For a cross-game overview of this perk, see Commando. |
“Rigorous combat training means that those favoring V.A.T.S. and who have a keen collection of automatic guns (the Weapons chapter lists the specific armaments) are bound to enjoy this perk. When firing from your hip (without V.A.T.S. or aiming down your sights), your accuracy is also improved, so fast-moving Bloatflies are much less of a pest, and more dangerous foes go down under a hail of more damaging bullets.”— Fallout 4 Vault Dweller's Survival Guide perk description
Commando is an Agility perk in Fallout 4.

Affected weapons[]
In order for a weapon to be affected by this perk, it has to be equipped with a mod that turns it into an automatic weapon, or it has to intrinsically be one (as is the case with the submachine gun).
Once turned into an automatic weapon, the following weapons are affected by the Commando perk:
Notes[]
- The perk does not affect automatic heavy weapons, such as the minigun and Gatling laser.
- The submachine gun only has automatic weapon mods, hence it is always affected by this perk.
- Although the flamer barrel effectively turns a plasma gun automatic, it gains no benefit from this perk.
- The handmade rifle, introduced with Nuka-World, utilizes all five ranks for different modifications to it.
- The icon shows Vault Boy using a R91 assault rifle while wearing an Army helmet.
