough, one tranq dart will drop them. :rolleyes: ;)

The easiest way for me to render unconcious an MiB is to zap him with the prod once and then deliver a tranq dart to the head at point-blank range. This is with primitive weapons at skill level 1, and pistol skill at level 3 (I can never remember the words, sorry!). I'm not sure how effective this is at other skill levels. In any case, it only works if you can sneak-up behind the MiB, of course.

I've also managed to knock-out an MiB using only the prod, but it took at least five "shots" (maybe more?).

(Walt Simons voice) I was not aware of this.

I will have to go back and try this. I always wanted to play the game through totally non-lethal (except where the plot requires you to kill someone), but the Commandos were always the reason that stopped me. I just didn't know of anyway to take them down without killing them. If you can EMP them, maybe you can have them stunned long enough to zap them into unconsciousness with the prod.

On the matter of prods and Commandos, I was only able to zap one once. Every other time I have tried sneaking up behind them and prodding them, it goes: "Zap." Commando turns around, jumps back, "Target Acquired." JCD cut into ribbons. I figured my one successful take down must be a fluke.

When encountering MIBs or WIBs I usually charger prodded them in the head and they started to shake and stuff... Then I went back a bit and shot them in the head with the pistol until they dropped dead. OR, I flamed them and as they started to run around screaming I blasted them several times with the shotgun and stood back to watch the fire display.

But Commandos, jeeze, I hated those almost as much as I hated spider bots. I always used my best weapons against commandos like LAMs or the GEP-gun. Kind of a waste but what the heck, those guys scare the sh*t out of me...

I just shoot commandos or MiBs two times in the head with the pistol , and they always go down, including in Hard mode. Or If I'm skilled enough with hand to hand weapons, I use the Dragon's Tooth.
