GDI: Twisted Dawn Arsenal feature

This is a complete list of the Twisted Dawn GDI Arsenal assigned to your command during Twisted Insurrection. Each unit has it's own introduction during the campaign progression so you can figure out what unit is best for what roles. Please note that changes will more than likely occur over time and some unit/cameos are still using placeholder images as we are still in our beta stages.

Commandos are special forces operatives tasked with the crippling of enemy operations via infiltration and elimination of high priority targets, be it infrastructure or key personnel.

While well acquainted with multiple weapon types, GDI commandos usually favour the SDT-B Vulture Shotgun, a weapon that’s efficient against enemy combatants at close to moderate ranges. In addition, they carry C4 charges for the effective demolition of enemy structures.
